The coverage area of the Yota provider is much smaller than that of the mobile operators. A subscriber living on the border of the zone of reliable reception has to take measures to increase the signal level at the input of the modem.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not try to connect any amplifiers to the modem. The power output of any wireless equipment, including the 4G (WiMax) standard, is limited by law. In addition, the amplifier can generate out-of-band emissions at harmonics, which is also a violation.
Step 2
Radio waves at the frequencies used for data transmission in the Yota network are blocked by objects capable of conducting current. In a house with reinforced concrete walls, it makes sense to bring the laptop along with the modem to the window. Even if it does not go out towards the base station, the signal strength may increase. You can simply walk around the room with a laptop - due to the presence of interference maxima and minima, points with a high signal level can be located anywhere.
Step 3
It is not always convenient to move a laptop to find places of reliable reception, and if the computer is stationary, even more so. The problem will be solved by an extension cable that allows you to carry the modem from the USB port to a distance of 2.5 meters. It must comply with the USB 2.0 specification, otherwise the transfer speed will decrease. Move the modem slowly because there is a delay in updating the reception quality information.
Step 4
Parabolic mirrors, similar to those used in satellite dishes, can be used to focus microwave radio waves. The best results are provided by reflectors from just such receivers. Place the modem in focus of the mirror instead of the converter. You can also use surrogate reflectors in the form of ordinary metal cans, including painted ones. Do not place the modem outside the room, as it is not sealed. You will have to place the entire structure right in the room. The antenna must be directed towards the nearest base station in the Yota network. If you do not know where it is, find the best direction empirically.
