Ways to Manage the NBG4604
Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG4604.
•
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of
the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device.
•
Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the

1.4
Good Habits for Managing the NBG4604
Do the following things regularly to make the NBG4604 more secure and to
manage the NBG4604 more effectively.
•
Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists
of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
•
Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
•
Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the
NBG4604 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG4604. You
could simply restore your last configuration.

The WPS Button
Your NBG4604 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set
up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined
by the WiFi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without
having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works
between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s
documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device
itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification
Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two
devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another
device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a
secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see
Section 5.2.1 on page 57
.

Wall Mounting
You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.
1
Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of
the device.
2
Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the
wall when drilling holes for the screws.
3
If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the
anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors.
Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do
not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
