The Zyxel Range extender is a pretty piece of crap. I managed to get it set up through the web interface, and by means of WPS but it looses signal consitently after about 3 minutes. This was all after I had already changed the routers SSID, and WPA key. I reset the router and the Zyxel back to defaults but now the Zyxel does not connect anymore neither by WPS, or by entering the WPA key. I was thinking of senidng it back to MWeb but doubt that will solve the issues.
I wouldn't be surprise if MWeb deadhacked the firmware that's running on the Zyxel. There is already a guide out there flashing the Technicolor router with stock firmware. Shouldn't it be possible to flash the Zyxel using tftp/bootp, as well?
Back to the Wifi Extender (or repeater)! The ZyXel WRE2205 v2 is what MWEB is shipping with their “FON” Network package. I decided to return this “Extender” back to it’s default state without the FON part and this is what I have done so far: I visited the ZyXel homepage and downloaded the original and updated firmware.
It comes in.bin format and can be found here ( ). I then reset the router to it’s default values by holding the little key button on the front for 15 or so seconds – restarted the router using the switch and then logged in to it via an Ethernet cable with the username: admin and password:1234. I Tried to upgrade the router and got the message “Incorrect firmware version”. Thanks MWEB. So I called MWEB and they said “Sorry, you should be able to upgrade if you go to the manufacturers website.” So I kept insisting that MWEB has ISP locked the device and they should provide me with a way to unlock it.
(I am sure that ICASA has made it illegal to ISP lock hardware?? I have reported this to them aswell) MWEB eventually conceded that the device has been locked and no-one is permitted to unlock the device and change it’s settings. So I contacted ZyXel and they said that they are not allowed to change the ISP’s perversion of their software as they would then have an unhappy client. OK so that means there is a way! So I looked at the source code of the repeaters web interface and saw. Wait who is EDIMAX? OK, so it turns out that EDIMAX is a company that makes and sells these routers and ZyXel just kinda resells themand EDIMAX provides a tool to flash the device over the Ethernet port and not just the.bin file.

Yay EDIMAX!! You can find the tool here. And as far as I can see the EDIMAX software is the better one and should work perfectly on the device even though it is a ZyXel ( ) The Process goes as follows Make sure you can ping the device on 192.168.1.2. But in our case MWEB have stuffed this up again and you would have to use 192.168.2.2.
Connect to the devices webpage with the before mentioned username and password and then run the tool. The software finds the Device and then, like in the documentation asks for the device password (The Default should be 1234).
I entered the password and clicked the next button and it should now start flashine the unit back to default.but wait. I get a dialog box which says “Incorrect Password!!” Thanks once again MWEB.
So that is where I am up to! I also tried using winrar to unpack the files in the EDIMAX exe file and ended up with the firmware and the actual running exe files inside the EDIMAX exe. There is a small “MFC” created application that cannot be unencrypted at all . I just want to see which port and what operation it uses to put the firmware in place and then I will brute force the password for the admin account on that port and we will all be happy campers with our stock standard ZyXel WRE2205 v2 devices but this is where I am stuck. If you have a clue or even a different idea for me to try or even the password then give me a shout and I will give it a bash. Yes I have also tried all the values that I found when I backed up the device config and then exported the fields from the resulting.bin file with a small app called RouterPassView.
None of them work! And MWEB, if you are reading this then please may I have the ability to return the device back to it’s original firmware. This will stop me snooping!
