You can provide 4G Internet to a dacha in the Moscow region or Moscow region in various ways. If services in a locality are provided by a provider specializing in optical cable, you can choose this option. High-speed Internet using modern technologies will provide the owner of a summer cottage with a reliable and stable network. But not all areas of the Moscow region have such a connection available. More often, Moscow residents with suburban real estate prefer mobile Internet, which is not inferior in quality to wired technologies. This solution makes it possible to use unlimited tariffs and the Internet at optimal speed. At a dacha in the Moscow region, most people choose 3G and 4G connections. Each user can choose any operator, choose a suitable tariff and use country Internet outside the city.
Internet to the dacha from Megafon
At the moment, Beeline is one of the leaders among Russian cellular operators and is a provider of reliable Internet. Connecting to the Internet from Megafon is very simple. Tariffs can be found in detail on the company’s website. For a smoothly functioning network, you will need to purchase a modem.
Megafon offers subscribers:
- the most simple and understandable connection conditions
- favorable rates
- suitable solutions for various purposes
- stable connection
To connect to the Internet from Megafon, you need to decide on the amount of traffic, buy special equipment and start enjoying a smoothly operating network. The company also offers clients unlimited solutions that deserve attention.
Router for 4G modem Megafon
Like Beeline and MTS, Megafon also offers its customers the advantageous purchase of special routers that can work in conjunction with mobile modems. Even a beginner can connect and configure a Megafon router, since there are usually no problems with this. Using a Megafon 4G router has many advantages. This is the best option for organizing the Internet at the dacha or in a country house. The router will be able to provide a network to all the gadgets in the house. According to the operator, a maximum of eight devices can access the Internet simultaneously from one router. Therefore, if you wish, you can connect the Internet in this way on all smartphones, tablets and even on your TV. There should be no problems with connection and settings. If you carry out all the steps step by step according to the instructions, the installation and configuration process will go as quickly as possible. It is also worth noting that this device is autonomous, since its body has a built-in battery. Therefore, the user does not have to connect the device to the network or PC for power.
Rates
This year the company is ready to offer two tariff plans for modems and routers. They are distinguished by a sufficient amount of traffic and affordable prices. Residents of the Moscow region who constantly use the Internet from a laptop prefer this solution. Megafon's services are also used by Russians who have country houses in the Moscow region. The basic tariff plan for a modem is suitable for use in modems, tablets, and routers. It's called Megafon Online. The cost of services directly depends on the region. A specific feature of this tariff is the absence of a subscription fee, which makes it attractive both for use in the country for a certain time, and for constant use. Another advantage is the absence of speed restrictions. This means that you can download any files and enjoy watching your favorite TV shows and movies online. To activate the tariff, you need to buy a SIM card with such a tariff plan at a mobile phone store. You can find out more about the connection conditions on the operator’s website.
Subscribers are also offered the following tariff plans:
- XL;
- L.
- M;
- S;
- XS.
The last three options are great deals for tablets that also work on laptops.
Such solutions have less GB, but have other advantages, which also deserves attention from users. You can make an informed choice in favor of one tariff or another only after a detailed study of all the features of Megafon tariffs.

Coverage map "Create Wi-Fi"
On the official website you can view the coverage map – moscow.megafon.ru/internet/indoor/. Scroll down and see detailed information on the Internet in the area you need.

The maximum connection speed is 150 Mbit/s.
Modem tariffs
Using unlimited Internet for a laptop in a country house is not a problem. You can opt for the most expensive and large-scale solution from Megafon - the XL tariff plan. The company claims that the most favorable tariff is unlimited. But it must be borne in mind that even this option has limitations. No limits only at night - from one in the morning to seven in the morning. For the rest of the time, the subscriber is given 30 GB per month. This must be taken into account when choosing this tariff. For owners of private houses who spend time outside the city only on weekends or holidays, this is a suitable option. You can connect the tariff through your personal account on the operator’s website. At any time, the subscriber can turn off the tariff and switch to another.
Additional options
Exhausting the provided limit leads to a decrease in speed and termination of access to the Network. Megafon has developed additional options “Extend the Internet”, providing smartphone owners with additional gigabytes:
- 1 gigabyte, the cost of which is 175 rubles, is activated by the command *370*2#;
- 5 gigabytes will cost the subscriber 400 rubles, the connection combination is *370*1#.
Purchasing additional packages is possible through the Service Guide; the number of times additional options can be activated is unlimited.
The rest of the traffic on Megafon is checked by the subscriber through a special command *558# or the user account.
Before choosing a tariff plan, evaluate your needs for Internet services. The required connection package is determined by the purpose or time of use of the World Wide Web.
Tariff M
Megafon offers this option for tablet owners, but they also use it on a laptop. Among other Internet tariffs for a laptop from Megafon, this one is the most popular. Subscribers are given thirty GB, which are divided in the same way as in the tariff mentioned above. The monthly fee for using the service will be just over four hundred rubles. Just like in the L tariff, in this case bonus content is provided - two movies per month and television. Internet speed will directly depend on the location of the connection and the availability of 4G nearby. You can activate the tariff through the operator’s website in your personal account.
Eventually
If your home does not have wired Internet, you can think about connecting.
For example, I pay my provider for 100 Mbps. 500 rubles a month and MegaFon’s offer are absolutely uninteresting to me. But not all homes have wired Internet and, as an alternative, the “Wi-Fi for yourself” and “Wi-Fi for family” tariffs are quite interesting.
If you live alone, take “Wi-Fi for yourself.” Several people in the apartment - connect “Wi-Fi for the family.” If you want the “full set”: mobile communications, home Internet and MegaFon-TV - look towards the tariffs of the “Unite!” line.
Extend speed
The option to extend the speed is relevant in cases where the available number of gigabytes runs out and the speed is catastrophically limited to 64 Kbps. The operator has provided two options for users in such situations: extending the speed by one or five gigabytes. If you choose the first option, 160 rubles will be debited from your personal account. And if you choose the second one – 260 rubles. Please note that this offer includes internet only, no additional service packages are provided. To activate the option, you need to go to the Megafon website and, using your personal account, select the appropriate item.
Internet for smartphone
Let's start with the most important thing - the operator offers subscribers unlimited Internet (unlimited amount of traffic).

What's the catch?

Option “Your Internet”
Many subscribers are accustomed to their tariff without the Internet, so they do not want to change it. It is not necessary to do this at all. Because you can connect this option and get the required number of gigabytes of Internet.
How many gigabytes (credited every month) can be connected under the option:
- 7 GB (400 rubles per month) - in addition to Internet traffic, the subscriber is given access to 50 Megafon TV channels;
- 15 GB (500 rubles per month) - Internet traffic, a set of movies, TV series. Access to TV channels for a period of 6 months;
- 30 GB (750 rubles per month) - traffic, films, TV series, TV channels for 12 months.
- 50 GB (1000 rubles per month) - Internet traffic is spent during the day, at night - completely unlimited.
The offer is valid for tablets and smartphones. “Your Internet 15/30 GB” can be connected to a router or modem. “Your Internet 50 GB” for a modem, in addition to a smartphone and tablet.
Please note that this option may not be available for some plans.
The big bonus of this option is that, if necessary, you can turn it off for a certain period when there is no need for the Internet. The amount of Internet traffic can be changed at any time without disabling the option.
S and XS
Tariff S gives you the opportunity to use 5 gigabytes of the Internet for 299 rubles. In addition, the operator provides TV and one movie. You can connect through a special request or by sending a message to the number, which can be clarified on the Megafon website. The XS tariff plan assumes only two GB, and the cost will cost 140 rubles. Access to television is also provided. It can also be connected on the website through the user’s personal account. The operator offers such solutions for tablets, although subscribers also use them on other devices.
Despite lucrative offers, unlimited tariffs and many pleasant bonuses, the operator still does not let customers forget about the restrictions. In fact, unlimited Internet can only be used at night, which is not always convenient for every subscriber. And during the day, users again face restrictions. But even despite such disadvantages, subscribers are satisfied with the company’s services and approach. The main advantage is a stable and reliable Internet. To connect to Megafon mobile Internet, you need to purchase special equipment and select a tariff plan suitable for your purposes.
Basic tariff plan
Users are provided with the standard Megafon Online tariff, suitable for routers and modem devices. The tariff conditions are unfavorable for subscribers: money is debited for each megabyte of traffic spent. Access to the network is available to subscribers with a basic service throughout Russia. Terms of provision:
- There is no subscription fee;
- Megabyte of traffic used within the home region – 2.5 rubles;
- 3G and 4G modem operating in Russia outside the connection area - 9.9 rubles/MB.
Clients of the provider can activate Megafon Online for modems on their own:
- Take advantage of the capabilities of the Service Guide - the subscriber’s personal account;
- Enter the activation code attached to the tariff plan – *510#;
- Buy a new SIM with basic tariffs.
It is proposed to optimize the costs associated with Internet traffic using additional options developed by the cellular operator.
Important! A subscriber who has at least 201 rubles on his card balance will be able to switch to the service.
Settings
This router, in theory, already knows all the available settings for connecting to the 3G/4G Megafon network. So the user can simply configure access to the Wi-Fi network.
- Open any browser and go to this page – https://status.megafon.ru/. If you don't see the router's Web page, try these IP addresses:
- 192.168.8.1
- 192.168.9.1 – on older versions 2, 3, 4.
- 192.168.0.1
- You should now see the configuration login page. You will be asked to enter a password, but you will immediately be prompted that the standard password is “admin” (write all letters in small case). On older models they may also ask for a login, which will also be “admin”.
- Hooray! We got inside. Let's go right in and set up a Wi-Fi network. Go to the “Settings” tab, which is located in the middle. In the first field, enter the name of the wireless network that will be displayed during the search. Next, select the encryption type “WPA2/PSK+AES”. Enter the key below. Advice - do not use simple passwords consisting of only numbers.
- It is recommended to set the network type to 4G, but it is better to set the “Auto” mode so that the router itself automatically receives information according to the required standard. Below we disable roaming.
- You can set the maximum number of connected clients. In general, the function is not particularly needed, since the router is pocket-sized, and you constantly control its connection.
There are also two tabs:
- “Status” – you can see complete information on connecting devices, transferring information and the type of connection that is currently being used.
- “Messages” – everything is clear here, you can read and send SMS messages there.
Impressions: everything works as promised
First of all, I tested my home Internet. Logical, because this is part of the connection procedure.
iPhones catch an average of 450 Mbit/s per download across the room from the router. There is nowhere to go further, and if you stand closer, the speed almost does not rise higher.
The iMac in the other room easily carries all 500-plus Mbps through its built-in Wi-Fi module. The 16-inch MacBook produces about 450 Mbps.
The 2021 iPad Pro reaches 500 Mbit/s everywhere in the apartment, and once again I am amazed at the power of its Wi-Fi. Ping is minimal, a few m/s.
Regarding cellular communications, I’m unlikely to say anything new: for two years in a row, experts have recognized MegaFon as the fastest operator in Russia. There are both 100 and 150 Mbps on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I am satisfied with the speed of the mobile Internet, as well as the connection.
MegaFon TV set-top box interface.
I checked TV last, since I don’t watch it myself, it’s more for my wife and son. The picture quality is good, the console itself works with slight brakes in the menu, but it doesn’t hurt your nerves. The main thing is that you can now watch programs that were broadcast a few hours ago. And there are so many channels that at some point I got tired of flipping through them.
Everything works so stably that, in general, I don’t even have anything to write about here. They delivered as much as they promised in terms of speed. And that same 50% discount was activated, as promised on the site.
This is definitely the best 650 rubles I spent in 2020.
If you sign up now, you get a 50% discount for three months
Screenshot from MegaFon website.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even pay attention to the tariffs - there is too much other news and work right now. But when I saw a promotion for three months at half price for any of the options, and even from a major operator...
It turns out that, say, in Moscow (prices and conditions may be different in the regions), you will pay not 650 rubles for the basic tariff, but only 325 rubles. With the top one, the savings in rubles will be even more noticeable - the same 650 rubles, but with a discount.
Double discount for three most important (okay, two most important, TV - no offense) services! Great combo. Judge for yourself, here is a list of current tariffs.
