Setting up an Internet connection with a 3g modem. Installing and configuring the modem on the computer. Channel bandwidth setting

Mobile Internet via MTS USB modem is an excellent alternative to wired and wireless router allowing you to connect to the network without making additional settings... However, despite the ease of use, the software for working with 3G and 4G modem provides a number of parameters that affect the convenience and technical parameters of the Internet.

In the course of this article, we will try to talk about all the parameters that can be changed when working with the MTS modem. They can be changed both with the system tools of Windows OS, and with the help of software installed from a USB modem.

Note: Both settings have nothing to do with the tariff plan, which you can change on the official MTS website or using USSD commands.

Option 1: Official software

In the vast majority of cases, there is no need to use system Windows tools controlling the modem via special software... It should be borne in mind that, depending on the device model, the software version often changes along with the program interface and available parameters.

Installation

After connecting the MTS modem to the USB port of the computer, you need to install the program and drivers that come with the device. This procedure runs in automatic mode, allowing you to change only the installation folder.

After the installation of the program is completed, the installation of the main drivers will begin, followed by launching "Connect Manager"... To go to available parameters use the button "Settings" on the bottom panel of the software.

The next time you connect the modem to the computer, use the same port as the first time. Otherwise, the installation of the drivers will be repeated.

Launch parameters

On the page "Launch parameters" there are only two points that affect exclusively the behavior of the program when a USB modem is connected. Depending on preference, after launch, the window may:

Minimize to tray on the taskbar;
Automatically establish a new connection.

These settings do not affect your internet connection and depend solely on your convenience.

Interface

After going to the page "Interface settings" in the block "Interface language" you can switch the Russian text to English. During the change, the software may freeze for a short time.

Check the box "Show statistics in a separate window" to open a visual graph of your traffic consumption.

Note: The graph will only be displayed with an active internet connection.

You can customize the specified schedule using the slider "Transparency" and "Set the color of the statistics window".

An additional window should be activated only if necessary, since the program starts to consume large quantity resources.

Modem settings

In chapter "Modem settings" The most important parameters are located that allow you to manage your Internet connection profile. Usually the required values are set by default and look like this:

Access point - "Internet.mts.ru";
Login - "Mts";
Password - "Mts";
Dial number - "* 99 #".

If the Internet does not work for you and these values are somehow different, click the button «+» to add a new profile.

After filling in the fields provided, confirm the creation by clicking «+» .

Note: You cannot modify an existing profile.

In the future, you can use the drop-down list to switch or delete Internet settings.

These parameters are universal and should be used on both 3G and 4G modems.

Network

In the tab "Network" you are given the opportunity to change the network and operating mode. Modern MTS USB modems support 2G, 3G and LTE (4G).

When disconnected « Automatic selection networks " a dropdown will appear with additional options including a network of others mobile operators, for example, Megafon. This can be useful when changing the firmware of the modem to support any SIM cards.

To change the presented values, you must terminate the active connection. In addition, sometimes options may disappear from the list due to out-of-coverage or technical problems.

PIN operations

Since any USB modem, MTS works at the expense of a SIM card. You can change its security parameters on the page "Operations with PIN-code"... Check the box "Prompt for PIN-code upon connection" to secure your SIM card.

These parameters are stored in the memory of the SIM card and therefore should only be changed at your own risk.

SMS messages

Program "Connect Manager" equipped with a function for sending messages from your phone number, which can be configured in the section "SMS"... In particular, it is recommended to set a marker "Save messages locally" since the standard memory of the SIM card is very limited and some of the new messages may be lost forever.

With new notifications, the program is displayed on top of all windows, which often minimizes full-screen applications. Because of this notification, it is best to disable and check manually via the section "SMS".

Regardless of the software version and device model in the section "Settings" there is always an item "About the program"... Having opened this section, you can familiarize yourself with the information about the device and go to the official MTS website.

Option 2: Configure on Windows

As in the situation with any other network, you can connect and configure the MTS USB modem through system settings operating system... This applies exclusively to the first connection, since later the Internet can be turned on through the section "Network".

Connection

Connect the MTS modem to the USB port of the computer.

Through the menu "Start" Open the window "Control Panel".

Select from the list "Network and Sharing Center".

Click on the link "Creating and configuring a new connection or network".

Select the option shown in the screenshot and click "Further".

In the case of MTS modems, you must use "Switched" connection.

Fill in the fields in accordance with the information we provided in the screenshot.

After pressing the button "To plug" the registration procedure on the network will begin.

After waiting for its completion, you can start using the Internet.

Settings

While on the page "Network Control Center", click on the link "Change adapter settings".

Right click on MTS connection and select "Properties".

On home page can be changed "Phone number".

Additional functions, such as asking for a password, are enabled on the tab "Options".

In chapter "Security" can be customized "Data encryption" and "Authentication"... Change the values only if you are aware of the consequences.

On the page "Network" you can configure IP addresses and activate system components.

Automatically generated "MTS Mobile Broadband Connection" can also be configured via "Properties"... However, in this case, the parameters are different and do not affect the operation of the Internet connection in any way.

Usually, the settings described in this section do not need to be changed, since when correct creation connection parameters will be set automatically. In addition, their change can lead to incorrect work modem MTS.

Conclusion

We hope that after reading this article, you managed to properly configure the operation of the MTS USB modem on a PC. If we missed some parameters or you have questions about changing parameters, write us about it in the comments.

Currently, many types are actively used various devices... The methods of entering their settings are also different.

A significant number of devices are configured by connecting to a computer with a patch cord or via wireless connection as well as a large army using USB-connected equipment.

There is always a printed or electronic manual with the device in the kit, which describes how to enter the control panel of a particular device.

But in the case when this instruction is absent, then you can use the universal guide presented below.

Personal account of the modem

The term "entering the modem" means opening the menu of the control panel of the device, in which you enter and configure network parameters, protection systems, connect additional equipment, etc.

The following names are also very often used to denote it:

web interface;
web configurator;
settings;
browser (site or page) of the modem;
parameter input menu;
personal account of the modem.

Sometimes for the convenience of users with equipment connected via Wi-Fi or a special "Internet cable" to the PC for settings, there is a complete CD, with which you can quickly enter the parameters and step-by-step guidance by the wizard of the entire procedure for entering the parameters.

Most often, the network device address "192.168.1.1" is used to enter. The following manufacturers prescribe this IP for their devices by default:

Zyxel Keenetic,
Asus;
Upvel;
TP-Link;
Lincsys;
Sagemcom;
Cisco.

Other equipment manufacturers often use the IP "192.168.0.1". These include D-Link and Netgear.

The numbers or symbols may differ, but the operating principle for opening the web configurator is almost the same.

For devices connected via a USB port, the procedure for launching the interface is even easier, since usually after plugging into the PC connector, the driver installation is automatically started and the quick setup program opens.

As a rule, USB modems from telecom operators, for example, MTS, Megafon, Beeline, are already flashed with all the provider's network parameters and the user is only required to come up with an original security code.

Start procedure

device control panel

The component parts, along with the device, usually contain everything you need to set up the operation of the device.

If for this purpose it is provided to connect to the computer with a patch cord (Ethernet cable), then one end of it should be inserted into the LAN socket of the device, and the other into network card PC (of course, manufacturers also provide a Wi-Fi connection for further settings, but it is recommended to log into the web configurator of the modem using a wired connection, as this will avoid many problems when updating the software and entering network characteristics).

It should be noted that to enter the web interface, connect to world wide web not necessary. Next, you need to insert the cord from the power adapter into the corresponding socket in the device, often “Power” is written under it.

Supply power to the device and turn it on, if a button is provided for this. If the device is not equipped with an on / off button, it will start immediately after inserting the adapter into an electrical outlet.

The LAN LED on the front of the unit will light up, and the connection will be displayed on the PC.

After completing the wired connections, you will need to perform the following steps while sitting at the computer:

Design personal account device developers are different, but mostly they are Russified and reference information is provided.

For example, if the device is provided by the Rostelecom provider, then the menu will be made in the corporate color.

Sometimes the specified authorization parameters on the device labels may not work. This means that they were previously corrected.

In order for the name and password set by the manufacturer to take effect again, you will have to reset the settings.

For this purpose, find the "Reset" key on the device body and, by pressing, hold it for about ten seconds. The machine will restart and the initial parameters for entering the interface will be valid again.

Execution option

Let's give a specific example of entering the Promsvyaz M-200A modem for the subsequent configuration of the Internet from ByFly.

Having connected it to a PC as described above, open a browser and type "192.168.1.1". After clicking on "Enter", the authorization menu will be displayed, where in the columns of the name and code indicate "admin".

Next, click "Login".

The interface will immediately appear, where you can already start entering the parameters specified in the agreement with the provider.

How to open the modem settings from a mobile operator?

Among users who prefer an active lifestyle and are often on the road, modems with SIM cards from cellular providers: MTS, Beeline, Megafon, etc. are especially popular.

These compact devices look about the same, in the form of a plastic box the size of a mobile phone. The most common models from companies from China: "Huawei" and "ZTE".

As a rule, their minimum external equipment includes a USB connector, a status LED and an On / Off key.

The principle of entering their control window is approximately the same. After connecting to the USB port of the computer, the driver is installed, and then, in the network connections, the new connection is displayed.

Usually, all the settings have already been saved by the provider and the distribution of the Internet begins immediately, but if desired, it is allowed to perform more fine tuning... Externally, the menu of web configurators will be different for every company, but the essence of the login procedure is the same.

It is required to launch an Internet browser and type "192.168.1.1" or another, which is prescribed in the instructions for the device. After the user clicks "Enter", a menu will appear asking for the code and name (they are written in the documentation that comes with the device).

A specific example of execution

Consider the login procedure for mobile modem Yota Many. To get into the interface, you can use a connection with a computer via USB or Wi-Fi.

It doesn't matter what type of connection is chosen by the owner of the device, drivers are automatically installed immediately after connection.

After waiting for the completion of the process, you need to open the Internet browser and when you try to connect to any node, the router settings menu will immediately appear.

This means that you have successfully logged in to the modem and you can start entering the network parameters.

Hello, dear readers of the site site. Today we will analyze relevant topic for those who go to the Internet with 3G modems. Sometimes this "thing" will exhaust so many nerves that after an hour of connections and attempts to "grab" the Internet, you no longer want anything. Therefore, for those who spare their nerves, setting up a 3G modem is relevant.

3G coverage is not ideal everywhere, especially in regional centers, it can be very ill. Our task is to increase the quality of reception, since it is bad signal basically prevents you from getting the maximum bandwidth... There are many different ways how to increase the speed of a 3G modem. Some "kulibins" say that a few manipulations can amplify the 3g signal by almost half. I didn't believe at first, but I tried several of them myself and you know ... it really helped me.

Port speed setting

Well, let's start .... To strengthen the 3g modem, you first need to configure port speed through which, in fact, the Internet data is received, and for this, click right click mouse by shortcut "My computer" and open the tab "Equipment"(or "Control"), then "Device Manager".

We find after that the tab "Ports"(COM or LPT), press the plus sign and in the menu expanded in front of us, select « Serial port» (if there are several ports, do some manipulation with each for reliability), right-click on the port and in the menu that appears, select the option "Properties".

A separate window comes out and then go to the tab Port parameters and after that "Speed"(bit / s). The default is 9600 bps, which is 1200 kbps (that is, the port will not let more than this speed !!!). We expose 115200 and click OK.

Channel bandwidth setting

That's it, we adjusted the port speed, after that, according to the logic of things, the maximum possible speed of the 3G modem should increase. Further according to the plan we have customization bandwidth channel... Go to the menu "Start", then "Run", we introduce into command line and press OK.

Then you need to choose "Computer configuration", "Administrative Templates", press the plus sign and in the expanded menu we select "Network" click on the plus sign and select again in the expanded menu QoS Package Manager, double-click, "limit bandwidth."

Then you need to open a window in the tab "Parameter", put a tick "Switched on"... In the window "Bandwidth limitation capabilities"(%) set to 0. There, by default, it is always 20. So, after that we press Apply and then we press ok.

- For Windows 7

Start-Find programs and files-write. Opening the file: Local Editor Group Policy ... Local Computer-Computer Configuration-Administrative Templates-Network-QoS Packet Scheduler policy. Selecting a tab "Limit the reserved bandwidth", open, in the window that appears, select the "Enabled" tab, and set "0%" just below. Push Apply-OK.

We'll finish the computer settings at this point, there are of course still other ways to improve 3g, from making changes to the registry to manually specifying parameters in files that I, frankly, will not dare to change.

Configuring 3g modem directly

Let's take the Megaphone and the HUAWEI E352 modem as an example. Purchase of a 3G antenna (if the modem has a connector for an external antenna) can enhance the signal of 3g modem or to solve the problem of low signal quality, but not everyone can afford it, and sometimes it is simple and unnecessary.

In addition, if you have "all stripes" on the antenna of the modem, and the speed "jumps" or it is generally low, then most likely nothing will help you any 3g modem amplifier, since the bandwidth of your line (tower) is limited and divided into ALL users located in this moment online.

If you surf the Internet at night and you have few "competitors", then your Internet will simply "fly". If there are a lot of people online in the evening, then your speed will be low, there is nothing you can do about it and no 3g modem settings will help.

Do-it-yourself 3g modem amplifier

But if you still have problems with the antenna strips, then the "Kulibinskaya" amplifier for a 3g modem can be done by yourself.

We take cheap Chinese speakers, plug them into an outlet and put them next to the USB modem - this should increase signal reception by 30%.
We take a copper wire, wrap it in 5-6 circles where the SIM card is located. We take out the wire through the window.
At the end of the wire, you can wind (or you can leave it that way) 1 liter beer can, having previously cut off the lid with scissors.
We place the jar with the cut side where the signal is better caught - a kind of locator.

Another way is to attach any DVD to the modem, which will also act as a signal concentrator. In this way, you can significantly enhance the signal of the 3G modem.

Eliminate the reason for the disconnection (reset) of the modem

The reason for this is the lack of USB power to the motherboard ports. This usually happens when a 3g modem is used to connect USB extension cable... That is, part of the food goes into USB cable, respectively, the device spontaneously turns off at the most unexpected moments.

That's why it is advisable not to use a USB extension cable(although it improves the signal) or look for a jack with a higher voltage, as well as a quality cable. The last two points really work, and not for a catchphrase. In my 2 slots, the modem constantly crashed, and in the 3 slot it worked properly. Cable quality REALLY affects performance - do not press on the expensive wire.

Yet interesting program for 3G modem (I chose from many) - MDMA. It shows where your modem catches best. Install a plug-in for this program - Entropiy, it shows the signal level in large numbers and duplicates in voice if necessary. The lower the negative number (-55 dBi), the better communication with a tower. Walk around the room with a laptop, or wear a cable modem and look for a place with the best reception.

Why does the Internet speed jump in a 3g modem

Surely everyone knows about the unstable pings of the 3g network. They jump from 700 to 1000 and above + to all this, the modem is disconnected from the network (not because there is not enough USB power, but for a simple reason, which I will describe below).

Many do not know or do not even guess why this is happening. Especially ordinary users of USB 3g modems.

So, what is really going on and why 3g works sometimes slowly, sometimes very quickly. When connecting, everyone noticed that the modem is connected in 3g mode, but during operation it suddenly switches to EDGE (2g) or, worse, throws it out of the network altogether.

Blame for everything automatic search mode for a stable signal- here is the modem and jumps to WCDMA, then to HSPA, or even to EDGE.

Example: EDGE signal 96%, WCDMA signal 90%, HSPA signal 50% -60%. That is, the modem automatically selects a mode in which the signal is not caught faster, but the most stable and confident. Naturally, from these three examples, the modem will work in EDGE mode.

The operation of the 3G modem at maximum speed ( HSPA Locker)

Next, I will tell you how to configure the 3g Megaphone and make the modem work only in the fastest mode - HSPA.
We open our utility Megafon-Internet (consider the example of the operator Megafon). Push Settings, Further Network, we see:

Network Type- here we select only WCDMA(or only 3G)
Range(if any) - set GSM900 / GSM1800 / WCDMA900 / WCDMA2100
Registration mode- manual search, click update, wait, then select MegaFon (3G) - click on it and click register.

In general, in case of problems with communication, use manual search- it will show if there is 3g at all at the moment or not.
Close the settings window, connect to the Internet.

Now we need one small program to configure a 3g modem - it is called HSPA Locker 1.3b (that's what I'm using). Download it. Unpack, install, run, but do not press START.

Where the slider is located, set a maximum of 3.0 kb. Now we begin to intensively download something or otherwise "pump" the Internet (you can turn on any video online).

As soon as we see that the signal in the 3g Megafon modem has become not WCDMA, but HSPA (or HSDPA or 3G is the same thing) or the speed has accelerated to the maximum possible, press the START button in the HSPA Locker program.

After that we minimize it to the tray and turn off what we put on the download. We admire the results: in the Megafon-Internet program, the connection always shows HSPA, that is, high speed.

And finally, one more trick: for a reason unknown to me, when the speed of the modem drops, after pulling the SIM card out of the modem and after that, inserting the SIM card, reconnect - the speed will be much better! Maybe the provider gives priority to the one who entered, or for another reason I don't know, but rebooting really speeds up the Internet for a while - check it out for yourself.

It's hard to imagine everyday life without modern technologies... Almost every home has Wi-Fi internet, however, not all residents of Russia can afford to run a cable, where there are no equipped communication lines. To solve the problem, you can choose the most convenient and profitable option that will allow you to connect to mobile internet... This article discusses all the methods of how to connect a modem via a modem. Before moving on to action, you need to pick up special equipment to gain access to Wi-Fi.

Before connecting the ADSL device circuit on the subscriber side, experts examine the switching plan of the local telephone wiring. In this case, the total number of telephones is determined. To use your phone and get good internet access, you need to use a passive frequency splitter - a splitter. Usually a splitter is included with the modem.

ADSL splitter is a voice and data channel splitter. The frequency filter design has a single LINE input and two PHONE / MODEM outputs. With the help of the ADSL separator, the telephone set is working properly.

To connect a modem, you need to do a few simple steps:

Initially, the splitter is connected.
To properly connect your phone to the Phone jack, you will need to use a splitter and a DSL router.
The next step involves connecting one or more computers using a cord. To do this, use a special router.
The router is connected directly through the socket.
At the end, the system starts up.

Note! Diagnostics network device carried out for 3 minutes.

The next stage is configuration, which is carried out in automatic mode. ADSL router activation is not required. For identification, a login with a password is used.

Connecting a computer with a modem

You can learn how to install a modem on your computer after purchasing the appropriate device. Initially, the hardware configuration of the computer and the device is determined. Usually change the position of the switches, which are located on some PC boards. If the device is incorrectly connected to the computer, then the system will malfunction.

Note! To connect via a USB modem, you need to determine the type of device. It is divided into two categories: internal or external.

The external device is connected to any COM-port of the computer. Some devices do not have a COM port. After purchasing an external device, you will need to connect the power. The output connector of the power supply must be connected through the mating connector on the body of the device itself.

If the internal modem is built into the PC, then it is installed on motherboard computer. Then the device is connected to a telephone line or telephone.

The connection via external / internal modems to the telephone line and the telephone set is carried out in the same way. For this, two RJ11 connectors are allocated, located on the rear panel of the device. One connector is designated as LINE, which means "line" or WALL - "wall". Its purpose is to connect the device to a telephone line. The other jack is designated PHONE.

As a rule, a special cable is supplied with the modem, which serves to connect the device to the telephone line. The 4-line RJ11 connector is not used when connected to a standard telephone jack. Since an ordinary city telephone line has only two. To carry out all these actions, you will have to find or purchase an adapter.

Important! The middle wires connect to the telephone line and telephone. Extra wires remain (2). As a result, they remain unconnected.

After completing these steps, you need to pick up the phone. You do not need to turn on the power of the computer. If a long beep occurs, there will be no special problems.

If the power of the computer and the external device are connected successfully, then the device itself is checked. The communication program is launched, which will allow the device to be connected to another device.

As a rule, programmers recommend using communication programs. Among them are BITCOM or COMIT. They are supplied with the modem. The Terminal application is no less popular. This is the standard operating room configuration. Windows systems 3.1 and also Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

USB modem connection

For those who are constantly in a room with telephone lines and do not know how to connect a modem to their computer and set up the Internet, this can be done using a wired ADSL device. The telephone line will always be free. ADSL tariffs are lower than cellular, but connecting a laptop via a wire is not always convenient.

Important! When choosing equipment, you need to familiarize yourself with tariffs, access speed and coverage area.

The modem is connected to a laptop via a USB port. Initially, you will have to connect the laptop to the network and wait for the boot process to complete. Next, you need to connect the phone, move the ON / OFF button to the ON position, which is located on the front panel of the device. If you have an installation CD at hand, then you need to insert it into the drive. In this case, you will need to restart your computer. By accepting the terms license agreement, the system prompts you to select the location to install the program. If installation disk is absent, then the program will be loaded automatically.

Sometimes, after installing the program, a shortcut appears on the desktop. Therefore, many do not know how to configure the correct modem on a computer in order to provide Wi-Fi with high quality. In this option, you need to click on the selected option twice and enter the data provided by the provider. You will need to run new browser and use the connected USB modem. If suddenly the shortcut does not appear on the desktop, then you need to open the device manager and run the diagnostics. Then you need to select the item "Poll". By clicking on the button, the diagnostic process will be completed successfully.

Note! Next time you will have to go to the "Network and Sharing Management" section.

The option is located on the control panel. If the setup starts, then you will have to enter a username and password to connect.

Internet connection via wired modem

Currently, ADSL is a rare type of connection. Connecting the network Internet via a modem is carried out using an Ethernet cable. To successfully submit Wi-Fi, you first need to connect your device to your network card.

Some people prefer to use landline phone... The best alternative is a splitter. At the entrance, connect the city telephone line... Among the 2 connectors, you must select 1 wire intended for the telephone, and the second Line connector.

Setting up a modem to connect to the Internet

Many people are interested in the question of how to connect to the Internet via a modem. Initially, you need to open any browser installed on the computer using the IP address. When configuring the network, follow the standard instructions.

The next step is to expand the Advanced Setup menu tab. After going to the "LAN" page, select the "Add" option in the "Static IP Lease List" section.

Note! After it opens new page, you need to fill in the fields, taking into account all the data received earlier from Wi-Fi router... Having completed successfully this action, be sure to save the settings.

The final stage is accompanied by disconnecting the modem from the computer.

To connect to the Internet, you need to use a patch cord. Next, the ADSL device and the Wi-Fi router are connected. If the user has installed a router, then the cable must be connected to the WAN port. If an ADSL device is supplied, then any unrecognized LAN interface can be connected.

In conclusion, it should be noted that in order to get the Internet good quality worth choosing tariff plan modem with high data transfer rate. To do this, you need to purchase a router of decent power.

It seems to have inserted the modem and that's it - use it, as the manufacturers write, but there are subtleties (settings). Let's take a look at some of them.

Here is a standard 3G modem window from Megafon:

Go to "settings" and switch from NDIS to RAS (modem):

and turn off in " Network connections" - adapter broadband mobile communications .

Let me explain right away. NDIS ( Network Driver Interface Specification) - interface specification network driver... Designed for broadband mobile communication and is used for example: in a WiFi router. Let's say you have a laptop, smartphone, and netbook. You insert into Wifi router a 3G modem and it is being distributed to everyone a little by little. That's what NDIS is for.

If you are alone on a modem, then it is advisable to switch to RAS, which will significantly affect the Internet speed .

In general, I personally do not use this program. I prefer.

It also allows you to switch network modes. Traffic tracking.
