Many of us use WiMAX and LTE networks to access the Internet. The Yota Provider deservedly takes a worthy place in this segment of wireless services. Of course, it is very simple and convenient - stuck the modem into the computer, and in the presence of the coating received high-speed unlimited Internet. But quite often arise problems associated with a weak signal and low speed of the Internet connection. What can be taken by the ordinary user in such an unbelievable situation?
Enhance the iota signal
Currently, the Yota provider transfers data in two frequency ranges of 1800 and 2600 MHz, which theoretically must allow any subscriber within a radius to seven kilometers from the base station to confidently receive a signal. But in practice, the radio wave of ultrahigh frequency, especially in the conditions of a dense urban building, have a bad property to reflect the obstacles, fond and dissipate. The signal strength falls, respectively, the speed of the Internet connection decreases. Let's try to strengthen the necessary parameters together. Methods for improving the reception of the iota signal can be divided into two groups: Conditionally free and requiring notable financial investments.Method 1: USB Port Change
Very often, users are connected to the iota modem to the USB ports on the front panel of the computer block, motivating their actions by the fact that it is also more convenient. But according to experts, it is not recommended to do this. These ports are connected to the motherboard with thin wires and there is a small loss of signal strength from the modem at this stage. Therefore, switch the "whistle" into the USB port on the back of the housing and you may notice a minor improvement of the connection characteristics.
Method 2: USB Extension
You can use a simple USB extension as an antenna. Any cable of this type is suitable for up to 5 meters long, preferably with copper contacts and ferrite rings.
- One plug connector into the USB port on the back of the system unit, the second in the Yota modem.
- In any browser, score in the address bar: 10.0.0.1 and press ENTER.
- We get to the modem characteristics page. Here we are interested in the first RSSI (RSRP) and CINR parameters. What they are more, the better.
- We have a modem of Yota near the window or on the balcony. Slowly move it, constantly monitors the quality and strength of the signal, we turn to the CINR indicator. We find the best location. Strengthening the signal using the USB extension can be very significant.
Method 3: Homemade Antennas
Using the screw tools, you can make it possible to make a self-made antenna to enhance the Yota signal. The easiest option is the so-called "colander 4G". The kitchen utensils are in every home, we take an aluminum colander, placing the modem inside its bowl so that the top of the "whistle" was in the central part of the dishes, in parallel to the bottom. According to craftsmen, gaining a signal with this product can make a two-time magnitude.
Another homemade antenna from the girlfriend can be built from the usual tin can from the beverages. Cut the cover on one side, we make a hole in the middle of the bank, in which we put the iota modem connected by the USB extension to the computer. We are looking for a position with the best signal on the window or on the balcony. The gain coefficient of this antenna can be very noticeable.
A good enhancement effect of the Yota signal can give a little converted satellite antenna, where instead of the converter you need to secure the modem. Then we find out the location of the base station. To do this, call the iota support service and ask the operator to help correctly send an antenna.
Spacious for technical creativity here is unlimited. On the Internet you will find hundreds of antenna manufacturers for receiving Yota signal. If desired, you can check the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed structures.
Method 4: Equipment for signal amplification
Russian and foreign manufacturers offer the consumer a wide selection of a variety of equipment for amplifying a 4G signal. You can simply purchase and install an inner or external antenna, with an active or passive amplifier. But ensure that the investment of funds into such devices will be successful, unfortunately, it is impossible. At each individual locality point, its purely individual conditions for the propagation of radio waves, the degree of loading of base stations, the level of interference, and so on. If there is a direct visibility on the BS emitter, it is wiserfully to try a narrow-controlled antenna. She looks like in the photo.
If there are serious obstacles between the tower and the modem, it is more expedient to try the panel type antenna that are effective in a reflected and scattered signal. Externally panel antenna looks like a small flat box.
Summarize. Strengthen the received Yota signal is quite real. Use for this can be used tools and special equipment. You can choose the way that is suitable for your conditions and opportunities. Good luck!
