Mobile operator and free wireless Internet provider Yota has released a new 4G LTE modem, which has many advantages, the main one being Wi-Fi distribution. This is a new generation service that quickly gained the trust of users.
Yota Wi-Fi modem is the first 4G LTE modem that can distribute Wi-Fi to other devices (phones, tablets or computers). It also does not require installing drivers or other additional programs. In order for it to start functioning, just insert it into the USB connector and wait 15 seconds for authorization to pass.
The new device connects not only to a personal computer or tablet, but also to other gadgets and consoles that have a USB connector. The modem can also work with smartphones, TVs, game consoles, the only condition for this is the ability to Wi-Fi connection, on these devices. Another advantage is that the new 4G LTE modem from Yota has the ability to connect up to 8 devices to Wi-Fi distribution.

Mobile Internet sometimes works well, and sometimes it works very poorly. We can talk endlessly about how the best way out from a situation with poor quality wireless connection is a connection through a wired provider. But in some cases this is not possible. Yes, and on the street it can be very difficult to manage without communication. Let's see what needs to be done if Yota Internet does not work on your phone, tablet or modem.
Understanding mobile devices
A smartphone and a tablet are practically the same thing, the only difference is the size of the display. Therefore, our instructions are equally suitable for both mobile devices. It is on them that users may encounter problems with the Internet - it completely disappears or freezes, incredibly getting on the nerves of subscribers. Let's look at a few main reasons.
Weak signal from Yota network
Poor Yota LTE 4G reception or unstable 3G signal reception always leads to an unstable Internet connection. In this case, mobile devices switch to second generation networks, from which it is generally impossible to achieve normal speed– a maximum of several tens of kilobits, and sometimes even less. The reception indicator on your phone allows you to measure the signal level, but you shouldn’t count on it - it has low accuracy.
If the Internet disappears due to a low signal, you can do the following:
- Return to the zone of reliable reception, where the Internet from Yota worked normally.
- Try switching your phone to forced 3G or 4G mode - sometimes this helps.
- Try rebooting the phone.
It is difficult to improve reception on a phone, because it is not a modem that can be installed at the focus of a store-bought antenna. And if it shows "No Signal" or switches to 2G mode, you should go back to where there is a normal signal.
Base station load
Problems with Yota may arise due to the fault of the operator itself. There are several reasons for the slow speed:
- There are problems with the operator's equipment - you will have to wait until the situation is corrected.
- High load on Yota base stations - the quality of the Internet directly depends on the load on the network.
- Maintenance work may be carried out at one of the base stations - during this time, interruptions in the Internet are possible.
Very rarely problems arise on one specific number - others work fine at this time. In this case, you need to call Yota support and report that the Internet does not work on your phone. Describe the problem in as much detail as possible, force the consultant to transfer the problem to technical specialists.
Features of the network
The Internet works slowly, the phone does not load videos well or does not load any files at all - all this often indicates that the Yota network imposes an artificial connection restriction. This is often observed on modems and routers, but sometimes noticeable “brakes” are applied to handsets. It is impossible to do anything about this - these are the features of Yota and all cellular networks.
Understanding modems and routers
Modems and routers work in fourth-generation Yota networks; they do not work in networks of other generations. This is probably due to some kind of load distribution, so as not to overload the networks of other generations, where hundreds of thousands of handsets and tablets are registered. Let's see what problems can arise with Yota modems and routers.
No Iota network or weak signal
If the modem does not receive Yota 4G, then there will be no Internet. Communication problems most often arise in areas remote from large cities. The low signal strength of Yota leads to a lack of coverage where its presence is indicated on official maps. Signal statistics are shown on the modem status page - this is the SINR and RSRP signal. The higher the numbers, the better the reception of the Yota network. A bad signal needs to be amplified.
The following solutions will help improve Yota 4G LTE Internet reception:
- Moving the modem to an area with a good signal (closer to the window or to the second floor).
- Installing the modem in the focus of the indoor antenna - the statistics page will help you check the Yota signal. If the device is installed correctly and pointed towards nearby base stations, the signal strength numbers should increase.
- Connecting external antennas to the modem is the most best option, helping to improve poor internet from Yota.
The last method is most effective.
There are many specialized companies offering comprehensive solutions for installing receiving and transmitting equipment - they allow you to connect to the Internet at a distance of up to 40 km from the nearest base stations.
You can complain about low Yota signal strength to the operator's help desk. But this rarely leads to any results (unless the problem is widespread).
Features of the network
Iota does not work - the modem is connected, but in general the Internet does not work. The problem may lie in the use of torrents and file-sharing networks. The operator does not hide the fact that it imposes restrictions on the operation of these protocols. There is only one way out - to deceive the operator by encrypting the traffic in a torrent client or via a VPN.
But even in the latter case there may be problems - the operator struggles with any high load. According to some reports, subscribers experience problems even when watching videos frequently. And if your Yota connection is not working, it is quite possible that you are putting a high load on the network - that’s why the Internet is not working.
Sometimes mobile communications or the Yota Internet do not work - today the operator cannot boast of impeccable work. However, the subscriber can cope with some of the problems on his own if he approaches the problem carefully.
Why Yota doesn't work: connection problems
If the subscriber is in the operator’s coverage area, communication difficulties occur, although infrequently, an ordinary user can try to influence this:
- It is worth studying the coverage map in your region. Sometimes coverage within one city is fragmented; communication may not work well when traveling out of town or into sparsely populated areas. In such situations, it is better to take care additional view communications.
- Zero balance - this problem can be easily fixed; after replenishing the account, the connection will start working again.
- Poor quality phone. Unfortunately, today there are many low-quality devices on the market at bargain prices; interruptions in operation on such devices occur constantly, regardless of the operator.
Internet is not working today
Today, subscribers are increasingly asking why Iota began to work poorly; as a rule, dissatisfaction is caused by the quality of the Internet. There are many reasons for low data transfer speeds, uneven performance, or no Internet at all.
Reasons that the subscriber cannot influence:
- Lack of Internet coverage (base station) at your location.
- Failure at the base station.
- Technical work.
- Network congestion (too many subscribers using one station at the same time).
- Weather and natural phenomena. Snowfall, thunderstorms and solar activity affect the radio signal.
Situations in which a subscriber can turn on the Internet or increase speed:
- Settings failed. This happens often, especially with smartphones. The recommendations in this case are simple: you need to try turning off and then turning on data transfer. If it doesn’t help, then the subscriber should go to the network settings and fill in the window with the access point.
- Software problems on PC. These could be outdated drivers, a reinstalled OS, or viruses. If the user is poorly versed in network and system settings, it is better to contact support consultants.
- Weak signal. This is the most common problem, and today there is no universal solution. The first tip is to try moving the device (smartphone, tablet or modem) indoors and look for a signal. An external antenna can help, which you can purchase or make yourself.
What to do if the Internet or communication does not work today
- The first step is universal for all types of problems - you need to restart the device (phone, computer or tablet), and for modems and routers - also check the wires and connections.
- If the problem persists, it is best to contact support; they are available via chat, social networks, you can call 8 800 550 00 07 or write an SMS to 0999. Instead of angry statements: “What’s wrong with Yota”, “Yota is slow” - it’s worth Describe your problem in detail. The consultant will tell you how and what is best to do in this situation.
- If it is not possible to contact support, you must independently determine the cause of the problem and take appropriate action, if possible.
Problems with Yota connection remain today; in November 2017, the operator experienced a massive communication failure, but more often the problems are individual in nature. In many ways, this depends on the region, and rarely does the subscriber have the opportunity to fix something.
Situations when the Iota Internet does not work cannot be called pleasant and acceptable. Moreover, they always turn out to be unexpected and overtake at the most inopportune moment.
The simplest and in a fast way Restoring an interrupted connection is an independent connection restoration. But to understand how to connect to the World Wide Web, you need to figure out why there is no Internet connection. Coping with difficulties without this will be incredibly difficult, and often almost impossible.
It is worth considering that users are not always able to restore communication. In some cases, even the support of specialists will not help, since the only possible way Restoring network access is pending. But such situations are the exception, so you shouldn’t give up in advance. It is wiser and more correct to try to cope with difficulties on your own.
To understand why the Internet does not work on Iota, you need to know possible reasons problems. Many factors can lead to difficulties connecting to the World Wide Web, but the most common are the following:
- zero or negative SIM card balance;
- leaving the coverage area mobile network operator;
- technical problems with the operator;
- crash on Android or any other smartphone or tablet;
- infection of a cell phone with viruses that interfere with its proper and stable operation.
Other reasons can also lead to difficulties, including even bad weather. But in most cases, it is the events listed that lead to the Internet not working on the tablet. Therefore, it is with them that the diagnosis should begin, sequentially considering each indicated option.
Slow Internet
The most common reason that Yota Internet does not work well is poor network coverage or simply difficulties with signal reception. The most accurate indicator that allows you to verify the occurrence of such difficulties is the inscription indicating the absence of a signal or connection to the 2g network. In addition, you can look at mobile reception indicators, which reflect the quality of communication.
These difficulties are associated with quite limited quantity towers owned by a mobile operator. Therefore, the smartest way to increase traffic speed is to return the user to the place where the connection was stable and of high quality.
Additionally, you can try to force a switch to 3g or 4g. As a last resort, you should restart your phone and check if the slow Internet is still there.
Cases of network congestion deserve special attention. In such situations, it will not be easy to correct the situation, although if it turns out to be convenient and possible, you can go closer to the tower owned by the cellular company.
Without internet access
A little less often, but quite often, restrictions are caused by the empty balance of Iota users. Problems with the Internet today can be associated with a banal lack of money, so to combat the difficulties, you just need to check your account status. This instant operation will help you find out how much money is left and will allow you to understand whether it is enough to extend your traffic.
If there are not enough funds on the phone or the account is completely negative, the user should simply add some money to the SIM card, using any available method. Once funds are received, access to the World Wide Web should be restored. If the process of restoring communication takes a long time, you should contact support operators and ask them for clarification and help.
Internet does not work on the phone
You shouldn’t dismiss in advance the idea that the main reason why Iota Internet doesn’t work on your phone is the device itself. Low speed traffic or lack of reception may be due to:
- with a virus on your smartphone;
- with the operation of various programs and applications that consume all available traffic;
- with cell phone malfunctions;
- device failure.
Considering the possible causes of poor internet, the first thing users should do is check whether traffic is being diverted to third-party programs. Next, you just need to restart the tablet. This will help if the problems were related to a crash.
To combat viruses and malfunctions, you should immediately contact specialists. This will significantly speed up repairs and allow you to avoid stupid, thoughtless actions that will further aggravate the current situation.
Internet does not work on tablet
In situations where you cannot figure out on your own why the Internet is not working, you should turn to professionals for help. But before that, you should contact support operators, because it is possible that today there is no connection due to troubles with the cellular company itself.
To contact the contact center consultants, just dial the free service number 88005500007. When a call seems inconvenient or the user is unable to speak, it is worth using alternative forms of communication, for example, online chat on the official website. But you should be prepared for the fact that this approach will take much longer. Therefore, if the subscriber is not going to wait for an answer, the easiest and fastest way is to use the contact number indicated above.
Why doesn't the Internet work?
There are many reasons why Yota users lack access to the World Wide Web. Problems with the Internet may be associated with the subscriber leaving the coverage network, or with virus breakdowns on the smartphone, or with negative balance, and with malfunctions in the work of the operator himself.
Given the variety of possible difficulties, understanding why a user is left without access to the Internet can be difficult. But check the reasons listed above and try to fix possible problems accessible ways even untrained people can. Therefore, you should not panic and worry. Perhaps the difficulties are caused by a minor detail that can be dealt with quickly and easily.
