The YOTA router can work not only with desktop computers and tablets. The device also connects to smartphones and tablets on different bases. Usually, users do not have problems, since setting up YOTA on the tablet is done automatically. After rebooting the product with the connected router, access to the Internet appears. However, in some cases this does not happen, so additional manipulations are required on the part of the owner of the YOTA mobile modem.
General recommendations when setting up the Internet
Before setting up YOTA on your tablet yourself, it is recommended to make sure that all requirements for network access have been met:
