Setup Unifi on ZTE ZXHN H267A Home Gateway Single Box

First of all, connect PC LAN cable to ZTE LAN port, RJ11 phone line to ZTE DSL port. If got phone, can connect to ZTE phone 1 port.

Once everything is connected, power up the ZTE. On PC side, use dynamic IP adress, let ZTE assign the IP. When networking is up, open browser and type “192.168.1.1” to login to ZTE web config.

The default username is “tmadmin”, where the password is “Adm@xxxx” where the xxxx is the last 4 digits of ZTE MAC ID.

Since my unifi is single box, I need to select Router (SUBB) mode for the default configuration.

Next, We setup the Internet WAN first, follow by wireless network WLAN.

On the PPPoE_VD & PPPoE_AD, we need to setup the PPP with unifi username & password.

After finish WAN setup, we move to WLAN. Since the ZTE support both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz, u can select which 1 u want to turn on or both. * It depends on client device support which band

2.4Ghz is for 802.11b/g/n wireless mode
5Ghz is for 802.11a/n/ac wireless mode *Date streaming faster
Click this link to check the differences

The ZTE support 4 SSIDs for each band. In my case, I turn on both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz, thus I need to set 1 2.4Ghz SSID & 1 5Ghz SSID. For SSID name, I put different name so that I know which band I connected to, and the password we can put same for both band.

That’s all, above is the basic steps to setup up internet & wireless for unifi broadband on ZTE home gateway.

    So i got this modem at home and i unsatisfied with it. First of all the DSL/WAN and Internet led light is usually not light on which means there is no wide area network and internet connection i guess… Second,i want to ask is this model is already came with router or does it need router to get internet connection. THANK YOU

      This model built in wireless router+modem. If u experience DSL/WAN connection error or no connection, u might need to check your phone line…

    i did put the last 4 mac id but it didnt work,, any other suggestion??

      Your ZTE is supplied by TM? If TM they will preset the username to tmadmin/tmuser…Perhaps your router has been changed to other password…

      What u can do is trying the below link for ZTE default logins…
      http://setuprouter.com/router/zte/passwords.htm

      If you still can not get logged in then you are probably going to have to reset your router to its default settings…

          Login router, there is factory reset under Management & Diagnosis, System Management, Factory Reset Management.

        • Huzzir Reply

          Or alternatively, there’s a pin hole Reset next to the power input jack… while it’s switched off just stick a paper clip in it with low pressure while turning the power on… wait for a while (10secs if I m not mistaken), till the front-face lights on the modem blinked (or something like that, cant remember it anymore if u want to be sure just check the ZTE online site or just type factory reset ZTE H267A on google)… wait for few more secs then try to log into at 192.168.1.1 with tmadmin/Adm@xxxx (login/password – case sensitive, and xxxx is the last 4 digits of your MAC address normally can be found on a sticker label at the back of your modem) and VIOLA! done…. hope this help…

    hi bro, how to set dns on ZXHN H267A router.
    i tried to change but it still show the unifi dns

    • didi2005 Post authorReply

      U can set DNS on both router & client PC

      Router
      Go to Local Network –> DNS

      Client PC
      Go to Network & Sharing –> Wireless/Local Area Connection –> Properties –> IPv4 –> Properties

    • didi2005 Post authorReply

      Under router, Internet –> DSL link information, Actual Rate(Up/Down) is the speed your line capable.
      U can also run internet speed test via http://www.speedtest.net/ to check the actual download/upload rate.

    Hi man…

    I got this model in my organization. My question is how do I configure it as direct PPPOE to my fortinet? Like other fiber modem, direct PPPOE to my firewall. The firewall will then have the public IP address for us to use for external access.

      • TIM Reply

        Tried that before but it’s not work. It wont dial up via my firewall. I have been configured several time between Unifi device & multiple brand of firewall, it’s working fine, but that time all come with modem & router. Only the recent ZTE model single box released by TM is not working. Do you have any idea what should I do in the recent ZTE H276A? What services scenarios should select?

    Hi Anthony,

      Hi Sam,

      LAN suppose to work out of the box without any setup, unlike wifi need setup ssid & password…
      If cannot connect to modem using LAN or Wifi, u cannot check the modem settings…

      Anyhow, u can try connect LAN cable from your PC to the modem, see from the modem LAN port got green light or not, following by checking your pc networking status, check the IP address, subnet mask & gateway.
      By default, once connected PC via LAN, u will get following:

      IP address: 192.168.1.xxx
      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
      Gateway: 192.168.1.1

      Then, u can check your dns setting, by default is 192.168.1.1 using modem dns, u can try change to google dns 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4. Some configuration require to key in dns in order to access internet.

      Once LAN is working, then only u can proceed to check the wifi status…

    • didi2005 Post authorReply

      When subscribe unifi, u will be provided the unifi username & password…During installation, u can get from the technician…
      On the router modem, once login, go to Internet–>WAN–>DSL–>PPPoE, u can see your username under PPP.

      Of course, nowadays third party tv box much better, can watch anythings, just connect it to your unifi network.

        • didi2005 Post authorReply

          The unifitv/hypptv changed to play tv. U can refer to unifi website. If your unifi plan comes with set top box, u can watch directly. If no set top box, u need to install play tv apps on your tablet/phone/tvbox in order to watch..

    All latest modems/routers provided by Unifi have @unifi suffix on the Wireless SSID, luckily it can be removed with Postman & interceptor method…..and the DNS is hardcoded, i changed them to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 but it still shows as 202.188.18.188 & 1.9.1.9 on summary info page, anyone know how to change it?

      Whenever there is internet problem, I will check the following:

      1. Phone line, able to call in/out or not? DSL connected on router? Bypass splitter?

      2. If internet connected but often connection loss I will check the router DSL link information. Below is my info attached for your reference.

      Link Status Up
      Modulation Type VDSL2

          If changed to bridge mode, u need to connect the router using network cable, type “192.168.1.1” under browser url to access the router modem login page. U might need to disconnect current network, connected directly pc to router using network cable if not able to access. Once u able to login, the first page will direct u to Default Configuration Change.

      The 10Mbps unifi lite is using copper phone line connection not fiber right?
      U can refer to my previous post on how to check the streamyx line.

      If really line issue, u need to contact Telekom to send technician for troubleshooting.

      Of course, the very first thing u can do is bypass the splitter, see is there any improvement.

    Thanks for reply Anthony, go thru with ur post again. Found out that the technician didn’t help me set up PPPoe_AD (username was empty), could it possible be the reason that cause my connection always disconnect and reconnect itself randomly? Not sure, still testing. Yes my unifi lite 10mbps is using copper and not using any splitter.

      Copper line is very old technology which may not be so stable compared to fiber…

    Hi Anthony,

    Is a newly setup sharp android TV with built-in Chromecast. Below is reply from google team regarding to router setting. May I know is ZTE running DNS software? Is yes, how to enable google public IP addresses?
    For IGMP, I am not sure whether need to enable both IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy.

    Android TV and Chromecast do have different specs in terms of connectivity. But if all settings on your Router is aligned to whatever Chromecast requires, then there shouldn’t be an issue for you setting up your Chromecast Built-in TV. Below are the settings you might want to check on your router. Hope this helps:

    AP Isolation Mode – disabled
    VPN – Disabled
    Multicast, UPnP and IGMP – Enabled
    If your router is running DNS software, be sure to enable the following public Google DNS IP addresses: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

    • Anthony Post authorReply

      Hi Will

      The ZTE DNS settings is Local Network –> DNS. By default it will use ISP address, of course u can change to google address.
      U need to make sure your android TV is connected to the network.
      Under Home page u will see WLAN devices, your TV should appear, if cannot see, u may need to check your TV network settings…
