Zyxel C1000Z Product Details
VDSL2 High Speed Broadband Access
The C1000Z is based on VDSL2 standards offering fast access to the Internet while maintaining stable connections
delivering enough bandwidth to surf the Internet. Heavy multimedia use, such as simultaneously streaming
video/audio content and online-gaming, is faster and smoother with the C1000Z.
802.11n Wireless Technology
The C1000Z features 802.11n technology with 5 dBi antennas (2T x 2R) which provides the ultimate solution:
improved speed, reduced dead zones, and extended coverage. With data rates of up to 300 Mbps, the C1000Z
provides stable and reliable wireless connections for high-speed data and multimedia delivery.
Enhanced Security Features Forms Robust Protection
Enhanced security ensures the protection of traffic from the WAN to the LAN. Through ZyXEL’s implementation
of dual Ethernet firewalls (NAT and SPI), the C1000Z is able to identify and manage malicious content and
applications. And, as part of its wireless security design, the C1000Z supports WPA2/WPA/WEP and features a
hardware WPS button allowing customers to enjoy easy setup using a simple button. These features simplify
the end user’s ability to set up and utilize a secure, wireless network.
TR-069 Remote Management
The C1000Z provides DSL Forum compliant TR-069 remote management features to ensure faster deployment
by Service Providers. In addition, ZyXEL’s standard onboard management options, remote provisioning,
monitoring, and management features help CenturyLink reduce OPEX while enhancing customer satisfaction.
IPv6 Enabled
Many North American carrier networks are migrating from IPv4 to IPv4/IPv6 which creates the potential for
stranded equipment unable to support these requirements. Certified as an IPv6-ready vendor for over three
years, ZyXEL is a global-provider of equipment supporting dual-stack IP networks and provides this feature on
many current ZyXEL products, including the C1000Z.

I recently added VDSL to a non-primary residence and setup this router in conjunction with a video surveillance system. I’ve not had one issue with it and it has been a solid performer. When we stay at the house, we connect numerous devices from televisions, tablets, smart phones, laptops, game systems and more. All devices with the exception of the surveillance system connect wirelessly and the performance is great. We stream movies and put a lot of data through it without one glitch. I’m so glad I decided to purchase the unit outright and not go with the equipment rental as it will pay for itself in less than 4 months.Feature wise I’m please with the available options and in particular the guest network feature. I’ve also set mine up with multiple wireless networks each on various segments for added security. Having an extensive background in technology and networking I can tell you the interface made it easy enough for the average user to accomplish what I did with little or no understanding of networks. Pretty impressive!

Worked as described – Prompt delivery-Thanks!
Jolae –
Came quickly and seems to be working just fine !
Scott Buchanan –
Direct replacement for the modem supplied by CenturyLink.
David M. Wood –
This works fine for simple networking, wireless, and wireless printing. However, I find the absence of a manual (mine came via Centurylink) very frustrating–the help links on the Web configuration pages point only to Centurylink documentation, which doesn’t cope with details. For instance: I want to permit remote logins (via SSH) to different computers behind my home firewall. Using the DHCP reservation list, I have assigned specific local IP addresses to all machines and devices in the house. Then I set up port forwarding (different SSH ports for different machines). Alas, after random amounts of time the devices listed in the “Device Table” (which shows devices and their current local IP addresses) show IP addresses that have NOTHING to do with what I assigned in the DHCP reservation list. Suggestions from CenturyLink support have been helpful but not sufficient to resolve my problems.

DudeKnack –
The router came in rough shape when it was promised it was “like new,” in addition it came with a charger that doesn’t quite fit in the hole so when you plug it in sparks fly out! A little disconcerting. However, it’s been working fine for the last 2 months.
David L Holman –
Used, but works perfectly.
JayConsumer –
Decent unit with clean interface. Supports VDSL and IP6, so when the provider upgrades protocols, I’ll not have to replace my unit.
PGW –
Working great for multimedia streaming and data, both thru Wi-Fi and Cat-5 ethernet. Provider delivering 3.3Mbps.
Kalani M –
For a used product, have no problems so far. Working to the fullest extent. Satisfied with product.
Mark J Doss –
Great product at a great price! I sent back the identical unit that I was renting from a communications provider, and purchased this unit, which is every bit as good as the one I was tossing money away on!
SimplySoGood –
the wifi is kind of crappy. Tried hooking it up to a different router and couldn’t get it to work. Other than that it seems to bee an okay modem/router
Maygon –
Just as described, no issues
Alyssa Morales –
Packaged well, easy to install
Ross Anderson –
This modem + router worked flawlessly with our CenturyLink service. The reason I bought it was because ever since Qwest changed to CenturyLink no one ever bothered to provide us a new modem so we were stuck using the same Qwest modem from 10 years ago. Setting up the device was pretty easy if you have any basic networking knowledge. I just plugged it into the power, DSL line, and connect to the local IP to set up the wireless. So far so good!
Philip –
works as I expected. So far no problems.
The Fool –
just as described. works perfectly.
Customer –
Works great no problems. Came quickly
Aaron –
I haven’t had any issues with the modem. My wireless signal never drops and my wired stays on as well. Setup worked with CenturyLink right out of the box without problems.

L. Garner –
We had to contact Centurylink to get the item to work properly. Once we did, it has been working well ever since.
horacio –
it give me the use of internet fast , I love it
pancho –
This is a used product. Some scratches, very dusty, has not been reset from the last owner.Easy to setup, good user interface. Worked the first time. The router antenna is very weak, some of my devices that connected fine to my lynksis router before won’t connect here. Very weak signal. I had to disable the router portion and use this purely as a modem. I’m using an old dlink router instead and it’s much easier to connect to. Overall, not bad if you use it as a modem only.
Kayleen Higbee –
Works fine. At had a little trouble with password. Called Centurylink and they helped me with no problem. Works flawlessly. I haven’t had any problems with it.I would recommended it.
M. Lincoln –
Switched over from my rented unit from CenturyLink. Worked great! The technicians did have to set up their system to recognize the unit. Remember to tell them to update their system to recognize a modem that is not theirs, so the signal gets through. No more rental fees, yay!
Customer –
Router is great, runs a little warm but doesn’t hurt performance. Was shipped fast and secure as well. Only area for improvement may be an installation guide to help set up.
Kham7018 –
I really like this box it works awesome
Iconic –
Good enough if used with Ethernet cables, but signal power is weak otherwise. It doesn’t have antenna at all, hence has weak WiFi capability, but is good enough for the price.
mat –
It came on time. It works well.
Customer –
Good performance
Customer –
Awesome!
DNM –
This is probably called the ‘customer service’, I bought this product from this seller long back and never had any problems. But few months back, I’d experienced real bad signals from this wifi router, and when connected to the service provider (CL) they say the connection from our end is good and there is a problem with the router. I then contacted ZYXEL, and guess what … there was an immediate response from this seller replacing with another product. I’m certainly delighted for the service provided, please keep up your service and thanks for the delayed response. The product is working fine.
Tamara –
It is perfect and works great.
Erin B. –
So far works fine with CenturyLink ADSL2+ in North Dakota. Not much else to say about it, it hooked up easily and works fine. We’ll see how long it holds up, but as of now I have no complaints.
Shelli A. Carpenter –
Modem works awesome and at a great price!!
Happydevo –
Works well with my century link service. Was easy to set up and has not given me any real problems. Interface would use improvements, but I guess you can say that about anything. Once you get used to it, it is easy to allocate fixed IP addresses to device, do port forwarding and set up DMZ. I think it is fine for new users or tech savvy users both.
Susan SoRelle –
Works as planned and paid for itself in first few months!
Customer –
works like a charm, plugged it and and worked right away
Robert Hammond –

Yunjie Guan –

Joe Harris –
product works great!
Customer –
Great product at a great price that will do whatever you need it too.
Chuck –
so far, so good. Easy to install although getting the right century link employee was key, no problems, quick shipping, smooth transaction.
Claire Tenenbaum –
Did not come with a cord to hook up to the internet
Bre H –
The plug-in cord sent with this item has an adapted bit, meaning it does not securely fit into the jack and will come unplugged easily. The internet has been failing sporadically after 6 months without issue, though this is usually solved (though only temporarily) by unplugging the power and plugging it back in.
David Taylor –
Worked fine but didn’t get Ethernet cable which is needed for install
paul baskette –
these units can only be used on century link
Joe Khul –
Works as advertised – and I don’t have to pay the monthly rental scam to the internet provider.
Earthwmn –
used Item as promised. all good.
Charles C. –
CenturyLink technician could not get it to work!
SimplyD –
Instead of renting from CenturyLink this is seriously the cheapest and most affective option I highly suggest buying this product!! Works well and easy to understand!
Robert Delph –
So far so good. I’ve dealt with modems before and if this one lasts more than a year I’ll give it more stars.
LO77203 –
Plugged everything in and it worked .
Mamallama –
I was bummed I couldnt find what I needed with prime shipping but this came the same day as my prime order!! Very impressed. Thank you!
Patrick Kuczynski –
Great replacement for my original
Cyrus E Phelps Sr –
Worked first time out of the box. Easy to setup.
Maggie –
Works great!
TV Boss –
I bought the refurbished model. It arrived in pristine condition with all the necessary cords.No instructions shipped with it, which I thought was odd and the reason for only 4 stars.Plugged it in, attempted to install it and was having issues. I had to reset the modem, it hadn’t been reset before being sent to me. I find that strange since it was supposedly refurbished, but regardless, once that was done, installing was a breeze.Bottom line, works great. My old modem I was constantly having to reset it. This one is flawless so far.I would definitely recommend.
Paul D –
The modem works once it finally boots up. Takes forever to reboot the modem. I thought the modem was broken when I kept watching for the DSL light to turn green. After waiting 15 minutes I looked up the number for Centurylink to call support. By the time I found the number I noticed the DSL and internet light finally started to light up. My prior modem which finally died after 9 years booted up in about 2 minutes.
