I bought a new 4G LTE internet from MTS. I'm shocked by the speed!

What routers does MTS offer?

The provider sells modems that support modern communication standards. 2G-4G routers with Wi-Fi support are on sale. To access wireless Internet at home, simply connect the modem to a LAN (twisted pair) or ADSL (telephone line) cable. An alternative option for accessing the network is the use of mobile traffic. The choice of one connection method or another depends on the type of device.

The company sells devices that meet the basic needs of consumers.

A special feature of the MTS router model range is the software. The software content is selected according to the type of processor built into the case. Standard models are equipped with a user interface with a small set of functions. Routers with “intelligence” have advanced settings. In addition, the quality of communication on modems with smart hardware is maintained at the same level. The user receives a stable Internet connection without interruptions or freezes, and high connection speed.

For active viewers, MTS offers a special line of routers with IPTV tariffs. All models support wireless Wi-Fi for TV and have a port for connecting an Ethernet cable.

For those customers who need constant Internet on several devices, MTS offers to use multi-channel routers. Their body is equipped with ports for connecting to a Wi-Fi TV, computer or other device. The number of connectors can be increased using special adapters.

The main parameter of modems is the Wi-Fi standard. MTS uses 2 latest generation protocols:

1. 802.11 "b, d, n". Operates at a data transmission frequency of 2.4 GHz. Standard modems are capable of picking up signals over a large area. Broadcast reception occurs with interference if there is a physical barrier (wall) between the router and the device. These types of routers can slow down internet speeds when other electronics and sensors are turned on.
2. 802.11 "ac". Operates in a range with a more stable connection. A constant signal is maintained through an additional 5 GHz connection frequency. When the network is loaded, communication is redirected to the desired range. Routers of this type are actively used in apartment buildings, where everyone is connected to a common frequency of 2.4 GHz. Setting up ranges allows you to access fast Internet bypassing a busy network.

MTS offers routers that operate in 2 frequencies at once and automatically prioritize the network depending on the load. Such models are more expensive, but the quality of the connection received can be compared with cable Internet.

The range of routers is represented by a small assortment of devices popular in 2021.

General information

It's better to start with the gadget itself. Manufacturers managed to install a 4G receiver with a powerful antenna, a Wi-Fi module and a large battery in a small box (palm size). Such an MTS 4G router can be purchased for 2-3 thousand rubles.

There are many manufacturers on the modern mobile router market, but not all of them work with Russian mobile operators. This creates problems for some users who often visit other countries. In this article, the review will cover equipment that works without problems in the LTE 4G networks of the MTS operator.

Wi-Fi router PowerBank

Convenient to use when you need to recharge gadgets.

The device does not require a connection to the home Internet and is adapted to work in the MTS mobile network. You can take the router with you on a trip or use it as an alternative to cable Wi-Fi.

Detailed description

The router is presented in the form of a small plastic block with rounded edges. The front body of the device has built-in light sensors that indicate connection to a 3G/4G or Wi-Fi network.

Reviews

Familiarization with the technical characteristics and a review of popular device models can only tell the user what they should pay attention to when purchasing. But to decide whether to buy this or that equipment, only recommendations from buyers who have already purchased a mobile router and managed to identify all the advantages and disadvantages will help. The MTS 4G router has quite interesting reviews:

• modification 833F constantly goes into sleep mode due to a weak signal (apparently, a large delay in the response of the remote server is recognized by the device as idle);
• Mobile routers purchased at MTS mobile communication stores distract users with unnecessary advertising (this works at the firmware level, so eliminating intrusive messages requires the help of IT professionals);
• the presence of WPS technology in the router significantly saves time for all users who want to quickly connect to a secure wireless Wi-Fi channel;
• When building a local network based on several mobile devices, it is not recommended to use the maximum data transfer speed (the controller built into the router overheats and the device turns off spontaneously).

Which router from MTS is better to choose?

The latest generation of routers from MTS is represented by modems with improved functionality. All models have access to Wi-Fi and can distribute traffic to several devices simultaneously.

The selection of a modem for private use is carried out based on the priority of tasks. Some buyers need fast Wi-Fi. Others may be interested only in accessing the Internet on a laptop, for example, on business trips or on vacation. To choose a router, the buyer must take into account the consumer qualities of the product in its entirety.

Main criteria:

1. Portability (autonomy). The parameter is considered when using the Internet from devices that do not have access to the power supply (for laptops, smartphones, speakers, etc.).
2. Data transfer rate. Communication providers set restrictions on the Internet - the hardware throughput of gateways in modems is different.
3. Availability of 802.11g/n/ac standards. The higher the protocol version, the more stable the connection (the frequency range is wider, the operating range of the equipment is greater).
4. Number of connection clients. This parameter is important when choosing a router for a private home or office. You can connect a TV, printer, computer, wireless headphones and other gadgets to 1 modem.
5. Availability of ports for home Internet cable and their number. The criterion is required when using Wi-Fi for a TV, set-top box, or computer. In this case, the speed of traffic distribution is not limited, because Internet is provided directly through a dedicated LAN/WAN (Ethernet) line.

The latest generation of MTS Wi-Fi routers supports most of the presented parameters. The advantages of MTS routers are uninterrupted communication, signal range, and the availability of an alternative way to access the Internet via a SIM card. The choice of model depends only on the individual preferences of the user and the purchase budget.
