I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the
ZyXEL Device), but my Internet connection is not available anymore.

the Quick Start Guide and
2 Reboot the ZyXEL Device.
3 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.

on page
some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2 Check the signal strength. If the signal is weak, try moving the ZyXEL Device closer to
the AP (if possible), and look around to see if there are any devices that might be
interfering with the wireless network (microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
3 Reboot the ZyXEL Device.
4 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the
advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
