P600 series zyxel router wifi will show connected on ios devices but not work

Hello, Roger -

The ZyXEL P600 appears to be a wireless computer modem / router (WiFi modem / router.)

To use it with a computer, you will need Internet service (a paid internet service provider.)

See the instructions here (Establishing a Wireless Network):
http://support.brighthouse.com/Article/Connect-Computer-Router-6628/

In case the person who gave you the wireless router did not give you the instruction manual for it, the manual you can find here, may prove helpful:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1054123/Zyxel-Communications-P-600-Series.html

Personal opinion: Seek out reliable relative or friend who is knowledgeable about computers and wireless routers to assist and instruct you. You will need one-on-one help.

Best wishes.

When it's connected to the ISP modem. Perhaps this will help: https://www.magnet.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ZYXEL-install-and-wireless-set-up.pdf

If I read this correctly the Zyxel P600 is a wireless device? Take a look at this, is this your device: https://www.magnet.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ZYXEL-install-and-wireless-set-up.pdf OR HERE: http://www.zyxel.com/products_services/p_660h_series.shtml?t=p You can add a second wireless device, if you want, by using a port on the P600, is that what you are asking? Depending on what you want to connect, the wireless adapter specs, to the wireless? B, G, N, AC wireless?

when going wifi
you have to go to internet connections or options in the control panel and click on the LAN settings button
the wifi modem will have a security code on the back and the wifi connection area code
click on the found area code on the back of the modem then enter the security code

Reset and reconfigure the router.

If it's any consolation. My BB 8820 connects to my Zyxel NBG-460N, but after a few minutes the connection just dies (the BB still shows its connected to the WiFi, tries to use it and can in fact send packets out, but it does not receive anything any more). The router has gone through 3 firmware upgrades so far and no solution. It's also causing trouble with some USB WiFi sticks when the SSID hiding is enabled.

In short: I believe ZyXEL's WLAN support is simply broken, and you'll have to buy a WLAN AP from another manufacturer.

check the zyxel's visibility settings.

You can simply reset the device to factory defaults. There's a reset button at the back of it. Hold it down for 30 second with the power on. That will reset the unit back to router function.

You need to put the zyxel p600 into bridged mode

The user manual or user guide of the 660R-D1 is available on the zyxel.com site, if you go into the following path:
Support and downloads --> download library ---> up at the right hand side top you see a drop down menu with list of products, choose 660R Compact series. This brings you to the download page and you can choose out
Model : P-660R-D1
Version : 3.40
Language : English
OS : N/A
Release Date : 07-14-2006

Citating the part from the manual that I think is important (see down at the bottom of this post the speeds, and the note that it may be influenced by your ISP standard. Ask your ISP what they use.):

1.1

The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL2+ gateway that allows super-fast internet access over analog (POTS) or digital (ISDN) telephone lines (depending on your model).
In the ZyXEL Device product name, "R" denotes an integrated router and "D" denotes a chip set standard.
Your ZyXEL Device product name ends with a number. Models ending in "1", for example P660R-D1, a denote a device that works over the analog telephone system, POTS (plain old telephone service). Models ending in "3" denote a device that works over ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). Models ending in "7" denote a device that works over T-ISDN (UR-2)

1.2

The DSL RJ-11 (ADSL over POTS models) or RJ-45 (ADSL over ISDN models) connects to your ADSL-enabled telephone line. The ZyXEL Device is compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. Maximum data rates attainable for each standard are shown in the next table:

ADSL:
Up: 832 kbps Down: 8Mbps
ADSL2:
Up: 3,5Mpbs Down: 12Mpbs
ADSL2+:
Up: 3,5Mbps Down: 24Mbps

Note: if your ZyXEL Device does not support Annex M, the max ADSL2/2+ upstream data rate is 1,2Mbps.
ZyXEL Devices which work over ISDN do not support Annex M. The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the distance from your ISP, line quality etc.
