Recommended routers for Beeline

The provider can guarantee simple setup and stable operation in Smart Box routers. The line of these devices is a proprietary Beeline solution. However, they may cost more than other routers with similar capabilities and quality. The operator supports routers from other manufacturers, but mainly from popular ones: ASUS, D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, TP-Link, Zyxel.

This does not mean that all models from these companies are suitable by default. The official Beeline website has a list of supported routers for each brand.

Possible connection problems and solutions

Below are the most common user errors that lead to problems working with the Beeline network. Some problems can be solved in several steps, while others present significant difficulties.

No work immediately after connection

If this error occurs, you need to check that the device is connected correctly to the USB port and carefully study the settings. If there is no connection between the modem and the PC, it will not appear in the list of connected devices. You need to remove the device and reinsert it into the connector.

If the laptop does not see the modem, try connecting the modem to another USB port of the laptop

Another option is a lack of device configuration or a software failure. In order to resolve the situation, you need to check all the settings, which are described in detail above in the steps for setting up the basic parameters of the modem.

The modem stopped functioning after working correctly

There may be several reasons:

Change settings. It is observed when the modem is frequently moved between different PCs.
No subscription fee and limited access to the network.
Technical problems on the part of the company (repair work, broken optical fiber, etc.).

The following actions need to be taken:

Log in to the Beeline Internet management program from the desktop or from the Start menu.

Launch the “Beeline USB modem” icon by double-clicking the left mouse button
Check if you have a positive balance by going to the “Account Management” section. Then open the “My Balance” tab in the “My Data” block.

Go to the “Account Management” section

In the “My Data” block, open the “My Balance” tab
Assess the correctness of the settings (detailed above).

If such actions do not bring any effect, you need to contact technical support, which works around the clock. A specialist will study the problem in detail through remote diagnostics and suggest solutions. Company phone number: 8-800-700-8000.

Login to settings

Logging into the Beeline router proceeds according to the following algorithm:

Open your browser. It is not necessary that you have an active Internet connection, but the router must be connected to the computer.
Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser's address bar and press Enter. This is the standard address for logging into the admin panel of most routers. Other possible addresses: my.keenetic.net, tplinkwifi.net, 192.168.0.1 (look on the bottom sticker of the router).
You will be asked for your login and password. Default: admin and 1234 or also admin. The provider may change them. In this case, look for the current login and password in the contract or on the sticker.
In some routers, the system will ask you to reset the default password and set a new one. Create a password and repeat it in a special window. After this, you will be allowed to log in to the admin panel. For the next login, you need to use the password you created.

Technical problems with user equipment

Banal physical factors can act as a causal factor:

Incorrect operation of the USB port (you need to connect the modem to any free interface);
accumulation of dust in the system unit, long-term absence of changing thermal paste (as a result, the operation of any unit from the group of peripheral devices is disabled);
violation of the integrity of the modem (to check, you need to insert the device into the port of any other computer).

Often the problem does not present serious difficulties. If the above steps do not help, you need to contact customer support.

Infecting your computer with viruses

Infection of a computer with viruses of any origin can block access to the Internet

Very often, after viewing unwanted sites or active surfing, the operating system becomes infected with viruses of any origin. They can not only block access to the Internet, but also carry out illegal operations (for example, DDOS attacks on bank servers from your device).

To scan and clean it, it is recommended to download any utility from well-known antivirus software manufacturers (for example, Kaspersky Lab or Dr.Web).

Dr.Web antivirus interface

New models of laptops and personal computers have a system recovery option.

Tariff plan for modem

Users are provided with unlimited Internet, but the amount of traffic depends on the chosen tariff. Additionally, it is recommended to connect the “Highway” and “Internet Forever” options to increase gigabytes beyond the package limit. You can connect any product from the “ALL” line:

Rate	Internet	Cost, rub.
"Everything300"	3 GB	300
"Everything600"	15 GB	600
"Everything900"	22 GB	900
"All 1500"	30 GB	1500

It is not always possible to use the Wi-Fi function; to do this, you need to activate.

Additional features

If you want to know the balance for the month, you can call 06745 or 0611 . In case you don’t know your plan at all, dial *110*05# or go to your personal account.

And to change, use one of the convenient options:

Buy a new SIM card without replacing the flash drive;
Call 0611 and find out the numbers to change your plan;
Go through visiting the personal section on the Beeline website.

But remember that free activation or transfer is carried out only if you have been using the package for at least three months.

Connecting to the Internet via the web interface

Some modems (for example, the MF667) have an alternative way to connect to the Internet, namely through a web interface. During the first connection, a dialog box will appear asking you to activate your starting balance. Do it.

After this, you will be taken to the “Services” menu. Click the Back button and return to the Main Menu. Click the appropriate block in this menu - it is located at the very top of the middle part of the window.

The program will notify you of a successful connection, and the appearance of the block will change.

Features of configuration by router models

General recommendations

Each manufacturer has unique instructions, but to make setting up Beeline home Internet without problems, we recommend using some tips:

Choose a central point in the apartment, but so that the LAN cable reaches the computer. If the setup takes place via Wi-Fi, then install the router so that there are no obstacles in the form of thick walls between it and the laptop. The signal must be at an excellent level.
If the connection is via a modem, before entering the settings, connect the Beeline modem to the router.
Check that the modem is working properly. Pay attention to the USB indicator, which should glow green.
