Zyxel Keenetic Viva Installing and connecting the router. The default password from the new generation router ZyXEL KEENETIC


Buying wireless routers is important. The user should explore all possible models, manufacturers and in general, the characteristics that may differ from one or another device. Interestingly, the development of the equipment is not in place, and now there are more and more reliable companies that produce good devices for their fans.

New

Not so long ago, users began to get acquainted with a new way to connect to the network. The Internet Center - combined the functions not only the modem and router, but also received many interesting parameters that help distribute the Internet on Wi-Fi to IP telephony. So, thanks to this device, it is possible to establish a connection on several PCs and mobile devices, while using VOLP calls.

Before we get acquainted with the hero of today's review, it is worth understanding what an Internet center can be. It is mainly represented in 2 types: LTE and 3G / 4G. The first option is considered cheaper, it can cost about 6-7 thousand rubles. It works on creating a local wireless local network and connecting two devices via Ethernet, to them a dozen gadgets for Wi-Fi and a pair of telephones for VoIP. Antenna of such an Internet center has a gain of 5 DBI maximum.

The second option will cost a little more expensive. The cost is directly proportional to the possibilities of the device. In this case, Wi-Fi is connected to 32 devices, two pairs via Ethernet and a pair of phones. There is also a 3G function.

Manufacturer

Before you tell what Zyxel Keenetic Viva receives, we learn a little about this manufacturer. The company appeared relatively recently, was founded in 1989. It has a public type and is in the Republic of China. The manufacturer is pretty famous and familiar to many as the creator of high-quality network equipment for home and industry.

Mostly, the company produces Ethernet, VoIP, ADSL, fame received thanks to the Dialup modem, which were often acquired in Russia. Now most often the manufacturer acquire equipment with DSL and Ethernet, among which there are ADSL modem, Internet centers and routers.

Overlooked hero

TO internet distribution centeriCC attribute a good model from ZyXEL. Keenetic Viva Characteristics received decent for the average price segment. In general, it is intended to establish an Internet connection through a selected line. At the same time, it supports all the necessary protocols that may occur. Among them, as always, PPPoe, PPTP, IPv4 / IPv6, etc.

Appearance

Immediately it is worth saying that the company does not give much value to the packaging of the goods. It looks rather modest, but stylish and restrained. Considering that this is not game devices for PC, then there should be no superfluous pathos in the package. So, in front of us Zyxel Keenetic Viva. Review of unpacking, of course, is not so important. Although to make sure that you have acquired the same device with the necessary accessories, it is better to know about the configuration.

So, the Internet center is packaged in a durable white cardboard. The company's logo is banging with the front side, in the middle - the image of the model itself, and the supported technologies and in general product characteristics are indicated on a bright background. At the bottom, the model is modestly indicated, as well as its features.

The rear side of the box is completely sealed with a variety of specifications in several languages. There is an image of an interface panel with an indication of connectors formats. There is also support for special technologies and information about useful resources.

There is nothing superfluous inside the box. Unfortunately, there are also no gifts here. The Internet center here is in a protective film along with the main documentation and warranty coupon. From the wires you can notice the external pulse unit, which was powered by 12V 1A. Network patch cord bright yellow is also present in the kit.

Design

Of course, the appearance for the router is not the main thing, but I would like it to look decent. In this case, everything is so. Users praised Design Zyxel Keenetic Viva, reviews about this were good. Despite its scale capabilities, the device has a compact dimensions, made in black and, by the way, is very similar to their fellows on the workshop. So, for example, from the Keenetic Extra model, the hero of our review can be distinguished by antennas.

The housing is made in black, plastic at first glance is durable and high-quality. From above and bottom of the router is used gloss, there are also additional geometric elements that decorate the model. In general, the top panel looks interesting. Most covered with wave-like matte lines, which together with plastic look harmoniously.

The universal button is located in the lower right corner of the top panel. Everything is done around it from a gloss, as if it highlights it from the masses so that the user does not lose and pay attention to functionality. Nearby there was a location of the company's logo.

As mentioned earlier, the size of the corps is compact. If you do not take into account the antennas, which in our case are thin and short, then the "box" itself obtained 34 mm in the thickness, in length 157 mm, and in a width of 110 mm. On the back panel there are rubberized legs, next to them bolts (although they are unlikely to use you), as well as places for mounting the router on the wall. Most of the bottom occupies a white sticker with an indication of the model, service and serial number and information for setting up and power characteristics.

Details

The Zyxel Keenetic VIV router received all the necessary ports. They are placed on the rear panel between the two antennas. Their location is typical for many models not only of this manufacturer.

Before us is a hidden reset button, with which the user sometimes has to face. Nearby there is another universal button. Following five numbered gigabit, and the first has a figure of 0, and then 1-4. The zero port is signed as "Internet" and labeled in blue, the rest of the "home network" connectors are marked with yellow.

On the sides there are ventilation grids, and on the right side, the USB 2.0 port was placed on the right side, which is the only one and indicates that the device supports USB hubs, which means it allows you to connect several external devices.

The front end initial seems like an ordinary matte panel, but in fact there are no indicators here that are not visible in the off state. Of all nine. There is no port speed pointer, but there is a Wi-Fi in Extra with good brightness and two-color mapping. The rest here displays the gadget connection status, how the Ethernet ports work, network availability and use of the USB port.

Inside

The device is based on Soc MediaTek MT7620A, which is built on MIPS24KC. The frequency at the same time reaches 580-600 MHz. The chip consumes some energy, so it is covered with a small chip inside received a radar with a range of 2.4 GHz, and there is a place for the USB 2.0 controller.

Flash memory is a bit - only 16 MB, but this is enough. RAM 128 MB should also be enough. To ensure the correct operation of wired ports, the switch installed in the device. In general, these values \u200b\u200bare enough for a good middle class system. Interestingly, inside the processor, which is very similar to the already forgotten third pentium.

Capabilities

Antennas have 3 DBIs, which also within the usual apartment should be enough. If you have a two-storey house, you will have to look for another Internet center. Not a very pleasant surprise will be that the antennas are non-removable, and therefore it will not work out to expand the coverage area. The maximum speed of the wireless network in our case reaches 300 Mbps. This indicator is indicated on the box, in fact its value may be less. Usually, the reduction in the speed occurs due to all sorts of interference in the form of a wall or overlap to another router.

Interestingly, Ethernet ports are all gigabit. Their number allows you to create a home network and with it quickly share information. As mentioned earlier, there is a USB slot, but they rarely use them, and more often it remains useless.

Other things should be noted that the router besides his direct duties can support interactive television. You can also create a guest wireless network, but it will not be available to all users of the home network and the Internet speed will become somewhat slower.

The device management can be done using a smartphone thanks to a special application. It is possible to configure the autonomous torrent client, which makes it possible to stay on the network, but the PC can be disabled.

Home network via WiFi router can work in several directions. For example, there is a DLNA server that helps run the medianet, in which TV, smartphones and tablets are involved. It is possible to connect the printer, for this, the USB port is just designed. The user can connect the VPN server, use Yandex filters, which will help secure dangerous sites and botnets. Of course, it is impossible to forget about parental control.

On practice

Before you know everything about how the configuration is used for Zyxel Keenetic Viva, it is worth understanding the productivity of the device. The main thing that needs to be tested is the routing rate. If you are not going to take customers for more than 2.4 GHz, then this model will be enough with interest.

If you take into account the connection of the IPOE and PPPoE, we can observe almost gigabit velocities, which makes it possible to implement the hardware NAT. The PPTP and L2TP value ranges from 200 to 270 Mbps. They can without problems can cope with work on the mass channel 100 Mbit / s and, of course, with a full-duplex mode. These values \u200b\u200bwill be a pleasant surprise, as they are noticeably less on the package.

You also need to check the speed of the wireless controller. If you use the results of 130-180 Mbps are excellent. In general, it turns out that the productivity of the device at the level of the stated. The router copes with all the tasks, also time to compete with more expensive models.

Sales

Interestingly, Keenetic Viva has a simple setting, and also to deal with the firmware, then you can get several times more opportunities. The NDMS 2 series is specifically created in order to expand the basic capabilities and open pleasant surprises.

There is support for the required network connections. This refers to cable, Wi-Fi and 3G / 4G modems. The broadcast of ports and DDNS is supported. Working with interactive television can have several directions, including a dedicated port, multicast, VLAN and UDPXY. It is possible to install the usual or guest wireless network. The firmware has a modular structure, and therefore there is some flexibility in setting up, adjusting and implementing additional functions. The software update occurs operational and on time.

If you do not know how you can use the USB port to which the ZyXEL router got, then there is a pair of ideas on this. For example, to connect a device to organize data, storage with network synchronization via SMB and FTP protocols, to form a DLNA server again, use the offline loading of files, and, as mentioned earlier, use the printer.

To connect the drive of a similar type, you can use trainings of different file systems. Sometimes you have to search the software module. There is a software set that provides access to resources through a specific name and password. That information that is written to an external disk available. It can be reached through the DLNA protocol by applying the media network. The user can use only one folder for indexing and the button that runs the scan.

Auxiliary Soft

To provide offline download files, you can use the TRANSMISION application. The user has all the necessary parameters to set it up. They include port numbers, speed values, connection numbers, etc. The maximum data load speed will reach 5 MB \\ s. In general, this is enough. To use the service, you can select your own web interface. If necessary, there is a way to connect the Internet to it.

This use utilities does not end. Connecting Transmission Remote GUI will also help, but at a lower data transfer rate - 2-4 MB / s. Despite this, access is considered priority, works quickly and correctly.

Setting

It is important to understand how to connect Zyxel Keenetic Viva and set it up. In general, this is not hard. There are not so many wires, and the instruction helps to carry out this problem. Through the power supply, you need to connect the router to the outlet, and with the help of a yellow cable to connect the port "Internet" with a similar connector on the PC.

But the setting can cause some problems. The fact is that not all Internet providers help customize or ask for this service a cash reward. Make it yourself easy.

In the browser you need to enter 192.168.1.1. We need to enter the login and password. Usually, it is customary to enter the admin in the login or password field or enter 1234 to enter the password. When you first get into the router interface, it starts on your PC "Quick Setup wizard" on your PC. If you have had the device to do this before, you will not see anything new, since the interface is identical to the entire family. But in general, this option is suitable for basic tuning, which will make only a tenth of what is needed.

Here, by the way, you can use automatic configuration or a web configurator. Of course, if you do not really understand, it will be easier to call the Internet provider so that it helps you. Those who have extensive experience, of course, use a web configurator. Thus, it can be more accurate to deal with Zyxel Keenetic Viva. Setting in this case requires knowledge of some nuances, such as a protocol that must be specified in the contract with the Internet provider.

Immediately you will be able to set the connection name and password, as well as the type of encryption. In the latter case, it is recommended to choose WPA2-PSK.

One of the most famous manufacturers of communication equipment pleased its fans and consumers 4G by a new generation router. This advanced development is based on the new NDMS V2 platform and received the name Zyxel Keenetic. Before proceeding to discuss specific issues related to, for example, installing and resetting the default password for Zyxel Keenetic, we characterize the new system as a whole. To begin with, we give the main technically parameters of the router so that it is clear what we are talking in principle:

  • The work of the entire stuffing of the device is controlled by the MediaTek RT6586 processor with a frequency of 700 MHz.
  • In the reserve of the router 256 MB of RAM.
  • For quick work in file sharing networks, a special NDMS V2 firmware is used.
  • There are built-in network screen and a torrent client.
  • There are connectors for connecting "flash drives".
  • Two antennas Wi-Fi module.

In other words, a pretty good configuration, according to developers, also absolutely reliable. Promised downloading files at a speed of about 1 Gbps per second (you need to understand this correctly - such a speed should be supported not only by the router, but also the provider).

Router settings

Like other similar systems, ZyXEL Keenetic has basic default settings. To view and edit them, you need to go to the device's web interface according to the standard for most such devices: http://192.168.1.1. The initial settings for the ZyXEL Keenetic authentication look like this:

  • Login: Admin.
  • Password: 1234.

You can change the router settings by using the Settings Master. Two ways to configure the device are offered: Fast setting and configuration using a web configurator. In order to start working with the device and connect to the network is quite the first tool. For flexible configuration of the router, the second method is more suitable.

For initial configuration, Zyxel Keenetic may need:

Specify the MAC address of the network card. This is not always necessary, because Depends on the prosperity of the provider. If the provider requires a MAC address, then you can recognize it through the command line to type the IPConfig / All command there.

Specify the static IP address to the router, if any. If dynamic addressing is used, it does not need to be done and the corresponding setting parameter should be set to "automatically".

Some providers require a password to enter the Internet - it also needs to be specified in the router settings.

The values \u200b\u200bof the remaining parameters can be taken by default.

Why do you need authorization?

The password specified in the default router settings should be changed to the individual one. Otherwise, each person (from those who are closer to you) will be able to create a Wi-Fi connection to your device and use your network, joining precious traffic. Therefore, the password on Zyxel Keenetic should know only you yourself and those who you allowed to connect to the Internet through your 4G router.

It would seem that the banality? But many forget to do this, carried away by experimenting with new equipment, and afterwards just forgetting about this need. Suppose you did everything right and assigned a new password to the device.

Forgetfulness and in this case it is capable of playing with you a cruel joke: you can forget the new password and get problems with connecting to Zyxel Keenetic.

For all modems of this manufacturer, there is a universal password reset procedure. To its description, we will proceed.

Reset authorization

To address the above problem, we propose step-by-step instructions with comments:

  • The Zyxel Keenetic Giga II apparatus and similar models should be present a button with the "Reset". This button is designed to reset the configuration parameters (including a device password) to factory settings. After pressing this button, the ZyXEL Keenetic Giga II parameters must again take the values \u200b\u200bindicated above in our note.
  • Click the "Reset" button and hold it seconds 10. At the same time, watch the bulbs on the housing: they must first frighten, and then go out all over. This is a sign that our goal is achieved and the password is reset. Some users do not wait for the last time and are surprised why they did not work.
  • Now you can enter the device's web interface and re-specify the value of the device parameters.

Here, in fact, all the wisdom regarding work with Zyxel Keenetic. More complete information about this device and its configuration you will always find out on the Internet. In the event of some other problems with this router, you must first read the instructions for the device, and then start setting up Google questions.

Before you begin to configure the router, check the connection settings on the local network. For this:

The next step will be the connection of the router Zyxel Keenetic Viva. To your laptop or personal computer (PC). To do this, you need to connect the cable that you conducted a provider, to the port of the Internet "(this is the cable that goes into your apartment, a house, office, etc. from outside), and a cable that went complete with Router, one end connect to the port of the router "home network", and another end connect to your laptop or PC. And yes, do not forget to connect the power cord.


Authorization of the router ZyXEL KEENETIC VIVA

So, they connected the router, now you need through any browser (whether it is Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) to get into his web interface. For this, open the browser and in the address bar, drive the address of the router: my.kenetic.net. or 192.168.1.1 and press the button " ENTER"On your keyboard.

After, the router offers to produce quick setup, select the interface language - "Russian" and press the web configurator.


After that, the router can display a window to configure the password to the Web interface. Here at your request, you can put a password, you can not. In the case of a password, write it down somewhere.


Also, ZyXEL routers work in various modes, it will not be superfluous to check whether the mode is selected. Click in the bottom menu on the label " System"And go to the tab" Mode"If you configure the Internet with login and password, leave mode" Internet Center - Main Mode".

5. We are waiting for, perhaps a couple of seconds and you connected to your wireless network.


If you need to organize a stable wireless access point in a small apartment without significantly cutting the speed of the data transmission provided by the provider, the installation of the Zyxel Keenetic Viva router is the optimal solution.

This router supports all currently applied communication service providers Protocols: IPv4 / IPv6, PPPOE, 802.1x, IPOE, 802.1Q, PPTP, VLAN and L2TP. And in the absence of the possibility of connecting to the cable Internet, the router can work with most USB modems from mobile operators. Below is an overview of this compact Internet center and an instruction for configuring it.

Characteristics

On the packaging of the device, in addition to the photo of the device, its main characteristics are presented. All information is written in Russian.

On the back of the package, the user will detect a brief illustrated instructions for connecting the device and the list of component elements.

Despite the modest equipment with additional accessories, the owner of the "Kinetik" will detect everything that is required to enter it into operation.

The laconic appearance of the device will allow you to join any interior of an apartment or a small office.

The main advantage of this small appliance is its powerful processor, the frequency of work (600 MHz) of which only a hundred megahertz is inferior to his top fellow Giga II. As well as there are gigabit ports, which allows you to enjoy the advantages of high-speed connection to the global network.

Of course, the RAM of the device is only 128 mV, and the built-in flash memory is 16 MB, but for the purposes of creating a small home network, this is quite enough, and the device will not require frequent reboots. 2 antennas (3 DBI) are responsible for the WiFay signal cover, which will provide a stable wireless connection of devices in a non-large apartment.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer made them non-removable, so inaccessible, without qualified technical intervention, replace them with devices with a large gain coefficient.

The rear panel is traditionally equipped with Internet connectors, as well as the on, reset and configurable "Fn" buttons. The "WPS" key is placed on the front side.

If the router's owner is required simultaneous connection, for example, a printer and any external medium or a USB modem, you will still have to buy a hub, since the corresponding port on the device is only one.

The ends of the device are abundant perforated, which prevents its filling from overheating at elevated loads.

How to connect?

The connection procedure is fully standard and includes the following steps of actions:

  1. Raise both antenna in the vertical position;
  2. In the Internet port insert cable from the provider. This connector is in the rear of the router and signed "Internet", and it also has a characteristic color of blue;
  3. PC Connect the patch cord to one of the ports "home network", painted in yellow;
  4. Power adapter plug Install in the appropriate round connector and supply power;
  5. Press the power button.

Setting procedure

Even if the user has never had to configure such devices, then in the case of this router of difficulties, it usually does not occur almost no one. Developers provided a very convenient introduction of the device to work. On the sticker under the device, the main parameters for input in the router interface are prescribed.

Already, by default, a rather reliable key is specified, but it still recommends it and the name is changed to self-invented by the user. And also before the setup procedure, start with the installation of an updated firmware from the resource: "https://zyxel.ru/".

To set up the device, the following sequential steps should be made:


  • the first is recommended to use beginners, in accordance with it, in the menu that appears, you must click "Fast Settings". The wizard will quickly hold the user in all stages of entering parameters;
  • the second will be convenient to advanced users to perform fine tuning (click on the "Web Configurator" button).

Thin tuning

The algorithm of action consists of the following steps:
