This router knows how to work with various communication operators, including the popular companies of Intercom, MTS, YOTA, Megafon, Beeline and others. For service in some areas, a special firmware will be required, which you can get by consulting with technical specialists. When the device is completely ready, we connect it to the computer and the network:
If the instructions for the device are available, be sure to get acquainted with its contents. We connect the router to the outlet, we place the antenna cable in the USB connector, and we connect any of their LAN ports with a yellow cable to the network card of the system unit of our PC (or the corresponding laptop nest).
Next, it is necessary to adjust the TCP/IP parameters, indicating the automatic receipt of IP address values. For this:

- we leave marks in the form of points opposite two choice options: “receive an IP address automatically” + “get DNS”;
- in all open windows, click “OK” to save changes.

How to set up a Router Zyxel Keenetic 4G, if you can’t connect
After the manipulations described above, our devices should earn in the usual order and assign the IP address to the computer. This can be checked in “Local network connections”. If there is a note “DHCP is assigned / turned on”, then the router successfully appointed the PC internal address (for example, 192.168.1.23). If this does not happen, most likely the problem is the operation of the DHCP client. The reasons for this can be completely different, it is easier to enter suitable values \u200b\u200bin manual mode. To do this, in the window from the first point of the article (Internet connection-›“ Properties ”-› tcp \\ IP) it is necessary to remove the marks from the points of automatic receipt and enter IP-192.168.1.101, the subnet mask-255.255.255.0, gateway-192.168.1.1.1.1.1.1 , DNS - 192.168.1.1. We save the data, rebooting if necessary.
