Yota internet center has poor wi-fi reception. Poor Yota speed
Surely, most users had problems with the Internet. Today, an increasing number of computer owners are complaining that Yota refuses to work for them. What are the reasons for this? What to do in this situation? This will be discussed in the article.
Activity
Before you think about why Yota doesn’t work, you need to get acquainted with this provider. It originated on Russian market relatively recently, but already now it attracts the attention of most consumers. This company provides computers and telephones wireless internet. It is Yota that claims that it can provide its own customers with 4G communications. It is no secret that it is fast and of high quality. Surely, this is the reason for the wide popularity of Yota products. But after some time of use, buyers become disappointed in the connection. Often Yota's routers and modems do not work. It's worth figuring out why this happens.
Network problems
It is likely that there was a normal network failure. Such cases are far from uncommon; they are often found in almost all Internet providers, as well as cellular operators. No one is immune from such cases. When there is a suspicion that the Yota modem is not working precisely for this reason, it is advisable to report the problem to the support service and find out why this happened. Then all you have to do is wait. After some time, the reason for the failure will be eliminated and the connection will be restored.
Bad weather
If you notice that Yota is not working, you might want to look out the window to see the weather. If weather conditions bad, most providers suffer from damaged transmission lines. Thus, the Internet connection is lost. In such a situation, nothing can be done. All you have to do is be patient and wait until the weather gets better. When this happens, the Internet will appear. It is worth noting that you can call the provider to find out about the events taking place at the station. Thus, it will become clear what the reason is, whether there is a user fault that can be eliminated independently, or whether you will need to wait for the connection to be restored. Although, there are no obvious reasons why the Yota modem does not work, other than those listed above.
Payment
Very often, users complain that Yota does not work, but the equipment is in good working order, the weather is good, and there are no accidents or failures on the line. What is the reason? Perhaps the user forgot to pay for Internet access services, so the phone is blocked. It is worth noting that these are quite common cases. Moreover, not only with Yota. Once the payment has been made, the connection will be restored. If the Internet still does not work, it is worth considering that a negative balance on the phone does not allow you to access the Internet. Thus, it is necessary to replenish the balance to a positive one. After this, the problem will be resolved.
No signal
In addition, if the question arises why Yota does not work, you need to check the signal level. Perhaps it simply does not exist or is very weak. This interferes with the normal operation of your mobile phone or computer. It is necessary to remember that Yota is a new operator with a poorly developed system of stations. Of course, there will be Internet near them, but in remote locations it will be slow or absent altogether. Thus, you should not be surprised that there is no Yota signal in the forest or basement. Such situations occur with almost all providers, as well as cellular operators. You should resume attempting to connect to the Internet when you have selected a suitable location. If everything is fine, then that was the problem. If the failures persist, you should look for the cause elsewhere.
Equipment breakdown
If there is no Internet connection, you need to check the integrity of the equipment intended for connection. You should also make sure that all wires are in good condition. Often these types of failures are the reason why there is no Internet connection. Although, no one is immune from equipment failure. In this case, it is necessary to take it for repair when the first suspicions arise. Specialists service center will quickly clarify the situation. As practice shows, Yota antennas break very often. If you do not follow the rules for using equipment, it will quickly fail.
Drivers for Yota
If the Internet does not want to work, in some cases the reasons are outdated drivers on the computer. Surely, there is no need to talk about what to do in such a case. The user will be required to install the latest drivers. You need to remember about drivers designed for the network card. You will also need to reinstall the Yota program on your computer. As you know, during installation it also finds and loads the necessary drivers. As a result, they will be updated. Then you can restart the computer and look at the result. According to the subscribers themselves, this step makes it possible to eliminate many problems associated with the Internet connection. So, there is nothing complicated about it. A fairly common process that every user encounters sooner or later.
Viruses
After all the steps described above have been completed correctly, Yota usually starts working. What to do if this does not happen? Often in this case, ordinary viruses interfere with connecting to the Internet. What to do in such a case? There are several solutions for this. You can show your computer and Yota router to specialists so that they can repair them, after first performing diagnostics and establishing the cause of the failure. However, you will have to pay for such a service, so this option is not suitable for everyone. In general, users prefer to “treat” the operating system themselves. To do this, just scan your computer with an antivirus and then disinfect potentially dangerous objects. Processes that cannot be treated must be removed. After this, you should clean the registry. To do this, the CCleaner program will come to the rescue. At the end you need to restart your computer. In addition, it is recommended to reinstall the program with drivers from Yota. After this, you need to check your Internet connection.
General impressions
Thus, it became clear why Yota does not work. Although, despite them, subscribers claim that the main point that must be taken into account is the dishonest work of the Internet provider. In other words, the connection is not of the best quality. Thus, there is a need to face internet connection problems regularly. To avoid this, you can simply not connect to Yota. This is the only way to guarantee that problems with the Internet connection from this provider will not arise. But still, the last word remains with the user. Perhaps Yota will be able to improve the quality, provide new transmission lines, and then all the problems will disappear.
What to do and how to activate the Yota SIM card so that the device sees it
Immediately after we purchase a SIM card, it should be installed. Note that its activation is always carried out automatically. After the owner places it in a special slot of the mobile device, he should launch the operator’s proprietary application. It is this program that should automatically start the activation process. None additional actions will not be required at this stage.
Once the SIM card is recognized and activated, you can proceed to choosing the optimal tariff. We select the connection conditions in the appropriate window, after which we proceed to set up MMS and the Internet.
A few words about setting up mobile Internet. Its correct operation is only possible if the access point (internet.yota) is correctly specified in the cellular network settings. The specific sequence of actions will depend on what operating system we are using.
Well, if yota doesn’t see the SIM card, what should I do? Let's try to figure out this problem.
What to do if the phone does not see the Yota SIM card
Why might it not work?
Yota Internet settings are sent to the smartphone automatically when the SIM card is activated. Unfortunately, the message may end up in spam and the settings must be entered manually. Other reasons are less common:
The SIM card is physically damaged;
The Yota SIM card is inserted into the second slot. If the smartphone has two cards, then Yota needs to be placed in the first slot;
There is no 3G/4G network coverage, in which data transfer is not guaranteed. To avoid the last problem, before purchasing a SIM card, be sure to familiarize yourself with the coverage map on the operator’s official website.
How to set it up?
Point setup Yota access takes no more than a minute:
1. For iPhone, perform the following steps: go to the settings menu, then “Cellular”. Here we select “ Cellular network data transfer" and indicate the APN data "internet.yota", do not fill in other fields.
2. Yota settings for Android: in the settings menu, select “Mobile networks". Find “APN access points”, select “Create access point”, specify:
Name – yota;
APN – internet.yota;
APN type – default,supl;
We do not fill in the username and password.
Important! Some phones may display a roaming icon - R. This problem most often occurs on older devices. How to set up Yota on Android with old firmware? You need to enable data transfer while roaming in your phone settings.
What else should you know?
Yota Internet for a smartphone does not work if the minutes and internet package is not connected. You can activate a service package using your smartphone or by contacting your operator cellular communications to chat. Problems with the Internet can also occur when the signal is low. If less than half of the divisions are displayed, then you need to try to move. When indoors, for example, you should move closer to the window, as walls can negatively affect the quality of data transmission. Some delays in Internet operation may occur after the call. This is due to the phone switching from 2G/3G to an LTE network. The norm is a signal delay of up to 30 seconds. If the wait exceeds this figure, you need to contact the contact center.
Mobile Internet users from Yota complained on social networks about problems with the provider. According to several reports, there was no communication for more than an hour. The Yota press service confirmed to TJ the presence of problems, explaining them as an accident in Moscow.
At the same time, users reported problems with all types of connections at once - both using routers and on mobile devices through the Yota operator.
The Yota press service told TJ that the problems were caused by an accident and promised to compensate for the network downtime.
There was a small network failure in Moscow. Already completely eliminated. All compensation for the period of internet outage will be made as soon as possible.
Yota press service
At about 23:55 Moscow time, that is, about an hour and a half after the shutdown, Yota’s Internet started working again, one of the subscribers told TJ.
In 2014, the Internet provider Yota became mobile operator: announcement on April 23, and issuance of SIM cards in August. The company is a subsidiary of MegaFon and uses its cellular capacities, and Yota itself provides high-speed LTE connections.
Updated January 28 at 17:18: One of the Yota subscribers found out from the operator’s representatives that for an hour’s downtime in the Internet, he was entitled to compensation in the amount of 41 kopecks. In a conversation with him, a Yota support employee asked him to fill out an official application for compensation on a paper form and send it by mail or scan. They promised to make a decision on the adjustment in two weeks.
Yota explained to TJ that for this particular accident, a different settlement procedure will be used.
→Many who have used or are using unlimited internet Yota are faced with the problem of a weak signal, which leads to low data download speeds. This is, of course, upsetting and frustrating. It even happens that it seemed to be normal before, but now the signal is bad. What to do if the Iota signal is weak, and how to strengthen it?
Let's look at the causes of the problem and ways to solve it.
- The operator changed the directions of the radiation sectors. The case is when you are within the coverage area of the Yota network (judging by the coverage map), probably even close to the base station (BS), but the Yota signal is weak and unstable. Any mobile operator, including Yota, can periodically change the directions of transmitting antennas (emitters). This is due to the dynamic load distribution in different zones BS service. If yesterday your Yota modem worked perfectly, but today it can barely breathe, this is just such a case.
- New buildings or trees have appeared in the signal path. This is especially true in the private sector. One of the neighbors built a house or planted a tall tree. Most likely, the last thing they thought about was that this could somehow interfere with the Yota signal and your peace of mind. Depending on the materials of the house, the signal may be absorbed or reflected (shielded), and high green spaces- This is a natural barrier to the propagation of radio signals.
- The operator has closed the BS service. This rarely happens, however, it does happen. As part of the network reorganization, the operator may well remove the BS or move it. In this case, the signal may disappear altogether, or your modem will pick up the signal of another BS.
- A large number of subscribers to the BS. In this case, the operator, of course, should change the BS equipment to a more powerful one, but this does not always happen. In the case of a sharp increase in the number of subscribers served by the base station, the signal for each of them deteriorates, becomes noisy, and the speed drops.
What to do if the Iota signal is weak?
- Try to move the modem closer to the window, preferably in the direction of the Yota base station. This may require a USB extension cable. It is not recommended to use USB extension cables longer than 5 meters; in addition, cheap USB cables may not work with the modem at all.
- Try moving the modem to another room, to another floor. Thick walls, especially brick and reinforced concrete, hinder signal propagation.
- Use a special outdoor 4G antenna. In this case, a panel antenna will help to catch and amplify a scattered signal, and a parabolic or directional antenna will help tune in to a base station at a great distance. It is recommended to use antennas with MIMO technology, because... this allows you to catch a signal simultaneously in the horizontal and vertical planes, which has a positive effect on the quality and stability of the signal, and therefore the speed of the Internet.
Note that the antenna is a passive element and does not have a 4G LTE amplifier. Gain Yota signal is achieved only by changing the antenna radiation pattern and more accurately focusing the signal. A quantitative measure of the efficiency of an antenna is the gain factor (GC). The more antenna gain, the narrower its radiation pattern and the more difficult it will be to point such an antenna exactly at the base station. Moreover, it is necessary to tune the antenna in two planes: horizontal and vertical.
For accurate signal evaluation and selection necessary equipment To strengthen the Yota signal, you should contact specialists. We offer the service "
Hello, Ruslan Nova is with you again, and today we will talk about how to improve the signal of the YOTA modem. Modems of this type do not always cope with their work as we would like. In this article we will analyze a process that will significantly enhance the signal coming from the device, thereby speeding up your work on the Internet.
What will it take?
Huawei e3372 3G/4G modem with universal firmware.
Antenna AX-2513PF with dual polarization.
Two coaxial cables with a resistance of 75 ohms.
Two adapters (pigtail type) CRC-9 for the modem.
4 F-connectors for rg-6 cable.
This is what the assembled set of necessary parts looks like. Check the photo to make sure everything is in place.
ATTENTION! An important note is that the quality of signal reception is greatly affected by interfering branches and foliage. The fewer obstacles in the way of waves, the better. This will allow you to understand how to improve the YOTA modem signal as much as possible.
It is also necessary to adjust the length of the coaxial cable, since the shorter it is, the better.
This is how I installed the antenna.
Work process
Initially, I realized that I would not do all the work on a modem from YOTA, since such devices have low-quality connectors for installing an external antenna. But if you have a personal soldering station, then there will be no problems with installing pigtails, and you can use modem models from the above-mentioned brand.
As an alternative, it was decided to purchase a ready-made modem, which was obviously unlocked from the standard operator, and also flashed with software from Huawei. Afterwards the SIM card was replaced with operator Yota. Everything works stably, the speed is high enough for comfortable surfing of web pages.
How to improve the YOTA modem signal?
The process itself does not take much time, since assembly and installation are intuitive. To do this you do not need to have any technical knowledge, since the difficulty can only be presented by the stage of choosing the location of the antenna that will amplify the signal.
All you need is:
~ It is necessary to strip the ends of the coaxial cable, freeing them from insulation.
~ Then prepare the F-connectors and screw them into the ends of each of the cables.
~ Then the pittails are screwed into each cable, and their ends must be connected to the connectors on the modem.
~ We screw the remaining two free ends with F-connectors into the antenna.
We use two cables because our antenna is dual polarized, which allows it to pick up the signal both horizontally and vertically.
Then follow the instructions described above. Try to place it as high as possible so that there are no obstacles during the catching process.
Speed measurements
Speed to work.
In the screenshot above there are numbers in the upper right corner. Without going into details, we can say that the lower this indicator, the better. At the moment it has stopped at -77.
Speed after work.
As you can see, the above figure has dropped to -59 and -63 dBm, which allows us to use the Internet comfortably.
The biggest negative impact on the passage of a high-quality signal from wireless technologies - 4G or LTE - is exerted by:
- terrain;
- location of the receiving device;
- distance from the base station.
And the most reliable way to amplify the yota signal - use antennas. According to experts, external antennas are best suited for this purpose. It is they who contribute to a significant increase in the signal where the quality of the coverage is weak, and the appearance where it has not existed at all until now. The choice of signal strength is important. If it is impossible to calculate, we recommend choosing in the range from 20 to 25 dB. It is special amplifiers and antennas that will be able to provide the optimal signal value even at a great distance from the base station. Often, Yota signal amplification can be achieved by placing the modem outside so that the walls and ceilings of the building do not create interference. And you can even purchase special devices for installation on the street, because they combine the properties of a modem and an amplifying antenna.
Let's help ourselves
The same experts warn that users should not make homemade devices. But, as practice shows, they also have the right to life, and provide the appropriate level of signal transmission enhancement. Therefore, do-it-yourself Yota lte signal amplification is often much more effective than factory devices. For example, this can be done well using a satellite dish by installing a modem on it. Although it could be a homemade antenna made from a metal or aluminum lid from a large saucepan.
An offset satellite dish is very good for this purpose. A USB modem is installed on it at the focus of the dish and directed in the direction of the transmitting tower. Tuning is carried out by turning the antenna and rotating it around its own axis.
In addition to antennas, there are other ways to increase the strength of the broadcast. It is necessary to reduce the amount of equipment that is allowed to use MAC addressing. Hide your name wireless network, because quality and speed drop due to users wanting to connect to you. You can strengthen the signal using another router by connecting them - it is better to use two identical models. An important factor the location of the broadcasting device remains: it is advisable that there are no bulky solid objects or other electronic devices nearby.
People in need high-speed Internet, use Iota. Subscribers who constantly conduct testing claim that Yota cuts the speed and can limit it, and the stated high figure is not true. Is this so and how to increase Yota Internet speed will be discussed below.
The speed of transmission is affected by influences that influence the change and acceleration of indicators. It would be wrong to say that it is possible to use a certain speed in different conditions. It may increase in some areas and decrease in others.
The influence turns out to be factors:
- location;
- coating;
- tariff plan.
If we talk about the maximum values, then Yota provides 20 megabits per second. If we consider the indicators in practice, they can vary from 15 to 17 Mbit/s. Despite this, they are enough for normal use of the network, watching videos on YouTube and downloading information.
As for the maximum declared 3G parameters, here things are worse. 3G should work at 28 Mbps. Practice shows the opposite. Transmission occurs at 12-15 Mbit/sec, which is generally not bad for a provider. These indicators are relevant where there is good coverage. In remote areas, 3-5 megabits per second does not exceed.
Finally, I want to talk about 4G/LTE Internet. Yota 4G Internet really reaches 20 megabits per second. Thanks to this, more and more users prefer LTE Internet.
Not all subscribers are satisfied with the company’s services; on the Internet, an increasing number of people are interested in how to increase Yota speed.
Magnification options
To control communication, regardless of the device, Yota has created an application that does not allow you to cut indicators. The program is called Yota speed controller. There are many versions of the application.
On the computer
When using communication services via a modem, users are wondering how to remove the Internet speed limit. Using a modem, you can make it interact with a regular SIM card. To do this, you just need to change the IMEI values in the settings. Then, to bypass the limitation via a computer, you need to set the value TTL=65. When the modem is connected to the computer, the value is decreased by one. The subscriber will be able to improve communication in this way by accessing the network via a modem. In addition, you can change the speed by installing an external antenna, which will serve as an accelerator. You can do it yourself by placing the modem in the center.
On the phone
The Internet provided by the Yota provider is high-speed, but subscribers are still trying to find a way to bypass Yota’s speed limits. Since use mobile internet increases every year, new ways to improve performance appear. To answer the question of how to bypass the restriction, you should first change your tariff plan.
In addition, an increase in indicators can be achieved in the following ways:
- configure your browser;
- use third-party software;
- optimize the connection.
Practice shows that it is possible to increase performance and circumvent restrictions.
Basically this can be achieved in the following ways:
- install an antenna;
- use special programs;
- change parameters.
Conclusion
Thus, regardless of the device on which you use the Yota Internet, you can always find a way to improve performance and comfortable work on the network. If we talk about a modem for a PC, then the best option would be to use a signal amplifier by making a homemade antenna. But on a phone or tablet, it’s best to use special software and make optimization settings.
