    @annm We have two ATP devices. The portal was slow but accessible on one. The other would show the login page but not connect at all. Anyway, based on what had been said, we disconnected the WAN and restarted the devices. That made the portal accessible. However, in both cases, the process wasn't as simple as uploading the firmware.

    The first ATP prematurely showed a "Leave this page" prompt. Thinking it was done, even though it only took 30 seconds or so, I clicked on it. Naturally the firmware wasn't uploaded. Just make sure to let it sit for a couple minutes. This might be mitigated by clicking "Yes" to reboot after application. I always click "No" to verify that it was uploaded.

    For the second one, I had to reboot the device again after disconnecting the WAN and rebooting. Not sure why but it wouldn't accept the firmware otherwise. It did after that.

    All of these require physical access. Don't know if there are other solutions that may work for you. Good luck!

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, both of our zyxels were affected by the attack (flex200, usg110). We have done the update. My question is, could the config be accessed during the attack?
    (lastgood, startup configs became fresh during the attack.)
    They could change the configuration on it, it is recommended that I change the passwords,
    or recommended other actions? Thanks for the help and answer

    So far we've been able to get into the router after a restart and then run the firmware update. It's best practise to keep download a copy of the startup-config file for a backup.

    Hello @GruppoEmiliani
    If web/console is unavailable, please reboot the device to stabilize it first and be able to access it, then upgrade to 5.36Patch2.

    Hello @GiuseppeR
    I suggest you backup the configure first before upgrading to 5.36Patch2

    Hello @Pnagy
    The device would be safe after upgrading to 5.36Patch2, there is no further operation needed.

    Sorry does this mean that there was a error by Zyxel that meant new firmware was pushed to the Zywalls when it shouldn't have been? I thought these issues were due to some kind of DOS attack dueto vulnarabilites?

    @GrahamWebb It's not related to attack/vulnerability issue, it's caused by our incident operations. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
