|  10W Firmware Availability
Just dusted off a 10W that I want to put back in service, and went to zyxel.com to look for the latest firmware but this model is no longer listed, even in the legacy product section. Firmware for the ZyWall 10 is available there, but far from the latest, and as I recall the 10W took different f/w from the 10.
A search turned up the latest 10W f/w on ftp.zyxeltech.de however I'm not certain what is their connection to the manufacturer, and I don't trust flashing something from an unknown source.
Many of the driver download sites just link to Zyxel, and the links are dead since Zyxel appears to have removed everything about the 10W from their site.
Anyone know of a trusted source for firmware, or suggestion ? |

| I have zips of the latest 2 versions that I had gotten from zyxel.com in Oct 2007:
ZyWALL 10W_3.62(WH.13)C0.zip
ZyWALL 10W_3.62(WH.14)C0.zip
I downloaded and compared the equivalent zips from zyxeltech.de today:
ZyWALL10W_V3.62(WH.13)C0_Standard.zip
ZyWALL10W_V3.62(WH.14)C0_Standard.zip
Though named slightly different, the zip files were identical.
Also I downloaded and compared the zips from:
»files.wallzone.net/adsl/zyxel/Zy···irmware/
Their 2 zip files were also identical. |

Dartmouth, NS | Concur, they often have firmwares available when the legitimate sites have basic issue with hosting FTP sites. In other words a godsend!!! |

So the consensus is that zyxeltech.de is legit.

Klaus is or was one of the CSO guys in ZyXEL DE, quite a nice guy, meet him a few times when I visited ZyXEL DE.
Ohh I haven't looked at his site in a long time, but he used to have some really old manuals up there documenting AT commands that nobody knew about, so it used to be a nice place to treasure hunt at least
