Connecting an mts modem. Connecting and setting up the MTS Connect Internet kit

Mobile Internet is one of the most important characteristics of modern cellular communications. It's hard to imagine a device that doesn't support network access. MTS offers its customers high-speed access using the latest 4G standard; you can get a high signal level throughout the country. But in addition to SIM cards, there are specialized external equipment for accessing the network - routers and routers. Today we will study all the ways to connect an MTS modem to a laptop.

Connecting the modem to the computer

MTS produces 3G and 4G devices for users to choose from. They can be purchased at almost any provider service branch in your locality. Check the cost of equipment with the provider representatives in your region.

You can place an order with delivery to your home by paying the courier for delivery and cost. You don't have to leave your home.

Usually the kit comes with the gadget itself and a user manual. It is no larger than a regular memory card. Ideal while traveling or on a trip.

In the body of the product you will find a special slot for a SIM card. For this, you should choose a tariff plan suitable for such purposes, consult with the manager and choose the most acceptable option.


Typically, the provider sells starter kits, which include a modem and a SIM card with an established contract. Often these sets have special offers and discounts, so it is best to purchase everything together rather than separately.

To start using the device, just connect the device to the USB input of your desktop PC or laptop. The system should automatically detect new hardware and activate the software installation driver.

The installation process is quite simple, follow the instructions on the screen. After the completed operation, reboot. A specialized MTS application will appear on the working display. If you click on it, the connection settings menu will appear. To access the Internet, click the start button.

Usually there are no problems with installation. But the computer operating system cannot always determine which device is connected. You will need to manually activate the drivers. To do this, launch Device Manager in the toolbar. It may be in different places on different platforms.


Find unknown hardware in the list and update the drivers. You can download them from the Internet, but you need to select a unique file for your modem model. Check your sources before downloading to avoid getting a virus program. In the future, try to connect the device to the same port so as not to repeat the procedure for other connectors. After this, you will need to configure the access point, but more on that in the following sections of the review.

Attention! The MTS router does not support SIM cards from other operators.

Connecting the modem to the router


For wireless access to the network, special devices have been developed - routers. Some models of them support USB modems; a port is provided for them in the device body. Not all routers are capable of working with cellular operator modems, even if they have a USB connector. To install it you will need:

  1. Carefully study the characteristics of the router before purchasing. Check its compatibility with other devices.
  2. Connect these two devices.
  3. Log in to the internal interface of the router. To do this, enter the code “192.168.0.1” in the address bar of any browser.
  4. Once in the main menu, set the necessary settings. Activate your connection to 3G and LTE networks.
  5. Create a new access point by specifying the following parameters: phone number *99#, name and address write “internet.mts.ru”.
  6. Set up an automatic connection to the network.
  7. Many modern devices come pre-installed with settings for most cellular providers.
  8. Save the changes and reboot the equipment.

After these simple manipulations, you will be able to distribute mobile Internet.

Attention! If the modem does not fit the router, change the software or buy other equipment.

Connecting the modem to the tablet


Few people know, but it is possible to activate the modem on a tablet computer. The installation procedure is quite complicated and not always productive. In this case, it is easier to make connections via a SIM card. You should check whether your device supports such a connection.

Almost all such devices have only a micro USB port. Therefore, you should purchase a special adapter cable - OTG. After docking, the 3G or 4G icon should appear on the display in the upper corner. Now you need to install an access point. To do this, go to the settings, usually they are displayed with an icon like a gear on the desktop, but the location may differ for many models. Find the Mobile Networks tab and create an APN. Enter the name and dialing combination - “internet.mts.ru” and *99#, respectively. After this, you will be able to use your mobile Internet without restrictions.

But situations arise when the tablet cannot detect an external device; it sees the modem as a CD-ROM. To get rid of this value you will need:

  1. Connect the modem to a desktop computer and make changes to it.
  2. Download the Hyper Terminal application and install it.
  3. After launch, select the device - router.
  4. Enter the code command “ate 1”.
  5. After that, enter the value “AT^U2DIAG=0” in the line and confirm.
  6. Now the modem will not be considered as part of the equipment, and the tablet will only see it, and not the CD-ROM.
  7. Try connecting again. This procedure should help.
  8. After this, install the access point specified earlier.

Setting up a modem in Windows 7

If you don't have additional equipment or a router, you can always use your smartphone as a modem. You just need to connect it to a personal computer. You can do this in several ways:

  1. Via IR port.
  2. Via Bluetooth module.
  3. USB connector.

We will consider the third option because it is the most common among users and the simplest. First, you should dock your smartphone with your computer or laptop. Connect the gadget as a modem. To do this, you will need to open the terminal control panel, select the Phone and modem tab. Find the “Modem” item and click on the add new button. Next, specify the path to the driver and install it. Download the file from the Internet in advance, based on your device, it must be compatible with it.

Now let's move on to directly setting the parameters:


Now let's configure the connection:


If the adjustment does not help, do the following:

  1. In the Network and Sharing Center, find the adapter editing tab.
  2. Find the connection you created before and go to properties.
  3. Configure TCP-IP protocol settings. Check some boxes:
  • get default IP identifier;
  • automatic acquisition of DNS servers.
  1. Stop using remote network gateways.
  2. Disable automatic compression of IP protocols.
  3. Click on the “OK” button.

Check the connection. If it still does not form, try restarting your desktop computer.

Setting up a Windows XP modem


The procedure for establishing a connection on this version of the operating system is almost identical. The only difference is the internal layout and design of the interface. All debugging is also done in the toolbar, in the sharing and network control center. The OS manufacturer is the same, so you shouldn't expect major changes. Feel free to build on the previous algorithm.

Let's look at how you can connect via a Bluetooth adapter. This module is not available on all models of laptops and computers. Activate modules simultaneously on your PC and mobile device. The computer will scan nearby points and find the smartphone. After this, you will need to synchronize the terminals by specifying the code combinations. Now you can proceed to changing the settings of the MTS modem.

How to use the application


This utility is installed by default on all MTS modems and is installed automatically. After successful installation, the corresponding MTS Connect shortcut will appear on your desktop. Once you launch it, you will find yourself in the main menu of the program. Here you will see a graph of speed performance statistics. The utility has a number of unique features:


Attention! Some hardware models may not support the listed features.

To connect according to the instructions, just click on the “Connect” button, but your account must have a balance other than zero.

Possible problems and pitfalls

When working with the MTS connection manager, users may encounter a number of problems. For example, the application has a significant impact on performance. If many windows or other programs are open at the same time, it is possible that the utility will freeze. Also, many subscribers complain that this software is poorly combined and configured on a computer with the Windows 10 operating system. You will not be able to use a SIM card from another operator to connect, for many this is a serious drawback. To fix this you will need to flash the software. This operation is not recommended by the manufacturer, as it can cause significant damage to the device.

Setting up a modem is a fairly simple task if it is official equipment from the provider. Using your phone to create a hotspot is much more difficult. But if you want to save money, use the following setup methods.

If you want to work with a modem from MTS, but at the same time use the services of another operator, then reflash the device.

How to connect an MTS modem to a router?

Many people know that all routers are different, and their price directly depends on their capabilities. So, to some models you can connect a USB modem, which will “inflate” the Internet throughout the room. But the price of such a device will be slightly higher, because not every router will be able to support 3G or 4G connections. So, how to connect a modem to a router?

  1. Make sure your devices are compatible.
  2. Install the modem in the router.
  3. Set the necessary settings in the web interface.

If you specify as a dial-up number *99# and the address of the access point internet.ms.ru, then a 3G or 4G connection will be automatically created in the settings. Or you can simply set the router to automatically configure the connection immediately after turning it on. Some models provide pre-set settings for all Russian operators.

If you encounter problems connecting the modem to the router, try updating the software or purchasing a newer router model.

The process of connecting a modem from MTS to a tablet

In the second case, you need to dig around. Install the program " Hyper Terminal» on the computer to get through it to the tablet. Immediately after starting the program, select the desired device, enter the command ate1 and then AT^U2DIAG=0. Click OK.

Attention! Combination AT^U2DIAG=0 created for modems from HUAWEI. If yours is from another company, then find the appropriate command specifically for it.

Many Chinese companies require the connection of a USB modem, so our main task is to change the perception of a flash drive as a CD-ROM to USB. Next you need to configure the connection.

The process of disconnecting the modem from MTS

If the user decides to stop using the MTS modem, then he needs to turn it off. This is done very, very simply. We interrupt the connection in the MTS Connect modem management program (if on a PC) or stop data transfer (if on a tablet). We remove the modem from the USB port.

But many users are new to computer equipment and do not know how to connect an MTS modem, although there is nothing complicated about it. This article will come to the aid of such users.

Buying a modem

So, if you have not purchased a modem yet, then go to a cellular communication store and purchase the modem that best suits you in terms of technical characteristics and price category (MTS modems come in different types and, depending on the set of functions, they differ in price). You purchase, of course, a SIM card for the modem, which already has a tariff that is favorable to you, or install it later, in consultation with a sales consultant.

MTS offers users of their Internet services tariffs that suit user interests, differing in speed and, accordingly, in the amount of the subscription fee. The most popular are unlimited Maxi tariffs.

Connecting a modem

If the modem is purchased, the tariff is configured, and the SIM card is inserted into its slot inside the modem (under the lid), then the main half of the job is already completed. The next step is to take your modem and insert it into the USB connector.

  1. for convenience, you can purchase a USB extension cable so that you can move the modem to a place with the best network coverage and communication quality;
  2. When you insert the modem into the connector after installing the drivers, the computer may display a message stating that if you insert the modem into another USB connector, the speed will increase. Listen to your computer, it knows what it's talking about.

After installing the modem into the connector, the computer detects it and begins automatically installing software, drivers, and displays messages about the installation process on the screen. At this time, do not interfere with his “conversation”. After the installation is complete, a window will pop up informing you about this.

If automatic startup does not occur, install manually:

  1. modem into the connector,
  2. go to “My Computer” - “MTS Connect” - “AutoRun.exe” or “setup.exe” or something similar,

Marrying a modem with a tablet

Now let’s look at the question of how to connect an MTS modem to a tablet. We are also solving this issue, we need to tinker a little, but just a little. To work, in addition to the tablet itself, we may need a computer to change some settings in the modem.

Not all tablets support 3G modems due to the lack of some drivers. These tablets most often include Chinese tablets with Android OS. And if your tablet is of this type then:

  1. connect a modem to a computer running Windows OS and make sure that the modem is working properly;
  2. save all files on the modem’s virtual CD;
  3. Disconnect your computer from the Internet and run the program in the following way: Start - Programs - Accessories - Communications - Hyper Terminal.

Note: Windows XP already has this program, but for Windows 7 you will have to download it.

The following steps are aimed at changing modem settings:

  1. When you launch the Hyper Terminal program, you should see the “Connection Description” window and enter Huawei there;
  2. press Enter;
  3. After a few seconds, the “Connection” window will appear and in the “Connect via” column, select “HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem”, click “OK”.

  5. on the program panel, at the very end, the “Properties” tab is highlighted and follow the following order: Properties: modem - Parameters - ASCII Parameters;
  6. put a checkmark on “Display entered characters on the screen” - “OK”, after which the top window closes, then “OK” again - the middle window closes again, and in the bottom window, the most important one, you will notice the cursor;
  7. Now we come to directly changing the modem settings and, to finish, switch the keyboard to English and to upper case by pressing CAPS LOCK on the keyboard. Enter the AT command, press ENTER, “OK” is displayed in response - communication with the modem is established;
  8. enter the command AT^U2DIAG=0 - press Enter, in response - “OK”, which means that the modem is now in modem only mode.

Note: all settings can be returned or changed to others; there are the following commands for this:

AT^U2DIAG=0 (modem only mode)

AT^U2DIAG=1 (modem + CD-ROM mode)

AT^U2DIAG=255 (modem + CD-ROM + Card Reader mode)

AT^U2DIAG=256 (modem + Card Reader mode).

Now we connect the modem to the tablet:

  1. We perform the following steps: Settings – Wireless networks – Access points (APN)
  2. We enter the parameters of the mobile operator, in this case the MTS parameters:

Name: internet.mts.ru

dial number: *99#

Username/password: mts/mts

Click: use default value

After changing the settings, Android needs to be restarted - restart. If after the restart the message 3G appears on the panel next to the battery level icon, then you did everything correctly.
