Installing your Keenetic

Connecting to the Internet via VDSL or ADSL

1. Using cables connect the “LINE” port on the Splitter to a phone socket, and the “MODEM” port to the “0/DSL” port on your Keenetic.
2. If required, a landline phone can be connected by attaching it to the “PHONE” port on the Splitter.
3. Attach the power adapter to your Keenetic’s power inlet and then plug it into a power outlet.
4. The Power LED should illuminate. When a physical DSL connection is established the Internet LED will flash orange.
   Note: If connecting multiple landline phones, always use microfilters (not supplied) to avoid DSL/Landline interference.

Connecting to the Internet via Ethernet cable
Keenetic Extra DSL supports an Internet connection via Ethernet line, but there is no assigned WAN port by default. Hence, assign WAN port via wizard setup in web interface or mobile app before plugging an Ethernet cable from your ISP.
If the contract with your broadband provider specifies a MAC address of another device, such as your computer, we recommend to tell your ISP the MAC address of the Keenetic before connecting. It can be found on the label on the bottom side of Keenetic. Alternatively, you may change the MAC address of the Keenetic during connection setup. If you have an IPTV set-top box or a TV that can receive IPTV directly, we recommend to connect it to the Keenetic using an Ethernet cable.

Connecting to the Internet via a 3G/4G USB modem
To connect to 3G/4G Internet you’ll need a USB modem. Place it near a window and make sure there are no obstacles between the modem and the window, to avoid weakening the network signal. If necessary, use a small USB extension cable up to 1 meter long.
Before installing the modem, disable PIN code request on its SIM card. You can do this using a mobile phone, by taking the SIM card out of the modem and temporarily installing it into the phone. Alternatively you can connect the modem to a computer and use the modem utility. Connect the modem with installed SIM card to the USB port of the Keenetic. When the modem is ready for operation, the FN indicator of the Keenetic will light on; then you can proceed to configure the connection. You can use a USB modem as your primary Internet connection or as a backup one in addition to other connections.

Working with USB drives

• Keenetic Extra DSL supports USB drives with Microsoft Windows file systems including NTFS, FAT32, and FAT; Linux file systems including EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4; and Apple HFS+ file system. The Keenetic will automatically detect and mount a compatible drive. If the drive is not recognized, connect it to a computer and check for file system errors.
• By default, all the USB applications installed on the Keenetic are disabled, except the Windows network file server. To run the Transmission torrent client, UPnP AV/DLNA or FTP server, you must first connect a USB disk, and then set up these applications in the corresponding section of the web interface.
• Access to the file server from computers and mobile devices running Android, Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, or iOS is open by default to all users on the home network without authorization. You can change this policy and add Folder permissions control module to the Keenetic operating system to restrict user access to folders.
• To use a USB drive as a backup drive with Time Machine, install and enable Apple network application in the Keenetic, and setup the shared folder that will be used for backups on the USB drive.
• To prevent data corruption on the USB drive, follow these guidelines:
  • Do not use flash drives for Transmission torrent client and torrents downloading.
  • Do not remove the USB drive during operation. Before removing, press the FN button and wait until the corresponding FN indicator goes out.
  • If the drive does not have enough power from the USB port and it gets disconnected under heavy use, connect it to an external power supply via a USB hub.
