Setting up a Wi-Fi router ZyXEL Keenetic Start

The ZyXEL Keenetic Start router allows you to connect up to 4 devices in an apartment using wired communication lines at a speed of up to 100 Mbps, and also provides connection of wireless devices with a wireless data transfer rate of up to 150 Mbps. Let's consider the necessary settings of this router to work in the Insis network.

1. Connecting the router to the PC on which the configuration is performed:

Connect the incoming cable "Insis" to the blue port on the router ("INTERNET" port), then use a patch cord to connect the network card of your PC to one of the four yellow ports on the router ("HOME NETWORK 1-4"). In this case, the settings for obtaining an IP address on the network card should be set to "Obtain automatically". You can learn more about the network settings on the ethernet interface of the PC in the help sections "Instructions for setting up a network in Windows ...":

2. Entering the router configuration interface and changing the default password:

To enter the router settings interface, open a browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.) and enter the address http://192.168.1.1/. The default username is admin, the password is admin. If you cannot access the web-based interface, or the router was previously configured for use in other conditions, we recommend that you restore factory settings or check the network details settings on your PC. The factory settings on this router are restored by pressing the hidden reset button for 5-10 seconds. After that, the indicators on the router will turn off and then light up again, which will mean resetting the current settings and restoring the default settings. The settings on the PC should be set to Get Automatically. How to change the network settings on the ethernet interface of the PC, you can find out in the help sections "Instructions for setting up a network in Windows ...". After that, you need to click the "Web configurator" button and change the default password:

3. Setting up access to the Internet:

To configure access to the Internet in the "Internet" section (the planet icon in the bottom panel of the interface), select the "Connections" subsection, click on the "Broadband Connection" connection and enter the following data:

After that, you must click "Apply".

4. Wireless network setup:

To configure the wireless network in the "Network-Wi-Fi" section (the Wi-Fi icon in the lower interface panel), set the following parameters:

After that, you must click "Apply".

5. Updating the router firmware:

The settings made are enough to access the Internet, but for a more stable and high-quality work, it is recommended to update the version of the router microcontroller. This can be done in the "System - Components" section (gear icon in the lower interface panel). It is necessary to select the required components (the most important ones are selected automatically) and press the "Update" button.

6. Router responses to ICMP requests:

To diagnose the quality of the connection, when contacting the technical support service, you must allow your router to respond to ICMP requests. Go to the "Security - Firewall" section (shield icon in the lower interface panel). It is necessary to click "Add rule" and register the following data:

These settings are enough for comfortable work on the Internet. If you have any questions, you can always contact the round-the-clock technical support by phone 8-800-755-05-55.

Zyxel Keenetic has quickly captured a share of the market thanks to its quality product. This company produces a number of routers for fast Internet access. Today we will find out how Zyxel Keenetic Start is configured.

Let's go through the characteristics a little. The router is relatively simple and designed for new users. It can have one or two antennas to increase the signal range. The weight of the router is quite small, only 180 grams. The speed with which you can work through this device can reach 150 Megabits per second. The price range is about a thousand rubles. Fairly good price for such characteristics

Appearance and equipment

A bit of external description. The front of the router is represented by a series of indicators that allow you to monitor the status of operation without going into settings.

· The first is the power indicator of the router. It shows if the device is on now.

· After there is an LED that is responsible for the operation of the wireless network.

· The penultimate light shows if there is Internet access now.

· The latter is responsible for USB.

The back panel is represented by a number of different ports and more:

· One or two antenna connections.

· Reset button, which is inside the hole.

· Four local ports for direct connection of desktops or laptops.

· Port of connection to the Internet - WAN.

· Key to turn on the router.

· Connector for a cable for supplying electricity.

The standard kit should include:

1. The device itself.

2. A short network cable for initial setup.

3. Various documentation that no one ever reads, but its absence would also be unacceptable.

4. Power supply for connecting the router to electricity.

Installation

Installation takes a minimum amount of time. To install the router, you just need to connect all the necessary cables to the necessary connectors. Using the power supply, connect the Zyxel Keenetic Start router to the network. Connect the network cable to the first LAN port, and connect the other side to the computer. Screw the antennas into the places for the antennas. Now you can turn on our device using the power button. After engaging Zyxel Keenetic Start, the router must be configured through the PC that is connected to it via LAN.

Customization

Debugging begins with the fact that you need to go through any Internet browser to the system parameters of the router. To do this, write 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in the address bar. The router login window should appear here. Enter the standard username and password. If the router was not in use before, then it is "admin" (both login and password). If it was in operation, then it is necessary to reset the settings so that they are by default. To reset, you need to use some thin object to press the reset button. It needs to be delayed for 10 seconds. It will reset to default settings.

Next comes a simple Zyxel Keenetic Start II instruction. Now you need to click on the "Quick setup" button. After that, you need to update, and it is better to ignore the offer to use the Yandex service.

If your ISP has a dynamic IP, then the Internet should already appear. If it's a static IP, then it's a little more complicated.

After choosing Quick Setup, the Router will not be able to configure itself. We select the item "The provider does not register MAC addresses".

In the window that has now opened, enter the login and password provided by the Internet company. They are usually found in the contract. It is also worth clarifying the type of connection there. If there is no username and password, then check the box "I have no password" and click on.

If it didn’t work out, then to configure the router we proceed as in the screenshot.

Now the direct step-by-step configuration of the Zyxel Keenetic Start - WiFi router. It doesn't take too long to set up. Go to the "Wi-Fi network" tab. Here we check the boxes and do the same as in the screenshot. SSID is the name of your Wi-Fi "Zixel Kinetic Start". The key is the password for it. Fill in and click Apply.

Here's a beginner's guide. At this stage, the configuration of the Zyxel Keenetic Start router for Beeline is completed, you can use the router.

Change the factory password

For security reasons, it is recommended to change the factory password. By default: Login admin, password 1234. In the router interface, go to the “ System", Further password. In field "New Password" Enter a new password. Repeat it in the next field. Then we save the settings by pressing the button " Apply».

Zyxel brand routers are perhaps one of the most user-friendly. The whole process of setting them up for working on the Internet takes, at most, 10 minutes, regardless of the provider and region. For example, under the parameters of Rostelecom, the configuration of a Zyxel router of any model can be carried out in automatic mode, where you will only need to press the "Next" button from time to time. But if you need to set the configuration of the wireless connection, the automation will no longer be able to help - it is simply not designed for such actions. There are also a number of nuances that you need to know when working with routers of this brand. We will talk about them in this article.

What do you need to know before setting up?

Like any modem of any other brand, the Zixel router under Rostelecom is configured through a special web interface. To get into it, you will need a browser. You can use any, from the standard Internet Explorer to the more familiar to many Chrome or Opera.

To gain access to the settings area, type in the line at the top of the browser window the system address of the equipment - 192.168.1.1. It will be correct for any router model. After entering these numbers, an authentication window will appear on the screen over the browser. Login data is also standard for the entire Zixel line: as a login - admin, as a password - 1234 or also admin.

To set up a configuration that allows your router to communicate with the Internet, you will need a username and password for this service. As a rule, they are specified in the agreement with Rostelecom. Prepare this document in advance and keep it handy until you finish setting up. If the characters in the contract are poorly typed and difficult to read, you can check them with your provider by calling technical support at 8-800-1000-800. But be prepared for the fact that a call on such an occasion will take about 15 minutes, and the operator will ask you for your passport data to verify the password.

Attention: the expression “verify the password” means that you will dictate to the company's specialist the symbols that you see in the agreement, and he will correct you in case of an error. The Rostelecom operator has no right to read your password in full. If you have lost your data for entering the Internet, a remote specialist will not be able to help you - contact the RTK office with a passport and a contract.

Setting up a Zyxel Keenetic Lite 3 router under Rostelecom in automatic mode

The quick setup algorithm for Zixel routers is the same for all models. Let's consider it using the example of Zyxel Keenetic Lite 3. Most likely, you will see the offer to use the automatic configuration wizard as soon as you enter the web interface. How it looks is shown in the screenshot below. If this page does not appear, then you are in the Zyxel System Monitor. Find the globe icon at the bottom of the screen and click on it. In the new window, click the "NetFriend" button (this is the name of the installation wizard), and you will go into automatic mode.

Here you just need to click on the "Quick setup" button. The configurator will offer you several drop-down lists in which you will need to select your city, country and provider name. If you received a router at the Rostelecom office, this company will definitely be registered in the NetFriend database in the first place. After each step, click the "Next" button at the bottom of the page.

In the fourth window, the system will ask you to enter your login and password to access the Internet. Reprint them from the contract with the provider, strictly observing the case of characters. After you click "Next", the installation wizard will check the connectivity and, if successful, will prompt you to update the router's firmware. Do this, and the configuration of the Zyxel Keenetic router for Rostelecom will, in fact, be completed.

Note: the offer to update the firmware will appear only if NetFriend detects a newer version on the server than the one installed on your hardware. If it does not appear, this does not mean that you did something wrong. It's just that the software on your device is up-to-date and does not need updates.

Next, the installation wizard prompts you to perform two more steps. The first is the choice of the port for the set-top box. You can specify the required connector by clicking on the box under the picture with its number. If you have not activated the Interactive TV service from Rostelecom, just go to the next step. The second suggestion is to install a Yandex DNS filter. It is quite possible to refuse it, this add-on will not affect the work of the Internet in any way.

After that, you will see a message about the connection establishment and the connection specifications. The setup is complete, you can close the installation wizard and start surfing sites or chatting on Skype. If you need to configure a wireless network, click the "Web configurator" button at the bottom of the screen and set the required parameters. We will describe the detailed algorithm of this process below.

Setting up Zyxel Keenetic Lite in manual mode

The Keenetic Lite model from Zyxel is inexpensive, but very functional. And, most importantly, like all the equipment of the company, it is equipped with a beautifully designed and reasonably systematized utility for setting. Even a novice user will understand how to work with it. Setting up a Zyxel Keenetic Lite router under Rostelecom begins with selecting the "Internet" menu item on the left side of this interface, the "Authorization" sub-item.

In the window that appears, you will need to set the type of PPPoE access protocol in the drop-down list and fill in the lines with the username and password. Reprint this data from the contract. Check that the checkbox next to the line about automatically obtaining an IP address is ticked. Do not touch the rest of the fields, just save the changes made using the button at the bottom of the page. If everything is done correctly, it will connect to the network in 30-60 seconds.

If you need to configure a wireless network in addition to the Internet, go to the left menu item "Wi-Fi network". Select the sub-item "Connection" and write in it the name of your wireless network. You can come up with it yourself, there are only two restrictions - Latin letters and the number of characters is at least eight. After saving the settings, go to the "Security" subsection. Here you need to set the values \u200b\u200bof all fields as shown in the screenshot.

In the line with the name "Network Key" enter your password for the Wi-Fi network. Also come up with it yourself. The standard password is indicated on the router, on the label from the back, but it can be changed just at this moment of the settings. If you are afraid to get confused, use the password provided by Rostelecom for the Internet as a key for the wireless network.

Click the button at the bottom right of the "Apply" window, and you can use the wireless network and standard wired connection.

Setting up a Zyxel Keenetic Lite 2 router for Rostelecom

Keenetic Lite 2 model can be used to access the network using Ethernet and ADSL technologies. We will describe the algorithm for setting the configuration for the second option. By the way, setting up a Zyxel Keenetic Giga router for Rostelecom is done in the same way.

Having entered the web interface (we described how to log in at the beginning of the article), select the "Internet" tab in the left menu. A list will open in front of you, in which you will need to click on the word "Authorization". Next, in the menu that appears, click on the square with the inscription PPPoE - this is the type of protocol that Rostelecom uses to connect to the Internet. To create a new configuration, use the "Add interface" button. In the window that opens, you need to enter in the corresponding lines the username and password given to you by RTK for the global network. Take this data from the contract. Check the box to automatically configure IP settings. In the drop-down list with the name "Authentication Method" select "Auto". The rest of the fields, such as the service and hub names or Description, do not need to be changed. Save the changes made by clicking the "Apply" button at the bottom of the working area of \u200b\u200bthe screen. The web configuration installation is complete.

Configuring the Zyxel Keenetic Giga 2, Lite II and Lite III router from Rostelecom for a wireless connection is performed in the same way. Click on the Wi-Fi network icon in the bottom menu (it looks like a ladder). In the form that appears, you will need to fill in several fields. They are marked in red in the screenshot below.

In the line "Network name" you can enter any word or combination of letters and numbers. This will be the name of your wireless connection. In order not to confuse your Wi-Fi with your neighbor's, we recommend using your last name, a nickname on the network, or an address with an apartment number as your first name. Entering the name “Rostelecom” is not worth it, there may be several such networks in an apartment building, this will cause confusion.

Next, set the WPA2-PSK value in the drop-down list with the "Network Security" heading. In the similar "Channel" list located just below, select the "Auto" value. It remains to fill in the "Network key" line. Enter the wireless password here. You can use the factory version of the key, it is indicated on the label of the router. But you can also set your own combination of symbols. After that, it remains to click the "Apply" button and start using the new connection.

Setting up a Zyxel Keenetic Start router for Rostelecom

Having entered the configuration interface of the Keenetic Start router, you will see an invitation from the configuration setup wizard. It is standard for all models of this brand. Setting up a Zyxel Keenetic 4g router under Rostelecom with its help will be no different from setting up Keenetic Start and other devices of the family.

By clicking the "Quick Setup" button, you will see a request for the MAC address of the equipment. Rostelecom usually does not register this parameter for its subscribers. If you took the router from the company's office, you will not be prompted for an address during setup. If the router was purchased by you yourself, you will need to enter the MAC indicated on the label on the back of the device.

By clicking the Next button, you will be taken to the area for configuring the IP-protocol parameters. From subscribers connected via PPPoE, here you only need to set the "Automatic" checkbox in the "IP address setting" line. The rest of the parameters require editing for those using a static IP from Rostelecom. But in this case, it is better to invite company specialists or at least an experienced system administrator to carry out the settings.

Click "Next" again, and you will see the authorization settings section. Here you need to fill in the fields with a login and password to enter the global network. The data for filling them out are indicated in the agreement with the RTK, you just need to carefully retype them and proceed to the final stage.

Important: if in your region Rostelecom uses a dynamic IP address for subscribers, and not PPPoE protocol, the actions will be different. In the authorization settings, you will need to put a check mark next to the line "I do not have a password". Leave the rest of the fields as they are, just click the Next button.

This completes the work on setting parameters for the Internet, in principle. But if you want to configure the Zyxel Keenetic Start router for Rostelecom for wireless data transmission, go to the web configurator. The button for the transition is located at the bottom of the window. We talked about how to work with this section at the beginning of the article, the algorithm is the same for all models of this brand.

As you can see, the settings for Zyxel routers are quite simple and do not require special knowledge. You don't even have to check with your ISP for the network IDs that are required to set up a working configuration on third-party instruments. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to choose which router to get from Rostelecom when you connect to the Internet, Zyxel will be the best option.

In this manual, we will take a closer look at how to set up a Zyxel Keenetic Start KN-1110 wifi router. Let's see how to connect the Internet and set up a wifi network. For us, this is especially interesting because, in addition to the external design updated compared to the previous Zyxels, the router firmware has also undergone changes. Now the administrator section has become much easier and more convenient for setting up a wireless network. By the way, just a few days ago I published.

Instructions for connecting the Zyxel Keenetic Start router

To connect a Keenetic Start router to a computer and the Internet and configure a wifi network on it, we can go in two ways:

Connect it to the PC using the patchcord that is in the box
Or immediately connect to the wireless signal from the router

Zyxel Keenetic Start KN-1110 router setup wizard

After connecting to the router, to enter its control panel, open a browser on a computer or laptop and enter http://192.168.1.1 or in the address bar. If none of the addresses, then the solution is also on our website.

Changing the default password Zyxel Keenetic Start

For novice users of a wifi router, I recommend starting the Keenetic Start setup with a step-by-step wizard. The first window will offer to change the language of the web interface to Russian.

Then set a password to access the administrator section.

In the event that you find an old blue firmware version on your router, then it will be more convenient for you to configure it by

Internet connection

The next few steps are dedicated to choosing an operating mode and type of Internet connection. First of all, we will choose in what capacity Keenetic Start will be used: as the main router, or a signal amplifier or wifi adapter.

If the second and third options, then go to the "Additional modes" section and select the desired one. I will tell you more about them separately, but now we will configure Keenetic Start as the main router, so choose "Ethernet"

After that, we decide whether to leave the MAC address of the router or clone it from the computer. You need to clarify this with your ISP (some ISPs bind the device by MAC, preventing others from going online), but to avoid unnecessary conversations, I usually copy it from the main PC that was previously connected via cable.

Now the most important thing is to choose the correct IP parameters for connecting to the Internet. The choice is made from three types:

Automatic - for all types
Manual - for Static IP
Without IP address - PPPoE

Static IP

If your Internet connection type is "Static IP", then select it in the list and then enter the IP address, mask and gateway provided by your provider.

For all others, select "Automatic" and go to the page for selecting a specific type.

For Rostelecom subscribers - PPPoE

If you are a subscriber of Rostelecom, then you will need to select the PPPoE type - it is also used by some other providers, check in your agreement. Here you will need to enter a username and password to connect to the Internet.

For Beeline - L2TP

L2TP is used even less often, but it is, oddly enough, that Beeline has. If this is your case, then in addition to the login and password, you also need to register the address of the vpn server.

Dynamic IP

For the majority, this is a normal DHCP or Dynamic IP, when you do not need to manually register anything and the Internet is configured automatically. If you, like me, use it, then click "No password" and wait for the router to connect.

And finally, at the final step, information about the WiFi network will be displayed - unfortunately, you cannot configure it here, so exit the wizard and go to the main menu.

Setting up a Keenetic WiFi network

In order to set the necessary parameters for a WiFi connection on a Keenetic Start router, you need to go to the "Home network" section. Here we can:

Activate wireless signal
Set network name
Change Password
Assign encryption type - the most secure is used by default, so I recommend leaving it (WPA2-PSK)
