Setting up your Keenetic via the mobile application
The Keenetic application is designed for quick setup and management of Keenetic routers. The application will allow you to configure your device, update its operating system if necessary, reconfigure Wi-Fi settings, create Family Profiles to manage groups of connected clients quickly, manage built-in services, learn the status and current speed of the Internet connection, enable or disable the Guest Access Point, control all connected home clients, set schedules and much more. For each device, you can limit the speed or completely deny Internet access, configure port forwarding, and set the content filtering profile of SkyDNS, AdGuard DNS or Cloudflare DNS.
First, install the application and add your Keenetic according to the article 'Adding a router locally' or 'Adding a router remotely via CID'.
Launch the application and make sure that the router is online and available for management.
The Sites screen will show all the networks added to the app. Click on the site you want to connect to.
The site dashboard displays the volume of traffic sent and received by this site. You can get information about home network clients, create a family profile, and manage router applications.
The 'Network clients' section displays information about the connected clients.
If you click on 'Settings' (the gear icon) to the left of the 'Network clients' section name, you will see options for configuring the list of home network clients displayed.
For example, you can configure grouping or sorting of the list and enable speed limitation for unregistered clients.

In the Family profile, for a specific group, you can specify client devices, schedule, enable the Internet filter, and view this group's traffic statistics.
