In this manual, we will look at connecting and configuring a budget ZyXEL Keenetic Start router. ZyXEL routers have Russified simple and clear interface, and are also equipped detailed instruction in Russian. Therefore, their configuration will not cause difficulties even for novice users.

How to connect a ZyXEL Keenetic Start router

The router has a standard interface similar to devices from other manufacturers. On the back panel there is a blue WAN port for connecting to the Internet, four LAN ports, a power supply connector, power and reset buttons.

We connect the cable coming from the Internet provider or ADSL modem to the WAN port. We connect one of the LAN ports with a yellow patch cord, which is included in the delivery package of the router, to the network card of your PC. We connect the power supply cord, and the unit itself - to the 220V network. Turn on the router with the button on the back panel. The indicators on its front panel should light up.

Indication

On the front panel of the ZyXEL Keenetic Start are LED indicators that allow you to control the operation of the router.

  • The Power indicator shows that the power is on
  • Port LEDs 0 to 4 show port activity. 0 is WAN port, 1-4 are LAN ports
  • The Wi-Fi indicator is responsible for the activity of the wireless network
  • Internet connection indicator in the form of a globe shows whether there is a connection to the network at the moment
  • The last indicator shows whether any device is currently connected to the USB port of the router, if such a port is present in your model

When you turn on the router, at least the indicators for the power, WAN port, and one of the LAN ports should light up. If none of the lights are on, check if the power button on the back of your device is disabled. If the indicators are on, you can proceed to the setting.

How to set up a router

The ZyXEL Keenetic Start router is configured through the device's web interface. To enter it, you will need those indicated on the label pasted on the bottom.

For ZyXEL routers, the web interface access address looks like 192.168.1.1 or my.keenetic.net. Enter this address in the line of your browser and press Enter. The panel login window should appear. The default login and password is admin/admin.

If your ISP is configured to bind the connection to the MAC address, then the configuration must be carried out from the computer on which the Internet was previously connected and configured.

Quick Setup

In the latest firmware versions, there is a "NetFriend Quick Setup" button in the upper right corner. If it is present in your firmware, you can use it to start the wizard quick setup. It will guide you step by step to set up your internet connection.

In the first window, you will need to enter the MAC address, if required by your ISP. The MAC of your PC, to which the Internet is tied, can be found by typing in command line ipconfig /all. In the output, we are looking for "Ethernet Ethernet Adapter", in the line "Physical Address" the MAC address we need is displayed.

Next, sequentially enter the IP address, if necessary, as well as the username and password. These parameters must be provided to you by your ISP. After completing all the steps, the router will show all the settings you entered. Check them and, if all the parameters are correct, click on the "Web configurator" button. The setup wizard will apply the new settings and offer to replace the standard password for accessing the device web interface with a new one. This is worth doing for security reasons.

Router setup is complete.

Manual setting

If your firmware does not have a quick setup wizard or if you need to change some settings, you can configure your router manually.

Internet connection

We open the web interface, go to the "Internet connection" item (the second button on the toolbar at the bottom of the page) and get to the "Connection to the Internet and other networks" page. This will list all connections on your device. But if you have not configured anything yet, then this list will contain only one item - “Broadband connection”. It will be marked with a red icon, which means: the connection is not configured. We double-click on it and see the settings window in front of us.

On ZyXEL routers, there is a convenient option - manually assign a WAN port. This can be useful if, for example, a thunderstorm causes the default port to fail. If the port is working, there is no need to change anything.

Below you need to enter the data provided by the provider - MAC, login, password, etc. Then click the "Apply" button. Internet connection is set up. The icon next to it should turn green.

This method works for most providers, however, in some cases, for example, when connecting to the Internet from Beeline or Rostelecom, you will need to configure the settings in a different way.

Setting up PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP

Some providers use PPPoE, L2TP or PPTP protocols to connect to the network. Consider step by step setup such a connection using PPPoE as an example.

On the Internet settings page, which is displayed as a globe, go to the PPPoE / VPN tab and click the "Add connection" button. A settings window will open, in which you need to select the type of connection from the drop-down list. In this case it will be PPPoE.

Below you need to enter your login, password, IP address. All this data must be provided to you by the provider. In the "Connect via" field, select "Broadband connection".

After all the required fields are filled in, click the "Apply" button.

L2TP and PPTP connections are configured in the same way.

If your provider provides a static IP address for connection, which is rare, you need to configure such a connection in the IPoE tab.

WiFi setup

The wireless network on your router works by default, you do not need to configure it additionally. The network name and password (network key) are on the label on the bottom of the machine. It is not necessary to change them. However, if you decide to do this, use the "Wireless Network" button (the fourth on the toolbar at the bottom). On the "Access Point" tab, change the desired settings and save the changes.

If you have already used a router with standard wireless network settings before, then on all devices that use a Wi-Fi connection, you will need to enter a new password.

Some users confuse menu items and try to set up a wireless network on the Internet connection page in the Wi-Fi tab. This is a common mistake. On this tab, settings are made if your router will receive Internet via Wi-Fi from another router or access point.

Setting up IPTV

If IPTV on your device does not work automatically, you also need to configure it. To do this, go to the "Home Network" section (the third button on the bottom toolbar) and on the IGMP proxy tab, check the box next to the "Enable IGMP proxy" item.

This is enough for the IPTV function to start working on your device.

Change access password

In order to change the username and password of the device administrator, you need to perform the following steps.

Go to the "System" page (the penultimate button on the bottom toolbar) and find the "Users" tab there. If you have not created new users, only admin will be listed. Click on it with the mouse. A settings window will open where you can enter a new password and save the changes. Be sure to write down the password so as not to lose access to the device.

Setting up a home network

Your router is already set up to be used as a home network router. All devices connected to it will have access to network resources and connect with each other. You can view the settings of your home network, as well as a list of connected devices, on the page " System Monitor”, tab “Home network”.

If necessary, you can change these settings on the "System" page, "Setup" and "Configuration" tabs.

Troubleshooting

If the router does not work correctly, errors and failures occur regularly, you can track errors in the system message log. It's on the System page.

It will be difficult for an ordinary user without special knowledge to understand these messages, however, information from the log may be required when contacting the provider's technical support service.

In the latest firmware versions, the ability to diagnose problems with the router through the web interface is implemented. If you go to the "Diagnostics" tab on the "System" page and click the "Start Debugging" button, the router will perform advanced self-diagnostics and write data to a file that can be saved to a computer and sent to technical support.

Reset

If some settings have already been made on the router and they were made incorrectly, as a result of which the device does not work correctly, you can return the factory default settings. To do this, we find the "Reset" button on the back panel. It is small and deeply recessed into the body. To press it, you will need some thin object - for example, a paper clip or a needle. We insert the needle into the hole, press the button and hold for 10 seconds. All indicators on the front panel should turn off and then turn on again. The reset has been completed.

You can do the same if you lost or forgot your password, or bought a used router and don't know the password.

Keep in mind that in the event of a factory reset, you will have to reconfigure all settings manually or through the Quick Setup Wizard.

Firmware update

Hardware manufacturers update software for their devices from time to time. It often happens that you have purchased a router with already outdated firmware, and therefore you may not have any necessary functions in the settings.

With the ZyXEL Keenetic Start router, the update process will not cause difficulties and take a minimum of time.

If you are setting up Internet access using the setup wizard and the router will automatically connect to the network without additional parameters (this works for most providers), then at the next step the wizard will offer to install and download updates. You need to confirm your choice by pressing the button and wait a bit. The firmware of your device will be updated and you can continue with the setup.

If the router could not connect to the Internet on its own and you had to perform the settings manually, you can update the firmware in the same way automatically, using a built-in function. To do this, log in to the web interface. You will immediately be taken to the "System" tab, where all the current parameters of your device are displayed.

On the right, in the "System Information" subsection, there is an "Updates" item. Opposite it there will be an active link "Available" if there is a new firmware on the developer's server. Click on this link - the router will download the updates, install them and reboot. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here.

There is a third way to update the firmware, download and install new version from the manufacturer's website. This method is useful if you have an old firmware that does not support updating in automatic mode, or for some reason, the update cannot be performed in this way. Also, this method allows you to flash the device with an alternative modified third-party firmware. However, remember that by installing third-party software, you act at your own peril and risk. The manufacturer's warranty will be void in this case.

The firmware can be downloaded from the ZyXEL official website.

Please note that each router model has several revisions (hardware versions). firmware different versions incompatible. If you try to flash your device with the wrong firmware, it may stop working. Therefore, before downloading software, check the hardware version of your router. It is indicated on the label at the bottom, for example, Rev A or Rev B.

Download the archive with the firmware and unpack it into a separate folder.

It is strongly recommended that you flash this way only through a cable connection. During the flashing process, the wireless network may be temporarily disabled, which will lead to a disconnection between the router and the computer. As a result, the firmware will not be completed to the end and your device may not turn on at all.

Now we go to the web interface of the router. The System page has a Files tab. We open it and see a small list in which we find the firmware. This is the firmware file. We click on it and see a window with two active buttons "Select a file" and "Save" and an inactive "Replace". You can download old version firmware for computer by clicking the "Save" button.

For that, to update the firmware, click the "Select file" button and select the downloaded file of the new firmware. After that, the "Replace" button will become active. Click on it and wait for the process to complete. After the update software completed, the router will reboot.

As you can see, the ZyXEL Keenetic Start router is one of the easiest to set up, so any user can handle this task.

In order to get into the web interface of the router, you need to open your Internet browser and type 192.168.1.1, User Name in the address bar admin (Username), Password (password) - 1234 (provided that the router has factory settings and its IP has not changed).

Change factory password

For security reasons, it is recommended to change the factory password. Default: Login admin, password 1234. In the interface of the router, go to the tab " System", Further password. In field "New password" Enter a new password. It must be repeated in the next field. Next, save the settings by pressing the button " Apply».
