Mobile Internet Yota. Access point: connect and configure

Yota is a Russian operator of wireless Internet and communications, which started its activity almost ten years ago. Its main difference from competitors is absolutely unlimited mobile Internet, the lack of roaming in the territory of the Russian Federation and the ability to save the old number when connected. From this article you will learn how to connect, activate, and how to configure an access point on Yota.

Then it's time to move on to buying equipment. For a laptop or computer, a modem is suitable, and if you are going to distribute the Internet to several devices at once, then take a router - it will allow you to create a network that connects up to eight devices. To connect Yota to your smartphone or tablet, you need to download a special application and order a SIM card through it. With this application it is also convenient to monitor the balance and, if necessary, change the tariff.

Software, activation

Installing drivers to connect the modem to a laptop or computer will not be required. The only thing you need to install is Yota Access. The program will do everything by itself: in a couple of seconds it will find your device and connect it to the network. It's time to go to the registration on the Yota website, the access point will not work without it. You will need to provide passport details, phone number and e-mail address. Having registered, you will create a personal cabinet where you activate your device by clicking on the link. Then the computer needs to be rebooted.

The last step is the payment for the connected service. The subscription fee depends on the speed of the Internet, which you choose yourself. Payment is made both through terminals, and through online banks, including electronic wallets. You can see all payment methods on the Yota website.

On the Android platform, the setting is as follows: by activating the device, go to the "Settings" section, open the "Advanced", then "Mobile network" and, finally, "Access points". Select "Create / Edit". In the APN line, enter "internet.yota", and the name of the point is "yota". The access point was created.

In the APN line, type "internet.yota" and click "Save". Now we need to select the point just created and wait for it to become active.

On the Yota network, the access point is configured the fastest on mobile devices running iOS. To do this, from the "Settings" section, go to "Cellular communication", and then to "Cellular data". In the APN field, still write "internet.yota". That's it - the access point is ready for use.

Connecting to a computer

The Iota modem is supported by all major operating systems. It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The modem will connect to the Internet immediately after turning on the computer.

On the first panel you will see the complete information about your connection: the name of the device, the duration of the connection, the maximum connection speed, the current speed, the signal level, the IP address and more.

Open and secure networks

The mobile router or router "Iota" is distinguished by its small size and lightness. It is equipped with a display showing the level of charge, and a switch.
The first connection to the Internet through the router will create only an open network. But you can create a second one, protected by a password. Why do we need two lines of the network at once? You will use the closed network, while the second, unprotected, will come in handy in case you need to share the Internet, but you do not want to tell the password. Switching between the lines is very simple: just change the position of the special switch on the router - and the open network will turn on. The secure network remains. To learn that the open network is enabled, you can use the appeared on the display of the router smilie.
