@Zyxel_Melen Thanks for reply. The Zyxel datasheet does not reveal generation dates, just side-by-side comparison between: USG5 FLEX100, USG FLEX100AX, and USG FLEX100W Zyxel website indeed has USG100W on sale. Your response explains why it's not readily available, except through your website. Many of us don't always have…

Thanks @Zyxel_Judy for fast response! I appreciate the assistance, and is a big help for my purchase!

@Zyxel_Judy I sent back the Zyxel USG Router ordered, it was not only the wrong unit, but it used and sold as new! I'm curious what is the main difference between ZYXEL USGFLEX100AX and the USG FLEX 50AX? Does USGFLEX100AX have a faster throughput? Want to verify if "No UTM license requirement to run USG FLEX 100AX as an…

@Zyxel_Judy Thank you for clarification! I went ahead and ordered a USG20W-VPN, and vendor shipped a USG20-VPN which did not please me at all. I can use USG20-VPN since I'm going to deploy APs for WiFi, hopefully I will see a partial credit. I didn't wnt to order the AX until I knew the answers you provided. Thanks again!

Thank you @electsystech and @Zyxel_Judy! I reviewed the website, and vendor specifications. I have some questions or clarifications listed below: Please verify, to use SPI firewall, does it require "UTM Security Pack license" unlike USG FLEX 50W? Number of users is limited to 10. Hopefully this is applies to VPN users…

@Zyxel_Melen I will PM you next week, after local business hours when I set this up in the office. I need to switch back to 5.39(arb.1) partition, and will change IP address back to address that was attacked so existing BOTNET does not communicate over new Public IP. After you view BOTNET malicious traffic, I plan to…

@Zyxel_Melen Just to clarify, are you asking for remote access? I don’t want to switch to 5.39(arb.1) partition due to all the malicious traffic that caused us huge issues, including having ISP change Public IP address due to the continuous attack on previous IP address. I could take router offline and move to my LAN as…

@valerio_vanni Thanks for clarification on Port 443. I also discovered today a Factory RESET only purges Active firmware partition. I updated 5.38 Partition to 5.39(arb.1) and when I rebooted to the new firmware, I witnessed the same malicious traffic, so I aborted and switched back to 5.39(arb.0) until I can Factory RESET…

@Zyxel_Melen Thanks for information.! However I have images of unknown traffic being sent out as VPN Traffic after attempting Factory RESET 25 seconds, and rebuilding configuration: Unknow VPN Traffic Example of TX Data before OFFICE Opened Unknown traffic has disappeared after 35 Second Factory Reset. Is it possible…

@smb_corp_user Thanks for your comments! I hope someone benefits from my loss of many hours rebuilding twice, to eliminate the hidden VPN BOT, installed by hacker.

@Zyxel_Melen Thank you, I will look for it. Once I connect with RDp after reboot, I can stay connected but the traffic is so overwhelming, I have to run over the office and reboot both the router and modem, to return Internet access (last between 1.5 and 3 hours). I appreciate the assistance! It’s like factory reset didn’t…

@Zyxel_Melen Thanks for the question. I took the router completely offline and updated offsite in my home office with no Internet. I uploaded 5.39 and performed factory reset (reset button about 15 seconds or longer took a while). While keeping WAN unconnected I changed my password, and started rebuilding configuration…

@Zyxel_Jeff I notice My personal USG20W-VPN did not have "Wiz_HTTP_Not_Restrict_0" in "Policy Control" after upgrading to USG FLEX 50W firmware last year (as found in new unit I'm setting up). I also have been receiving notice: "Warning: You have a rule that allows anyone from the Internet to access the web mgmt. interface…

II called Tech Support, and the answer was to Disable: "Wiz_HTTP_Not_Restrict_0" to Prevent WAN Access in Configuration>Security Policy> Policy Control: Another issue I was having is inability to login into Web Configurator from a Windows 10 machine. I will post result of that finding under a different subject, because…

@Zyxel_Stanley Well that really simplifies things, if I can jump directly from 4.25 to 5.35! I always backup confirigurations to a PC before flashing. This is a huge time saver! »You can backup confoguration to your PC first, and apply configuration again after Firewall upgrading firmware completely.« I assume once I…
