How to connect a zyxel keenetic lite 3 modem. Main advantages of Zyxel Keenetic Lite III

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 wireless connection, 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 for 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. The 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 provide a connection to 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 specialist of the company the symbols that you see in the agreement, and he will correct you in case of an error. The operator of Rostelecom has no right to read your password in full to you. If you have lost your data for logging into 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

Algorithm quick setup Zixel routers are the same for all models. Let's consider it with an example 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 icon with the image of a globe 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 username 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.

Attention: the offer to update the firmware will appear only if NetFriend detects more than new version than the one installed on your hardware. If it does not appear, it 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 indicate the required connector by clicking on the square 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 establishing a connection and specifications connections. The setup is complete, you can close the installation wizard and start surfing the 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

Model Keenetic Lite from Zyxel - inexpensive but very functional. And, most importantly, like all the equipment of the company, it is equipped with a beautifully designed and reasonably organized 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 ​​of 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. Standard password 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

The 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 talked about 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 appropriate lines the username and password given to you by the 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 the value "Auto". The rest of the fields, such as the service and hub names or Description, do not need to be changed. Save the changes by clicking the "Apply" button below work area screen. The configuration for the Internet is now 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 a neighbor's one, 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 protection" heading. In the similar "Channel" list located just below, select the "Auto" value. It remains to fill in the "Network key" line. Enter your 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 Keenetic settings 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 username and password to enter global network... The data for filling them out is 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 the 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 any 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.

Users do not even suspect that the reason for a poor Wi-Fi signal and network operation in general is their home routers that do not meet standards. This applies to outdated or poor quality routers. Cheap chinese device- a rash choice. For productive and secure work, you need an appropriate one, for example, a Zyxel keenetic lite 3 router - high-quality, reliable and inexpensive. However, buying and connecting is half the battle, you still need to activate it, and the setup instructions sometimes do not take into account important points process.

"Kinetic Light 3" — this is the latest of the modern developments of the Swiss company, with high functional characteristics and capabilities. The model is distinguished by high-speed qualities and a number of advantages that are often inaccessible for more expensive devices of this type. This is especially true for connecting all possible devices to the network and IPTV. The new product has undergone several hardware updates, in particular, the revision of the MT7620N chip presented by MediaTek, with a frequency of 580MHz. Data transfer reaches 300 Mbps.

The important features of connecting to two or three providers at the same time have been preserved. Thanks to this, Keenetic lite uses a backup channel in case of possible failures in the main network by controlling the access priority. The same goes for filters to protect against viruses,
unauthorized entry into the database, including the function " Parental control", When this option is activated on the Yandex.DNS service.

The new "Adapter Mode" feature allows computers with ports to connect to a Wi-Fi network without any accompanying devices. There is also the possibility of obtaining remote access using a VPN server and other useful options.

The main characteristics of the new "Zixel":

• The standards of the networks used are 802.11b / g / n.
• The Wi-Fi frequency range is 2.4 GHz.
• The base transfer rate is 100 Mbps.
• The maximum possible transfer rate is 300 Mbps.
