2. Connecting Computers or Other Devices to the Internet
You can connect multiple devices to the Wi-Fi router simultaneously using Wi-Fi or Ethernet cables.
2a. Connecting a Computer to the Internet via Wi-Fi
On your computer or other device, search for the router's Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi network name (Wi-Fi SSID) can be found on the label on the bottom of the Wi-Fi router.
Your computer or other device will ask you to enter the password (Wireless Key), which is located on the label on the bottom of the Wi-Fi router.
If you entered the password correctly, your computer or other device will connect to the internet. If not, repeat the process.
The Wi-Fi router will self-configure, and access to the purchased services will be available within a few minutes.
Wi-Fi Connection Details:
A label on the bottom of the Wi-Fi router contains the network credentials. It displays:
- Wi-Fi SSID: Zyxel_XXXX
- Wireless Key: XXXXXXXXXXX
You can connect your device (e.g., smartphone) to the Wi-Fi network using these credentials. The device will display the network name (SSID) and prompt for the Wireless Key.
2b. Connecting a Computer to the Internet via Ethernet Cable
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (yellow) to any of the LAN 1-4 ports on the Wi-Fi router, and the other end of the cable to your computer or another device.
Overall connection of your devices to the Wi-Fi router:
This diagram shows the Wi-Fi router connected to power. An Ethernet cable connects from one of the router's LAN ports to a computer. Other devices are shown connecting wirelessly to the router, indicated by a Wi-Fi symbol.
3. Advanced Configuration via Wi-Fi Router Web Interface
To further configure the Wi-Fi router, for example, to change the Wi-Fi password, enter the address http://192.168.100.1
in your browser.
A login screen will appear. Enter the username (User Name) 'admin' and the password (Login Password), which you can find on the label attached to the back of the Wi-Fi router.
Login Screen Example:
The login screen displays the router's IP address (192.168.100.1), the product name (ZYXEL VMG3927-T50K), fields for 'User Name' (pre-filled with 'admin') and 'Login Password' (pre-filled with 'XXXXXXXX'), and a 'Login' button.
For increased security, it is advisable to set your own username and password to access the Wi-Fi router interface. We recommend writing it down and storing it in a known location.
To change the password on the home page, click the [pencil icon] in the top right corner, then navigate to the 'Device Management' > 'User Account' tab. After the page loads, click the pencil icon on the far right in the row with the Username: admin.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Wi-Fi router is not working correctly?
Check that all cables are properly connected at both ends. Turn off the Wi-Fi router using the [Power Button] and unplug it from the power outlet for 1 minute. Then plug it back in and turn it on. Check the LED indicators on the front panel of the Wi-Fi router. The Power (first from left), Internet (third from left), and WAN (second from left) indicators should be green. WPS/WLAN should be green (solid or blinking), indicating the Wi-Fi network is active.
What should be done if the LAN LED indicator on the converter is not green?
Check the correct connection of the Ethernet cables. It is important that the cable connecting the Wi-Fi router and the converter is plugged into one of the LAN2-LAN3-LAN4 ports on the converter. Check this connection if you have purchased Partner Fiber Optic Internet from Orange or Orange TV via cable.
What should be done if the Internet LED indicator on the router is red?
