Review: Centurylink ZyXEL C3000Z DSL Modem/Router works wonderfully with Centurylink - The Centurylink ZyXEL C3000Z DSL modem/router works wonderfully with Centurylink. Super easy to set up. It has all the features I need and more. My only gripe is that reserving IP/MAC addresses takes longer than usual for DSL modems. 2018-10-05 UPDATE: Everything was working fine until today, then I noticed really outlandish ping numbers (up to 2 full seconds for a ping). I called CenturyLink and went through all all the troubleshooting that entails with the end result resetting the C3000Z back to factory defaults. The tech had me go to connect.centrylink.com to finish setting up the mode/router. This was new, I never had to do that before. After doing the online setup, the router was ready to use and the ping times were excellent. But I had a LAN network that was 192.168.123, not the default 192.168.0. As soon as I made the address change, the ping times went back up to 900 ms. I went back to factory defaults and did the connect.centrylink.com setup again. Each time the C3000Z worked great until I changed something in the device. This was never the case before. CenturyLink, it appears, has decided all the CenturyLink branded modem/routers belong to them and they can program them however they wish and the user can't do anything without risking terrible internet speeds. MY ADVICE TO ALL CENTURYLINK CUSTOMERS: Do not buy or use any CenturyLink branded modem/routers. Maybe this is a result of the net neutrality law being abolished by the Trump Administration? Review: replacement for a C1100Z, works good so far - After chatting with Centurylink, (phone tree would not connect me to tech support or a person) and trying to get a replacement for my Zytel C1100Z Centurylink modem/router, I decided to purchase my own. desertcart delivered the package on time. The C1100Z (my old router) had the telephone and the DSL through the router. This C3000Z only has a DSL port so if you use your telephone is on the same line as the DSL, you will need a DSL/telephone splitter. not a telephone filter. This router has WI-FI two modes, one is standard 2.4G and one is 5G. I was not sure of the difference, so I checked the CenturyLink website. They state that 2.4 G and is slower but goes through walls better and a longer distance for wireless, 5G is faster but the distance is less. Summary, So far, this is a good modem/router. One final note: Lighning hit the C1100Z and I had a internet cable connected to my new TV from the modem/router. The lightning fried the modem/router and ran to the TV and blew it. The TV actually popped so if you have anything connected to any modem/router via a Rj45 cable, unplug it during a storm. ## Features - CenuryLink C3000Z - ZyXEL C3000Z Modem - CenturyLink XYTEL 802.11n and 802.11ac Wi-Fi- Router - CenturyLink Router - UMEC UP0251M-12PA AC Adapter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07954WDPL | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,912 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #29 in Computer Networking Modems | | Brand | ZYXEL | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Router | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 992 Reviews | | Internet Service Provider | centurylink | | Internet service provider | centurylink | | Manufacturer | ZYXEL | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 10 Megabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | c3000z | | Model Number | c3000z | | Modem Type | DSL | | Number of Ethernet Ports | 8 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | UPC | 819555012686 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZYXEL - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Router - **Connectivity Technology:** Wi-Fi - **Internet service provider:** centurylink ## Images ![ZyXEL C3000Z Modem CenturyLink - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jgc54sueL.jpg) ![ZyXEL C3000Z Modem CenturyLink - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QP1Gz0lYL.jpg) ![ZyXEL C3000Z Modem CenturyLink - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YKTY0bxDL.jpg) ![ZyXEL C3000Z Modem CenturyLink - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7124kgx7YrL.jpg) ![ZyXEL C3000Z Modem CenturyLink - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kqNJ5q9OL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this support bridge mode so you can use your own router?** A: Yes, I have Centutylink with a bonded connection and run Netgear for my router **Q: Can this modem handle 1gb from Century Link?** A: For information for all: This is indeed a MODEM. It has a setup standard which is called PPPoE. All Centurylink DSL modems offer PPPoE input. A lot of routers offer PPPoE to people who wish to use only a router as their modem which is a bad idea. Modem/router combinations are more effective for this. I am a CenturyLink technician and can confirm this is a modem/router (gateway) combo. It works for VDSL/ADSL single pair and pair bonded (2 pairs) service. It also is capable of gigabit connection speeds when hard-wired from the modem to the computer ethernet port. Wireless speeds are not guaranteed. Wifi will not provide gigabit throughput capability. When fiber is ran, they run the cat5/6 from the ethernet port on the Optical Network Terminal to the WAN port on these modems. They are technicolor, which means they support anywhere from 100mbps+ to Gigabit service. They will work for gig service and fiber solutions. **Q: How is this different/better than the C1100Z?** A: I think the main difference is that the C3000Z's wireless is 5G compatible. **Q: Will this unit work with our centurylink adsl service?** A: According to their website, it is compatible with ADSL. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Centurylink ZyXEL C3000Z DSL Modem/Router works wonderfully with Centurylink *by M***S on March 10, 2018* The Centurylink ZyXEL C3000Z DSL modem/router works wonderfully with Centurylink.
