Review of Yota routers
The company offers a relatively extensive selection of devices that provide wireless network connectivity. Some models are universal and can work without being connected to a power supply, while others allow work to be carried out exclusively using the power supply. Thus, the company has developed a range of models in which each client can choose the device he needs. At the same time, the company tried to minimize the costs of its customers and developed special SIM cards for the company’s Internet devices.
Important! Yota routers are divided into two types: routers with a modem and without a modem.
Yota Many router (with modem)
Like all the company’s devices designed for working on the Internet and distributing a Wi-Fi network, it has a laconic design and is available in two colors: white and black.
According to the stated characteristics of the operator, it can maintain uninterrupted network supply for up to 16 hours at high speed and allows the connection of 8 users simultaneously. The operation of a router directly depends on the technical device to which it is connected. The connection occurs via a USB connector.
Yota router – Internet center b315 (with modem)
The router of this model also works using a modem and is a more serious device intended for installation in an office or in a large house, where large capacity is required for connected devices without losing data transfer speed to the Internet.
The router has in its arsenal the ability to create a local network (small transmission volumes), and the direct function of the device is to distribute a wi-fi network.
32 devices can be connected to such a device, and its range of action is designed to be more than 40 meters.
Important! The router works properly at high data transfer speeds, in places quite remote from communication towers, but it requires additional connection and configuration of antennas. Antennas are not included with the router. And the price of such a model varies on average from 6 to 10 thousand rubles.
Yota Ready (Mini) - with built-in modem
This device model is intended for use at home or in office spaces with a small number of users.
The router connects to the power transmission network and does not operate on a built-in battery, while the kit already includes two antennas that ensure data transmission at the most remote points from communication towers. The cost of such a router is quite affordable and does not exceed 5 thousand rubles. The offered model has only one color - black.
Yota Ready (Viva) - with modem
The router comes with a modem and two antennas and is also intended for personal use at home. It assumes a wired network connection to the device, with a distinctive feature being the individual settings of the router, which increase the speed of data transfer on the Internet. In Wi-Fi mode, the router operates at the same speeds as the previous model.
The router cannot boast of external data; it is almost identical to the previous version, and in terms of color it has only black. The price of such a model slightly exceeds 5 thousand rubles.
Yota Ready (Maxi) – with modem
The router operates at high Internet speeds and has two types of network connections: wireless and using a local connection.
The kit includes two antennas to increase the network feed speed. Antennas are components, which means that the Yota subscriber himself makes the decision to install them. At a point where communication towers are located at a short distance, the router operates without antennas. The router also has a connector for connecting a TV.
External data, like previous models of the Ready family, has one color option and does not have any special design features.
Each router from the Yota provider is designed for individual user selection, thereby choosing the required model, the company’s client does not overpay for functions he does not need. Each model has simple settings and does not require additional installation drivers or unpackers.
Reviews
In general, users of all presented options note the practicality and ease of connecting devices; they also approve of the design and compactness of most models, as well as the low subscription fee in conditions of fast Internet operation.
Of the negative comments, the most common mention is that some models, such as Yota Mani, break down relatively quickly and do not last long in operation. Some users note that the router of this model does not withstand the stated 16 hours of operation, and is only active for 6-10 hours.
The possibility of network-Internet differences is often noted, but for the most part, such reviews are found in areas with a great distance from the network supply communication towers.
Important! When paying attention to customer reviews, you should take into account the facts of the territorial location of Yota’s customers, as well as the individual user’s individual use of their device, as well as the correct settings of the routers.
