Configure the zyxel keenetic lite 3 modem. The default password for the new generation Zyxel Keenetic router

Internet Center Zyxel Keenetic Lite is the basic device for home use. A router with good parameters and a nice price has become a favorite of many users, because it contains everything you need for a stable Internet connection. This model was finalized and improved by the developer, as a result of which next versions- Zyxel keenetic Lite ii and Zyxel keenetic Lite iii.

Internet setup on different models is no different

Let's find out how the three models of routers differ from each other, how the Zyxel Keenetic Lite router is configured and the firmware is replaced.

We will start the review of routers with the first Zyxel Keenetic Lite model - the router has an attractive appearance, embodied in a snow-white case, a combination of matte and glossy surfaces and a proprietary relief of the material, by which this brand is recognized.

In most cases, Zyxel Keenetic Lite and its older brothers are equipped with external antennas, providing a strong signal and a large Wi-Fi coverage area for the entire apartment and even a small office.

But the Zyxel Keenetic Lite 2 and Zyxel keenetic Lite 3 models are different appearance- they are made in black, and unlike the first version, they are equipped with two antennas, which increases the coverage area of ​​the Wi-Fi connection.

What is the difference between the Zyxel Keenetic Lite 3 router and previous versions? In it, the antennas are moved to the side parts of the case, and a router operating mode switch is provided at the back - it is difficult to judge its practicality, it all depends on how a particular person uses it.

All three devices have indicator lights, five connectors, four of which are LAN format and one WAN type for connecting a network cable. The internal content of the models is slightly different - the first version has a smaller volume random access memory and a maximum speed of 150 Mbps, while in versions 2 and 3 these figures are twice as high.

What to say about speed? As with the number of 150 and 300 Mbps, these parameters are more than enough for home use or installing a router in a small office. Zyxel Keenetic Lite 3 and other routers will cope well with connecting several devices at the same time, reviews indicate that they do not “cut” the speed, there are no interruptions or malfunctions in the connection.

Considering the fact that users often install the Internet up to 100 Mbps, the initial data is enough for the comfortable use of these devices. Otherwise, the routers are almost identical - the first version has a slightly weaker filling, the next two are the same, except that the Lite III has a changed chip revision, which, by the way, is quite good in these devices.

The process of setting up a connection, changing the firmware is common for all three models, as before, it is quite simple for any, even the most unenlightened user, as you can see in a further review.

Internet setup on Zyxel Keenetic Lite I, II, III

ZyXEL has released a new router, which is equipped with improved antennas, thanks to them, now the coverage radius of the router has become even larger. This article reflects in detail all the questions on the "ZyXEL Keenetic Lite III" and describes a guide on how to connect and configure Wi-Fi on your own.

PC connection procedure

There are the following steps for connecting the Kinetic router:

Router Setup Procedure

You need to log in to the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite III router. Take the following steps in sequence:

Setting up a WAN connection

It often happens that immediately after the procedure for connecting the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite III router to the PC, access to global network. So the provider Dynamic connection. In this case, you only need to configure the Wi-Fi settings.

Otherwise, you will need to enter the connection type settings. You can do this using the icon in the system tray with the image of the globe.

The "Internet" window will open, where you need to click on the "PPPoE / VPN" tab and then click on the key "Add Connection".

Connection procedure via PPPoE

This type of connection to the global network is one of the most common used by: Ukrtelecom, Rostelecom, Megaline and Dom.ru. It is required to follow the following algorithm of actions:

1. In the column "Type" enter PPPoE;
2. Broadband connection (ISP);
3. Specify in line "Configuring IP Settings" – "Automatic";

Connection procedure via PPTP

This type of connection to the global network is also one of the most common used: UfaNet and Aist Tolyatti. It differs in the use of a VPN server. It is required to follow the following algorithm of actions:

1. In the column "Type" enter PPTP;
2. Next, specify connect via Broadband connection (ISP);
3. Rewrite from the contract and print in the line "Server Address";
4. Then enter the login and code specified in the contract with the Internet provider;
5. Specify in line "Configuring IP Settings" – "Automatic";
6. In line "Authentication Method" specify "Auto";
7. Click on the "Apply" button.

Connection procedure via L2TP

The procedure is the same as for PPTP. Internet providers are used: Beeline and Kyivstar.

Procedure for setting up a wireless connection on ZyXEL Keenetic Lite III

After completing the connection procedures, you should start setting up Wi-Fi. You must enter a login and set the code to WiFi. Through the icon WiFi network» on the taskbar, open the access point settings window.

The universal and most economical version of the router for working with wired networks and distributing Wi Fi networks in the Kinetic family is the Zyxel Keenetic Lite iii. This device has a standard configuration (detachable antenna, 5 LAN ports and one WAN, diode information panel) and software. It can be easily configured even on your own, for which this step-by-step instruction was developed.

First things first, we need to connect the router and make some settings. network connection in PC. To prepare the device for operation, do the following:

• Carefully unpack the Zyxel Keenetic Lite, take out all the components and find the antenna among them;
• On the back of the router, find the hole into which you will then plug the repeater;
• After installing the antenna, remove the power supply, insert the plug into the corresponding slot also on the rear panel and turn on the device;
• The connector highlighted in color is for the incoming channel (WAN port). We insert a cable from the Internet provider into it;
• In one of the ports located nearby, we insert the cord connecting the Zyxel Keenetic Lite router and network card your PC (included, short as standard);
• Set the extreme mode switch to the "Main" position;
• We press the power button and observe the indicator panel: approximately, after 15-20 seconds, the beacons of the connected Internet line, 1 user, and in some cases Wi-Fi should light up.

Now our router is ready to go. It is also necessary to prepare a computer:

• Turn on the PC and make sure that it sees the connected network (the indicator in the lower right corner will display the connection status);
• Right-click on this icon to open the Control Center, then look for the blue name of the network in it (opposite the word "Connections").
• Click on it and then on the Properties button;
• You will see another window with a list and the ability to scroll: scroll it to the very end;
• Having selected the fourth version of the Internet protocol, by clicking on the properties button, we call up a new window;
• Set selectors to automatically receive all parameters;
• Repeat the same for the sixth version of the protocol.

Once the manipulations described above are completed, you can move on.

Having opened any of the installed Internet browsers (browsers), enter the following address in the address bar, which allows you to access software devices - 192.168.1.1

Open a browser, enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar

After that, we need to do a number of operations:

• Enter the "admin" key in both authorization fields and click OK;
• In the welcome window that opens, select the web configurator;
• In response to the offer, we recommend that you immediately change the password (this is the access key to the device itself, and not Wi Fi or IPTV). Immediately after that, the router will reboot, and you will have to log in again with the same “admin” login and a new password;
• Now you have the main web interface Zyxel router Keenetic iii, pay attention to the menu (icons) below. In order to set up the Internet for Beeline, Rostelecom and any other, we need the same second tab on the left in the form of a global network icon - Internet;
• To configure all the main types of wired connection, go to the PPoE/VPN tab (top menu).

Now let's look at the settings for each type separately.

Dom.ru and Rostelecom | PPPoE

For PPoE: This standard is used by such providers as Dom.ru, Rostelecom.

• Click on the button below the interface table and add a connection.
• In the table that opens, first of all, we indicate the type of interest to us - PPPoE;
• In the fields below, we indicate the data for authorization from the provider (login and password) specified in the contract. If there is no password in the documents, call the customer support service and they will provide it to you.
• We check that in the first two selectors (at the beginning of the page) the checkboxes "Enable" and "Use" are checked;
• We apply the settings, check the availability of the Internet.

VPN

For PPTP: A fairly popular protocol that uses VPN servers.

• Adding a new connection;
• Set the protocol type;
• If you have previously created a separate interface, indicate in the corresponding line that Zyxel Keenetic Lite iii should use it, and not the standard "Broad Connection ...";
• As in the previous case, enter the authorization data;
• We exhibit automatic tuning IP parameters.
• The remaining fields, such as the protection method and service names, are changed only at the request of the provider (if indicated in the instructions);
• We save the settings, check the performance of the connection;

Beeline | L2TP

For L2TP: A new and promising type on which Beeline networks operate. The setting is practically the same as PPTP.

• Click to create a new connection;
• Choose a protocol like L2TP;
• We leave the standard interface;
• We find the VPN address in the contract, which we then indicate in the corresponding field of the server address;
• Personal authorization data from the contract;
• IP should be configured automatically;
• We choose a protection method based on the data in the instructions from the provider (or call the customer support service);
• We do not touch the remaining fields, apply the settings;
• We check the availability of the Internet from Beeline;

If the connection did not appear or the router was already configured before, because of which you could not establish a connection, you can reset the Zyxel Keenetic Lite iii settings to the factory settings and try again. The easiest way to do this is to find the inscription Reset on the back panel, above which there is a button recessed into the case. To press it, take a pen or something else with a thin rod. Hold down this button for 10-15 seconds. The router will reboot and start up again with the original settings.

WiFi setup

Wi Fi communication is a type of radio waves through which Internet data packets are transmitted towards the user and the router. To set up a new wifi channel, you need to open the web configurator again: enter the ip address of the device in the address bar, go through authorization with a new password, find the “Wi Fi” item in the lower menu, click on it.

The window that opens contains a pool of wireless connection settings that is the same for any provider, be it Beeline, MTS or Rostelecom:

• Network name - we write with a lowercase letter (some devices do not perceive capital names well) the name for your access point. You will see it on your computer and smartphone by opening the list of available Wi Fi connections;
• The network key indicates the field for entering the connection password. Write in it a combination of letters and numbers that will be remembered well and will not allow outsiders to connect to your WiFi router.
• As a way to protect data, we install the most effective WPA2-PSK encryption protocol today, which will protect information from theft (Rostelecom does not encrypt incoming and outgoing Wi Fi traffic on its own);
• Channel selection can be provided to the router by leaving the value "Auto" in the corresponding field, or you can set it yourself. It is worth doing this only when there are too many networks operating in 1 channel around (in this case, your connection speed will be low, check first);
• We do not touch the rest of the fields.

We apply the changes. This completes the Wi Fi setup for Zyxel Keenetic Lite.

P.S. Many branded routers, including devices from Rostelecom, have a pre-configured wireless connection, the details of which (name and password) are indicated on the bottom panel (bottom). But after resetting the data, these settings will be lost.

Setting up IPTV

To view IPTV from Beeline or Rostelecom, you need to perform a few simple manipulations:

• We enter the web interface of the router, then go to the Internet tab of the lower menu;
• Select the Connection tab in the top menu and click on the previously configured Broadcom Connection;
• We put a tick in the selector of one of the additional slots, in addition to WLAN (in the first line);
• Apply the changes and insert the cable for IPTV into the selected slot.

These settings can be made as wired connection as well as via WiFi. Per additional information you should refer to the papers supplied by the provider, especially if you have Rostelecom. And on this, the complex configuration of the Zyxel Keenetic Lite router is over! All other functions, including RDP, will become available without additional manipulations.

One of the most famous manufacturers of communication equipment has pleased its fans and consumers with a new generation 4g router. This advanced development is based on the new NDMS V2 platform and is called zyxel keenetic. Before moving on to a discussion of specific issues regarding, for example, setting and resetting the default password for zyxel keenetic, we will characterize new system generally. To begin with, we will give the main technical parameters of the router, so that it is clear what we are talking about in principle:

• The operation of the entire filling of the device is controlled by a Mediatek RT6586 processor with a frequency of 700 MHz.
• The router has 256 MB of RAM in stock.
• For fast work in file-sharing networks, a special firmware NDMS V2 is used.
• There are built-in firewall and Torrent-client.
• There are connectors for connecting "flash drives".
• Wi-Fi module for two antennas.

In other words, a pretty good configuration, according to the developers, it is also absolutely reliable. It is promised to download files at a speed of about 1 Gbps (you need to understand this correctly - not only the router, but also the provider should support this speed).

Router settings

Like other similar systems, zyxel keenetic has basic settings default. To view and edit them, you need to go to the device's web interface at the standard address for most of these devices: http://192.168.1.1. Initial settings zyxel keenetic authentication looks like this:

• Login: admin
• Password: 1234

You can change the settings of the router using the "Settings Wizard". There are two ways to configure the device: Quick Setup and Web Configurator Setup. In order to start working with the device and connect to the network, the first tool is enough. For flexible configuration of the router, the second method is more suitable.

For the initial configuration of zyxel keenetic, you may need:

Specify MAC address network board. This is not always necessary, because depends on the whims of the provider. If the provider requires a MAC address, then you can find it through command line by typing the ipconfig /all command there.

Specify a static IP address for the router, if any. If dynamic addressing is used, then this need not be done and the corresponding configuration parameter should be set to "Automatic".

Some providers require a password to access the Internet - it must also be specified in the router settings.

The values ​​of other parameters can be accepted by default.

Why is authorization needed?

The password set in the default settings of the router must be changed to an individual one. Otherwise, everyone (of those who are closer to you) will be able to create WiFi connection to your device and use your network while eating precious traffic. Therefore, only you yourself and those whom you allowed to connect to the Internet through your 4g router should know the password for zyxel keenetic.

It would seem banal? But many forget to do this, carried away by experimenting with new equipment, and then simply forgetting about this need. Let's assume that you did everything right and assigned to the device New Password.

Forgetfulness in this case can also play a trick on you: you can forget the new password and get problems connecting to zyxel keenetic.

All modems from this manufacturer have a universal password reset procedure. Let's start with its description.

Reset Authorization

To solve the above problem, we propose step by step instructions with comments:

• The zyxel keenetic giga ii and similar models must have a button labeled "Reset" on the case. This button is used to reset the configuration parameters (including the device password) to the factory settings. After pressing this button, the parameters of the zyxel keenetic giga ii should again take the values ​​\u200b\u200bspecified above in our note.
• Press the "Reset" button and hold it for 10 seconds. At the same time, watch the lights on the case: they should first blink, and then go out all at once. This is a sign that our goal has been reached and the password has been reset. Some users do not wait for the allotted time and wonder why they did not succeed.
• Now you can go to the web interface of the device and re-specify the value of the device parameters.

That, in fact, is all the wisdom regarding working with zyxel keenetic. You can always find more complete information about this device and its configuration on the Internet. In case of any other problems with this router, you should first read the instructions for the device, and only then start asking Google questions.
