Fiber ISPs often segment internet, IPTV, and VoIP traffic using VLAN tags. Note down the existing Internet VLAN ID from your current WAN configuration page; your new router will need this to authenticate.
Do not use the standard user credentials printed on the physical sticker of the router. Those accounts lack WAN modification privileges. You must log in using the Administrator or Superuser credentials specific to your ISP network. Common default superuser combinations include: Username: admin | Password: admin Username: telecomadmin | Password: admintelecom Username: user | Password: user Step 2: Document Existing WAN Settings zte f689 bridge mode exclusive

Open a web browser and type the default gateway IP address: 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1 ). Those accounts lack WAN modification privileges
The bridge disables the LAN IP routing. Fix: The ZTE F689’s management IP (192.168.1.1) is now on a separate network. To get back in, connect a laptop directly to LAN2 or LAN3 (which are not bridged) and manually set your laptop’s IP to 192.168.1.100 (Subnet 255.255.255.0 ). Then browse to 192.168.1.1 .
This article is the definitive, step-by-step guide to achieving this exclusive state on your ZTE F689.
When your ISP gateway acts as both a modem and a router, adding your own wireless router creates a nested network environment. Operating the ZTE F689 in its default routing mode alongside a secondary router introduces several performance bottlenecks. Enabling bridge mode grants several exclusive benefits:
