Zyxel C1100Z CenturyLink Wireless VDSL2 Modem

Saved a bunch by buying this versus from the cable company. Works as it should.

this did not come with any instruction and Century Link has been less than helpful.

Came in a CenturyLink box so they can’t even claim it’s not the right modem for you :’DWorks much better than the crappy ones they normally lease. Get it, set it up, and forget about it.

Worked until I upgraded to a faster speed, which is why I purchased this model, so I returned it. They refunded immediately and I would’ve kept it had it worked for the upgrade.

Very nice. Just hook up and go.

Works flawlessly and as advertised. I use VDSL 25MB service with century link and it works like a charm.

The last one we got from century link only lasted one and a half year. This new one is working fine but we’ll see how long is going to last. My tech savvy husband installed it with a little help from century link help desk.

Edit: My previous comment said that the modem stopped working after 6 months. Well I called CenturyLink a third time, and they told me that it WASN’T the modem after all. As a result, I’m changing this to 5 stars, because it was apparently working just fine. However, I give CenturyLink customer service 1 star, fwiw.UPDATED (See above):I’ve owned this modem for about 6 months, and it already stopped working. I called Century Link two separate times and they told me my modem needs replaced.Even before it totally quit, it didn’t work great. I had to power cycle it about once every week or two.

When I first looked into this modem and read the reviews, it convinced me to get it. Some reviewers said it was easy to install while others said it wasn’t. It took me a week to figure it out with the help of CenturyLink. I was disappointed in the beginning that nothing wasn’t coming on but I didn’t want to send it back and was willing to work with it. I’m glad I did. Works just great and the speed it greatly improved.I would recommend this modem but be sure you get help from CenturyLink.

Good product. Accepted by Century Link as OEM. A little kinky setting up. I hadn’t done this in a while. But it’s set, warranties, and supported by CL CS. Been working just fine for a while. BTW: I would not hurt you to check your speed regularly. I’m paying for 40mips. Getting 20mips. Maybe 32 max. Ask if you’re being throttled. And why.

I purchased this Wireless Gateway as a recommended upgrade by the CenturyLink’s tech support group for an originally supplied Zyxel C1000Z Wireless Gateway that had been malfunctioning the past several months.I have had this unit online for a little over week and after initially needing support from CenturyLink’s tech support group to resolve issues with properly connect to the internet it appears to be working okay.So far its performance appeared to be similar to that of the Zyxel C1000Z Wireless Gateway via Speedtest testing of the Enhernet and WiFi modes with Enhernet speeds consistent within the rated purchased speed level, but as with the C1000Z the C1100Z the WiFi speeds were inconsistent from as low 0 to a maximum of 50% of the rated Enhernet speeds. CenturyLink’s tech support group was of no help in resolving this issue.With the recommendation of a network specialist at my local big box office supplies store I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 / R7000 Smart WiFi Router. I disabled the Zyxel C1100Z Wireless Gateway’s WiFi function, using instead the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 as the WiFi Router and I am now seeing consistent WiFi speeds of 75% to 100% of the Enhernet speeds, WOW, thanks network specialist guy.

I bought this to replace a Netgear DM200 that failed after 8 months (tech support was a joke – NO support after 30 days without paying for it which I refused to do but that’s another story). Setup of the Zyxel took 15 minutes and I immediately noted improved performance of my streaming and downloads. Wish I had started off with Zyxel instead of Netgear (never again!).

Does exactly what I need.

Great direct replacement for any CenturyLink router, if you’re tired of renting theirs. Works as advertised and easy to set up. I had no problems at all.

Working ok for now, but it’s not a new modem router. Corner looks melted and front scratched. Probably refurbished.

Great range, speeds better than advertised by the provider and easy to setup. Very happy with the product.

Easy enough to set up and replace the Zyxel unit used before this one. Does its job.

Worked for what I needed it for. The manual says do not use a dsl filter. But you still need to use a dsl filter if using a credit card machine or else you will have issues.

The zyxel modem met my expectations. Good speeds and a a very stable connection.

Century Link was able to set this up and it was cheaper than buying it through them and I avoided the rental cost. This modem works up to 40 mbps, if you want higher speeds, the installer said you would need better ‘bones.’ For our small family, this works great and meets our needs.

Works with my ISP. Has bridge mode.

not much to say; its a modern VDSL2 modem with 4 port router and B/G wifi. Before CenturyLink upgraded my building’s DSLAM, I was using an old ADSL modem from the 90s bought at Goodwill and an Apple AirPort. This did the trick, plus let me run wired to my desktop. WiFi range, even in a closet, covers my small home better than the AirPort did.You don’t need CL service to use this, but be sure your ISP uses VDSL2. Also, this modem is not appropriate for double-play or triple-play services with VoIP/TV, but works fine with plain internet and landline.
