Further, using the "Connect" button, after a few seconds, make the first access to the Internet. Installed program has a wide range of options: personal balance control, the amount of traffic used, the option to send and receiving SMS and USSD commands;
  • if the subscriber has chosen a kit that includes a wireless Wi-Fi router, then you need to install a SIM card and connect power to the device. Then connect to the access point that was organized by the router. This connection is easy to set up using the device's control panel. The panel access address is 192.168.1.1. As standard login you must enter "admin", the password is also "admin". To restrict the access of unscrupulous Internet users to the control panel, after the first connection, it is strongly recommended to change the password to a more complex one;
  • if a combined router / modem was purchased that supports 4G, then the connection to the Internet is carried out according to the first method described above. The advantage of this option is the ability not only to access the Internet using a personal computer, but also to create an access point to a wireless network.

Tariff MTS connect 4 - subscriber reviews

In Runet, you can find quite a lot of subscriber reviews about the work of MTS Connect 4, both positive and negative. As the users themselves note, the access speed, as a rule, suits them quite well. True, due to the intricacies of wireless access to a local network, the speed can “float”.

This is due to the workload of base stations during the daytime and other technical nuances. For example, subscribers from downtown areas may experience problems accessing the local Internet due to 4G congestion. And some live in very remote or poor reception areas. Naturally, there will be no positive reviews in such cases. To all of the above, it remains only to add that other operators are experiencing the same problems. Unfortunately, the quality of the connection does not always directly depend on the capabilities of the operator.

There is also a "Turbo button" that helps to eliminate speed or volume limits for a certain number of hours (two or six hours at the customer's choice). Initially, everyone is set to "Unlimited Mini".

Calls and SMS in the home region.

Despite the fact that most of the customers are interested in this tariff for accessing the Internet, the usual mobile communications may also be required.

All incoming calls in the case of being in the home region will be absolutely free for the client. Outgoing calls differ in cost depending on the number of which operator is called by the client, as well as on the location of the region.

Internet at the rate.

This tariff is interesting precisely because of the opportunity to reduce Internet costs, but get high speed and excellent call quality. The main options offered by the operator:

  1. Internet for a day. Suitable for those who rarely use the Internet. Only 500 MB of traffic will be available per day.
  2. Internet mini increases the user's capabilities up to 3 GB of traffic per month, while you will have to pay only 350 rubles. This volume makes it possible to get acquainted with the news, work with email, use social networks, view photos.
  3. Internet maxi is needed for those who cannot imagine their life without the World Wide Web. 12 GB of traffic is ample opportunity both for communications via the Internet and for watching movies. Cost compared to previous version, is doubled. The benefit is obvious.
  4. Those who are not used to limiting themselves can use the Internet VIP, which makes it possible to receive 30 GB of traffic (in the afternoon). The payment for such pleasure will be the loss of the amount of 1200 rubles. per month.

Tariff "MTS Connect 4" is a universal solution for mobile Internet users. Tariff plan interesting by the possibility of connecting the options "Internet for a day", "Internet-Mini", "Internet-Maxi", "Internet-VIP" and "Internet 4 Mbps", which include Internet traffic packages. The MTS Connect tariff provides subscribers with the opportunity to choose the best Internet option for themselves in accordance with their needs.

Description of the tariff "MTS Connect 4"

The MTS Connect tariff itself is of little interest. It doesn't include any packages, and communication rates are far from ideal. First of all, the options that work at this tariff are of interest. The fact is that these options will only work on the MTS Connect 4 tariff plan (some options are available for connection on other tariffs, but in this case the subscription fee will be higher).

The options of greatest interest are:

  • "Internet for a day";
  • "Internet-Mini";
  • "Internet-Maxi";
  • "Internet VIP";
  • "Internet 4 Mbps".

Options differ in cost and amount of available Internet traffic. We will return to the mentioned options and make them detailed overview, now let's consider what the MTS Connect 4 tariff itself is. You are unlikely to use it without additional options, but you need to know its conditions and its characteristic prices.

The cost of communication services at the tariff "MTS Connect 4"

The tariff plan "MTS Connect-4" comes with a modem and an MTS router. Depending on the device model, one of the previously mentioned options is connected. If you received this tariff together with a modem or router, then you are unlikely to be interested in the prices for services cellular communication, because the tariff plan will be used exclusively for accessing the Internet. However, the MTS Connect tariff is not always used only in a modem or router. Many subscribers use it on their phone and tablet. If you are one of these subscribers and there is a possibility that a SIM card with a tariff will be used to make calls or send SMS, then you should definitely familiarize yourself with the prices.

The tariff "MTS Connect-4" is characterized by the following rates:

  • Subscription fee - 0 rub;
  • Incoming calls - 0 rub;
  • 1 MB of Internet traffic without additional options - 3 rubles;
  • Calls to mobile MTS home region - 4 rubles;
  • Calls to other networks in the home region - 4 rubles;
  • Calls to landlines - 5.50 rubles;
  • Calls to mobile MTS of Russia - 5 rubles;
  • Calls to numbers of other operators outside the home region - 14 rubles;
  • Outgoing SMS to subscribers of the home region - 1.95 rubles;
  • Outgoing SMS to subscribers in other regions of Russia - 3.80 rubles.
  • Attention
  • Rates may vary by region. The data given in the article is relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region. You can clarify the information on prices that is relevant for your region on the official website of MTS.

As you can see, the prices are not the most pleasant, and without additional options, the tariff plan is completely uninteresting. It is definitely not suitable for communication and there are other tariff plans for these purposes. We have already discussed in a separate article. The picture changes dramatically if you connect one of the Internet options.

Options on the tariff "MTS Connect-4"


As you already understood, the MTS Connect tariff plan itself is useless and there is hardly a subscriber who will be interested in it. Of all, this is the most expensive. In principle, this is not surprising, because the tariff was originally designed to work together with Internet options.

The options are quite diverse, so that each subscriber can choose the best option for himself. Recently, the option "Internet 4 Mbps" has appeared, which does not have a limit on traffic, but there is a limit on the data transfer rate. The cost of the option depends on the Internet traffic package and the specific region. The information below is relevant for Moscow and the Moscow region. If you are a subscriber of another region, then you will probably have the option cheaper. You can check the information relevant for your region on the MTS website.

Internet Mini option

As part of the Internet Mini option, only 3 GB per month is available for 350 rubles. This option is the cheapest and at the same time the smallest in terms of available Internet traffic. The “Internet-Mini” option is available for connection on all tariffs, except for tariffs, “Ultra”, as well as “iPad”, “SIM”, “i-Onliner”, “Onliner”, “Cool”, “Caring” and “Mayak” ". That is, in addition to "MTS Connect-4", the option can work in conjunction with other tariffs. If the monthly traffic quota is exceeded, an additional 500 MB worth 75 rubles is provided. To activate the option, dial the command * 111 * 160 #

Internet Maxi option

As part of the “Internet-Maxi” option, the subscriber is provided with 12 GB of Internet traffic during the day + 12 GB at night (from 1:00 to 7:00) for a month. Monthly fee - 700 rubles. The MTS website indicates that the option is valid throughout Russia. In fact, when using mobile Internet outside the home region, an additional option fee is 50 rubles per day. Similar conditions apply to other online options. The “Internet-Maxi” option is available for connection not only on the “MTS Connect-4” tariff plan, but also on other tariffs, except for the tariffs of the “Smart” line, as well as “iPad”, “SIM”, “Onliner” (all modifications ), "Cool", "Caring", "Lighthouse". To activate the option, dial the command * 111 * 161 # .

Internet VIP option

The "Internet VIP" option is the most expensive and includes the largest amount of traffic. Previously, this option did not imply the absence of any restrictions. As part of the option, subscribers received unlimited traffic quotas. Unfortunately, these times are in the past and now the connection is an option. "Internet VIP" allows you to get 30 GB per month during the day + Unlimited at night. By "night" is meant the period of time from 01:00 am to 07:00 am. For all this you will have to pay 1200 rubles. per month. In some regions, the subscription fee is less. The monthly fee will be higher if you do not use the MTS Connect 4 tariff. When using mobile Internet outside the home region, an additional fee for the option is 50 rubles per day. To activate the option, dial the command * 111 * 166 # .

Option "Internet for a day"

Need Internet access, but not every day? Another very convenient option available on the MTS Connect 4 tariff is Internet for a Day. Connect this option and pay only when you are not actually using the Internet. The option "Internet for a day" assumes the absence of mandatory monthly and daily fees, you pay only in case of actual access to the Internet.

As part of the option for a day, 500 MB are provided for 50 rubles. Billing for Internet access occurs once a day during the period from 00:00 to 00:00 at the time of the first access to the Internet. To activate the option, dial * 111 * 67 # on your phone or use your personal account.

Option "Internet 4 Mbps"

The name of the option speaks for itself. The subscriber is provided unlimited Internet with an internet speed of 4 Mbps. The speed of 4 Mbps is equal to 512 Kbps. Of course, downloading large files from the Internet will be problematic, but for online viewing this speed will be enough. 4 Mbps is the maximum speed. Actual speed depends on technical parameters MTS network and other circumstances. That is, there is no guarantee that you will get the promised speed.

Monthly fee - 750 rubles per month (for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region). The MTS “Internet 4 Mbps” option is activated automatically upon purchase of the “MTS Connect 4” tariff plan in the MTS salon, or it can be activated on the i.mts.ru website two weeks after the activation of the kit with a 4G modem. It should also be noted that within the tariff option "Internet 4 Mbps" the provision of services of file-sharing networks is limited to a speed of 512 Kbps.

Today the popularity of the application mobile networks connections to access the internet is growing all over the world. They allow you to connect to world wide web without using a Wi-Fi signal and at any time 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 an information transfer rate that is not inferior to wireless networks. Accordingly, devices that facilitate connection to the Internet through the networks of mobile operators have also received a new impetus. One of the most popular are the latest generation wireless 4G USB modems.

Model range 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 great amount base stations located in almost every settlement in Russia.

Company " Mobile telesystems"are the leader in the number of LTE base stations designed for organizing 4G communications and operating on a new standard for wireless high-speed data transmission for mobile devices. In total, the company has about 30,000 stations, which is almost one and a half thousand more than the nearest competitor.

The model range of 4G USB modems from MTS includes two products manufactured by Huawei Technologies.

Please note that the 4G USB modem "MTS Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi" is different 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.

Network selection should always be set to automatic.. This will help to avoid unnecessary steps to configure the modem. It is recommended to set the network selection according to one of the standards only if there is no 4G or 3G network.

Setting the maximum transmit and receive speed

For settings top speed There are several ways to receive and transmit data over the Internet:

  1. Use a USB extension cable with the 4G modem moved to a higher point. This will enhance the reception of propagated waves, which, unlike 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 computer via USB extension cable

  2. Use a homemade resonator antenna where to place the modem. Due to the reflection of radio waves from the resonator, a double signal amplification effect is obtained and a higher speed is achieved.

    Internet access speed may increase due to reflection from the surface of the resonator antenna

  3. Apply the Kharchenko antenna ("eight"), which will be in contact with the 4G modem. Kharchenko's antenna works similarly to a room antenna television antenna, creating a suggestive contour that amplifies the signal and the speed of its processing.

    Kharchenko's antenna works on a different principle - it creates a suggestive loop and amplifies the signal

  4. Connect the 4G modem to the USB router port. This will allow you to additionally use the router amplifier and fiber optic network to relay the Internet signal. Since the speed of receiving and transmitting information from the router is quite high, then, accordingly, the speed of the modem will also increase.

    You can increase the speed of the Internet connection by using the resources of the router

  5. Remove from startup torrent programs that, when loaded with Windows, take a certain amount random access memory, which immediately affects the speed of the modem.
  6. Do not run a web browser and a torrent program at the same time to download information. The reason here is the same as in the previous paragraph.
  7. In the web browser settings, disable unnecessary add-ons such as Java Script and the like. 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 using 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 fix it, you can use the following methods:

  1. Check the 4G network coverage area on the map. To do this, on the official website of MTS, go to the tabs "Private customers" - "Help" - "Service areas" - "Our map" and determine by the region where the base stations of the 4G network operate.

    Restart your computer and launch the Connect Manager application

  2. Uninstall the "Connect Manager" application by opening the "Control Panel" on the desktop and going to the "Programs and Features" section. Reinstall it as described above.
  3. Call support at 8 (800) 250-08-90 or 0890 and report a problem. Get advice from technical experts or fix the problem remotely.

In addition, other problems may arise:


Video: Troubleshooting 4G Modem Connections

With my personal work with a 4G USB modem also occurred various problems that had to be overcome. Most often occurred complete absence Internet signal while 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 concrete walls. The most effective way out of this situation turned out to be connecting a 4G modem via a USB extension cable and moving the device to a higher point. We also tried to create a contact between the modem and the television 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 factory-made antenna does not have a wide reflective surface, then the efficiency of receiving an Internet signal increases by no more than 15–20%. Well amplifies the Internet signal and increases the speed of the Kharchenko antenna or its analogues. If you fix this type of antenna on a wooden pole 3–4 meters long and place it on the roof of a house or on a balcony, then the power level of the radio signal and the speed of the 4G modem increase by 40–50%.

These methods have proved to be most effective when working with low-power tablets, when the base station is not in the line of sight, and the power of the tablet's built-in antenna is not enough to reliably receive the signal. Using 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.

  1. Advantages:
    • 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 ​​any of them;
    • the presence of a slot for a microSD card;
    • connectors for external antennas.
  2. Flaws:
    • bulky dimensions, which sometimes leads to overlapping of adjacent connectors;
    • not always sufficient coverage area base stations LTE;
    • high cost of the device and subscription 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 displace their predecessors from the consumer market.

In order to always and everywhere have a unique opportunity to access the Internet and be online at any time and any place, the mobile operator MTS has created a universal tariff plan MTS Connect-4.
