ISP to the «0» port on the Keenetic.
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.
Internet
Keenetic Omni
Connecting to Internet
using DSL or PON
If you have a DSL modem or GPON modem
already installed, connect its LAN port with
port0 of the Keenetic using a network cable.
In order to use all the features of the Keenetic,
the modem must be in bridge mode. If the
modem is in router mode, contact your ISP
to put the modem in bridge mode before
starting the configuration process.
In this case the process of Internet setup
will not differ from the setup process for
connecting via a leased Ethernet line.
You can use the connection via DSL or GPON as
your primary Internet connection or asabackup
one in addition to other connections.

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.

Recommendations for safe use
⬛ The Keenetic is intended to be operated
indoors, in the conditions compliant with the
operation conditions as outlined in the Important
Information section. Do not use it outdoors, in
dusty or dirty rooms.
⬛ Remove all protective film before operating
the device.
⬛ In the course of the operation, the device
heats up, so do not install it in closed cabinets or
cavities, or near sources of heat. Do not cover it,
and ensure that nothing blocks the casing vents;
promptly clean the casing vents of dust.
⬛ Only use the power adapter supplied together
with the Keenetic. Do not connect the power
adapter if its casing or cable are damaged.
⬛ Connect the power adapter only to electrical
outlets in working condition, with the voltage
falling within the range indicated on the adapter’s
label. Unplug the power adapter from power
outlet during prolonged breaks in operation.
⬛ Never open the Keenetic or its power adapter
and never try to service them on your own. If you
suspect a hardware malfunction, please contact
Keenetic customer support.
⬛ To clean the device, use a damp cloth soaked in
mild detergent. Always turn it off before you begin
cleaning.
⬛ Avoid getting any liquid inside the Keenetic and
its power adapter. If this happens, immediately
unplug them from the power outlet and dry
thoroughly before reconnecting.
How to achieve maximum Wi-Fi speed
Themaximum link rate of 300 Mbps is
possible with 802.11n capable devices that
have 2x2 type Wi-Fi radio and configured
to use 40 MHz channel width.
Please note, that according to the requirements
of the Wi-Fi Alliance, devices can automatically
choose 20 MHz channel width in the 2.4 GHz
band, and since many smartphones and tablets
are equipped with a 1x1 type Wi-Fi adapter,
they will connect at rates up to 72Mbps and
the actual speed of Internet access will not
exceed 40 Mbps. The current link rate of
connected devices is indicated in Keenetic’s
web interface and in My.Keenetic mobile app.
The actual speed depends on the number of
devices in the Wi-Fi network and their distance
from the Keenetic. The speed can be greatly
reduced by obstacles in the signal path, as
well as other wireless networks and radio
interference in 2.4 GHz bandwidth, such as
microwave ovens or baby monitors. If speed is
unstable when strong interference is present,
it is recommended to set channel width to
20MHz in the Wi-Fi settings of the Keenetic.
For efficient Wi-Fi operation,
follow these guidelines:
⬛ Install the Keenetic in a room where you
want to ensure the fastest wireless connection.
Concrete walls greatly reduce the network speed.
⬛ Position the Keenetic antennas vertically so the
signal propagates in a horizontal plane.
⬛ To make the Wi-Fi network available outdoors,
for example around your cottage, place the
Working with USB drives
Keenetic Omni 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.
Keenetic by the window overlooking the part of
the grounds where you plan to use Wi-Fi most of
the time.
⬛ IEEE 802.11n allows the use of an open network
or a network with WPA2 AES security (enabled
by default). If you select WEP or WPA protection,
maximum Wi-Fi speed will be reduced to 54 Mbps.
⬛ Install updates for all your wireless devices and
laptops.
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.
If your Internet connection stopped working
Perhaps you just moved too far away from
the Keenetic and disconnected from Wi-Fi,
or the network cable between the Keenetic
and the computer got disconnected.
First of all check if there is an Internet connection
on other computers or mobile devices in the
home network, and use a network connection
troubleshooting program on the device
that cannot connect to the Internet. Check
the Keenetic settings for any configured
Internet access restrictions for this device, for
example scheduled connection restrictions.
If the Internet access is gone on all the
devices, check if the Keenetic’s
and (Wi-Fi) indicators and indicators of
the network ports being used are on.
(Internet)
Some issues may be eliminated
by a simple restart:
⬛ Turn off the power of the Keenetic and other
home network devices.
⬛ Verify that network cables are connected
properly. Replace the cables that cannot be
properly inserted and fixed in the ports.
⬛ Power on the Keenetic, wait for it to power up,
then turn on the other devices.
If the Internet connection is not restored,
contact your provider’s helpdesk and request
that the technical condition of connections be
checked, to ensure that there are no failures.
