Pic0o Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wanted to get a thread going for this device, as J0k3r suggested this device and I recently got one for home. Our banter started in this thread.Since I'm a self taught network dude, it took me a bit to map my VLANs happily and to get wifi back up with my old router as basically a Access Point Switch.Device worked great out of the box. My questions came up when trying to open some ports. After talking to ZyXel tech support, I found out how to properly add a NAT rule to accompany my Firewall rule. Once I bound the NAT properly, I was rocking.Device is diesel. I'm testing wifi side on my mobile, so I'll retouch this thread on a keyboard. Highly recommend this device. Seeing how many funky packets get shot down from sending to my network, has surely been interesting. :) I know benchmarks for my WAN aren't super relevant, but hey, here they are.

Pic0o Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wow this thread is light. This device continues to do me well. I am rebuilding from scratch and remembered a handy end tip for Firewall Rules. Remember your NAT to Service Port rule.From there, your forwarding should be functioning well. Check and your ports should be opened. Link to comment
