Featuring a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for future-proof fiber integration, four versatile LAN ports, and built-in DLNA media sharing, it supports multiple DSL profiles with automatic fallback to ADSL2+. While setup requires some technical know-how, it delivers stable, high-performance connectivity ideal for demanding home or small office networks. ## Description The Zhone 6712-W1 is a versatile Broadband gateway for service provider that is seeking a single hardware that can support ultra-high bandwidth application. VDSL2 technology providing up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream (profile 17a) can be used to provide video/data services or triple-play services. ISP can use the same gateway for FTTx deployment by using the Gigabit Ethernet WAN to a GPON device. Inside the home, the 6712-W1 plays a central role in interconnecting all networking devices such as PCs, and game consoles to the Internet. The built-in DLNA server makes sharing digital multimedia files and USB printer via the USB ports. This modem from ZHONE is capable of (if your ISP provider has the service) 100Mbps upload and download - the fastest available at this point for VDSL. Your ISP and the package you purchase will determine the actual bandwidth speed. 1) Plug in the phone cable from your ISP to the ZHONE and the Ethernet cable from the modem to your computer into appropriate jacks. Plug in the power and let the ZHONE power up (power button on the left needs to be pushed in). Do a full reset (just to clear any settings and to make sure factory defaults are set) by pushing the reset button on back. 2) First see if you can get into the ZHONE login menu using the IP address of the modem: 192.168.1.1. If not, then you need to temporarily change the network adapter settings in your computer (which are usually set to `Obtain an IP address automatically'). Note, this is for Win7 but will be similar to other OS versions. Do this by: a) Start Button b) Control Panel c) Network and Internet d) Network and Sharing Center e) Change adapter settings f) Right click on `Local Area Connection' and choose `Properties' g) Click on `Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' h) Click on `Properties' then on `Use the following IP address' i) Add an IP number: 192.168.1.X (you can use any number for `X' from 2 - 250, 1 is for the modem here) j) Click `OK' and `Close' to save changes. * Remember: this is temporary, change the settings back to `Obtain an IP address automatically' after the router is fully setup and you have a link to the internet. This is done by the same above: a) through h) and choose `Obtain an IP address automatically'. 3) Now open a browser and type in 192.168.1.1 to get into the setup menu of the ZHONE 4) Type in the username and password of your ZHONE Modem: Username: admin Password: admin###### (###### is the last 6 numbers of your modems serial number. 5) Click on `Quick Setup' on the left menu 6) Unclick `Automatic Configuration' if it's already clicked. 7) On `ATM PVC Configuration', add the following values: VPI = 0 VCI = 32 8) Leave other configurations modes at default: `Encapsulation Mode': LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING `WAN Service Configuration': PPPoE 9) In the boxes for `PPP Configuration' you need to get your PPP Username and PPP Password from your IPS provider (just give them a call and they'll give it to you). 10) Leave `Use Static IP Address' unchecked. 11) Click the `Apply/Save' box.12) Your Power Light and DSL Light should be on. Now you'll need to go to the `Advance Setup' section. 13) Click on `Advanced Setup' on left menu. 14) Click on `WAN Service' on the sub menu that pops up. 15) The `Wide Area Network (WAN) Service Setup' will come up. 16) Click on `Add'. 17) The `WAN Service Interface Configuration' will pop up: Leave the default chosen in the box, which is: `atm0/(0_0_32)'. 18) Click `Next' and `WAN Service Configuration' pops up. 19) Leave/confirm defaults: `Select WAN service type:' is PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) `Enter Service Description' is pppoe_0_0_32 `Network Protocol Selection': is IPV4 Only 20) Click `Next'. 21) Again, add your PPP Username and PPP Password you received from your IPS provider (it may already be in the boxes from adding it before). 22) Leave all other areas at default and click `Next'. 23) You'll have two boxes show up (Selected Default Gateway Interfaces and Available Routed WAN Interfaces). Click on the `ppp0' on the right box (Available Routed WAN Interfaces) and move it to the left by clicking on the arrow facing that way. You should see it move into the left box (Selected Default Gateway Interfaces) and the right box will be empty. 24) Click `Next' and do the same on this page (move the ppp0 from the right to the left). 25) Click `Next' and the `WAN Setup - Summary' will show up. 26) Click on `Apply/Save' 27) This will bring you to the first page on # 14: The `Wide Area Network (WAN) Service Setup' will come up. 28) You'll have two setups, the first one on top and the one you just set up under it. On the first one (top) click on the `Remove' square then click on the `Remove' choice. 29) You're done with this part. Your `Internet Light' should now be on. * Now go to back to #2 above to change the settings back to `Obtain an IP address automatically' after the router is fully setup and you have a link to the internet. This is done by the same above: a) through h) and choose `Obtain an IP address automatically'. You're all set to go, the ZHONE will be connected to your ISP. Hopefully this helps! Review: Excellent VDSL modem not plug and play - I switched my DSL service from ADSL2+ to VDSL2 with my local ISP. I did not want to rent a modem from my ISP so I decided to get this Zhone 6712-W1 VDSL modem and gave it a try. I considered myself a tech guy but this Zhone modem is certainly not a plug and play like most modems. Like other reviewers have said, the main thing is to configure the WAN service. It took me a few hours to figure it out and I needed to get some information from my ISP such as whether the interface as ptm or atm etc. Other reviewers have covered the instructions in detail. One thing I want to add is that during initial setup when you connect your computer directly to the modem, I found that connecting to the WAN port would cause config saving (thru 192.168.1.1) to hang. I connected my computer to the one of the LAN ports instead and the config changes saved quickly and flawlessly. There are not many choices for VDSL modems out there. This is certainly one of the best out there. Not exactly easy to configure but it's very stable and never run hot. Review: Dead after TWO MONTH of work! - It worked great ... 2 months! The whole family in one terrible day just stayed without Internet! Students could not learn, my wife almost lost her job because worked from home that day!. TWO MONTHS only! Are you kidding? My advise, if you're going to buy this product and you strongly depend on the NET- buy couple at once. It can put you in big troubles. Save your money and health, just don't. ## Features - VDSL2 with profiles 8a/b/c/d, 12 a/b, 17a or ADSL2+ - Supports falls back to ADSL2+ if VDSL2 training fails - G.INP and G.Vector - Integrated Gig-E Ethernet port for WAN uplink for GPON development - USB 2.0 host for DLNA (file and printer sharing) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B47HC86 | | Best Sellers Rank | #238,575 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #4,252 in Computer Routers | | Brand | Zhone | | Built-In Media | Gateway | | Color | Multicolor | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Protocol | Ethernet | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 12 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753353035976 | | Included Components | Gateway | | Item Type Name | Zhone 6712-W1 - Gateway - 4 ports - 10Mb LAN, 100Mb LAN, GigE (6712-W1-NA) | | Item Weight | 0.86 Kilograms | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) | | Manufacturer | Zhone | | Mfr Part Number | 6712-W1-NA | | Model Name | 6712-W1-NA 20512540 | | Model Number | 6712-W1-NA | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Operating System | PC | | Other Special Features of the Product | WPS | | Special Feature | WPS | | UPC | 872182841258 804067424102 132017871264 753353035976 163121434113 808113036370 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zhone - **Special Feature:** WPS - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Included Components:** Gateway - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 0.86 Kilograms - **Operating System:** PC - **Number of Ports:** 4 - **Control Method:** Touch - **Data Transfer Rate:** 100 Megabits Per Second ## Images ![Zhone 6712-W1 - Gateway - 4 Ports - 10Mb LAN, 100Mb LAN, GigE (6712-W1-NA) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8173WFmAukL.jpg) ![Zhone 6712-W1 - Gateway - 4 Ports - 10Mb LAN, 100Mb LAN, GigE (6712-W1-NA) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QKkg+qk8L.jpg) ![Zhone 6712-W1 - Gateway - 4 Ports - 10Mb LAN, 100Mb LAN, GigE (6712-W1-NA) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31P8Rd+fP6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent VDSL modem not plug and play *by E***O on November 27, 2015* I switched my DSL service from ADSL2+ to VDSL2 with my local ISP.

The whole family in one terrible day just stayed without Internet! Students could not learn, my wife almost lost her job because worked from home that day!. TWO MONTHS only! Are you kidding? My advise, if you're going to buy this product and you strongly depend on the NET- buy couple at once. It can put you in big troubles. Save your money and health, just don't. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be taking over the internet but VDSL providers may be blocking its use in some places. *by B***. on April 15, 2015* I liked it a lot, it would not work with Century link and that was a sad day because their usual lollypop interface for geldings and non geeks was so simple it almost made me dislike being a geek. I am sure the zhone would work with AT&T but they will not allow me to change my modem. Oh damned anti capitalists be gone. Anyway I just did not have the heart to send it back so it sits opened in my closet waiting for the right moment to strike and take over the internet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9107236-zhone-6712-w1-gateway-4-ports-10mb-lan-100mb-lan](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9107236-zhone-6712-w1-gateway-4-ports-10mb-lan-100mb-lan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
