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
Keenetic Extra is an AC1200 Dual Band Smart Wi-Fi
Router. It provides link rate of 867 Mbps in the
5 GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
The link rate depends on Wi-Fi features supported
by a client device, including standard, number
of spatial streams and channel bandwidth.
The maximum link rate of 867 Mbps is available for
802.11ac capable devices that have 2x2 type Wi-Fi
radio and configured to use 80 MHz channel width.
Please note, that according to the requirements
of the Wi-Fi Alliance, wireless 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 72 Mbps
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 of a Wi-Fi network depends on
the number of devices, their distance from the
Keenetic, and interference. In the 2.4 GHz band
the strongest interference comes from microwave
ovens, baby monitors, and other (neighboring)
networks — in such circumstances, we recommend
selecting 20 MHz channel width in the Keenetic’s
Wi-Fi settings. For critical connections, use
the less congested 5 GHz band, but keep in
