The Zyxel Keenetic Lite III router belongs to a line of inexpensive, but at the same time high-quality and reliable devices for home and small offices. The router is not particularly different from its predecessors in the line: the design of the device has been slightly rethought and some technical characteristics have been improved to meet modern needs. Since the device is from the budget segment, it is equipped with only the essentials to create a stable connection.

Connection

The router is connected in a standard way: first the router is connected to the network, and then the connection with other devices occurs. More detailed instructions are as follows:

1. Connect the router to a 220V power supply. Use the included power supply for this. If necessary, first secure the router to the wall.
2. Connect the router to your PC or laptop via Wi-Fi or LAN.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable or USB modem to the router so that it starts distributing the Internet.

To connect to the router via Wi-Fi, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open the list of available wireless access points. In Windows, this requires clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar.
2. Among the list of access points, find “Keenetic Lite 3”. The name may be changed by the provider. In this case, look for up-to-date information in the contract for the provision of communication services.
3. Connect to this network.

Configuration occurs through a web interface, which can be opened through any browser on a computer.

Wireless connection

As soon as Kinetic Light 3 is turned on, turn it upside down and look at the label.

• Wi-Fi network – the name of the wireless network to which you will connect;
• Network password is a key that must be entered when connecting.

If there is no such network, look at the indicators. The WiFi indicator should be on - if it is not on, press the button on top. If the indicator is on, but there is no network, reset to factory settings.

Login to router settings

To enter the router settings, enter the following address in the search bar of your browser: https://192.168.1.1. To move on, press Enter.

You will be asked for a login and password. Specify the standard ones: login – admin, password – admin or 1234. The data can be changed by your provider. In this case, see the latest information in the contract or contact technical support.

Immediately after logging in, the firmware will prompt you to change the standard login-password pair. You can perform the change later - when you are finished with the basic settings.

Setup via phone app

Let me remind you that the application works only with new firmware on versions “Rev. B". The product version is indicated on the label under the housing.

1. Go to Google Play or AppStore. In the search bar, enter the name of the program “My.Keenetic”. Download and install.

1. Then simply follow the instructions. The router will ask questions, and you answer them. But the phone or tablet must be connected to the router’s network via Wi-Fi.

Automatic setup

By default, it is proposed to configure Zyxel Keenetic Lite 3 in automatic mode:

1. A window will open asking you to quickly configure the router. Click "Quick Setup" to confirm.

1. The type of network connection will be automatically detected: Ethernet, modem or ADSL cable. If the automatic detection did not work correctly, you can specify the desired type yourself.

1. The system will ask if you need to register MAC addresses. If the provider does not register MAC addresses, then leave the default value. Otherwise, check with your provider for current MAC addresses.
2. Next, select your country and region of residence. This is done through a drop-down list. If your locality is not on the list, then enter its name manually.

1. At this step, you enter your login and password, which are issued by your provider/operator. You can find them out from the contract or by contacting technical support.
2. The firmware will prompt you to enable “Yandex Internet filter with DNS”. It allows you to protect yourself from various attacks. Whether you turn it on or not is up to you.

1. Click on the “Go online” button to complete the automatic configuration of the router.

The globe icon on the router body should light up, which will indicate successful setup and connection to the Internet.

Setting up the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite 3 router

The material discusses setting up the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite 3 for any provider providing services using Ethernet technology, and with any protocol - PPTP, PPPoE, L2TP, binding by MAC address and setting a dynamic or static IP address, as well as as a repeater ( access point, repeater)

You can find prices for setting up network equipment in the section “Services - Setting up a router”

We looked at setting up this model for the thirty largest providers in Moscow and the Moscow region (for other regions, the settings of the listed providers may differ)

You can read about the choice of installation location or installation of the router, as well as some of its characteristics that affect the signal quality in this material

You can get additional instructions and options for solving problems associated with poorly functioning Internet from the Computer Help section

Added: ProLink, Ecotelecom

Using these instructions, you can configure not only any of the black ZyXEL Keenetic models with interface version 2, but also others due to the standard structure of the WEB interface

. Assembling and connecting the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite 3 router

All router connectors are on the rear panel

We connect the router to the electrical network and turn it on with the Power button

We insert the provider cable into the Internet port (if the router is connected as a wireless repeater, then leave the Internet port empty)

If the device is intended to be used as repeater from the main router via wire, the Internet port must be connected with an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of the main router or ADSL modem

For use as an ADSL modem with providers MTS, MGTS and Rostelecom (via a two-wire telephone cable), the Keenetic Lite 3 router is not suitable - you need to either connect it as a repeater from the ADSL modem, or a Keenetic DSL router (Annex A - for use without security alarm) or TP-Link TD-W8961NB (Annex B - for use in conjunction with a security alarm). When setting up a PPPoE connection on ADSL equipment, in addition to the login and password, also specify the VPI and VCI values. For MGTS they are equal to 1 and 50, respectively, for Rostelecom - 0 and 35

Attention! This material discusses setting up the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite III router in repeater (repeater, access point) mode manually, so select the “Main” mode with the switch, as in the illustration above

Insert the Ethernet cable that comes with the router into any yellow port. We connect the other end of the same cable to the Ethernet port of a laptop or computer

After these operations, a network connection should be established on the computer, about which you will see a notification in the corner of the screen

. Login to the WEB interface of the ZyXEL Keenetic Lite 3 router

To set up the Internet on the router, you need two things: the type of connection and data from your contract (login-password pair, static IP address and/or MAC address)

If you do not know the type of connection, then before setting up the router, dial the technical support number of your provider and ask the employee the following question - “What type of connection should be used to set up the router?” It’s also worth checking separately whether there is a binding by MAC address. You should be answered with one of the options below - click on it with your mouse

Dynamic IP, DHCP or IPoE - pronounced "dynamic IP address", "DH-CP-pee" and "ah-pee-oh-e"

- Static IP - “static IP address”

— Static IP + MAC address binding

- PPTP - point-to-point tunneling protocol (pronounced "pee-pee-tee-pee")

— PPTP + Static IP

- L2TP - second-level tunneling protocol (“el-two-ti-pi”)

- PPPoE - network protocol for transmitting packets over Ethernet (“pi-pi-pi-o-e”)

— PPPoE + Static IP

Binding by MAC address - pronounced “mac-address”

Attention! Your provider may have mixed authorization - for example, PPTP + MAC address binding
