Zyxel GM4100-B0 with blue Internet M

maotter

I tried connecting a Zyxel GM4100-B0 instead of my Internet Box 2 in order to have more control over my network (I use another router). The g.fast connection works right away, the IP is assigned but there is no Internet connection. I then managed to add the DHCP Option 60 on my router and was able to insert my Swisscom credentials in the captive portal. At that stage Internet works but after a short while a splash page from Swisscom asks me the activation code and I have no Internet access.

Does anybody have any experience with such a setup? I understand that I should also define VLAN 10 but I did not try it yet.

Thanks!

I can confirm that adding VLAN 11 it works perfectly fine.

Hello. I’m trying to operate a Zyxel GM4100 which is to be connected to a Fritzbox. Which settings helped you? I can’t get any further in Zyxel than the activation screen.

Bear in mind that it does not create a NAT (it is a bridge) but If you connect directly and type its IP Address in a web browser you should access the GUI. The credentials are on the back of the unit and the IP likely 192.168.8.1 (google it as I do not remember).

Hear are the instructions:

For DSL you don’t need to set VLAN 10.

I’m not sure how and why it works, but it’s not because you set VLAN 11. Where did you find this information?

I can confirm that without VLAN 11, at the time I configured my device, it did not work. I found the information in a post on a Swisscom forum. I cannot tell if it is still required.
