Hi all,

I recently bought a Zyxel P-660HW t1 v2 to replace the Huaweii 880 that TTT provided me 2 years ago with my premier subscription. I just wanted to setup a wireless home network, which works fine now.

Problem 1
I can't forward my ports (for Utorrent): When I login the 192.168.1.1 page, there is no options under the "status" tab, so I can't change any of the modem settings. Screenshots on websites show several tabs with the usual network, security, advanced, etc... tabs.
Even simple port forwarding which I had success with in the past won't work neither.

Problem 2
Firefox shows "timeout" messages for nearly each page I open while Utorrent is running. It needs several refresh to load the page that then loads very fast... I know any torrent app is supposed to slow down internet connection, but this did not happen with that Huaweii 880 before! And the laptop on the wireless network loads pages just fine!!

Am I completely forgetting something? Is there any secret to unlock the modem, should I just not bother and change for another model?

Any help is appreciated

Password for logging with admin rights in this router is either 'admin' or '1234'.

Hi trogers,
Thanks for the tip. Both passwords actually work... Take me to the same screen though. Any other idea?

See this:

To port forward, you first must set a static LAN IP address into the network connection of your comp.

Then you go to NAT setup of the router and port forward to this static LAN IP address.

Hey, thanks again for the tips.
That said, my problem occurs much prior to setting a static IP... If only i was there...

The thing is I do not have the option of that Advanced or wizard screen that is shown on the True page. This is the one I get:

 Zyxel.gif ( 36.58K ) Number of downloads: 94



As I said, this is not the modem I got in the Maxnet package, I bought it recently; so maybe they don't give permission to another modem to access advanced settings?

Sorry, this is frustrating and I don't want to bother everybody with it...

Cheers,

This happens when you input a wrong password. I have a Zixel too.

If you don't know your password you can reset the router, if you know how to set it again. Username and provider password and other settings.

Plug the router into the power socket and turn on its power. Press the little reset button at the rear of the router for 10 seconds, while power on, and release. The router will reset to factory default settings and the Wizard should appear when you log in.

It seems the whole menu tree is missing. Can you click on the name of the Router in blue on the screen given?

If not then it seems the router has been modified to prevent you from doing so.

On mine I go to NAT, then SUA only then I can open the ports.

Here we go, i can't click on anything except that packet statistics link (Bottom right) that brings a pop up window with an error message. The menu... has no menu.

I tried to reset the thing as well. Nothing works.

Well, I must pay my bill, so I'll try to ask the guys at Maxnet.

I'll keep tou posted...

cheers

Sorry, I kinda skipped your post... Thanks! I've rebooted already, but maybe I keep entering a wrong password? I'll try again..

Cheers

Rebooting the router doesn't change the problem. You need to reset. Then follow the wizard and you can set a new password too. I guess default password is admin or 1234

OK, SOLVED!!!!

Thanks guys, I was a muppet.... I thought I reset already, but actually, you need the "plug-turn on-THEN reset" to actually do it. I was just pressing the thing for 10 secs, and of course it didn't work.

Got the screen, got the settings, ports forwarded, topic closed.
Thanks again.

might be that ur utorrent is eating up all available bandwith and connections by opening so many ports

just download at night when not using internet

Interesting that in this thread there are quite a view people having troubles getting the port forward to work stable on a P-660H-T1 V2 (no wireless). I can't believe that hardware and/or software is so different besides the wireless part.

cykomiko, do you achieve good performance on your setup? What is the maximum number of connections you have configured ('global maximum number of connections' in uTorrent)? Which firmware do you use.

Maybe you can help out the guys on the other thread!?
