Which router for Tele2 to choose?

All routers that you can buy in this section of our website can be conditionally divided into two types - compact gadgets with a battery for accessing the Internet Tele 2 anywhere at any time, and powerful multifunctional routers - "combines", which are connected to 3G / 4G wireless internet is just one of many useful features. If mobility and the ability to constantly have access to the Tele2 Internet are important to you, we recommend buying a portable portable 3G / 4G router, you can use it even in the car. If you are going to use 3G / 4G Internet Tele2 as backup channel Internet or the main one (in the event that there is no way to connect the wired Internet), a stationary router with wider functionality and usually characterized by a large radius of the Wi-Fi network would be a suitable option.

Not sure which 3G / 4G router to buy? Order a call back and call us yourself - our specialists will select a suitable model for you and, if necessary, even help with its adjustment.

A router is a device designed to provide access to wireless internet computers, tablets. It will perfectly fit any modern phone. Expressed simple language, the router is very similar to, only more versatile. Its main difference from a modem is that it "distributes" Internet traffic via Wi-Fi, and the modem requires a mandatory connection to a computer or laptop via a USB port. In general, these two devices are similar to each other: neither a router nor a modem can work without use, because it is she who carries traffic.

A router on Tele2 can receive different signals - both 3G and, thereby creating a wireless Wi-Fi network, thanks to which Internet access becomes possible. All of them have full compatibility with the Internet from Tele2.

There are several different types of routers, for example, a portable gadget equipped with a battery. It will provide access to the network in every place where there is a corresponding network coverage (recently it has become much more, which makes the task much easier). There are also more powerful gadgets of this type that have wide range functions performed. If the client needs a portable mobile router with the ability to connect to the Internet regardless of location, it would be best to opt for a 3-4G device that can be used even while in the car.

If you plan to use 3-4G networks as backup or main channels when it is impossible to connect to a wired network, it is better to choose a stationary router. Its functionality is much richer, it does not take a long time to configure it, and the coverage radius of the Wi-Fi network is much wider than that of portable options.

In case you have doubts about purchasing a router, you can contact any nearest salon cellular communication Tele2 and with the guidance of experienced sellers, select the model that will be most suitable. Also, the salons can provide assistance in case of problems with the settings.

Advantages and features of modern networks

Not so long ago, only 2G was available with a maximum Internet speed of 474 kbps, and this was considered a big breakthrough in wireless technology. At the present stage, the network coverage, which is the fourth generation - 4G, is spreading more and more actively. The speed of this network is over 100 megabits per second, and it functions perfectly in all large cities... If there is no 4G coverage yet, you can always use a "fallback" in the form of a 3G network. The router will quickly find the network that is currently available.

Due to the obvious progress in the field of wireless connections and a clear improvement in the quality of communication, wired Internet is used less and less, and wireless networks are becoming more and more in demand - due to the fact that it is very convenient for business trips, vacations and other long trips with constant movement. The efficiency of the devices connected to the Network increases significantly.

As for the Tele2 operator, every year it improves its performance in terms of providing consumers with both improved communication quality, and gadgets, with the help of which it can be made available and inexpensively. Tele2 offers users 3 and 4G routers. The following will be given short descriptions their characteristics and features of settings.

3G router from Tele2

All Tele2 routers are manufactured by ZTE. Distinctive features this product is compact and versatile. With its help, you can access the Internet from any gadget: phone, laptop, tablet, and you can connect up to 10 portable devices at the same time.

The way of receiving the signal looks like this: first, he “catches” the network from the operator, and then “distributes” the Internet between all the gadgets connected to it. It is very convenient that this router does not require the installation of specialized software in order to configure it and get started. You just need to insert a SIM card into it and connect it to an available network, and it will do the rest automatically. There is a battery inside the device that will keep you connected for up to 4.5 hours.

The main specifications 3G routers from Tele2 look like this:

maximum internet speed up to 21 Mbps - subject to 3G network coverage from Tele2;
with a range of 10 meters there is the ability to connect up to 10 different gadgets ;
battery capacity router is 1500 mAh;
continuous working time up to 4.5 hours ;
support for 3 and 2G network option - a great "fallback" in case there is no 4G coverage.

In addition to a high-capacity battery, the device has indicators and two slots: for a flash card and a SIM card. Setting up a Tele2 router yourself will not be difficult: you need to insert a SIM card into the slot intended for it and connect the device. It used to be very troublesome to set up such gadgets. Now routers from Tele2 already have all the necessary firmware, supplied with the installed settings. Each gadget is equipped with clear and understandable instructions for use.

Insert the Tele2 SIM card into the router, find the access point on the computer and connect the device to it. The device is equipped with two slots: the second is designed to insert a memory card into it, which can serve as an additional storage device. If the gadget is connected to a PC via a USB port, you can work with this card.

A 3G router from Tele2 has many functions, is simple in terms of setup and operation, is reliable and, being connected to any electronic carrier, is capable of covering large coverage areas. It supports all possible types of Wi-Fi, as well as 2 and 3G coverage areas

4G router from Tele2

This device is also manufactured by ZTE. If necessary, you can work with it in coverage area 2 and 3G. This gadget is even more compact than 3G, but it has one significant feature: the absence of a rechargeable battery with the possibility of powering only from a personal computer via a USB port.

It also has two slots: for a memory card and for a SIM card. The function of "distributing Wi-Fi" is theoretically available, but it will need to be pre-configured from the computer connected to the router. By the way, this option is present on every stationary computer or laptop, but very few users know about it.

Setting up a 4G router is very simple: you just need to connect it to a PC, and the settings will be done automatically. If the setting does not start, in the section " My computer" in point " Removable drive"(We are talking about a router) you should run the file AutoRun.Exe... After the installation is complete, all that remains is to launch the program. The system should notify the user of the connection establishment with a message.

If the settings of the router for some reason still fail, you should seek the advice of specialists.

If there is no 4G network, the device will work in 3G, 3G Wi-Gi or 2G networks. It is clear that the speed will become much slower, but you will remain in touch all the time, and the Internet will not stop working. For example, if you are traveling by train, this option can help you out in any situation.

How much does Internet Tele2 cost for a router

In order to find out which tariffs are the most favorable, you should immediately consult with specialists and purchase the optimal Internet package along with the purchase of a router. Usually the price for a minimum package of 7 GB for 30 days is 499 rubles. This tariff plan can be replaced at any time with another. The largest package of 50 GB for 30 days at a cost of 999 rubles has almost the same advantages as unlimited Internet... You can always inquire about what other bonuses are offered to customers in the nearest Tele2 salon.

Thus, acquiring any WiFi router from Tele2, you get a great opportunity to stay connected anytime, anywhere - of course, in those places where there is any network coverage - from 2 to 4G. Such a device is perfect for a summer residence, for a house and a car. When choosing, you need to consider what network coverage prevails in your region and where you plan to use it. Experienced specialists will always help you choose the best option in order to stay connected under any circumstances.

Tele2 has a technology that solves several problems at once. The WiFi Calling application allows you to use mobile communication and SMS wherever there is Wi-Fi. Now you can send and receive SMS, as well as speak on the phone in the Moscow metro (unless, of course, the noise of trains interferes) and other places where there is no mobile network, as well as use communications and SMS in any country in the world without paying anything for roaming.

When the WiFi Calling app is running, incoming calls and SMS will arrive as usual if the mobile network is available but WI-Fi is not. If there is Wi-Fi, the application accepts calls and SMS, and for the person who calls you, such a call will be no different from the usual one. It is necessary to make outgoing calls and send SMS in the absence of a mobile network in Wi-Fi mode through the application.

After installing the application, you need to activate it. To do this, Wi-Fi must be turned off and turned on. mobile Internet Tele2. Next, the application asks to turn on Wi-Fi and select the networks through which it can work.

The application works only if the phone has a Tele2 SIM card and it is not disabled in the settings of a two-SIM phone. As soon as the SIM card is inactive, an error message appears and the application requires re-activation.

The application always shows its state in the status bar. When it is inactive (no wi-Fi connections) a circle is shown, when active - a circle with a triangle inside. The application tries to connect as soon as Wi-Fi internet appears. It usually takes about 15 seconds to connect. When the application is active, the phone becomes available and SMS arrives that could not be received earlier.

The application copies the list of calls and SMS from the lists of calls and SMS of the phone, while calls received and made via Wi-Fi appear in the phone's call list, and SMS received and sent via Wi-Fi are visible only in the application.

Over some Wi-Fi connections, the application is unstable, periodically disconnecting and giving an error. In particular, this was observed when using the MTS home ADSL Internet (formerly Stream).

Application settings.

Wi-Fi networks can be added at any time, in addition, when the application sees that the smartphone is connected to a new Wi-Fi network, it itself offers to add this network to the list.

I checked how the application works on a dual-SIM smartphone in various modes. If the smartphone allows you to change the network mode for both sim cards (and most smartphones can do this now), the application continues to work even if the 2G mode is set for the Tele2 sim card and it does not see the network (in Moscow, Tele2 does not physically have a 2G network). This makes it possible to continue using Tele2 communication in Moscow even when the 2G mode is set for the Tele2 sim card.

The sound quality for calls over Wi-Fi is almost the same as for regular calls over a mobile network.

Calls and SMS via the app are charged in the same way as regular calls and SMS.

I see several applications of the new technology at once:

Use in the Moscow metro. Now the Tele2 network is available only at a few stations, but all cars have Wi-Fi. The WiFi calling application allows you to stay connected in the metro, although it can only be used in carriages, but not on platforms (the application may not have time to connect to the train's Wi-Fi while it is at the platform);

Roaming use. Now you can make and receive calls, as well as receive and send SMS at home rates, from anywhere in the world by connecting to Wi-Fi.

The ability to use Tele2 mobile communications where there is no network signal, but there is Wi-Fi (for example, in basements).

Use in a two-SIM phone, when the Tele2 sim card is set to 2G mode.

The main limitations of the technology:

The Tele2 sim card must be physically present in the phone and be active;

The application does not work via the mobile Internet of another SIM card in a two-SIM phone;

To activate the application, you need Tele2 mobile Internet (in roaming, this can be a problem, so it is important to activate the application before the trip, do not take out or disconnect the Tele2 SIM card. You can enable "flight mode", activation does not fail).

When the "WiFi Calling" application is launched and the smartphone is connected to Wi-Fi, calls and SMS are received through the application, even if there is a mobile network.

The WiFi calling app is available for Android (4.0 and above) and iOS (7 and above). So far, the service has been launched only for Tele2 subscribers in the Moscow region.

Add me to your friend list

It has become common for us to have mobile phone and the ability to call friends and relatives at any time. And in cases where there is no access to the operator's network, a feeling of isolation from the world is formed. Tele2 partially allowed this question... Thanks to this, you can be in touch in places where there is no network, but there is an Internet connection. This is possible with the help of Tele2's WiFi Calls service.

There are territories where there is no access to the tele2 operator. However, networks of other companies may be served there. If the lack of communication is temporary, the operators agree among themselves about the service on technical roaming - in such cases, it is permissible to use the guest network. In areas in which Tele2 does not serve, the regional roaming mode is activated (at a low cost, as instructed by the FAS).

If you cannot connect to the guest network, you will not be able to make or receive a call. The situation is resolved in the following way - turn on Wi-Fi calls from the operator, join any of the available networks and use the Internet connection. This method is suitable when you are in an area where there are no Tele2 services, but there is an access to the global network.

A short-term lack of mobile network will no longer be scary. At home or at work, if you find that there is no connection, you need to connect to Wi-Fi, download the application from Tele2 and continue using the connection.

Service features

Calls over the Wi-Fi network are made using a special application from Tele2. If you activate wireless hotspots, all calls are made with his participation. There is one drawback - if the signal level is weak, the Wi-Fi call will be suspended. The application for the "WiFi-calls" service provided by Tele2 is located for general access and download in AppStore and Play Market... There are no fees for downloading and using.

Wi-Fi calls are available only for Moscow and Moscow region users. For unknown reasons, subscribers from other regions cannot use them. The service has one more drawback - when the application is turned on, the action is terminated:

Call forwarding - regardless of the settings;
Service "Voice mail" - other subscribers will not dictate a voice notification;
Service "Who called" - no messages about missed calls will come.

There are some drawbacks, however, they are covered by the ability to always be available for communication using Wi-Fi if you are in an area without a network. All that remains is to find the Wi-Fi access point.

The cost of the service is calculated according to the user's tariff, calls and SMS cost the same as for calls from Moscow. An interesting point is observed here - the "Wi-Fi-calls" service can be used abroad, thereby saving on calls. At least this procedure is not prohibited by the operator.

How to activate the Wi-Fi calling service from Tele2

To activate this service, you do not need to go to an office, call center or take additional actions yourself. personal account... The user only needs to upload to his cellular telephone special application "Wi-Fi calls". After installing it, all calls will be made via Wi-Fi. If it is necessary to switch to standard communication, you need to disable the add-on or cancel the action of the access point. Additional settings not required.

Please note that the operator has nothing to do with the quality of communication via Wi-Fi - the service providers are responsible for this. this network... If you have any problems, you need to contact there - calls to Tele2 technical support will not solve this problem.
