Question about Zyxel PM7300, VLAN 10
Can this device be operated on a standard Swisscom fibre optic connection (instead of a Swisscom WLAN router box) so that I can connect my own router?

Yes, the Zyxel PM7300 device can be operated on a standard Swisscom fibre optic connection instead of the Swisscom WLAN router. There are a few important points to note here:
- Certification: The Zyxel PM7300 is Swisscom certified, which enables problem-free use.
- Configuration: It must be configured in bridge mode in order to function purely as a modem. You can then connect your own router behind the Zyxel PM7300.
- VLAN and PPPoE: Ensure that the correct VLAN settings (depending on the supplier, e.g. VLAN 10 or VLAN 11) and PPPoE configurations are made. For example, Swisscom may require DHCP option 60 with the value 100008,0001.
- Security: Note that the bridge mode is operated without a firewall, which is not recommended for security reasons. It is advisable to configure your own router with appropriate security settings.
By following these steps, you can successfully use the Zyxel PM7300 on your Swisscom fibre optic connection and connect your own router.

What needs to be done at Swisscom? I have read that you have to register the device, even if you run it in bridge mode. Are there instructions for this? I would like to avoid having to spend several days discussing this with the Swisscom hotline.
