How does an Internet modem work for the Eta company?

It receives a 3G and 4G signal, converts it and transmits it to an electronic device via USB or Wi-Fi. One of the main advantages is stable signal even when moving in vehicle at a speed exceeding 100 km/h.

We will look at how to set up a yota modem and activate it in this post.

As part of the instructions, we will consider only the 3 most popular receiver models.

If you are not very well versed in technology, you probably have a question: so what to choose? Let me explain the main difference between a modem and a router: router distributes the Internet via Wi-Fi to many devices, and modem connects via USB to one device and distributes the Internet only to it.

Therefore, if you only need Internet for your laptop when traveling or a desktop computer, you can safely choose the Iota 4g modem. The modem is also suitable for a tablet, but it will be inconvenient to use.

If you need Internet for your car or while relaxing in nature or at the dacha, choose a Yota wi-fi router. It can work without power for 6 hours.

If needed wireless Internet in a large house or apartment, the powerful Yota Ready 4g LTE router is the ideal choice.

Many people have a question about how to set up a yota modem, but despite this, everything is much simpler than it seems. All devices are connected in a similar way, only the Yota Many modem has a difference; it can be connected via a Wi-Fi connection.

1. Connect the modem to a free USB connector on your device.
2. After recognizing the modem, all necessary drivers will be installed automatically.
3. After some time, a new network will appear in the network control panel.
4. Launch any browser and go to any web page.
5. You will be redirected to the registration page where you need to register.
6. After registration, you will be able to top up your account and select the desired Internet speed.
7. Installation is complete, Yota Internet has appeared in your home!

After installing the software for modem devices working with a WI-FI network, we strongly recommend that you change the standard password and set protection to Wi-Fi network. It is also recommended to enable AES encryption of the Wi-Fi network.

If you started the 4g modem for the first time or after some time it stopped connecting to the network, this could be due to:

1. The modem is out of order and has malfunctions.
2. You are outside the 4g network coverage area.

If the modem is faulty, you need to take it for repair, where a specialist will give his verdict and tell you whether it is possible to repair your Yota modem. Previously, before going to service center We recommend that you dial and report your problem. Perhaps a qualified specialist from the company can help you solve your problem. It often happens that people bring working modems for repair. The reason for this may be the second variant of the problem. To solve this problem, sometimes it is enough to move the device to a place where the network signal is stronger. I also recommend that you restart your computer. Very often this helps to restart the modem.

Please note that the manufacturer does not provide any guarantees for the correct operation of modems on very old versions of Windows OS.

Instructions

Once I had the opportunity to rent an apartment for a couple of years in the town of Krasnogorsk near Moscow. More precisely, not an apartment in the usual sense of the word, but a two-story cottage in the Vakhtangovets SNT. This is on the very outskirts of the forest near the village of Opalikha. A large, cozy fenced area, everyone has a remote control with a button to open the gate. The watchman greets you and kindly inquires about your health. Everything was great, but there was no wired Internet there. But at that time I had some kind of modem from Megafon. I tried to connect - the laptop works, but the desktop computer does not. At that time he was no longer young and was not familiar with all kinds of equipment. But “Yota” somehow attracted his attention.

The modem itself looked a little different at that time. Now I'll take a photo and show you...

Old modem "Yota"

Here, I now have such a rarity. Some time passed and everyone was voluntarily and compulsorily invited to the nearest offices for a planned replacement of modems with new ones. It’s good that they didn’t take any money for it yet. New modems were given out free of charge. And as you can see, they didn’t even take the old ones. In a functional sense, they have become completely useless.

By the way, the amplifiers for these modems, with which the Mitinsky Radio Market was saturated, turned out to be completely meaningless. New modem - new standard. Probably today there are already amplifiers for new devices, but we moved to Mitino again and there are no such problems with communication as there were in Krasnogorsk. Here, this miracle of technology picks up the signal normally, unless there are problems of a global nature - in the Yota network itself.

Modem "Yota" is installed in "Netbook"

It can be connected directly to a “laptop” or “netbook” like this. It is very convenient to take with you on trips around the city. In particular, today I had a need to use the Internet at the customer’s premises. I downloaded the invoice for the goods, checked the prices, added my percentage and showed it to the client. Everything suited him. And after this agreement, I went to the supplier to order. About three hours later my partner already received it. This is taking into account Moscow traffic jams

And at home, even in addition to work issues, the modem is one hundred percent busy. My son and his girlfriend are communicating in their room via Skype. After work, my wife grows some kind of money tree in Odnoklassniki. I, too, don’t devote all my time to writing reviews, but sometimes I can play “Poker.” Or I just work with my own websites (if anyone is interested, I’ll tell you the addresses). But, my friends, for these purposes we have a router at home. What would it be like without him? Well, you can’t install a modem for everyone. Here we pay for one, but three of us use it. Unless, of course, none of the neighbors have figured out the password yet

Modem "Yota" in the router "ZyXEL"

Everything is good, although still a little expensive. I received a letter from Yota - they write that they installed new equipment and it is not necessary to pay a thousand, that the same speed will be available for nine hundred rubles. I naively believed them and switched to another tariff. And my wife is a modest Caucasian woman. She was silent for three days. But one evening she couldn’t stand it - she said that the pages on her “netbook” took half an hour to open. I had to immediately return to the old version - everything worked.

The idea of ​​switching to wired Internet. After all, it's twice as cheap. But it happens quite often that you need access to the Internet outside the apartment. What should I do? You can’t drag the cable with you. So, we have to put up with it.

The Yota operator will replace modems that are no longer supported by the OS X operating system for free. This is reported with reference to the company’s PR director Lina Udovenko.

After installing OS X El Capitan, users began to complain about the incompatibility of Yota modems with the new OS. Izvestia journalist Vladimir Zykov wrote about this in particular. On his Facebook page, he said that “one big company” that uses Yota modems and SIM cards for corporate purposes updated the operating system on the Mac, after which the modems stopped working. But Yota refused to replace the devices free of charge, since “the warranty period and service life of the modems have already expired” “and there are no grounds for replacement.”

“#Yota technical support says that guys, it’s Apple’s fault, they stopped supporting new version these modems and since the error is not on the part of Yota, but on the part of Apple, buy our new modems,” he writes. And then “one company” decided to use SIM cards from another operator.

Udovenko replied that the problem lies in the Apple USB host driver, and if you replace the SIM cards, nothing will work anyway. According to her, the Cupertino company has problems with compatibility with a number of devices, adding that Yota invited the company to jointly resolve the issue, but has not yet received a response. Later, Udovenko stated that Zykov’s problem had been solved, and Yota decided to replace the old modems with new ones.

There is no word on how long the program will last. It will not be announced publicly, but the replacement will be made “for everyone who has this model and wants to change it.” Udovenko noted that in this moment modems compatible with OS X El Capitan have run out, but will be available starting next week new batch for replacement.
