10.0.0.1 and Yota status: how to enter the device (router) settings

If you want to start using a Yota modem or router, you first need to access the settings of the device itself. You must be connected to it. We connect the modem via a USB connector to the computer, open the browser and type status.yota.ru in the address bar. To go to the specified address, press the Enter key. If you can’t log in, try entering 10.0.0.1. A control panel will open in front of you with all the information about the modem, speed and connection status. To change Wi-Fi network settings, you need to go to the “Device Settings” section. If you need additional settings, you can try going to https://status.yota.ru/advanced. In the modem menu, the user can also check firmware updates for their device, change the password, and perform a factory reset.

Technical problems

If the Yota modem does not connect (the blue indicator does not light), there is a problem of physical damage. First of all, check the USB port. Try connecting the modem to another one. If this does not help, and the port is checked and working (it sees other devices or flash drives), then the modem may not have enough power. In this case:

Go to Device Manager (Control Panel in Windows 7 or right-click on Start in Windows 10);

Find the “USB Controllers” section and click on it;

On USB Mass Storage Device, right-click and click Disable.

This will increase power to the port. Because the modem may not work due to lack of energy.

When the Yota modem constantly turns off, this may mean the following:

Poor network access. In this case, the connection is constantly broken. Try moving it to another place where the connection is better;
If you use a cord, its length should not exceed 1.8 m. Check its serviceability and integrity. Try using the device directly, without an extension cord;
The contacts in the USB port are broken. From frequent use it could simply become loose. In this case, you should either repair it or replace it.

If the modem still refuses to work, contact your nearest dealership for advice.

Signal quality can be determined by two key parameters:

RSRP - this indicator can help establish the signal strength of the operator's base station.
SINR - shows the interference ratio relative to the signal.

Please note that when the coefficient next to SINR is 0, this means that the signal and interference indicators are equal to each other.
