How to connect 4G LTE Internet to MTS: step-by-step setup

How to connect 4g to MTS within one day? If you are faced with the problem of lack of 4g Internet, then use the brief connection instructions. In the 21st century, 4g is the fastest mobile access. Any device: tablet, mobile phone or smartphone can work with fast Internet. It is especially suitable for those who spend online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. High-speed Internet will allow you to watch movies and TV series from your smartphone, send voice messages and video calls. Every user can get such Internet. The main thing is that there is access to the network in the region where you live.

What is this communication standard?

4G is the fourth generation mobile communications standard. There are increased requirements for it:

1. For mobile communications, Internet access is provided at speeds of over 100 Mbit/sec.
2. Fixed connection provides 1 Gbit/sec.

4G consists of two high speed standards: WiMAX and LTE. The first of them appeared in 2005, and the second in 2009. The latter has gained great popularity for use in mobile networks. They can be used for mobile devices and laptops.

Although 4G claims to have high speeds, in practice the network does not provide them. The maximum available speed for mobile devices is no more than 20 Mbit/s. The parameters of such a network are superior to HSPA networks.

Important! The main manufacturer of chips for mobile devices supporting LTE is Qualcomm. It began producing such chips in 2012.

Most models released after this year support 4G. Such a network almost never fails.

The company's clients have the following advantages:

Automatic settings

The operating company is doing its best to ease the efforts of customers by automating the process as much as possible. One of these features is automatic settings. How can I get them?

How to switch from 3G

What to do if MTS mobile Internet on your phone or home Internet on your computer does not work

If this smartphone model does not support 4G, then it is impossible to switch to it. To do this you will have to buy a new phone. If this standard is available, you can switch to it by specifying this network type in the settings. There is no way to make 4G on MTS if the smartphone does not support this standard.

Sometimes it may be that the phone supports this feature, but the SIM card does not. In this case, before switching from 3G to 4G MTS, you need to contact your mobile operator in order to replace it with a more modern one that has this capability.

How to connect an MTS router to a computer

There is nothing complicated here. We will need:

• The computer itself, which has a working Ethernet port or at least has a network card.
• A router with free connectors for expanding the network, distributing or transmitting the Internet via a network cable.
• A network cable that you can buy in a store, or perhaps it will already come with the router.

We connect the network cable to one of the additional ports of the router, as well as to the PC itself. Next, we simply look at the connected networks in the computer control panel; the router should be in them.

How to change the password on an MTS Wi-Fi router for home Internet

The same as changing the router password, because their login and password are the same. Just log in with your details using the link 192.168.1.1 and follow the same steps as in the previous paragraph. The main thing is not to choose simple passwords, because you can gain access to your computer through your home network, and this is not secure.

What does it mean - “SIM card does not support 4G”

Before asking yourself the question of why there is no 4G on MTS, you need to check whether the phone and SIM card work in this range. You can easily determine on your phone whether the card supports the new technology. To do this you need to do the following:

1. Go to settings.
2. Enter the “SIM cards and mobile networks” section.
3. Select the desired card (if your phone has two).
4. Click on the line “Preferred network type”.

On iPhone, this procedure is similar. In the list provided for selection, you can see various options. If 4G is not among them, then the phone does not support this standard. If present, then it is available for use. To do this you will need a 4G MTS SIM card.

Changing the password on the MTS Wi-Fi router

Changing this setting will help avoid many unpleasant surprises. The company's specialists strongly recommend using a complex access key for the following purposes:

• limit the use of traffic by third-party devices;
• improve the quality of your home network;
• reduce the load on the signal source;
• keep personal data secret.

The absence of a password opens access to attackers who can:

• steal personal information;
• use the user’s computer to automatically send information prohibited by applicable law;
• use payment card data for personal purposes.

The password can be changed in the modem settings. To log in, you must use the device’s IP address, which is indicated in the address bar of any browser:

1. For a D-Link router you need to use 192.168.0.1.
2. For TP-Link, Zyxel, Asus modems, enter the address 192.168.1.1.

Once on the login page, you must enter the correct username and password. The main page of the modem web menu should open. Find the Wireless Settings section and go to it. Find the WPA2 Shared Key item and change the key.

Similar actions are necessary in the following cases:

• when suspicious connections appear;
• to prevent uncontrolled use of traffic by children;
• if the owner of the device changes.

Setting a complex password will protect the router owner from unpleasant surprises, including loss of payment card information.

Coverage area

MTS has one of the largest coverage areas of Russian mobile operators. In order to see the card where it is exactly indicated, you need to go to the official website of the MTS company. To open the map page, you must do the following:
