A mobile 3G WiFi router is a wireless device with a SIM card that allows you to connect to the Internet anywhere in the world where there is a reception of cellular operators, and relay it wirelessly to other gadgets. Now it is the most mobile means of providing the distribution of the Internet without being tied to a specific place of connection (not counting the mobile one), however, it is less speedy and more expensive than the usual one. cable internet... Based on its features, it makes sense to set up a 3G router where there is a stable reception. mobile network, but there is no way to stretch the Internet via cable, so that later you can organize a wireless WiFi network.

What is a 3G WiFi router?

The work of a 3G router is that we get the Internet on it in the same way as our phones - with the help of a built-in SIM card of a cellular operator. And he, in turn, distributes it via WiFi to a laptop or other devices. Recently, such devices have gained great popularity, since it is autonomous, you can take it with you on a trip, to a picnic or to the country.

There are several types of 3G wi-wi routers for different purposes, which we will now analyze in detail.

Setting up a mobile 3G router from MTS

Now let's take a closer look at how to set up the Internet using the example of two samples.
The most popular device of the first type is the ZTE MF30, manufactured by the Chinese company Huawei. Almost all leading operators supply it with their SIM cards - Beeline, Megafon and MTS have definitely seen it. It's just that each of them sticks their logo, and the device remains the same. I will show it with an example from MaTERIS.

We open the box of the "MTS Connect" kit and look at the contents. The most important thing that interests us within the framework of this article are two types of setting up this 3g router: via a local network or in the program via a USB cable. I am an adherent of all manipulations through the web interface, and in this case it's as easy as shelling pears to do it! You just need to turn on the device and it will start broadcasting the Internet. The default SSID is MTS MF30. You will find it, as well as the login and password on the back of the device cover. Click on the icon network connections in the Windows tray, find this network and connect.

As you can see, you don't even need to configure anything, everything starts on autopilot. If we want to tinker with the settings, and also if we want to receive the Internet not via wifi, but directly from the router, for example, if the PC does not have a wifi adapter, then this is also very simple to do.

Therefore, we turn it on with the button, insert the supplied USB cable to the 3g router and computer and wait until it is detected by the system. You don't need to install any additional drivers. After they "make friends", a window will appear on the screen inviting you to start installing the software.

We of course agree, we run setup file the "Connect Manager" program, which must be entered after the installation is complete. The main program window will appear. Here we can check the balance of the SIM card and replenish it, but first of all, press the "Connect" button to connect to the router.

If everything went well, then now your computer is already connected to the Internet and all that remains is to configure the distribution of a signal to other gadgets. To do this, go to the router section and set the familiar network parameters - SSID, encryption modes, login and password for the connection.

We save the settings.

Now you can check through our favorite method - the web interface. We click on the icon of the network adapter, we find our new network, connect to it using the username and password you just saved. The internet should start working.

After that, go to the browser at http://192.168.0.1 and enter admin / admin to access the admin panel. Change this information later to secure the connection. We get to the first page, where information about the IP of the router itself, the range of masks and the inclusion of the DCHP server, which automatically distributes IP to all devices connected to it.

Similarly, work with 3g routers Megafon and Beeline takes place. Let's also take a look at Megafon. To configure it, you need to go through the browser at 192.168.1.1. Let's get to start page, where you need to enter the password indicated on the sticker on the lid of the router.

After that, on the following pages, click "Next" several times to apply the settings already built into the device. As usual, in the WAN section of the Settings menu, you can easily set the network name (SSID), login and password for connection.

I will also give some recommendations for saving battery power - after all, the duration autonomous work is a defining parameter when working "on the road". So, in order for the charge to last as long as possible, activate the "Connection Mode" on the "Automatic" on the device. This will allow the 3g wifi router to connect only when it is accessing a file or page on the Internet. And another mode that helps to save battery power is auto power off. If the router is not used for some time, then it turns off automatically and turns back on with the button located on the side.

How to set up a 3G router with Megafon support?

And this is a more advanced model, a cross between what we just looked at and a full-fledged router with modem support. There is already one LAN cable connector for embedding the router into a local wired network, but for its operation you need a separately purchased 3g modem from the same operator as the router itself. In this example, from Megaphone.

Wifi setup 3g router of this modification occurs in the same way as in the first case. Either we immediately connect to it via wifi, using the access data indicated on the bottom of the device, or we connect via USB.

Network name (SSID): MegaFon_3G_Wi-Fi_xxxx
where xxxx is the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th digit of the MAC address.
Password: last 8 digits of MAC address

For wireless access to the admin panel, use the address http: //router.3g, the login and password are original and this time do not differ - admin-admin. In the control panel, all this, as always, can be changed.

Similarly, the configuration of Huawei 3G routers is carried out, that is, the same units provided by Beeline, Tele2 and other operators - I think? here everything is already clear. The only difference is in the factory settings for a particular mobile network.

To restore the factory settings for any of the described 3g routers, there is a button hidden in a recess on the side surface, which must be pressed with a sharp object and wait 5-10 seconds.

Thanks! Did not help

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

For a detailed overview of the new product and its capabilities, read below.

Thanks to the new router, users of the MTS Connect 3G service can provide high-speed wireless Internet to all their mobile devices with the support Wi-Fi technologies... 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 complete set of the device, in addition to the disk for quick setup, also includes a power supply, an Ethernet cable (for initial setup) and USB Y-cable for power (similar are standard for external hard drives 2.5 inches). 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 74x67x22 mm and weighing about one hundred grams. Most of its ports are concentrated on one facet:

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 AP mode, TL-MR3020 is 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, he does not know everything yet, for example, WeTelecom WM-D300 turned out to be too new.

The router "saw" the modem, but could not identify it. This is a common situation, in which case you need to visit the router manufacturer's page and download a special bin file with the 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 ZTE AC5710 gadget as a test modem. This is one of the most popular modems thanks to the 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 hardware.

After the modem is connected to the router, the latter needs to be configured - enter wifi password, create a list of gadgets allowed for connection and others standard features... To do this, you need to connect the router to your computer using the supplied Ethernet cable 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":

For the router to automatically connect to the Internet "MTS Connect 3G", you need to check the appropriate options in the Network-3G / 4G section:

Slightly below are the "Advanced Settings" and "Modem Settings" buttons. The first allows you to set a dial-up number, login and password (this data is issued when the contract "MTS Connect 3G"). And the second is to load the bin file for the unknown modem into the router's memory.

After the setup is complete, you can connect to wireless network and take advantage 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 testing the speed of Internet access) for MTS Connect 3G at traditionally busy times.

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

3G / 4G router for MTS

Any 3G / 4G router that can be bought in the GSM-Repeater.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 cellular 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 while traveling in Russia, when the prices for mobile Internet from local operators are much lower than from your main operator in roaming.

Where can you 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 dimensions of a modern router are so small that it can easily fit into a pocket or even a small women's handbag. Mobile 3G / 4G routers MTS, which you can buy on our website, can work from the network, from the built-in battery and even from the car cigarette lighter. This gives you an incredible opportunity, which seemed incredible until now, to be connected to the Internet from MTS absolutely everywhere. In the morning in a country house, in the afternoon in the car and in the office, in the evening outdoors - you will always have your own Wi-Fi network with the Internet. It is truly modern and extremely comfortable.

More recently, operators mobile communications announced that the internet is now available in 4G quality. Of course, not all models of smartphones and tablets are capable of replicating this speed. In order to use this Internet right now, you don't have to go to buy a new device. New 4G is on the market Wi-Fi router MTS. It allows you to connect from five to ten devices local network and enjoy speeds up to 300 Mbps per second.

Setting procedure

Next, let's look at how to set up an MTS Wi-Fi router. You can do this yourself, since the first installation is not difficult, but it still requires some skills. At the first stage, we 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 a different one, the data transfer rate will be significantly reduced.

Next, we insert the router into a computer or laptop. The system itself will find and identify 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 be displayed as removable drive... Open the drive and double click on the Autorun.exe file. Perform the subsequent actions 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, accessible at a local address. With its help, you can change the name and password of the network, configure virtual server and exchange messages. It is advisable to log into the admin device from a computer or laptop. From mobile, full version not displayed.

The modern pace of life dictates to be always online, wherever a person is. Previously, the problem was solved by installing a SIM card in a mobile device and connecting the corresponding service of a cellular operator.

However, now each person has several gadgets, and if we talk about a family, then the number of devices that can connect to the Internet often reaches a dozen.

Obviously, it is impractical and economically unprofitable to equip each device with a separate SIM card and connect it to the data transfer service of the mobile operator. After all, only one compact device from MTS that distributes Wi-Fi immediately solves all difficulties with access to the global network.

Why choose a Wi-Fi router from MTS?

Only in the last 2016, a significant number of MTS subscribers simply connected the "SMART Unlimited" tariff and used their Tablet PC or a smartphone as an access point.

Thus, all devices of the user and his family could easily use unlimited access to the World Wide Web without additional costs or the purchase of additional equipment.

But since MTS banned free distribution From this tariff plan across mobile gadgets subscriber, many simply went to other service providers, and some thought about alternative options.

The mobile operator, faced with such a problem after the innovation, offered an excellent solution to its customers in the form of a compact Wi-Fi router.

This elegant solution allows you to provide access to the global network not only at home, but also in any places where there is an MTS coverage area. The subscriber becomes not tied to one location, for example, to his apartment.

Wireless technology will allow you to simultaneously access the Internet, using all available gadgets with Wi-Fi function. At the same time, many will be pleased with the absence of unnecessary cables that had to be pulled through the house while using the wired Internet.

general description

The company sells a miniature 3G router combined with a modem, as well as a device that supports the modern 4G communication standard, but since the second is much more expensive than its younger brother and, moreover, it does not fully function in all regions. new technology high-speed data transmission "LTE", so the overwhelming number of users prefer to purchase a 3G Wi-Fi router.

The device only needs to be connected to the MTS mobile network and it will broadcast the Internet to all gadgets that are equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter: stationary PCs, laptops, netbooks, smartphones, tablets, etc.

Connection data is displayed on the screen of the device. By overall dimensions the device is identical to a cell phone.

It is equipped with its own battery, which allows the owner of this small router to be autonomous for up to 5 hours. The address to enter the settings and information for authorization are written on a sticker under the battery.

There is a slot inside where a memory card is installed, therefore, the device can be used as a storage device. The built-in USB port allows you to connect the instrument to a PC.

Customization

The parameters for the optimal mode of receiving and transmitting data and the SIM card are already built into the device by the mobile operator MTS itself. The client only needs to turn on the device in order to connect to the broadcast network to start working in the global network.

If desired, the subscriber can, by entering the device's web configurator, configure some network parameters, for example, change the access code and Wi-Fi name, provide additional protection through filtering MAC addresses, etc. By default, the “MTS Connect- 4".

Note: the device does not work with SIM cards of others mobile operators, except for MTS.

If the user plans to use the router within the boundaries of large cities where there is good 4G (LTE) coverage, then after paying about 400 rubles, he will receive a Wi-Fi router with support for this new high-speed communication standard.

Of course, in the absence of access to LTE, the device is able to function effectively in a 2nd and 3rd generation communication environment. In terms of other characteristics, this version of the modem does not differ significantly from the above model, but the supported speed already allows you to comfortably watch online movies in HD quality.

MTS 3G and 4G routers are capable of providing ten devices with access to the worldwide network at the same time. If the computer is not equipped with a Wi-Fi module, then to access the Internet, you can connect the router to it via a USB cable.

How do I connect to the internet?

You need to do the following:

1. First, it requires you to know the access code. It is written on a sticker inside the device. To see it, you just need to open the router and remove the battery. It is recommended to write down the code in a notepad so that every time you connect the next device you do not have to open the router. After that, install the battery in its original place, and close back cover modem, turn it on;
2. Secondly, activate the "Wi-Fi" function in the gadget connected to the Internet and find the network broadcast by the router. Click on it and print the access code in the displayed menu. Then click "Connect";
3. Ready. You can already surf the endless sites of the worldwide network.

Note: if one of the PCs does not have Wi-Fi adapter, then a device connected to it via a USB port will not only supply the Internet to this PC, but also simultaneously distribute it to all devices connected to it via a wireless network.

Procedure for adjusting parameters in the web-based interface of the router

If the user wants to fine-tune the equipment, then a special web configurator is provided for this purpose. Here you can make adjustments to the name of the broadcast Wi-Fi and the access code to it, as well as change more complex parameters.

Through the control panel of the device, the user can get acquainted with important data about the operation of the device, for example, traffic consumption, connection status, network standard, etc.

The procedure is as follows:

1. In a device connected to the device, by means of wireless technology either via USB, launch a browser;
2. Then go to the address "192.168.1.1";
3. Next, in the displayed authorization menu, type the code "admin";
4. Click "Login";
5. The device web configurator appears.

Here, in the "SSID" column, you can correct the name of the Wi-Fi.

It is available to use the SMS service. Find out the balance on the SIM card by sending a USSD command. Call other phone numbers.

If you open the "Settings" section, then in the "Wi-Fi" subsection the user can manually specify the standard of connection to cellular network and also change the number of possible connections to the device.

The WPS subsection is designed to automate the parameters Wi-Fi networks... In the "Language" tab, specify the desired language for the settings panel.

The MAC tab is designed to provide a reliable degree of security. And information about software the owner will read the device in the subsection "System".
