In the age of modern computer technology, many people simply need to stay on the Internet, regardless of location. Even away from your home router and free Wi-Fi hotspots. Beeline 4G modems allow you to do this anywhere in the country for very ridiculous money.
Benefits
To date, the 4G coverage area of ​​mobile operators is almost inferior to that of similar 3G. Every month, Beeline is trying to expand this zone so that even in the most remote corners of the country, users can use high-speed Internet without unnecessary difficulties. And this is a great advantage. Beeline 4G modems began to be released not so long ago, but their cost is quite low. And this despite the fact that the conditions for their use are very beneficial to the buyer. And this is also an indisputable advantage.
disadvantages
Naturally, not everything is as rosy as users would like. And the Beeline operator is partly to blame for this. The 4G modem (photo above) does not always allow the user to work at maximum speed. This is due to the fact that often the load on the network in some area is too high, so data transfer is much slower than stated. Another disadvantage is the so-called "network pits." In some areas, the signal is good enough, but when it moves it “sags”. And 4G or 3G does not always work in these places.
Modem Models
Beeline 4G modems are now available in three versions. Moreover, they all work only with the SIM card of a particular operator. Although, if desired, they can be “unlocked” not only under Beeline, but also under any other connection. So, the models that are released today:
- ZTE MF831;
- ZTE MF823D;
- HUAWEI E3370 In general, they are all alike, but there are some differences. At the same time, Beeline 4G modems are absolutely identical.
Cost
Today, you can purchase a Beeline 4G LTE modem at a price of 799 rubles per set. It includes the device itself and a SIM card with 12 GB traffic, designed for two weeks of use after activation. It is important! Not after the purchase, namely after the activation of the SIM card itself. At the same time, you can choose any tariff available today. And those who have, from time immemorial, been connected, but not paid for by long, a SIM card with the Internet, can reactivate it at any time on the same terms. However, as practice shows, modern conditions are usually more favorable than those that were in place a year or two ago. And since the equipment is definitely outdated in its properties, it is advisable to change it at least once a year.
ZTE MF831 and ZTE MF823D
Actually, visually, the models are similar to each other, with the exception of some details. So, the Beeline 4G-modem ZTE MF823 D does not have an external antenna or even an exit under it. That is, to independently increase the strength of the transmit-receive signal does not work. But the later version of the ZTE MF831 has both an internal powerful antenna and an external connector. At the same time, both models only support Beeline SIM cards, unless, of course, they are unlocked on their own. The data transfer rate for both versions of the modems is 50 Mb / s, and the reception speed is up to 150 Mb / s. This is quite an average and standard result for modern “whistles”.
Huawei E3370
Initially, all mobile modems were manufactured for mobile operators by Highway. Later, other companies took up the creation and implementation. The Beeline company today offers modems with support for 4G networks of the Huawei E3370 model. This is a modern, “smart” and popular version for accessing the Internet. The data transfer rate in it is 50 Mb / s, and the reception rate is up to 100 Mb / s. Which, by the way, loses to similar modems from ZTE. But the model has its own advantage - a slot for a memory card so that you can use the device not only to access the World Wide Web, but also to store important files.
Reviews
Of course, usually users leave them not about any particular device model, but about the quality of the connection as a whole. Nevertheless, there are those who are satisfied or not satisfied with the modem itself. For example, some people like the fact that you can manually set the settings to “only modem”. This is useful for those who want to use the device not only on a laptop, for example, but also on a tablet, where there is no way to independently activate this option. By default, the gadget defines a “whistle” as a memory card. But this is no longer Beeline’s problem. The 4G modem, reviews of which are generally positive, can become a reliable assistant for accessing the network anywhere in the country or city. At the same time, you don’t have to worry about settings and drivers - everything is already configured and built into the device itself, you only need to connect it to the USB port. But many users are not happy with the signal quality. Some complain that modems work very slowly, while competing mobile operators work flawlessly. Others complain that sometimes the signal disappears for no apparent reason, and the network jumps from 4G to 2G and vice versa. But these are, rather, temporary territorial difficulties than marriage or poor-quality devices.
Modem routers
Not always conventional mobile modems satisfy all the requirements of users. And although most of them know how to distribute Wi-Fi from a laptop on their own, they prefer to use routers for these purposes. Moreover, having a laptop computer is not necessary at all. The Beeline 4G modem router allows several users to connect to the World Wide Web via Wi-Fi simultaneously. In total, the device is designed for 10 simultaneous connections. It is worth remembering that the entire transmission rate will be distributed equally between them. By the way, the router can also be used as a regular modem by connecting it to a stationary personal computer using the USB cable included in the package. At the same time, you can distribute "over the air" Internet access for your gadgets.
Profitable shares
It is worthwhile to carefully monitor all possible promotions that the operator arranges. So, for example, the Beeline modem can be purchased at a price of 799 rubles with 12-gigabyte traffic already paid for two weeks, or you can buy a router for only 1200 rubles. The latter comes with 30 GB for the same 14 days. And night traffic is not charged, and by default, a connection is made to the “Highway 20 GB” tariff for a month. This is beneficial to both the operator and the customers. Another nice and useful action is the modem router Huawei E5573 from Beeline with paid traffic of 30 GB. But not just for two weeks, but for a whole month. The cost of the promotional product is 1200 rubles. From the second month, the tariff “Simple Internet. Postpaid ”, which means paying the same amount. Traffic is given in 30 GB, but night time is also charged. Modern users like this particular action, since they practically get a router for nothing, and even access to the Internet on fairly favorable terms.
