Wi-Fi router Zyxel Keenetic Extra II - Reviews

At first glance, there are no fundamental differences from older models. Still the same blue-white box, and inside - classic set: in addition to the router, the user receives a power supply, a half-meter patch cord and instructions.

The design is laconic and discreet. A black and white plastic rectangle will fit perfectly into the interior of both home and office. The materials are chosen perfectly - the top pimpled lid does not collect fingerprints at all. And in general, the assembly leaves a pleasant impression: nothing creaks and there are no gaps.







All the necessary indicators are located on the top cover. In addition to the connection status, indicators let you know about the status USB port. On the back of the device there are four LAN port and one WAN port.

The case is equipped with four extended antennas capable of operating on the MIMO 2×2 principle - this allows the router to better cope with signal transmission in multi-room spaces. The form factor allows you to install the gadget not only on a flat horizontal surface, but also to hang it on the wall. There are loops at the bottom especially for this purpose.

Works on any frequency

When developing Extra II, the manufacturer focused on functionality. Hidden inside the router is an inexpensive but reliable MediaTek MT7628 SoC chip with a single core operating at 580 MHz. There are 16 MB of flash memory and 128 MB random access memory. At first glance, it may seem that such a filling is not able to cope with high speed connection, but NAT and VPN software accelerators come to the “help” of the chip.

Four antennas allow you to divide the network into two segments: some of the connected devices will be able to operate at frequencies in the 2.5 GHz range (within 300 Mbit/s), and more modern gadgets, equipped with an 802.11ac module, - in the 5 GHz range (up to 867 Mbit/s). In these ranges, the device supports up to 16 non-overlapping channels, so the gadget’s capabilities allow you to set up a third or even fourth network, especially for guests, so that access to local resources is denied and only the Internet can be used.

The existing WAN port is capable of supporting speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s and this is quite enough for comfortable online viewing of movies in high quality.

Step-by-step setup interface

All control of the router occurs through the NDMS 2.08 operating system and through the web interface. Initial setup extremely simple - the installation wizard already has in its “memory” step by step guides according to the most popular settings methods. So the user can only choose a convenient guide. The rest of the settings algorithms can be found on the website - the manufacturer even provided many of them with screenshots.

IN latest versions firmware, a schedule has appeared - for example, you can configure the operating time of interfaces or limit the access of certain devices by time.

There are also modes for using the router as a signal amplifier or adapter (in this case, up to five devices can be connected to Keenetic Extra II). For each mode you use, the settings are saved so they can be reused later.

Additional functionality can be added to the router as components. Among the already available components are network filters Yandex.DNS and SkyDNS, protecting the network from unnecessary sites.

Keenetic Extra II is one of the most affordable routers in the ZyXEL line; its price at the start of sales does not exceed only 4,000 rubles. Nevertheless, the device demonstrates more than good performance. A user who purchases this model for home will certainly enjoy the ease of all settings and the ability to solve any network problem. The main emphasis is on working in the 5 Hz range, so the router is able to provide an uninterrupted Internet signal even on the most demanding devices.

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

As the reviews presented on thematic portals can attest, ZyXEL Keenetic Extra, in terms of characteristics, is one of the most functional devices in its segment. Let us now consider the features of setting the required parameters of the router hardware modules to ensure its correct operation.

Setting up the router: connection

Keenetic Extra, like almost any other device, is carried out by correctly connecting the corresponding device to the communication infrastructure that is installed in the user’s apartment or office. Despite the fact that the main task of the router owner is to configure wireless Internet, the initial parameters of the device will need to be set via a wired connection to the device in question.

But before this, you need to bring the router into a functional state by connecting to it an antenna, a power supply, and also a wire that connects to network card PC. In addition, you need to connect the wire leading from the provider to the router. As a rule, no special problems in order to bring the ZyXEL Keenetic Extra router into a functional state - user reviews may indicate this.

After the device is brought into working condition- turn on the power and wait for indicators to appear on the router case indicating that the device is working and receiving a signal from the provider’s network. If everything is fine with the connection, you can configure the ZyXEL Keenetic Extra router using the tools operating system.

Network settings in the operating system

First of all, you need to enter the “Control Panel” of Windows, then go to the option “ Network connections" In it you need to find the item responsible for connections with local network. You need to right-click on it and select “Properties”. In the window that opens, you need to select the option responsible for setting up the TCP/IP protocol, then click on the “Properties” button.

In turn, in the loaded menu you need to set the settings by which the IP address, as well as the DNS server address, should be obtained automatically. Now you can proceed directly to setting up the router.

Basic router settings

First of all, it makes sense to reset current settings if the ZyXEL Keenetic Extra Wi-Fi router has already been used somewhere before, since the options are within the scope of network infrastructure may be very different from those under which the router operated previously. In order to reset the device settings, you need to press Reset button located in the recess of the router case and hold for about 30 seconds. In this case, the router must be plugged in. Then you need to wait until the device reboots.

Then you need to re-enable software Windows. IN in this case in order to configure the ZyXEL Keenetic Extra router, we mainly only need a browser. Almost any will do, including standard Internet Explorer. You need to open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1. In the page that opens, you must enter the network administrator login - admin, and the password - 1234. It is possible that the combination of username and password, if the router was used previously, will be different. If this is the case, and the settings have not been reset, you will need to find out them from the previous administrator. But when you reset the initial settings, the default login and password are set - exactly the ones listed above. If everything is in order with the login data for the router control panel - the user will log in to the appropriate interface.

If the router WiFi ZYXEL Keenetic Extra was purchased in Russia, then the menu in the control panel of the device is most likely in Russian. If this is the case, then as soon as the start window of the panel opens, after entering your login and password, select the “Internet” option. Then you need to click on the “Authorization” tab. After this, you need to enter the correct data in the fields present in the settings that open.

Setting up a network connection: PPPoE protocol

Typical for many providers is a scheme in which Internet access is provided via the PPPoE protocol. If this is the case, then you need to select the appropriate option in the router settings. You also need to check the box next to the option responsible for activating the IP address for the WAN. But in some cases it is not necessary to set it - you need to clarify this moment at the provider. Afterwards you need to specify a username and password to access the network. You should also find them out from the provider or look at the contract for the supply of communication services, if you have one at hand. The next item in the network connection settings interface is MTU. As a rule, no changes are required to it. But, again, some providers recommend setting certain values in the appropriate option. Therefore, it makes sense to clarify this point by contacting the support service of your Internet access service provider.

Connection setup: PPTP protocol

Another popular mechanism for organizing network access is the use of the PPTP protocol. If this is the case, then you need to be in the “Internet” interface within the control panel WiFi router ZyXEL Keenetic Extra, select the “Authorization” option. In the window that opens, you need to select the appropriate protocol. After this, you must enter the address of the provider's server. As a rule, it is also fixed in the contract for the supply of Internet access services. If this document is missing - you need to clarify the relevant data with the provider’s support service. Similarly, indicate the login and password for access to the network, which are reflected in the contract or provided by the communication service provider.

Connection setup: NAT protocol

Another scheme for connecting to the network is using the NAT infrastructure. As experts note, this mechanism is one of the simplest in terms of implementation. correct settings connecting the router in question to the network. In order to set the required NAT options, you need to enter the “Internet” interface of the router control panel, then select the “Connection” option. Then you need to make sure that opposite the item where the settings for IP parameters are recorded, the “Automatic” option is activated. However, the use of this scheme is possible if the network infrastructure used by the provider allows it.

In many cases, the NAT interface functions provided that the necessary settings are entered into manual mode. If this is the case, then the user will need to specify the parameters, as well as the IP addresses, which are fixed in the agreement with the communication service provider. To do this, you need to return to the “Connection” item located in the “Internet” menu, then select the “Manual” option opposite the field in which the settings for the IP parameters are recorded. Then you will need to enter parameters such as IP address, network mask, configure DNS addresses 1, as well as DNS 2.

These are the main network parameters ZyXEL router Keenetic Extra. Setting up the actual wireless connection to the Internet is the user’s next task. Let us consider the features of its solution in more detail.

Setting up a wireless connection

In order to configure WiFi in the router in question, you must again go to the router control panel through the browser. After loading the main interface, you must select the “Wi-Fi Network” option, then the “Connection” menu item. After this, you need to check on the page that opens whether the checkbox next to the option responsible for activation is checked wireless access. Then - indicate the name of the Wi-FI network in the SSID field - whatever the owner of the router prefers. It will subsequently appear in the list wireless connections V network interfaces operating system. After this, you need to click on the “Accept” button and thus fix the settings.

After this, you need to return to the “Wi-Fi Network” option, and then select the “Security” menu item. Here you will need to record a Wi-Fi password. In addition, you must activate efficient algorithms data encryption. In the “Authentication” option, you must select WPA2-PSK. In the security type settings, it makes sense to set the mixed encryption protocol - TKIP/AES. The format to be set for network key- ASCII.

After necessary settings entered, you need to click on the “Accept” button. Then you need to save the changes in the router settings, after which it will reboot - this procedure takes about 1-2 minutes. Afterwards, the device can be disconnected from the PC and used as a wireless device.

So, we have studied how to set up a Wi-Fi connection on a device such as the ZyXEL Keenetic Extra router - user reviews may indicate that this procedure can be carried out quite quickly. As a rule, there are no particular difficulties in solving the corresponding problem, provided that the owner of the router has the information necessary to configure the device.

Let's now consider what users say about their experience of using WiFi ZyXEL Keenetic Extra in practice. Reviews of the corresponding device can be found on large quantities thematic online portals.

Excellent catching, no glitches, etc. I measured the speed via wifi - 82 megabits download and upload above 70! Internet fiber 100 Mbit.

Review

I was looking for a router for a store - several departments, the total area seems to be more than 200 sqm. The walls are brick. Internal - sibit and brick. Worth in grocery store on the refrigerator - on the right in office space through a thick wall it catches all stripes! On the left is a hardware store - there is also fishing there in all lanes! Only my brother has one at the very end of the construction store, and through a metal display case, if the door is open - 1-2, and if it is closed - it’s already bad, but the room is like a bunker. I had to run a wire there to a network of computers, since I was initially counting on wired connection. And in a grocery store, the online checkout works great. So it exceeded my expectations! Why did I choose Zyxel? Because this company has been producing modems for a very long time... I took Zyxel to my cousin’s apartment - it works great and works for a couple of years without interruptions. I also read the reviews - more positive. For office use, mikrotik is offered everywhere - it costs several times more. TP Link was offered - refused, it was painfully buggy. And so in my Khrushchev apartment, the ancient D-Link receives very weakly in the edges. But dir 620 has been working for more than 5 years.
