For equipment setup questions, please contact
The Zyxel company for the Russian user needs no introduction, since in our market it is one of the leaders in the category of home network routers. This is largely the merit of the company's engineers, who, even after removing the model from sale, continue to keep the device firmware up to date. More recently, articles on the security of home routers have appeared on the Internet, which explains how critical it is to update the internal software of routers in a timely manner, because they can become clients of botnets, and the user himself may not know about it. On the other hand, Keenetic internet centers produced by Zyxel can be used for a wide range of tasks - Internet, IP-TV, IP-telephony, VPN. This allows users to choose a model that fully meets their current needs. In addition, all products of this line produced for distribution in the CIS countries are initially configured taking into account the characteristics of Internet providers in states or even individual regions. In many cases, predefined settings reduce the router setup time to a few minutes.
This time, we got a model of the Zyxel Keenetic III Internet Center, which is designed for reliable and convenient connection to the Internet and IP-TV via a dedicated Ethernet line by the provider. As in the case of most other Keenetic models, any modern types of connection to the provider are possible: IPoE, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, 802.1X, VLAN 802.1Q, IPv4/IPv6. Through Zyxel Keenetic III can be connected not only personal computers and laptops, but also smartphones, tablets, as well as telephones, SmartTVs, network drives (NAS), home video surveillance systems with Internet access, as well as many other devices running Android, iOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows . However, this unit has been developed in cooperation with and in accordance with the requirements of leading mobile operators CIS countries and allows simultaneous connection to several providers at the same time, which guarantees the stability of the connection to the consumer.
But among all the features of this model, one cannot fail to note the built-in digital telephony adapter. For its operation, Zyxel Keenetic III has a separate FXS (RJ-11) port, to which a regular telephone is connected. All other settings for connecting to a SIP provider are made in the Zyxel management interface. If earlier, to work with SIP, the user would have to buy a separate IP phone, but now, in a few minutes, you can connect a home phone with a landline number to this Internet center, which will work through modern digital telephony operators. It is probably very difficult to appreciate this possibility, because not everyone needs such a function. However, taking into account the fact that many Internet providers provide SIP service with free connection, and their communication tariffs are very attractive, we should expect a surge of interest in home SIP telephony in the near future. Therefore, Zyxel can be called a pioneer in this direction, because it offered such an opportunity for a not too expensive model of an Internet center.
Also, one cannot ignore more powerful antennas for wireless communication, which are installed in Zyxel Keenetic III. Due to the presence of omnidirectional antennas with a gain of 5 dBi, the coverage area and signal strength of this model are higher than previous generation Keenetic versions. But first things first.
Zyxel Keenetic III
On the front side there is a photo of the device itself and schematically depicted USB-disk and phone connected to it, which immediately emphasizes some of its features. And in order for a potential buyer to definitely pay attention to this Internet center, all the "goodies" of the device are listed in a bright red circle.
Naturally, having become interested in the device, a potential buyer will definitely turn the box over and here, on the back, he will see a listing of all the features of the Zyxel Keenetic III router. Moreover, the entire text is in Russian, which additionally indicates how complete the localization of the product is. The photo shown here shows all the connectors (and they are signed and highlighted in accordance with their purpose) that the device has, and the buyer can immediately determine whether this number is enough for him to connect all the network devices he needs.
The complete set of the Internet center does not cause any complaints and contains everything you need to deploy a good home or office network. The path is small, but very reliable and at the same time possessing a number of "tasty" features. The package includes: the device itself with two external omnidirectional antennas with a gain of 5 dBi each; instructions for use, which describes all the necessary steps for connecting the Keenetic to the provider's network; external power supply (12 V, 1.5 A) and Ethernet cable.
There is no software in the package, since all configuration is carried out through the web configurator, and the necessary instructions can be found on the manufacturer's website. All this is described in great detail in the instructions for use and should not cause any difficulties even for an untrained user.
The manufacturer's warranty for this router is two years upon registration of the device. Its dimensions are typical for almost the entire series of Keenetic devices and are 166 × 116 × 34 mm with a weight of 250 g.
The Wi-Fi wireless network control button is located on the top side of the Zyxel Keenetic III router. If desired, all buttons on the device can be configured individually using the control panel. All activity indicators are placed on the front panel. This arrangement is convenient if the device is on a table, but it will be very difficult to see if the Keenetic is attached to the wall. Indicators show whether the device is turned on and how reliably it works; which network ports are connected; is Wi-Fi working, is there a connection with the network provider to which the device is connected; whether the telephone line is active when connected to a digital telephony operator, and whether any device is connected to the USB port.
All the necessary data for connecting a specific device can be found on the back. Here are indicated: serial number, service tag, WAN MAC address, Internet address to configure (when you first enter, the wizard will automatically quick setup NetFriend, following the instructions of which the router is configured even by an inexperienced user), a Wi-Fi network and a password for it. It also indicates where this device is manufactured and the parameters of the power source it needs.
Only two Keenetic III legs are made with rubberized inserts. The other two are made with slots for the head of the screw so that the device can be mounted on the wall, and it does not often occupy a very scarce place on the table.
On the back side of the Zyxel Keenetic III are (from left to right): the "Reset" button (to restore the factory settings, you must hold it for 10 seconds); analog telephone port; five network ports, one of which is highlighted in color and is designed to connect to a service provider; power connector and power button.
And here is the USB connector (standard 2.0) and the Fn button, which is designed to enable any user-defined functions that can be selected in the web configurator and, by default, is responsible for safely disconnecting a USB drive from the router. This USB port is for connecting devices such as a 3G/4G USB modem, USB stick or USB printer. A list of compatible devices can be found on the manufacturer's website.
The ventilation holes of the Zyxel Keenetic III router are located on both sides and back of the device.
The hardware configuration of the Keenetic III router is based on the MT7620A (600 MHz) processor, 128 MB DDR2 RAM and 16 MB Flash memory for firmware storage. The processor has a small passive heatsink, which, however, is quite enough for stable operation and good protection against overheating even at high loads. The processor has a built-in radio module that supports Wi-Fi networks of 802.11n 2.4 Hz networks with a maximum connection speed of up to 300 Mbps. Support for USB 2.0 is also provided by the MediaTek processor. For telephony support, in this model, two microcircuits (LE89116QVC and Le89810bsc) manufactured by MicroSemi are responsible.
Main technical characteristicsZyxelKeeneticIII
Control interface
All models of the Keenetic series use the Linux-based operating system NDMS 2, which has been constantly upgraded by the manufacturer in recent years. The capabilities of these models can easily be improved by installing updates, new modules and extensions. In addition, for those who like to experiment, a branch of beta firmware versions with new components is available.
The available USB port can be used not only to connect a 4G modem, but also to connect external drive, which greatly expands the capabilities of the device, due to the appearance of access to functions such as a built-in torrent client, SMB / CIFS, FTP or DLNA server. These services do not require the user to install any applications, as they can be configured in the device control center.
When installing some optional components, bookmarks appear in the corresponding sections for configuring an IPv6 connection, as well as Yandex.DNS and SkyDNS Internet filters, as well as for advanced user rights management. On the other hand, the Keenetic router management interface has not undergone significant changes.
My. Keenetic– Keenetic control via phone
In the latest versions of Keenetic, a very convenient function has appeared for setting up and monitoring the Internet center using mobile application My.Keenetic. This application is available for free download for iOS and Android devices and, in fact, is a convenient shell for unified management of Keenetic devices.
At the same time, management of several Keenetic routers at once is supported, regardless of whether the user is connected through the network of the router or already manages it remotely (in this case, the cloud client function must be activated)
The application has a fairly wide range of opportunities to manage the router remotely. However, it should be noted that more “fine” settings can be made only through the web management interface.
For example, using My.Keenetic, you can easily update your device to the latest version or add required packages. It has all the basic features available in the standard control panel. Considering that many modern users prefer a stationary PC or laptop, mobile devices, control via phone or tablet will be a highly requested feature.
SIP Settings
Since Zyxel Keenetic III has the ability to connect a landline phone, there is a separate tab in the management web interface for SIP provider settings (an icon with handset). All settings are divided into four large menus, one of which is the main one.
This menu is used to configure the initial data of the SIP provider. It all depends on the provider itself, in some cases you only need to enter the SIP server and authorization data, and in some you will also have to fill in additional fields.
In this tab, you can additionally configure the settings for callbacks, auto-dial, anti-predictor, and others.
In the other two tabs, you can fine-tune the connection to the SIP provider, as well as some parameters of the FXS port - timeout, timers, volume, and so on.
There are a lot of settings, so the Zyxel Keenetic III can be connected to various SIP providers that require “fine” debugging. On the other hand, for most home users, all work with these tabs will come down to specifying the SIP server, password, and login.
A nice feature of Keenetic III is the ability to work with SIP telephony in additional access point and wireless adapter modes (switch through the web interface and have independent configuration files). In the first case, Keenetic III acts as a SIP adapter familiar to the market, without routing, connected to a wired Ethernet network. In this case, the built-in Keenetic wireless access point works simply as an add-on and can be disabled as unnecessary. Pluggable mode WiFi adapter even more interesting, because it allows you to place a landline phone anywhere in the office, apartment or building where there is wireless network coverage. Given the low-intensity traffic of IP-telephony, the “penetrating” ability in the 2.4 GHz band and two 5-dBi antennas in this case can be enough for very long distances or intricate obstacles.
Thanks to the widespread use of 4G / LTE networks, by adding a 3G / 4G USB modem to the Keenetic III (of which it supports many and can even automatically restart on power in case of a freeze), you can get a landline phone anywhere, regardless of the presence of traditional lines in the building connections. This is true for chain stores, small retail outlets, repair shops and other establishments. If you need to communicate with the PBX of the main office and protect the channel, you can use PPTP or even IPSec VPN - performance is guaranteed to be enough for IP telephony.
Testing
Testing wireless and wired network segments
The router was tested in three stages. It is worth noting that it is pointless to test the router in 3G/4G network connection mode, since the speed in this case will constantly change depending on the workload of the local base station. Moreover, since a separate USB modem is used as a receiver in this case, it may well be a bottleneck in such a test, so testing of this type connection is in principle impractical, since it will not reflect real data. At the first stage, the performance of the router itself was evaluated when transmitting data between WAN and LAN segments, at the second - between the local LAN segments and the WLAN of the router, and at the last stage - between wired local clients (LAN and LAN). When testing the data transfer rate between LAN and WAN network segments, we have added a test for PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP tunnel connections. For this, a special test bench was assembled based on the Intel Core i7 960 processor, in which three Intel gigabit adapters were installed: two external ones - PCI-Express x1 Intel 82574L and an Intel 82567-LM2 network controller integrated into the Intel DX58SO board. Several virtual machines running the Vmware ESXi 5.0 hypervisor were installed on the stand, which simulated various network segments, including PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP servers. Thus, we have reduced the number of additional computers required to test the router in various modes. A separate computer with a TP-Link TL-WDN4800 wireless adapter (2.4 and 5 GHz bands, 3x3:3 formula) and an integrated Realtek RTL8401E wired network adapter was used as a wireless network client. Previously, our tests showed that between different network adapters, if they support the same data transfer protocols, there is practically no difference in speed when used in wireless networks with a single router. Performance testing was performed using NetIQ Chariot version 6.7 special software. With this software, traffic was generated from one PC to another, while the speed was measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Test 1. WAN-LAN routing speed (wired segment)
Initially measured throughput router when transferring data between WAN and LAN segments without using tunnel connections. To do this, a virtual computer simulating an external network was connected to the WAN port of the router, and a computer simulating an internal network was connected to the LAN port. Using the NetIQ Chariot 6.7 software package, TCP traffic was measured between these computers connected to the router, for which scripts were run for 5 minutes, emulating the transfer and receipt of files, respectively. The initiation for data transfer occurred from the internal LAN network to a computer that was located behind the WAN port. Data transfer from LAN to WAN segment was emulated using the Filesndl.scr script (file transfer), and in the opposite direction - using the Filercvl.scr script (file receiving). During testing, the built-in firewall was activated in the device, and all traffic prioritization algorithms based on QOS, except for WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia), which is part of the wireless standard 802.11n have been disabled.
After that, a virtual computer based on CentOS 6 was installed between the router and the computer in the external network. The services of the PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP servers were sequentially enabled on it, and the router connected to it - while data was exchanged between the local client of the router and the computer imitating the external Internet. After that, the test was repeated, but with the addition of another computer that simulated a server in the provider's local network, that is, in fact, in this case, the Russia PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP connection mode was tested. At the same time, data was exchanged between the local client of the router and two PCs - a server on the Internet and a provider's server.
Immediately, we note one important point: providers mainly use hardware servers for tunnel connections, so in many cases the settings for tunnel connections vary greatly. We did not set ourselves the task of checking compatibility wireless router when working on tunnel data transfer protocols, but only tried to determine the possible data transfer rate in this case. In the properties of the PPPoE service on the server, the MPPE encryption mode was disabled. MPPC data compression and MPPE encryption have been disabled for the PPTP server. IPSec encryption has been disabled for the x2ltp service.
Test 2. WLAN-LAN routing speed (wireless segment)
At the next stage, the speed of routing was evaluated when transferring data between the internal interfaces of the router - wireless and wired. To do this, a computer was connected to the LAN port, and then data was transferred using the 802.11n protocol between it and another PC with a TP-Link TL-WDN4800 wireless adapter. Routing speed was measured in the same way as in the previous test. It is worth noting that connecting two clients in the 2.4 GHz band reduced the data transfer rate for each of them by almost half. Thus, the clients exchanged data with the computer connected to the LAN port, and there was no exchange between the wireless clients themselves. In all cases, in the settings of the access point on the router, the 802.11n mode was set with a channel width of 40 MHz, which assumed the inclusion of the WMM (Wi-fi Multimedia) function. Before testing, the sixth communication channel was selected, on which there were no other access points in our room, and therefore, the air was quite clean.
Test 3. LAN-LAN routing speed (wired segment)
This test measured the data transfer rate between two router local clients. Two virtual computers with gigabit network adapters were connected to the LAN ports of the router. Then, data was transferred between them, and the measurement of the routing speed in both cases was carried out in the same way as in the previous tests.

Based on the test results (Table 1), the speed of the wired segment, however, as well as the wireless one, is determined by the presence of a built-in 100 Mbps switch. Although the data transfer rate between LAN clients is higher than LAN-WAN data transfer, the speed remains very high (over 160 Mbps in Full Duplex mode). Of course, this speed is enough to work in the networks of most Russian providers, few of which provide speeds on the user port above 100 Mbps. For users connected via high-speed channels to the Internet and home network resources, this means that the router itself will not become a bottleneck in data transfer.
In the second test, it is worth noting the typical data transfer rate for a wireless client. For most modern models with 2T2R formula and theoretical speed of 300Mbps, real speed data transfer is within 150 Mbps, which is confirmed by tests (Table 2).
The results of the third test (Table 3) indicate that the router fully copes with its task of transmitting traffic in Russian networks. Simultaneous exchange between its client and two servers - on the Internet and the provider's local network. By speed indicators in tunnel connections this model can be recommended for use in the networks of most providers with tariff plans up to 100 Mbps. Note that when connecting through an L2TP tunnel, the speed is slightly lower than when connecting via PPTP and PPPoE protocols.
SIP testing
In order to evaluate the capabilities of the digital telephony adapter built into the Zyxel Keenetic III, we connected its corresponding service from the Moscow provider Onlime. The setup was carried out during the initial installation of the Keenetic router and did not cause any particular problems - you just need to select a provider from the list. Alas, Onlime was not in the list of supported SIP operators, so I had to add the data manually. To operate the phone, you only need to specify the address of the SIP registration server, username and password. It is worth noting that when the setup is completed, the phone has already started working.
Since communication is carried out via the Internet, we tried to load the external channel of the router to the maximum with the help of many clients. At the same time, calls were made from the connected phone to various phones (digital (Moscow) and analog (Moscow region) ATS). At the same time, the quality of communication did not change in any way over time, calls went through without any complications or delays. It should also be noted that we connected a rather ancient analog telephone, and it worked like a clock. It's hard to imagine why, but Zyxel Keenetic III supports not only tone, but also pulse dialing, although the first, of course, is preferable.
The only drawback is the lack of SIP settings in the My.Keenetic management shell. Data on the phone's operation can only be obtained from the error log, but most likely in the future this feature will appear in the mobile application.
In general, the work of telephony caused only positive emotions, because using this model you can get a very stable telephone connection and forget about the old analog lines, although the phone number will certainly change.
conclusions
Keenetic III, like all models in the series, left a good impression. Processor performance and memory capacity are sufficient for all basic and many additional features of the Internet Center. In addition to the presence of a port for connecting a landline phone, Keenetic III does not have any outstanding characteristics, but, in fact, such a task was not set for it, but at a price it comes out no more expensive than highly specialized VoIP adapters, which, however, are much inferior to it in network flexibility. Like all Kinetics, this model can also reserve several ways to connect to the Internet, which can be important for solutions that are critical to the availability of telephone communications. We see that Keenetic III can be in demand in the following scenarios:
1. Internet service providers that connect subscribers via Ethernet and provide telephony services may recommend Keenetic III as universal device access.
2. Home users who want to reduce landline phone costs can forego their existing telephone line and use Keenetic III to access the Internet and connect a home phone with a landline number through modern digital telephony operators.
3. Organizations using corporate IP telephony can use Keenetic III to connect remote offices and retail outlets via VPN or IPSec. With the addition of a compatible 3G/4G USB modem, Internet access, corporate network and IP telephony can be organized anywhere within the coverage of a mobile operator.
At the time of this writing, the average price of Keenetic III according to Yandex.Market is just over 3,400 rubles, which seems to us a very worthy denominator for the features described above.
There are many types of routers ZyXEL Keenetic. (Keenetic I, II, III, Lite, ULTRA, etc.). Although their interface is different from each other, the principle of setting is the same everywhere. If your interface is not the same as in the screenshots, do it by analogy.ATTENTION! After this action, the Internet on the computer will stop working (until the setup is completed). To keep this manual available, we recommend downloading it to your computer.
1. Connecting the router to a computer.
1.1 Pay attention to the ports of the router. One of them should differ from the rest either in position or in color. If all ports are the same, you need port "0" or "WAN". This is the "incoming" port. Include in it a cable that comes to your apartment from the entrance. The router should come with a cable that can be used to connect the router and the computer. To do this, plug one end of the cable into any of the remaining ports, and the other into the network card on the computer.
1.2 Reset the network settings on your computer to default. For this:
1.2.1 Find the icon in the lower right corner exclamation mark in the yellow triangle.
1.2.2 Right-click on it, then "Network and Sharing Center".
1.2.3 On the left, find and click "Change adapter settings".
1.2.4 You need to find "Local Area Connection". It may also be called "Ethernet", or like your network card model, depending on your operating system settings. Right click on it, then properties.
1.2.5 Highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4". The name may also differ depending on Windows, search for "IPv4". Please note that you need to click to highlight this item, but not uncheck it. Then click "Properties".
1.2.6 Check the two boxes "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". Then click OK, then OK again.
The router will ask you for a username and password. The standard login is "admin", the password is "admin" or "password" can also be "1234", if you can't log in, see the password on the back of the router. Enter them and click "Login".
1.4
When you first log into the router, it will prompt you to change the default password. This is done for security reasons. The password can be viewed on the last page of the agreement. Enter it twice and click "Apply". 
The next time you log into the router, you will need to enter this password.
