Kit and appearance

Owners of earlier models immediately define a number of external differences that Keenetic Lite received. It is all the same black and compact router, but its antennas are now disposed of not behind the device, but on the sides, which simplifies the mount on the wall.

The bottom is done by glossy, the side panels are matte, and on top there is a corporate wave pattern. On the rear panel now there is a hardware switch mode. Indicators of work are on the front of the router and in active mode are burning with green light. They blink not so often, so do not attract attention.
