Previously, some models of modems and routers from Iota had a special program installed to manage services. This is a Yota Access application with quite extensive functionality:

• Checking connection status;
• Monitoring the volume of received and sent Internet traffic;
• Changing tariff plan settings.

Due to the appearance of a functional personal account on the official website, Yota Access has become irrelevant. Therefore, the company decided to stop supporting her. Now it is impossible to download the software from the official website. Owners of an Internet center can manage services via a personal account.

If you still want to use the application in question, you can download it from a third-party resource using the link: https://yadi.sk/d/m0apRH023PnSq5. It is important to note that the operator does not guarantee the correct operation of the program today. And the technical support service does not help solve problems with it.
