Routers mts. Tariffs for MTS modem. Which tariff is better MTS 3g wifi modem

To begin with, briefly what it is and what it is for. Everything is very simple. This is such a small modem that runs on miniUSB or on the built-in battery. Estimated run time is 6-8 hours. In practice, more likely 6 than 8. An MTS SIM card is inserted inside the modem. You are free to choose the tariff yourself (at the end of the post I will share my choice for residents of Moscow and the region). Included is the tariff MTS Connect-3. Its main task is to take a cellular network signal (GPRS / EDGE / 3G) and distribute it over Wi-Fi. Up to five devices can be connected at the same time. The ideal solution for providing Internet on the road or in the country. Also, this device will help you save money when buying an iPad without a 3G module. This makes sense if, for example, it is difficult to get an iPad 3G in your region, or if you have more than one iPad in your family. And in general, if the number of devices using the network is more than one, it is already worth thinking about buying.
So this is in theory. Now let's move on to practice.

The delivery set is a little disappointing. It includes: modem, battery, miniUSB cable<->USB, instructions, advertising MTS. There is no charger. Those. in fact, you can charge it from any USB, but you cannot charge it from a 220V outlet. Although if you have an iPhone, iPad or something else charging from USB, there will be no problems. The instructions also indicate that you can’t charge anything from anything and you need to buy a special charge. Not a word about where to buy. By the way, about the instructions - when reading it, the eye involuntarily stumbles upon grammatical errors and typos. Moreover, the instruction was written with the participation of MTS, because. a good half of her describes working with her own software. Surprising but true.

The modem is light, 30 percent smaller than the iPhone. When twisting it in the hands and lightly shaking, a creak is heard and the general laxity of the device is felt. However, this did not affect the quality of his work. From that moment on, good things begin.
There are 5 colored indicators on the front panel. They show signal strength, battery life and other useful information. It's not worth going into too much detail. The main thing is to know that they are informative and understandable. But I would still focus on one of the indicators. This is the roaming indicator. Recently, there have been more and more stories about “hits in a million”. Here, such problems can be avoided, since when you are roaming on the modem, the R indicator will light up, and connecting to the Internet will be possible only by pressing a special key. This is very convenient for those who like to watch Russian TV shows on vacation.

The first installation and launch of the device are simple to obscene. It is enough to insert a SIM card into the modem and you can already use it. The default settings are spelled out very sensibly, and without the need and knowledge of what and how to change, I would not recommend climbing into them. The SIM card in the kit comes with a disabled pin code, which allows you to immediately start using it in the modem. The password for the created Wi-Fi network is indicated next to the SIM card tray. In each case it is different. If necessary, all settings can be changed using the built-in http server 192.168.1.1, like any router.

The reception of the modem was very pleased. One of its advantages compared to USB modems is that if the signal level is poor, you can take it out to the balcony or put it near the window, while you yourself can be where you are comfortable. At my house, MTS in mobile phones catches a C grade. The iPhone has already forgotten what 3G is within the walls of my home. The same little box, as if nothing had happened, shows a stable 3G signal, and speed tests show that this is indeed the case. Given the constant problems with the signal and the first floor, it can be called very adequate.

As one of the "features" it is possible to put an SD card into the modem. In this case, it turns into a flash drive. Why would this be necessary - I do not know, but since there is - it is necessary to mention it.

However, my main surprise was something else. The instructions say that by connecting the device to a computer via a USB cable, it can be used as a modem. I have a Mac, and therefore I didn’t really count on the work of this feature. However, the reality surprised me.
When the device was connected on a Mac, a disk with drivers and the MTS Connect program was immediately mounted. A short installation, entering a password and you're done. The modem in the system is seen as native, the program calculates statistics, shows the balance, SMS, list of SIM contacts, allows you to make requests to the mobile operator, and so on. Of course, purely externally, the software does not correspond to the general Mac OS X style, but in this case we will not find fault with this.
The MTS Connect program provides modem diagnostics in case of a malfunction.

Other features I would like to highlight:

• the possibility of manual; automatic; or internet connection upon request.
• ability to enable encryption
• Energy saving (lights go out after a few seconds, Wi-Fi is turned off if there is no active connection)

I am writing this paragraph for residents of Moscow and the region.
Since I myself live in the capital, I will share my thoughts about tariffs. How different they are in other areas I don't know.
Initially, the set offers the MTS CONNECT-3 tariff. Moreover, in the first 2 months, the “Unlimited mini” service is automatically added to you with a discount of about 250 rubles. Initially, the account is 641r. and taking into account the promotion and discount, this money will be enough for you exactly for 2 months. You can see the details and restrictions on the tariff on the MTS website yourself. I decided to switch to the Super Zero tariff, because. it does not have a subscription fee and the BIT service is available. BIT is unlimited Internet for 199R per month. There is a limit on hourly traffic, when exceeded, the speed drops (5Mb / h), but it suits me. There is no such service on the MTS CONNECT-3 tariff. In order to go on your own, you need to insert a SIM card into your mobile phone, complete the request *111*25# and get a password to access the online assistant. In it, you can change the tariff and activate the service. The cost of switching to Super Zero is 90 rubles. But this is my special case, it may not be useful to you. After the end of the promotion, if nothing is changed, the subscription fee will be 590 rubles / month.

Results: In my opinion, the thing is very useful and necessary. The cost of the kit is 2,790 rubles, of which 640 rubles. already in the account. In this case, the cost of the hardware itself is a little more than two thousand, which is quite justified. Now this is my indispensable friend on the road and in the country, where I can connect both iPad Wi-Fi, MacBook, and a couple of iPhones to boot. For this money in our market you will not find anything better and more mobile.

P.S. If you have any questions, I will answer them in the comments.

More recently, mobile operators have announced that the Internet is now available as 4G. Of course, not all models of smartphones and tablets are capable of reproducing such a speed.

Mobile Wi-Fi MTS router has rounded edges. Along the edges of the device are connectors and ports. On the back panel there is a sticker with IMEI code, connection password and mac address.

The device turns on when you press the "Power" button, which is located on the front side. The battery capacity allows the router to work in active mode without charging for almost a whole day.

The main characteristics of a wi-fi router

Has the following specifications:

• standards: GPRS-EDGE 900-1800 MHz, UMTS 900-2100 MHz, LTE-TDD 2600 MHz, LTE-FDD 800-2600 MHz, Wi-Fi 802.11 (b/g/n);

• battery life up to 6 hours.

Setting procedure

Next, we will consider how to configure the MTS Wi-Fi router. It is possible to do it yourself, since the first installation is not difficult, but still requires some skills. At the first stage, insert the SIM card into the slot. The device works in the system, only with the SIM card that comes with it. If you use another, then the data transfer rate will be significantly reduced.

Next, insert the router into a computer or laptop. The system itself will find and determine the new equipment connected to it, and activate the installation wizard. If this does not happen, go to the menu and click the "Computer" button.

The router will show up as a removable disk. Open the drive and double click on the Autorun.exe file. Follow the next steps following the prompts of the Settings Wizard. After the modem is registered on the Internet, click the "Connect" button.

The router has its own control panel, available at the local address. With it, you can change the name and password of the network, set up a virtual server and exchange messages. It is desirable to enter the admin device from a computer or laptop. On mobile, the full version is not displayed.

Wireless 3G Internet from MTS is able to provide sufficient speed so that several people can surf the web. Until recently, it was quite difficult to implement this technically, because you needed at least a computer with an MTS Connect 3G modem connected, turned into an access point. Now "sharing the Internet" has become much easier: with support for USB modems.

Read a detailed review of the novelty and its capabilities below.

Thanks to the new router, users of the MTS Connect 3G service can provide high-speed wireless Internet to all their mobile devices that support Wi-Fi technology. At the same time, the TL-MR3020 router is quite compact, and it can be connected to any power source with a standard USB output.

The package bundle of the device, in addition to the disk for quick setup, also includes a power supply, an Ethernet cable (for initial setup) and a Y-shaped USB cable for power (these are standard for 2.5-inch external hard drives). The connector in the router is standard - miniUSB. Therefore, problems with finding a new cable should not arise.

The router itself is a small cube with dimensions of 74x67x22 mm and a weight of about one hundred grams. Most of its ports are concentrated on one face:

The router can work in three modes, which are selected by the corresponding switch. These are a WISP client router (for building a wireless provider network), a portable access point and a 3G router. MTS Connect 3G users will need the last two. In portable hotspot mode, TL-MR3020 is a normal wireless router. If you need it to work with a wireless modem, then you need to switch the gadget to 3G router mode and connect the MTS Connect 3G USB modem to this connector:

The whole system will look something like this:

A feature of the TL-MR3020 is ease of setup: just connect a USB modem, turn on the Wi-Fi network, and you can distribute the Internet. To do this, the router "knows" a lot of modems. However, not everything is known to him yet, for example, the WeTelecom WM-D300 turned out to be too new.

The router "saw" the modem, but could not identify it. This is a common situation, and in this case, you need to visit the router manufacturer's page and download a special bin file with settings. But the fact is that the WM-D300 modem works in a slightly different way. And, unfortunately, there is no such file for it yet. A list of all currently compatible modem models is available. Therefore, we used the AC5710 gadget manufactured by ZTE as a test modem. This is one of the most popular modems due to its remote antenna and support for RUIM cards. But its main advantage is that it has already been tested by time and is supported in almost any equipment.

After the modem is connected to the router, the latter needs to be configured - enter the Wi-Fi password, create a list of gadgets allowed to connect, and other standard features. To do this, you need to connect the router to the computer with an Ethernet cable from the kit and enter its web interface. The latter can be done by typing its IP address (192.168.0.254). The system will immediately ask you to enter your username and password. By default for TL-MR3020, this data is the same and is the word "admin":

In order for the router to automatically connect to the MTS Connect 3G Internet, you need to check the corresponding options in the Network-3G / 4G section:

A little lower are the "Advanced Settings" and "Modem Settings" buttons. The first one allows you to set a dial-up number, login and password (these data are issued when registering an MTS Connect 3G contract). And the second is to download the bin file for an unknown modem into the router's memory.

After the setup is completed, you can connect to a wireless network and enjoy the benefits of the Internet using CDMA-450 technology.

Here are the results of the popular Speedtest.net test (it has become the de facto standard for checking the speed of Internet access) for MTS Connect 3G at traditionally busy times.

A modern person can hardly imagine his life without the Internet, which is necessary for both work and entertainment. In order to access the Internet at any time and anywhere, many people prefer to use modems. They are simple and easy to use, you can take them with your laptop on a trip. MTS offers its customers the most modern modems with 4G and WI-FI network support. To purchase the best option, you should take into account some important aspects, as well as know the Internet tariffs for the MTS modem, which allow you to reduce communication costs.

What are the MTS modems?

On the official website of the MTS company in the "Mobile Internet" section, the following modems are presented:

First, traffic from the “100 GB per day” package is used, then 60 GB provided as part of another Internet service worth 2598 rubles are spent. After that, it is necessary to replenish the balance in order to be charged for the "Internet VIP" option.

Tariff for modem MTS Connect 4

Before purchasing a modem or router, it is advisable to read the description of the MTS Connect 4 tariff that comes with the kit. The cost of MTS Connect 4, which is sold together with the modem, is 2600 rubles. It is recommended to immediately select one of the options for the Internet, since without active services, the subscriber pays 3 rubles for each MB of traffic.

The tariff plan is designed for data transfer, and making calls will be less profitable. So, outgoing calls to MTS numbers and other operators in the home region will cost 4 rubles per minute. Calls to landline numbers - 5.5 rubles per minute, to other regions of Russia on MTS per minute - 5 rubles, to numbers of other Russian operators - 14 rubles per minute.

What options can be connected on the modem?

Depending on the needs, each owner of the MTS modem can choose for himself one of the most suitable Internet options. They differ in the amount of Internet traffic provided and the cost.

Unlimited Internet for MTS modem 4 Mbps and 3 Mbps

If the client needs to constantly access the Internet, but the high speed of the MTS Internet for the modem is not so important for him, then the “Internet 4 Mbps” option is the best fit. The option allows you to watch movies and listen to music without traffic restrictions. The monthly fee for the service is 750 rubles.

What is the best unlimited Internet tariff for an MTS modem?

It is quite difficult to choose the best unlimited Internet 4g MTS for a modem. For some subscribers, 7 GB per month will be quite enough, while for others, even 30 GB of traffic will not be enough. Basically, most users prefer to connect the "Internet-VIP" and "Internet-Maxi" options. But due to the fact that MTS offers a wide range of Internet options, everyone will be able to find a suitable option in terms of traffic quota and price.

3G / 4G router MTS creates a Wi-Fi network to which you can connect any device from a laptop to a tablet or even a smart TV. In fact, the MTS 3G / 4G router is a hybrid of a 3G / 4G modem and a modem-enabled router, but it compares favorably with such a combination of two devices with a built-in battery and compact size.

3G/4G router for MTS

Any 3G / 4G router that can be bought in the GSM-Repeaters.RU online store is guaranteed to work with the MTS operator. In addition, routers from our store will compare favorably with branded 3G / 4G MTS routers by compatibility with absolutely any mobile operator. This means that if necessary, you can change the MTS SIM card and buy a card from another operator offering more interesting prices for the Internet. Also, the possibility of changing the operator will be relevant for trips abroad and when traveling in Russia, when the prices for mobile Internet from local operators are much lower than from your main operator in roaming.

Where can I use a 3G/4G router?

In the usual view, a router is an exclusively stationary device connected to the Internet using a cable. With the advent of portable 3G / 4G routers, this idea can be safely called outdated. A modern 3G/4G router is a stylish compact gadget with a built-in battery. The size of a modern router is so small that it can easily fit into a pocket or even a small women's handbag. MTS mobile 3G / 4G routers, which you can buy on our website, can work from the network, from the built-in battery and even from the car's cigarette lighter. This gives you the opportunity, which until recently seemed incredible, to be connected to the Internet from MTS absolutely everywhere. In the morning in a country house, in the afternoon in the car and office, in the evening in nature - you will always have your own Wi-Fi network with the Internet. It's really modern and extremely comfortable.
