How to set up a zyxel keenetic router

If you have bought a zyxel keenetic router, then you will not be able to use the Internet network immediately, as it requires your manual setting. The main steps that you need to perform are: Copy your MAC address, configure Wi Fi connection, set your username and password, as well as other connection security options. The best solution will be familiar with the instruction that goes in the configuration with the router. You will need ten minutes of free time and full access to the Internet cable to switch it from the router to the computer.

1
To begin with, you need to connect the Internet cable to that computer from which you are going to configure. If you have already used the Internet from it, then this action can not be performed.

Now connect the cables as follows:

  • Internet Swipe to the router in a special hole, which is located separately from the rest.
  • LAN Cable One end Connect to a computer, and another to the router in any connector that can be somewhat, depending on your Zyxel Keenetic model.
  • Turn on the router by pressing the large button on the back side.

Note that at this stage no longer need to connect anything. You can connect the remaining computers later.

Now open on your computer, any browser. Fill in the address bar http://192.168.1.1 such an address, or if he has not approached - http://192.168.1.0

You have to open the login window. If one did not change the sharing settings on your router before, the default username "admin" without the quotes, and the password is "1234".

You will find yourself in the window all the settings and parameters of your router, go to the "Internet" section and the "Connecting". Here you specify the basic settings for connecting to the Internet:

  • In the column "Configuring IP Settings" set to "Automatic".
  • Under this paragraph, do not forget to put a tick next to the words "Obtain DNS server address automatically".
  • Now the most important point is Mac address. Most often, the router itself defines the MAC address of your computer, which is connected via the LAN network. Put the "Take from the computer" in the second column, and the MAC address will appear in the third.
  • If this did not happen, then you will have to enter it manually.
  • Talks under items transfer from the screenshot below.

Click "Apply" and you will have access to the Internet. If any failure occurred, update the firmware on the official website at https://help.kenetic.net

Now configure the connection to Wi Fi. Go to "Wi Fi" item in the left menu of the router, then "connection".

  • Put a check mark near the Wi Fi client string.
  • Name Network Enter your own. It can be your surname or just a common word. The name will be displayed on other devices when searching for networks.
  • Network protection must be "WPA2-PSK" if you want to set the password so that the neighbors do not have the ability to connect.
  • This section may be the "network key" item, and may not be, depending on your model of the router. If there is no such item, you will find it in the "Protection" section in the left menu. Enter the password you just remember.
  • Install the checkboxes in the last two points.

Click "Apply".

5
Change the password and login to enter the router settings for more security, because each user knows about the "1234" password.

Go to the "System" section. From the drop-down list, select "Password".

  • Enter twice a new password from your router. Do not forget to record it and store in a safe place, otherwise it will be difficult to restore access.

Now click "Apply".

You have completed the main setting of the ZyXEL Keenetic router and you can insert the remaining LAN wires from the computers. Remember that you can change the Wi Fi settings at any time, in particular, the password from the wireless network and its name. If you change the main computer, whose Mac address is copied to the router, then you need to perform this setting re-from another computer.
