Today the popularity of the application mobile networks connections for Internet access are growing all over the world. They allow you to connect to the World Wide Web without using a Wi-Fi signal and at any time to join an online game, watch a video in high quality or find the information you need. The mobile networks of all telecom operators maintain an Internet connection and use information transfer rates that are not inferior to wireless networks. Accordingly, a new impetus was received by devices that facilitate Internet connection through the networks of mobile operators. One of the most popular are wireless 4G USB modems of the latest generation.
Lineup of 4G USB-modems from MTS
4G USB modems from MTS are currently one of the highest-speed equipment offered by mobile network operators. Their most significant advantage is the speed of information transfer and a huge number of base stations located in almost every settlement in Russia.
The Mobile Telesystems company is the leader in the number of LTE base stations designed for organizing 4G communications and operating according to the new wireless standard high speed transmission data for mobile devices. In total, the company has about 30,000 stations, which is almost 1,500 more than its closest competitor.
The lineup of 4G USB-modems from MTS includes two products manufactured by Huawei Technologies.
It should be borne in mind that the MTS Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi 4G USB modem differs from the MTS Connect 4G Wi-Fi router. Despite the general similarity of technical parameters, the modem creates a network only if it is connected to a computer, and the router has a built-in battery and can work autonomously from other devices for six hours.

Set the required startup parameters
- If necessary, connect additional Internet traffic packages.
Connect an additional package of services if you run out of paid traffic
- Set the network selection switch to the "Automatic" position. The choice of "3G only", "2G only" or "LTE only" should be made if there is a certainty that only a specific network operates on the territory, or if it is undesirable to switch to networks with reduced connection stability.
Determine how to select the network to which your modem will connect
- In the modem settings, enter the Internet.mts.ru access point, any username and password. Set the dial-up number * 99 #.
Enter the standard MTS access point address and dial-up number, login and password can be any
- Record modem information. Individual iMEI number may be needed if the device is lost, the firmware version will allow you to control its update.
Review and record basic modem data
It is always recommended to set the network selection to automatic... This will help you avoid unnecessary steps to configure the modem. It is recommended to set the choice of a network according to one of the standards only if there is no 4G or 3G network.
Setting the maximum speed of reception and transmission
There are several ways to configure the maximum speed of receiving and transmitting data over the Internet:
- Use a USB extension cable with the 4G modem extended to a higher point. This will enhance the reception of propagated waves, which, in contrast to surface waves, have greater noise immunity and propagation speed, which, accordingly, will lead to an increase in the speed of the Internet signal.
Connect 4G modem to your computer via USB extension cable
- Apply a homemade resonator antenna where you place the modem. Due to the reflection of radio waves from the resonator, a double effect of signal amplification is obtained and a higher speed is achieved.
Internet access speed may increase due to reflection from the surface of the resonator antenna
- Apply Kharchenko's antenna ("eight"), which will contact the 4G modem. The Kharchenko antenna works similarly to a room television antenna, creating a directing loop that amplifies the signal and the speed of its processing.
Kharchenko's antenna works on a different principle - it creates a guidance loop and amplifies the signal
- Connect 4G modem to the USB port of the router. This will allow you to additionally use a router amplifier and a fiber-optic network to relay the Internet signal. Since the speed of receiving and transmitting information from the router is quite high, the speed of the modem will accordingly increase.
You can increase the speed of the Internet connection by using the resources of the router
- Remove torrents from startup, which, when loaded with Windows, take a certain amount random access memory, which immediately affects the speed of the modem.
- Do not run web browser and torrent program at the same time to download information. The reason is the same as in the previous paragraph.
- Disable unnecessary add-ons such as Jawa Script and the like in your web browser settings. Add-ons also take away some of the RAM and interfere with the increase in the speed of the modem.

What problems and errors can occur when working with a 4G USB modem
The main problem that may appear during the operation of a 4G USB modem from MTS is the lack of access to the Internet. To eliminate it, you can use the following methods:
- Check the 4G coverage area on the map. To do this, on the official website of MTS, go to the tabs "Individual customers" - "Help" - "Service areas" - "Our card" and determine by the region where the base stations of the 4G network operate.
Restart your computer and launch the Connect Manager application
- Uninstall the Connect Manager application by opening the Control Panel on your desktop and going to the Programs and Features section. Reinstall it as described above.
- Call the support service at 8 (800) 250-08-90 or 0890 and report the problem. Get technical advice or fix the problem remotely.
In addition, other problems may arise:
Video: Troubleshooting 4G Modem Connection Problems
In my personal work with a 4G USB modem, there were also various problems that had to be overcome. Most often, there was a complete lack of an Internet signal when in a building, if it was located in a low-lying area. In this case, natural obstacles were added to the signal shielding due to the concrete walls. The most effective way out of this situation was to connect a 4G modem via a USB extension cable and take the device to a higher point. We also tried to create contact between the modem and the TV antenna using copper wire, but this method did not give the same result as using an extension cord. The greatest effect was achieved for the TV antenna, which was made independently, using a metal gasket from the engine. If the antenna is factory-made and does not have a wide reflective surface, then the efficiency of the Internet signal reception increases by no more than 15–20%. The antenna of Kharchenko or its analogs well amplifies the Internet signal and increases the speed. If you fix an antenna of this type on a wooden pole 3-4 meters long and place it on the roof of a house or on a balcony, then the radio signal power level and the speed of the 4G modem will increase by 40-50%.
These methods have proven most effective when working with low-power tablets, when the base station is not in the line of sight, and the built-in antenna of the tablet is not powerful enough for reliable signal reception. The use of a resonator antenna practically does not give the desired result. The signal using such a device can be amplified only if the distance to the base station does not exceed one kilometer and there are no obstacles in the signal path.
Advantages and disadvantages of MTS 4G USB modems
4G USB modems are relatively new devices based on next generation technologies after 3G. Compared to their predecessors, these modems have improved specifications and have both advantages and disadvantages.
- Benefits:
- high speed of information transfer over Internet networks;
- simple and quick setup software;
- connection stability;
- automatic switching between network standards when leaving the coverage area of \u200b\u200bany of them;
- the presence of a slot for a microSD card;
- availability of connectors for external antennas.
- Disadvantages:
- bulky dimensions, which sometimes leads to overlapping of adjacent connectors;
- not always sufficient coverage area of \u200b\u200bLTE base stations;
- high cost of the device and monthly fee;
- high power consumption;
- weak cooling system - when working in 4G networks, the temperature of the modem can reach 70 degrees.
Based on the advantages of 4G modems over their predecessors, it is safe to say that over time they will completely oust their predecessors from the consumer market.
MTS tariffs for a modem do not differ in a wide variety, since the provider has focused not on the breadth of choice, but on providing customers with the ability to manage communications. As a result, subscribers are able to briefly increase the quality of the connection in order to instantly download an interesting movie or important program to a laptop, without encountering difficulties and restrictions.
Currently, the mobile operator offers customers 2 different devices for accessing the network on computers and laptops:
- Standard USB modem.
- A device capable of distributing traffic via wi-fi.
An alternative solution would be to buy routers, the choice of which is much wider. At the same time, the cost of usb modems is 2600 rubles for a simple, basic offer and 2900 for a device that supports the distribution of gigabytes to other devices.
MTS tariffs for 3g / 4g modem
At this moment telephone company offers only 1 tariffication, which can be switched voluntarily - "for a laptop". The rest, no matter how profitable and attractive they may seem, are supplied only in combination with the equipment. Subscribers will not be able to switch to them on their own. This also applies to the Connect-4 plan, which is available only to a small category of MTS customers.
Connect-4
The mentioned internet tariff for the modem has been sent to the archive and is not available for installation. But people who bought a usb modem and a SIM card get the right to use the archive tariff. At the same time, the tariff plan becomes economical only after activation of additional packages (by default, "Internet for 14 days" is used). After the expiry of the mentioned 2 weeks, the subscriber is offered to activate another option on the company's portal.
MTS tariff for a modem for unlimited Internet for a laptop
As an uncontested basis for usb-modems, the operator offers the mentioned "laptop" tariffication. It contains:
- unlimited traffic at speeds up to 4 Mbps;
- outgoing calls in the home region - 5 rubles;
- sending SMS messages - 2.5 rubles.
The cost of the monthly payment is 800 rubles, while the exact amount of communication costs depends on the activity of the person making the calls and activating additional services to improve convenience.
Turbo button
If the user needs to temporarily increase the connection speed, he should activate the Turbo buttons by connecting them via personal Area... They remove restrictions and raise the level of connection to the maximum possible, within the technical capabilities of the operator. It is important to emphasize that it is possible to remove the restrictions (the cost in rubles is indicated in brackets):
- for 3 hours (95);
- for 6 hours (160).
The number of renewals is not limited, the main thing is that there are enough funds on the account.
What options can I connect?
Having understood the basic MTS tariffs for a modem in 2020, you should consider additional services for accessing the network. These options include:
- "Internet for a Day";
- "Mini";
- "Maxi";
- "VIP".
All of the listed offers include a pre-installed traffic package that you can use with virtually no restrictions.
"Internet for a Day" option
The first offer is advantageous in that it allows you to pay for traffic only on those days when the subscriber actually went online. The rest of the time the money is not spent. At the same time, a person is provided with 500 MB per day, the price of which is 50 rubles. Tariffication does not provide for other payments.
But it is important to emphasize that the described service has a significant drawback: it is sent to the archive and is not available for activation. Only those who managed to connect in the past, when the mobile operator did not interfere with this, will be able to use it.
Internet Mini
Mini is the smallest and most modest option that the phone company offers. It contains only 7 GB of traffic, which are provided to the client for a month. An important positive quality of the service will be the scope of the package. It is allowed to use the allocated limit anywhere in the country, the requirements and conditions of use will not change, and the connection fee will not increase. This does not apply to international roaming.
Internet Maxi
Maxi differs from the above-described MTS tariff for 3g modem not only in the amount of traffic, but also in the presence of additional privileges. The service description contains:
- 15 GB of internet traffic;
- unlimited Internet at night;
- a 30% discount on mobile TV from the subscription price.
For all of the above, the provider requires you to pay 800 rubles a month. Other payments are not provided for by the current rules, and the cost of calls depends on the basic tariff set for the SIM card.
Internet VIP
The next option, as the name suggests, gives users maximum freedom of action. It contains:
- 30 GB of traffic;
- unlimited during the night period;
- 50% discount on television;
- cost - 1200 rubles.
It is important to emphasize that the night period means the interval between 1 am and 7 am. It is at this moment that you can use traffic without fear of exhausting the limit.
How to connect unlimited internet for a modem?
There are 2 main ways to connect an unlimited MTS tariff for a 4g modem:
- Through your personal account.
- With a short USSD command * 111 * 3621 #.
Before connecting, you should make sure that there is a sufficient amount on the balance of the SIM card to charge the subscription fee. Otherwise, it is recommended to top up the account with a suitable amount.
What is the best tariff for a modem?
There is no optimal solution that can satisfy all users. That is why there are several large operators in the country, which is why providers are forced to regularly update tariff lines. Therefore, those individuals who are going to change the tariff set on the SIM card should be guided not only by the description of the conditions, but also by their own wishes and needs. This will allow you to make the right, balanced decision.
As part of this review material, the MTS 3G modem will be considered. This device is versatile and capable of working with both 2G and 3G cellular networks. When connected directly to a personal computer, it turns into a regular wireless modem. But if it functions separately, then it is a portable access point to the World Wide Web. It is to this universal and at the same time affordable technical solution that our material is devoted.
Equipment
Considered within the framework of this small review, it has the following configuration:
- Mobile hotspot with battery installed.
- Warranty card.
- Complete user manual in paper form.
- Proprietary interface cord, with which this device can sync system unit PC or charge via power adapter.
- Tray for installing a SIM card of a cellular operator.
- Starter pack.
- Power adapter.
It should be noted that there is no CD in the list above. But the need for its delivery automatically disappeared for the reason that the drivers, control software of the cellular operator and documentation are written on the memory chip integrated into the modem. As a result, there is no longer the need to duplicate the same information on a separate medium. In addition, most modern computers are no longer equipped with CD-ROM drives.
Specifications
The following technical specifications can be found in the MTS 3G modem with an integrated Wi-Fi transmitter considered in this review material:
- The wired USB port is for charging the integrated battery. Also, it can be used to synchronize the device with any personal computer and thus turn it into a regular Internet access point.
- Supported cellular standards include 2G and 3G. In the first situation, the highest speed can be 500 kbps and the device successfully operates in both GPRS and EDGE modes. In the second case, the peak exchange of information can already be 7.2 Mbit / s for upload and 5.76 Mbit / s for upload, and UMTS technology is supported.
- Built-in Wi-Fi transmitter allows you to connect up to 5 mobile devices to this modem.
- The type of SIM card to be installed is micro (standard). If necessary, you can put a USIM card with 4G support in the tray, but this will not give much benefit for the reason that LTE technology is not included in the list of specifications of this mobile device.
- Battery life on one battery charge is 6 hours.
Modem functionality
Essentially, this solution can work in one of two modes. The main one is a mobile point. In this case, the portable router turns into a kind of gateway. On the one hand, it is connected to a cellular network and already with its help exchanges information with the Internet. Moreover, the choice of one or another signal occurs automatically. On the other hand, up to 5 mobile subscribers can be connected to it, and the traffic consumed between them is distributed depending on their needs and capabilities.
An alternative use case is a fixed access point that is directly connected to the computing system. In this case, the hero of this review communicates with the cellular network, and the Wi-Fi transmitter is deactivated.
Internet tariffs for MTS 3G modems currently include a fairly large volume of traffic, but their monthly subscription fee is quite democratic. That is, such devices are excellent for widespread use. And both at home and in the office.
Setting procedure
The MTS 3G modem is configured as follows:
- We unpack the box and remove the device from it. Then you need to get the tray out of it.
- Next, we extract the SIM card from the starter package. We install it in the tray and return it to its place.
- We turn on the mobile access point and wait for the completion of the process of its initialization.
- Using WPS technology, we synchronize consumers and this model of a portable autonomous modem. The mobile network is then configured and operational.
In case of connection from a PC, it is necessary to install an additional set of drivers and diagnostic software. Then, using the latter, a connection to the Global Web is established.
Checking the functionality of the mobile access point to the World Wide Web
Unlimited Internet, MTS 3G-modem and the presence of a cellular network signal allow you to access the Internet almost anywhere. After the previous setup, you need to check the performance of the created Wi-Fi coverage. To do this, on any connected device, simply launch the browser and go to any information resource. Previously, on the latter, the Wi-Fi transmitter must be activated and synchronization performed using the special WPS technology. Experience shows that to date, the operator has minimized human participation in the process of setting up the router. Therefore, the probability of an error in this case is minimal, and no problems should arise.
Tariff plans
The following MTS tariffs for the 3G modem are currently relevant:
- The basic one is "Internet Mini". In this case, the subscriber receives 7 GB of traffic per calendar month at the highest possible speed. The subscription fee is 500 rubles per month. Upon the exhaustion of the previously specified limit, 150 rubles will be debited from the account, in return for which 1 GB of traffic will be provided.
- The mid-level segment is occupied by the “Internet Maxi” tariff. In this case, the monthly fee increases to 800 rubles, but in return the user receives 15 GB of traffic for the same calendar month. In this case, from 00:00 to 7:00 the volume of transmitted information is not taken into account. That is, 15 GB is used only for the rest of the day. If the limit is exceeded, 1 GB, as before, will cost 150 rubles.
- The greatest opportunities for the volume of transmitted data and information are provided by the tariff plan "Internet V.I.P." When activated, the user receives 30 GB for a monthly fee of 1200 rubles. Accounting, as before, is conducted from 7:00 to 00:00. In the remaining time, the amount of information is not limited. If the volume is exceeded, each additional gigabyte will cost the same 150 rubles, which are automatically debited from the subscriber's account.
The cost
You can also buy a 3G MTS modem. And even in a new state. At the same time, its price will be only 1,500 rubles. But again, it is no longer possible to purchase it in a company store, but only from third-party companies or individuals. In the used form, its cost will decrease even more and will amount to 500-900 rubles, depending on the condition and degree of wear.
Relevance of devices
Although you can still find an unlimited 3G MTS modem among various users, now it has been ousted from the shelves by new devices that are aimed at functioning as part of 4G networks and support LTE technology. In this case, the maximum speed can increase to 100-150 Mbit / s. At the same time, the price is practically the same. Also, such new mobile routers are backward compatible with 3G and even 2G standards. That is, they are able to completely and completely replace the models of the previous generation.
Therefore, those who use MTS 3G will still be using them until they become obsolete or fail. But when choosing a new access point, experts recommend paying attention to those solutions that can function in 4G mode.
Despite all the various methods of connecting to the Internet, there are still certain problems that lie in the means of more mobile communication. The fact is that most users, especially teenagers, lead an active lifestyle and are constantly on the move. It is not enough for them to have a fixed access from home, or a public Wi-Fi network that is distributed over a limited area. There is a need for a mobile means of connecting to the global network, which would be useful anywhere and would provide the user with high-quality access. It is the question of how to connect 3g to MTS that will be extremely useful to all those who wish to deal with the problem on their own.
To quickly access the content you want from your mobile operator, you can:
- Contact customer support by phone 0890;
- Visit any MTS office-salon, where experienced employees will help you;
- Use the Internet Assistant, for which go to the official website of the operator through the Personal Account.
Together with our portal, today many people successfully resolve issues as soon as possible, since experienced specialists offer visitors accessible and most informative work. Read on and fill with the necessary materials.
IMPORTANT: Do not forget that you only need to use relevant data that helps at the right time. How can I check this? If, for example, you were unable to activate this or that application, most likely it is better to go to the central portal of MTS LLC and see the updated information there. This is how many issues are resolved if the subscriber is at a loss why it is impossible to activate the services.
Mobile Internet Access Tool
This very tool is offered by one of the leading mobile operators in Russia - MTS.
