Yota cellular communication appeared not so long ago, but is already gaining momentum in popularity. It has some advantages compared to other operators. But there are also disadvantages, one of which is a weak signal, especially in rural areas where towers cellular communication located far away.
Why is the signal weak?
Let's look at several reasons why the signal is decreasing. A pigtail is a small piece of optical cable that is enclosed in a plastic sheath applied to the fibers and has a connector at the end, and the other end is free, connecting to the linear cable.
When it is connected to the process connector, which is installed on the modem board, it is not designed for heavy loads, as it is intended for testing. As a result, the signal speed decreases, or even stops completely.
Another reason is manually soldered pigtails, as the process is low in manufacturability. Soldering is equally quite problematic. Therefore, the signal quality also decreases. It directly depends on the condition of the microwave connectors, and not on the cable and its length.
Cables have standard chrome plated connectors N-type, which can withstand a frequency load of 450 MHz, while Yota’s frequency is 6 times higher, that is, they are not designed for such a value. They can be distinguished externally; they shine.
For Iota frequencies, it is advisable to use ultra-high-frequency beryllium-bronze detachable tips. You will get yourself a problem if you buy an antenna that has a soldered pigtail and a cable assembly with a chrome connector.
As the modem heats up after several hours of use, the signal strength decreases. The following picture is observed: in the morning the Internet works well, in the afternoon it slows down and does not open, or DownLoad works well, but the return channel - UpLoad - gets lost.
Your task when maintaining a normal signal is not to purchase cheap Chinese-made adapters and ties to shorten the microwave cable in length if possible. Apply USB cable or Iota router.
When choosing an antenna, you need to look at the tightness, connectors and fullness of the antenna itself; if it is hollow, it will not last long. Quality implies demand and higher prices.
Is it possible to save money? It’s possible, for this we have Kulibins. And any homemade antenna, made correctly, will be tens of times cheaper than a production one, not inferior, but superior in quality.
Checking the signal level
Before purchasing a Yota cellular modem, you can check your reception point for power. The signal level can be affected by:
- terrain changes;
- location of the modem or router;
- length of the path to the translator tower;
- obstacle in the form of furniture, walls;
- number of connected devices.
You can go to the company’s official website, where there is a map and the level of network coverage is shown. The shaded areas of the territory show good signal reception, which means that the Internet will be received flawlessly.
If the user lives in an area that is colored light on the map, it means that the quality of the Internet will be poor (interruptions, loss of signal). For a more detailed network check, it is better to invite a specialist.
He can professionally test the signal and its level. Tell us what speed and quality of the Internet are available, and also test the antenna as an amplifier.
Indicate the place on your site (at the dacha) where to put the modem. If the signal turns out to be weak in all positions and availability, then you should take care of purchasing an antenna or making one yourself.
What types of homemade antennas exist?
It is best to use external antennas, which are mounted on the outside of the building, on the facade or on the roof. They strengthen the signal and even contribute to its appearance in places where it was not there before.
If the signal strength necessary for normal operation of the Internet cannot be calculated, then it is better to use a device with a range of up to 25 dB. Such amplifiers will allow you to receive a signal at a considerable distance from the translator.
Specialists in the sale and maintenance of antennas and amplifiers for the modem warn against using homemade signal amplification devices. But statistics show the opposite phenomenon.
Homemade devices are often more profitable and reliable than expensive factory antennas. Well suited for installing a homemade device satellite dish. A USB modem is installed on the dish, adjusted to the focus of the dish and placed on the receiving tower.
Remade satellite antenna to strengthen the signal.
Local craftsmen use a variety of devices for homemade antennas. You can use any metal or aluminum lid from a large saucepan, a large aluminum colander, various metal cans etc. The following homemade antennas are the most popular:
- can;
- pseudosatellite;
- omnidirectional
First you need to find a suitable point for the modem or router. To do this, with the modem connected, run the Internet speed test program.
Experiment at different points, you need to choose the most stable and powerful signal. He could be outside the window. This means that it is necessary to provide protection from external climatic conditions.
Can design
Any can of beer, canned pineapple, after paint, or baby food will do. Better is a tall and wide jar with a diameter of at least 7.5 and a height of 10 cm, and no more than 13.5 cm. Although they are also made from small ones. When purchasing a wire, it is better to take a copper wire 2 mm thick, a mount and an N-socket. 
We cut a piece of wire 3.1 cm long and attach it by soldering to the center of the N-socket contact so that it lies more evenly. We drill a hole in the side wall of the jar at a distance from the bottom, which is calculated accurately (calculations can be taken on the Internet).
We put a plastic lid on the jar on top, first place it in the microwave with a full glass of water and bring to a boil. If the lid melts, it's no good.
We are looking for another cover, it protects from the weather. We experimentally put this entire structure in place of the largest signal.
Result.
Pseudosatellite
This design is made in rural areas, villages from household materials:
2 holes are drilled in the wall, lined with foil material, secured using a USB cord socket so that the modem is located in the center of the workpiece. Attached to the selected location.
Omnidirectional antenna
This design is made using a 50 ohm cable with a BNC connector, a soldering iron, a glue gun, a knife, an awl and a ruler. Its manufacture requires certain skill and knowledge.
We strip the insulation to approximately 4 cm in length, divide the fibers into four parts, and twist 4 bundles with our hands. We bend these bundles at an angle of 45° and tin them. For fixation, use a glue gun to secure the four bends at their base. We reduce the bare cable to 3 cm, and bends are made of the same length.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in making an amplifier, and the benefits and savings are obvious. The above designs are perfect for a summer house in the garden, a house in the village, a cottage in places remote from the metropolis.
It is better to use the Internet at sufficient speed to open resources and view pages. But it is not always possible to achieve the desired result in the presence of external negative qualities. A signal amplifier for a Yota 4g modem can be done on your own if you know some of the subtleties and nuances of the work.
Impact on speed
The wireless connection may be affected by external factors. This leads to a reduction in data transfer speed, down to negligible. Let's make a list of minimal external manifestations that necessitate the need to install a signal amplifier for the Yota 4g modem:
- Internal factors regarding the premises. These include large quantities of furniture, the location of the modem in another room (walls), etc.
- Network load caused by the number of connected users.
- Weather conditions, as well as the topography of the territory of the settlement where the connection was made.
- Distance to base station.
But the list cannot be called exhaustive for the reason that everything should be treated individually. All of them have a negative impact on the quality of the wireless connection, which leads to negative reviews from users. Even if there are interruptions in Internet access, there is no need to worry and call technical support representatives. You can make your own amplifier that will help set everything up. Under certain circumstances, little depends on the user, such as network congestion. There is no way to improve the 4g signal.
Possibility of correction
The most common option for improving the quality of communication and Internet connection is to purchase a special antenna. This is all done regardless of the presence of a built-in antenna in the modem. Under certain circumstances, reflected above, its power will not be enough to fully provide the user with access to the wireless network. This amplifier The signal for the Yota 4g modem can be called universal. You can achieve this in the following way:
- Purchasing an antenna model or modem with a more powerful signal. That is, the old device is replaced with a new one, which provides the client with the opportunity to actively surf Internet resources.
- Making your own antenna at home.
The most interesting question will be regarding your own production of a device that can improve the quality of Internet connections in an apartment or other premises. In addition, this option is considered the most profitable and optimal.
Self-amplification of the signal
The initial steps for making a device with your own hands are aimed at establishing the most advantageous position of the modem used to access the Internet. Here everything is achieved experimentally.
After turning on the modem and placing it in a certain place, a program is launched that allows you to determine the dynamic speed of the Internet. In this design, one moves around the apartment to find the most advantageous space. This may be a separate room with no furniture or other obstacles. In certain situations, the device must be installed outside the room - balcony, outside the window, etc. This is where the quality of the wireless network reaches its maximum limit. The last manipulations are carried out only when the desired result cannot be achieved inside the apartment.
If the modem is installed outside a window, additional protection is created for it. After all, work can be negatively affected by weather conditions, strong winds and all that. In addition, there is a situation where the modem quickly fails.
According to experts, nothing better is achieved from such actions. Only the device itself fails and malfunctions over a short period of time. IN practical application The modem begins to function better and provide excellent quality.
Antenna amplifier
You can make the antenna yourself. The base is a metal object. This is a metal or aluminum lid from a frying pan or pan where the modem is placed. The structure is fastened at the location where the maximum signal level is determined.
The signal amplifier for the Yota 4g modem can be represented by a satellite dish. A data transmission device protected from external influences. It would be a good idea to point the modem in the direction where the nearest base station is located. It’s good to know about this maximum information.
To learn how to make an antenna yourself, watch the video below.
While using the Yota modem to access the Internet, paying attention to external interference, you can come up with certain tips to get the maximum speed of the wireless network:
- The device may be affected by third-party equipment, which you should get rid of.
- All devices not used in the modem are disconnected currently.
- Parallel connection identical router models.
- The room contains a minimum amount of furniture and obstacles.
- Entering a password to access the wireless network. Then third parties will not be able to “get in” and could degrade the quality of communication.
All these points will allow users, if the signal level is disrupted in the direction of its reduction, to achieve better results for surfing the Internet on their own.
The usual cable Internet. There is no need to waste time and money on connecting, laying cables, or masking them. You just need to connect a compact USB modem to the port of your PC or laptop, and you can “surf” the Internet at a fairly decent 4G speed. Plus, the small modem is easy to take with you. In this case, the Internet will be everywhere, wherever you are. These are the pleasant conditions offered by the young operator “Iota”. But a problem arises: the modem does not pick up the signal well everywhere. Therefore, it is important to think about the Yota signal amplifier. We will tell you about it further.
Factors affecting Internet speed
More recently wireless technologies noticeably inferior in stability and speed of data transmission to the usual cable Internet. But with LTE speeds, the situation has changed. However, the technology still does not get rid of all its shortcomings.
"Iota" offers its customers modems that work with SIM cards that provide high-speed Internet access. The devices have a noticeable disadvantage: sometimes they do not pick up the signal well. Therefore, many of their owners are interested in signal amplifiers for the Yota modem.
- Obstacles inside the apartment. Walls, piles of furniture, interior items between the modem and the cell tower.
- Long distance from modem to cell tower.
- The number of devices working from the modem.
- Weather conditions, terrain.
As you can see, not all factors can be corrected by the modem owner on his own. In stormy weather and high network congestion, you will not be able to influence the quality of your modem’s operation or improve the signal.
How to solve a problem?
The way out is an amplifier cellular signal Yota. Yes, the modem itself already has a standard antenna built into it to search for connections, but its power is not always enough to ensure a high-quality connection and comfortable Internet surfing.
So what about the signal booster? The user has two ways to solve the problem:
- Purchasing a ready-made device that enhances the quality characteristics of the modem. It could be an additional antenna. Or another modem with enhanced characteristics.
- Achieve the desired effect yourself.
Strengthening the signal - finding an advantageous position
Let's present the simplest solution. As practice shows, the modem can “catch” the signal differently even within the same apartment. This is affected by clutter of furniture, interior items, room walls and other obstacles that arise between the modem and the operator tower.
This should be done experimentally. Go online using a modem at your usual workplace. Measure using special service connection speed.
Next, move around the apartment, periodically using the same service. In some cases, the user manages to find a place in the apartment where the signal is received much better by the device. The inconvenience here will be moving the computer desktop, rearranging it. You can only move the modem by additionally purchasing a USB extension cable of the required length. If you have a laptop, then everything is much simpler.
"Extreme" exit
Users also offer an “extreme” solution to the problem. Install the modem (connecting it to the PC with the same extension cable) outside the living space (outside the window, on the balcony, on the roof, etc.). The signal quality can improve noticeably. But in this case, you need to think about protecting the device from weather conditions: snow, rain, high/low temperatures, etc.).
Homemade amplifier
Now we’ll tell you how to build a Yota signal amplifier with your own hands. To make a device, the first step is to find a suitable metal object. An excellent option is a round lid from a frying pan or from a saucepan.
Such an antenna is installed in the place in the living space where, using the previous method, you found the most high speed data transmission. Secure the modem to the cover. Then all that remains is to connect an extension cable to it to connect to a computer or laptop.
There is another “recipe” for making an amplifier with your own hands. In this case, a satellite dish will come in handy. Connect it to the modem. It is important to point the antenna in the direction where the telecom operator’s tower is located. Since the device will be located outside the home, you need to take care to protect the modem from precipitation, temperature changes, etc.
To ensure consistently high data transfer speeds using your Iota modem, in some cases it is enough to follow simple recommendations:
- Remove from the work area all objects and equipment that may interfere with the normal operation of the device.
- Place the modem on a free space on your desktop. Free up space from bulky interior items. Move radio equipment and electronics away. Such devices can also affect signal quality.
- If your modem additionally distributes Wi-Fi, then disconnect unnecessary devices from it. The more devices connected to it, the lower the data transfer speed for each of them.
- To home wireless network It’s worth setting a password that only you know. In some cases, low Internet speed is a consequence of strangers connecting to your Wi-Fi point. Setting a strong password will protect you from such users.
- The simultaneous connection of two identical modems to a computer allows you to significantly strengthen the signal. However, their work needs to be configured in a certain way: instructions can be found on the operator’s website or by contacting the specialists of the communication salon.
Ready solution
The Yota signal amplifier is already represented in the company’s range of products. Its cost in the official online store: 9500 rubles.
We'll tell you in more detail what kind of device this is. This is a ready-made compact solution with an amplifying antenna. It already has a built-in USB modem that accelerates to 4G speed, with an Iota SIM card. At the request of the buyer, a previously purchased Yota SIM card can be inserted into the device. This solution (a modem in a signal-amplifying device) completely eliminates signal loss in cable assemblies, which were typical for the company’s early products.
Amplifier capabilities from "Iota"
Let's present the important characteristics of the Yota signal amplifier:
- The device can operate year-round. Its operating temperature range: from -35 °C to +60 °C.
- The amplifier kit includes a room Wi-Fi router. It is connected to the Iota outdoor antenna using a special shielded USB cable (its length is 7 meters). Let's talk a little about him. This cable eliminates signal loss over high frequencies. As a result, the modem begins to transfer all its power to the antenna.
- An indoor Wi-Fi router is capable of distributing a signal indoors at a distance of up to 150-200 meters. Its coverage area can be expanded using special Wi-Fi signal amplifiers.
- The Yota signal amplifier can be supplemented with a universal modem from Huawei. What are its advantages? In this case, the buyer of the device can use a SIM card from any telecom operator, not just Yota. The main thing is that it supports LTE data transfer speeds. Please note that adding such an option will cost an additional 1000 rubles.
- The antenna included in the Yota 4G modem signal amplifier kit operates according to the latest standards. Why is this good? In practice, this is a doubling of the data transfer rate compared to standard wavelength antennas. There, amplification occurs only on a signal that is polarized in the vertical plane.
- MiMo"has a gain of no lower than 18 dBi in vertical polarization, and no lower than 18 dBi in horizontal polarization.
- And one more feature for the buyer. At his request, the Yota 4G signal amplifier can be supplemented with a stronger antenna. For example, having a power of up to 20 dBi. Or panel up to 24 dBi complete with a long (up to one hundred meters) cable.
Using a panel antenna in an amplifier
Why is it necessary to install a panel antenna for a Yota LTE signal amplifier? This additional device helps you use the services mobile operator even if your locality is 15-20 km away from its tower. If the area is open, then the gap may be longer.
To ensure this opportunity, the included outdoor antenna must be installed on your home as far from the ground as possible. Preferably above the roofs of houses, treetops and other objects that may be located between this device and the cell tower.
Let us note once again that the service for replacing the antenna in the Yota Internet signal amplifier is paid. Its specific cost depends on the type of antenna chosen by the buyer.
Now you know a few effective ways, which will help you improve the quality of your Iota modem and increase the data transfer speed. The simplest solution is to purchase a ready-made amplifier provided by the company itself. There are ways and independent decision problems: from finding the most advantageous position in the apartment to the use of metal covers and satellite dishes.
Many users face a problem when the Internet connection is poor. This can be influenced by many different factors: terrain, low data transfer speeds, load on the provider’s network, the number of connected devices and a weak signal. mobile internet. How can we deal with this problem? In this article we will try to figure out whether it is possible to strengthen a weak Yota signal, and what needs to be done for this.
Signal boost 4G LTE- the task is not difficult, and you can cope with this by installing an additional antenna that will work as an amplifier. After all, the power of the ETA antenna built into the router or modem may not be enough due to various conditions that adversely affect the quality of communication.
To improve the quality of the Internet on Yota you can:
- Buy an Eta amplifier.
- Make an antenna to boost the signal with your own hands.
- Get acquainted with ours and purchase a new, more powerful device.
The first option does not cause any difficulties, except for material costs, so we will dwell in more detail on the second method.
Strengthening the signal quality using an antenna for Yota
A homemade external signal will help improve a weak signal. LTE antenna for a modem or router, which is easy to build at home. To do this you will need some available materials and a little time.
One of the options for a homemade antenna for the Yota modem is the Kharchenko antenna, which is a copper wire bent in the shape of “infinity” and placed inside a metal reflector. When making such a device, all dimensions must be accurately maintained, which can be found on various thematic sites on the Internet, for example, 4gltee.ru. 
The disadvantage of such a device is that it must be connected using a cable to the connector in the router. But the required connector may not be there, which will entail disassembling the case and soldering the cable directly to the electronic board.
The advantage of the Kharchenko antenna and similar devices is that such devices can be raised to great heights, which significantly improves reception.
A good signal amplifier can be assembled from an aluminum pan or basin. For these purposes, they also use a cardboard box carefully covered with foil. Now all that remains is to place the modem inside the homemade device and try to point the resulting antenna at a base station that is in direct line of sight.
