I was presented with a ZyXEL Keenetic router. It had firmware Firmware-Keenetic-2.04 [BFW.2] C7.bin.
I was worn out with him. Netfriend doesn't see it. WI-FI was not turned off by the switch. I connected the Internet using a modem connected via a USB port, I set myself up myself during the day. Once 5 or more connected switched. Spat went to work. I watched in the evening I connected myself and the router settings appeared.
I bought a router-modem. I decided to connect via a wireless network in WISP mode. There is this function in the settings, but when trying to reconfigure all the settings were lost. And it was impossible to enter the settings. I had to constantly switch it to factory settings.
In short, I'm tired of all this. I updated it to the first firmware version Keenetic-V1.00 [BFW.4.4] D0.
I began to quickly connect and configure as expected. The WI-FI button began to work. But I was happy early when I connected a wireless router-modem in WISP mode, and all the settings began to go astray. I decided to try another firmware KEENETIC_V2.01 [BFW.0] B5. Updated quickly. Maybe she's not from this brand of router. Only now you can not enter the settings.
1. Broadcom Network Adapter Network Connection Details:
DHCP not enabled
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address 169.254.101.74
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
You cannot enter the settings. I tried to change the IPv4 address to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 - the same result. When connected via a cable, the computer writes "unidentified network".
2. When connected via Wi-Fi, the router is defined as ZyXEL_Keenetic_FFDOFO.
3. When you try to enter the router settings without a cable via the wireless network, the router starts to reboot. The same thing happens if you try to enter the settings through your smartphone, the router starts rebooting.
4. I tried to update through the KN-1310-Recovery program - it is not updated. The download start window appears, but nothing happens.
5. Tried another program tftpd64.464 to upgrade to firmware version 1. The result is the same - it is not updated.
6. The router continues to operate as an unrecognized network with a cable, and as a ZyXEL when connected wirelessly. Does not allow you to enter the settings.
Please advise what to do. How can I connect it.
Answer
Yuri, the router needs to be updated with firmware that fits strictly for a specific model, router revision. It is very important.
Honestly, I don’t know how you looked for the firmware and updated it all, if in the description of your problem you did not even indicate the model of the router and its revision. ZyXEL Keenetic is the manufacturer's name. The router also has a model. Revision of a specific device. All this is indicated on the bottom of the router on the sticker. I wrote about this in the article on how to update the firmware on a Zyxel Keenetic router.

How did this happen? Although, this is probably not important at the moment.
If the router does not respond to a factory reset and it could not be restored via Keenetic Recovery using this instruction https://help.keenetic.com/hc/ru/articles/214470865-How-recover-operating-system-internet-center then most likely it will have to be taken for repair, or replaced with another.
Perhaps the router was technically faulty from the very beginning, if it worked so inadequately.
On the computer, in the properties of the network and Wi-Fi adapter, I recommend setting the automatic acquisition of IP and DNS addresses.
