In this article we will analyze in detail all the current tariffs for a router that communicates with the Internet via WiFi. This type of connection is becoming increasingly popular today and, perhaps, will very soon take the lead from fiber optic cables. The data transfer speed of 4G technology is the same 100 Mb/sec and even more, and the 5G technology currently being tested is as much as 1-2 Gb/sec! The coverage area of large providers covers vast territories. The main advantage of such a router is its mobility - you can take it with you out of town, to the country, on a business trip, and even on a hike.
Wireless modems are also called "portable" or "pocket" modems.
A SIM card is inserted inside the device, so the Internet will work wherever there is a mobile connection from a given cellular operator. The router is compatible with all modern devices: TVs, smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc. To find out how to connect your TV to the Internet via a wifi router, just call your provider's hotline or carefully read the instructions. By the way, such modems most often do not require special configuration - immediately after switching on, the device is configured automatically.
After you have purchased a wireless modem, you need to decide on the provider, that is, choose the appropriate tariff. We recommend paying attention to unlimited tariffs for 4G routers - with them you don’t have to worry about suddenly losing contact with friends and work colleagues.
What to look for when choosing a tariff plan
First of all, decide what services you need from your mobile operator. Large providers today offer their subscribers a lot of good options.
- When choosing a tariff for a Wi-Fi router, do not consider tariff plans for a smartphone. The latter usually include free minutes, messages, and additional services. Immediately study, specifically, the tariffs for a 4G router, without auxiliary options, which are absolutely not important if the SIM card is not in the phone, but in the modem.
- As we said above, it is advisable to choose a tariff with unlimited traffic;
- Study prices - compare offers from different cellular providers;
- There are packages that include Television;
- To connect to some tariffs, providers often require you to buy a modem from them, which is not suitable for all subscribers;
- Many providers offer super packages that include Home Internet, mobile communications, and television.
The most favorable tariff for a Wifi router is the one whose content you use to the maximum, and which suits you at a cost. To make it easier for you to choose, we have prepared a review of the best tariffs for a mobile router from major Russian providers. The offers are valid at the beginning of summer 2021 for Moscow and Moscow Region (conditions and prices may vary in the regions).
Please note that so that strangers cannot use your traffic (steal, to put it bluntly), figure out how to set a password on your Wi-Fi router. In this case, no one will connect to your modem without permission.

Tariffs for a router from Rostelecom (TELE2)
Rostelecom SIM cards work through the network of the TELE2 operator - several years ago, 2 large providers united to cooperate on terms beneficial to both parties. The companies have officially announced their joint activities and are actively working together. We did not find tariffs for a wireless modem on the Rostelecom website, but one is available on the TELE2 resource.
The package is called “Internet for Devices” - it is suitable for modems and tablets.

The Internet has firmly entered our lives and probably not a single modern person today can imagine life without it. And the old generation has long been accustomed to communicating on social networks and viewing news or videos on Youtube
. And here the role of “god” is taken on by the provider (the one who provides Internet access). Internet speed, quality and other aspects of the virtual world depend on it. This article is about providers in the Nizhny Novgorod region. There is no particular difference between regional operators, only the price of services.
There are different providers. I probably won’t be wrong if I say that the most common one is Rostelecom
"(previously called
Volgatelecom
).
I won't say that he is the best. Many people on the network complain about it because of the quality of the connection, etc., but for many it is the only one. Well, or at least it used to be. Today, Rostelecom
has developed quite well and even in the outbacks of Russia provides unlimited high-speed Internet access using fiber optic networks (
FTTB
).
It’s a pity that such technology is only available in apartment buildings, while private owners are left to use the still existing technology - ADSL
- using a telephone line for this.
from Megafon
Let's consider Internet tariffs for a 4G router from the cellular provider Megafon, in our opinion, the most generous for Unlimited:
- “ WiFi for yourself” for 750 rubles/month. There are no restrictions on traffic, data transfer speed is up to 7 Mbit/s;
- “ WiFi for the family” - for 1300 rubles/month. Unlimited network, speed up to 150 Mbit/sec.
- To connect to these tariff plans, you need to purchase a proprietary modem at a price of 5,790 rubles;
- If, as part of the “Wifi for Family” offer, you spend less than 25 GB per month, you will receive a 25% discount for the next 30 days, less than 100 GB - 10%;
- Link to tariff description: https://moscow.megafon.ru/internet/indoor/.
What options can be connected on the modem?
The most popular option is additional Internet, which is provided by almost all operators. If there are a couple of days left before the next subscription fee, and you have already exhausted all your traffic, we recommend that you connect to “Internet for a day”. Let's take Beeline as an example. This operator allows you to connect several gigabytes, depending on your choice, for a one-time fee, and the speed provided by the operator is often the maximum.
There are also those companies that can please their customers by removing speed restrictions. You won’t be able to remove the limitation permanently, but if you need to quickly download a small file, “Extend speed” is perfect.

Detailed overview of tariffs
Megaphone
Megafon has two basic tariffs: Your Unlimited, where you can choose a convenient payment plan:
| Rate | Price, rub/month |
| For 6 months | 5000 |
| For 12 months | 9000 |
These packages are suitable for modems, routers and tablets.
There is also an offer called Megafon Online, where the user is offered to pay as traffic is used. Here 1 MB is equal to 2.5 rubles.
MTS
MTS has the opportunity to connect to unlimited communications with the worldwide network 14 days after purchasing the modem. The fact is that the price of the device includes 60 GB for two weeks, and after that you can upgrade to a package with unlimited traffic and an Internet speed of 4 Mbit/sec. The cost of the service is 749 rubles.
Beeline
For the modem, Beeline offers a tariff called “For Computer”, but it cannot boast of unlimited access to the network. The package includes 30 GB/month and night unlimited for 900 rubles/month.
“Close People 3” is the main Beeline tariff with unlimited traffic. Its cost is 900 rubles/month. The package also includes 1300 minutes of calls per month.
The updated line of tariffs of the operator “Close People” allows you to distribute the Internet from your mobile to other devices, so the relevance of the modem itself is reduced.
Previously, Beeline offered the “EVERYTHING 3 for a computer” tariff so that you could use an LTE modem. It was possible to use it for 30 gigabytes at a cost of 900 rubles. monthly. At the same time, there is a Highway series. The terms and conditions can be viewed in the “Services” section directly on the official website. And of all the available offers, only when using two does LTE become accessible from a computer - these are Highways for 2 and 5 gigabytes. The price, respectively, is 100 and 200 rubles. every month.
Beeline also offers completely unlimited Internet 4G in roaming. Of all the tariff plans for a 4G modem, this is the only one without any restrictions and its cost is 350 rubles. per day. In this case, payment is debited only on the days of use.
Tele2
Tele2 provides one tariff with unlimited Internet - “Unlimited” at a price of 650 rubles/m. You can also activate the “20 GB” or “50 GB” option with unlimited Internet at night, the cost of the packages is 699 and 999 rubles/m.
Yota
Tariffs from Yota for a device such as a 4G modem with unlimited Internet may please many LTE users. At the same time, on the official website, the subscriber can independently set the cost based on the speed. The step is not very big, because if the subscriber lacks fifty rubles, he will still have the opportunity to connect a computer modem to the global network, but at a slightly low speed. There is a range of prices here. So, the speed is 10 Mbit/s. costs 1250 rub. per month, and the maximum (more than 15 Mbit/s) - 1,400 rubles. It’s profitable to rent for a year at maximum speed, because it turns out to be 9,000 rubles. in 12 months.
When choosing the optimal tariff, experts recommend focusing on the area where the modem connects to the Internet. In this case, you can switch over instantly. This flexibility gives Yota important advantages over other operators.
However, many users do not choose Iota because they believe that the operator is not available in all regions. In fact, it operates on the MegaFon network, which means that Yota’s unlimited service is available throughout the Russian Federation. It would seem that the Internet has been found without any restrictions and you can safely order a Yota SIM card. But experts do not recommend rushing too much, suggesting that you first think carefully before making this decision. You should also read the comments about the rates that are provided. After all, sometimes p2p protocols are blocked on the network, the network itself can work with constant overload, and the modem’s connection to the global network can be unstable.
The indicated prices are relevant for the Russian capital, as well as the Moscow region. To find out more information for other regions, users need to visit the official websites of mobile operators.
from Beeline
In conclusion, let’s consider which tariff is best to choose for a router among Beeline’s offers.
- “Bombic” - unlimited Internet is provided for 449 rubles/month, maximum transmission speed is up to 100 Mbit/sec. You can purchase a WiFi 4g router in installments for 30 months, for 150 rubles/month. The total amount for the device will be 4500 rubles.
- “ Fantastic ” - for 499 rubles/month. you will receive unlimited traffic, speed up to 100 Mbps, 79 TV channels, as well as a modem (installment plan is included in the price).

Which tariff is better?
It is impossible to confidently identify the best tariff from Megafon’s product line, since each user has his own preferences. That is why the operator can offer a variety of tariff plan options for use on modems.
Related material: How to check the remaining Internet traffic on Megafon?
The most economical ones are offered a choice of two tariff plans, which we talked about at the very beginning - although the amount of data that can be received or transmitted is very small, the cost of the tariffs is very reasonable.
If your traffic runs out, you can always extend the Internet for an additional fee.
As for those users who cannot see life without the World Wide Web, then for the large volumes offered by the L and XL packages, they will have to pay tidy sums.
The most popular is the Megafon Online tariff plan, since it is not tied to a certain amount or a certain volume of traffic - its principle is “pay for what you actually used.”

Conclusions from the review
So, we have finished looking at tariffs for unlimited Internet for WiFi 4G routers, and it’s time to draw conclusions:
- The most inexpensive tariff for a router is offered by Tele2 (Rostelecom) - 400 rubles/month. However, there is a daily traffic limit. There is no need to purchase a modem from the company;
- Beeline has a slightly more expensive package - 499 rubles/month, with included installments for the router and a small package of TV channels.
The Internet speed in both options will be no higher than 100 Mbit/sec, and judging by the reviews on the network, there are many complaints about the quality of communication. But we are pleased with the extensive coverage area and responsiveness of the technical service.
- The minimum tariff from Megafon is 750 rubles, but be prepared to buy a modem. By the way, you don’t have to save money on the Internet, although the speed will be up to 7 Mbit/sec;
- MTS, in our opinion, has developed the coolest package for modern realities. For 950 rub. you will pay for mobile communications, TV, and home Internet. You will have to buy a wifi router.
Thus, the main disadvantage of Beeline is the possible interruptions in communication (according to reviews from the network), and Tele2 is the daily limit on the network. Let's hope that after the merger of Rostelecom and Tele2, the quality of the latter's data transmission will improve. The disadvantage of Megafon is that the price of the modem is too high. MTS received the highest subscription fee, but it covers absolutely all communication costs.
Delve into the material, study the providers’ websites yourself, analyze your needs and draw conclusions. Remember, the most favorable tariff is the one that suits you in all respects. Good luck!
MTS
MTS offers its subscribers with modems a special tariff plan “For laptops”. It includes unlimited Internet for any resources and 150 channels on Mobile TV as a bonus with a monthly subscription fee of 850 rubles. Moreover, for the first three months you will have to pay a total of 590 rubles. It sounds quite attractive, if not for one “but”. Internet speed is limited to 10 Mbit/s. Of course, this is enough for browsing websites and surfing social networks, but “heavy” files will take a very long time to download.
The mobile operator offers several solutions to circumvent this limitation. These are either “Turbo buttons”, the activation of which will remove all speed restrictions for 3 or 6 hours for 99 or 160 rubles, respectively, or the option “For laptop 052020 at maximum speed”. The latter also eliminates all limits, but for a whole month and with a subscription fee of 350 rubles on top of the tariff.
