It should be borne in mind that in the case of an outdoor installation of the LTE antenna, you will receive the maximum signal gain from the base stations. If a regular USB LTE 4G modem is capable of working with an LTE base station at distances of no more than 1-3 km, then a USB modem built into the Yota outdoor antenna will provide a reliable signal at distances of up to 10-15 km. Thus, you can buy an outdoor Yota antenna even in an area not yet covered by LTE radio signals and "reach" the nearest base station.

Also note that street amplifiers LTE antenna has a positive effect and in conditions of good coverage with base stations. The explanation for this is very simple. In the case of using a regular miniature USB modem or a standard WiFi / LTE router, you only have a connection with the nearest LTE base station, and if it is overloaded during peak hours, your equipment loses speed and you already have a low Internet speed, and you pay, for example, 20 Mbps
An outdoor amplifying LTE antenna in such a situation allows your equipment to keep in touch not only with the nearest LTE base station, but also with LTE bases (towers) located at considerable distances from your location.

Thus, the equipment is able to stabilize the LTE signal both in conditions with poor coverage and in conditions of good stable reception. When using an external LTE amplifying antenna, you guarantee yourself a larger bandwidth due to the simultaneous operation of your equipment with two or three LTE base stations at once

The fundamental difference between the LTE 4G standard and the old 3G lies in the ability of LTE subscriber equipment to work with three base stations (towers) at once, and an external amplifying LTE antenna significantly helps the subscriber in this task!

The network of base stations expanding the coverage of mobile operators is growing. The signal quality improves and the connection speed increases. But not in all places it is possible to enjoy super-speed 4g LTE internet, even by purchasing a Yota 4g modem.

Poor Signal Reasons:

• congestion of the network by users;
• considerable remoteness from the base station (typical for small towns and villages);
• the place where the modem is located: height, material and wall thickness;
• located nearby interference in the form of multi-storey buildings, forests, electromagnetic fields from high-voltage power lines.

You can solve the problem of 4g signal amplification by installing an antenna for the Yota modem.

Types of antennas and the benefits of using them

The Yota operator specializes in providing the Internet using high-speed 4g networks. The company sells, in addition to the Yota 4g modem, various modifications of the router, antennas.

Types of industrial antennas:

1. Panel 4g directional antenna. Has the function of automatically switching to 3G signal if there is no 4g network. There are modifications to work in two frequency ranges;
2. Parabolic. 4g antenna with maximum gain. Good for when the base station is at great distances. It can be used where there is no signal at all. The disadvantage is the high cost;
3. Circular omnidirectional. It is mobile, has a magnetic base and can be installed in different places, including in a car. It does not differ in high amplification power and is used in areas with unstable signal reception;
4. Internet signal amplifiers - indoor antennas. They are connected to the modem using a USB cable.

Important! There are antennas for Yota with built-in modems and routers. If you need to amplify the signal on an existing device, you need to buy antennas without a 4g modem.

If you don't have a modem yet, then buying a combined device will be cheaper than purchasing the elements separately.

Antenna Yota provides an increase in Internet speed up to 10 times. Installation of equipment and its configuration will be within the power of any user who does not have special knowledge.

Homemade amplifiers

If the subscriber is technically prepared, then he can make an antenna for Yota with his own hands. At the first stage, the location of the nearest transmitting center is determined, it is ascertained whether there is a lot of interference in the line of sight. Sometimes connection is not possible even with the most efficient amplifiers. In large cities, a tower located hundreds of meters from the place of residence can provide the same 4g signal quality as in rural areas at a distance of 10-12 km. This is due to the different network congestion.

You need to contact the Yota service department for the necessary information about the nearest tower. They can also give advice on how to correctly position the external amplifier. Other options for finding data are a forum on the provider's website, third-party Internet resources.

Antenna for Yota using an aluminum can

The canned amplifier design for Yota is simple, but will not provide an increase in the speed and stability of the Internet in conditions of too weak a signal. However, such an external antenna can add the lacking stability in the LTE connection. Used exclusively indoors.

In the side surface of an empty can of beer or other drinks, a hole is drilled in the form of an Iota modem. The distance to the center of the hole being made from the bottom surface of the can is calculated using a special calculator for such self-made designs. It can be found on the internet. It is necessary for the transmitting center to route the signal to the amplifier with the least interference. By changing the depth of the modem and carefully turning the jar towards the tower, you can tune the manufactured antenna to receive a signal. The Yota website controls the speed of the Internet connection and ping. A modem with an antenna is connected to a computer via a USB extension cable.

The design resembles a canned antenna, but with a larger reflector area. The reflector can be a cardboard box with a foil-pasted surface, a stainless steel pot, an aluminum bowl, a metal grill, etc. The Yota modem is fixed inside the container using screws installed in the holes drilled on the side, or using other devices.

The pseudo-satellite can be fixed outside the building, while protecting the modem with a plastic wrap or plastic tube. If you correctly orient the homemade design, the 4g signal will increase significantly.

Important! Based on the practice of making a pseudo-satellite, the modem should be placed perpendicular to the ground, parallel to the reflector surface.

Experienced users note the reliability and simplicity of Kharchenko's antenna - a thick copper wire bent in the shape of a "figure eight". All dimensions indicated on the Internet for this design must be strictly observed. The wire is fixed over a reflector, which can be an aluminum plate. Isolation of the wire from the reflector is provided. The antenna tunes to the frequency of its operator.

Installation of the structure is carried out on the street. You need to know where the transmitting centers are in order to direct it to one of them, if possible, avoiding interference. It is possible to obtain powerful signal amplification by positioning the amplifier at a sufficient height.

Important! The antenna cable must be connected to the modem through a connector that may not be present. Then the modem is disassembled, and soldering is performed directly on the printed circuit board.

Using a satellite dish

A TV satellite dish is a good solution to get a stable internet connection in problem areas. The ETA modem is placed in a small plastic container (a tube or yoghurt bottle) and fixed in the focus of the plate, where the TV signal converter is usually located. The connection to the computer is provided by a USB cable. The process of tuning the antenna is more complicated.

Points to consider when setting up a parabolic antenna for receiving the Internet:

1. Unlike tuning to a TV satellite, the dish for the LTE signal is directed lower. This is due to the curvature of the reflection;
2. For fine tuning, during a slow rotation of the antenna, changes in the quality of the Internet connection are monitored using the Yota computer program. At the point of the best signal reception, the directional dish must be fixed;
3. After fixing the external antenna, you can try to change the focus position and see how the 4g signal changes. The Yota modem should be installed so that the USB port is on the opposite end from the plate;
4. If the 4g signal remains unstable, you need to raise the structure higher. Amplification of the signal will give a larger diameter of the dish. A satellite dish of a meter diameter can guarantee a high-quality connection at a distance of 8-10 km from the tower;
5. Simultaneous use of a satellite dish to receive a television signal and improve the quality of the Internet connection is impossible.

A directional antenna with a parabolic mesh reflector will give the best gain. But it is difficult to find such a structural element for making an antenna; they are not produced by the industry due to outdated standards. Although there are ready-made structures of this type on sale.

Strengthening the LTE signal is feasible using both industrial antennas and do-it-yourself antennas. A homemade antenna requires the presence of certain knowledge and skills. If the user does not possess them, the modem may be damaged. In this case, it is better to purchase factory copies in accordance with existing conditions.

There are situations when the internet speed does not meet the needs of the customers. In this case, you should think about how to strengthen the Yota signal. But before you think about whether you need a Yota signal amplifier in this or that case First, you should pay attention to the following factors:

• the presence of obstacles in the room;
• remoteness of the station;
• weather;
• network stability;
• speed drops;
• the number of devices used.

If none of the above appears, then nothing needs to be strengthened. Otherwise, you need to decide how to amplify the signal. Basically, an amplifier is required for the lu150 4G modem.

In the event that the Yota signal level is low, you need to use an external antenna, which will help increase the modem's signal and make it more stable. To increase the Yota signal level, the use of antennas is considered an effective way. But there are situations when it is enough to place the connected Iota modem on the street.

You can buy an amplifier in a communication salon. Branded equipment for these purposes costs a lot of money and subscribers do not always have such an amount available. If it is not possible to purchase an amplifier, you can do it yourself. Moreover, this can be done from improvised means. Amplifying the Yota signal made with your own hands is much more effective than purchased in the store.

Amplifying the signal with your own hands

Antenna for Yota with your own hands can be made from the following items:

• pots;
• aluminum basin;
• foil;
• beer cans.

Before proceeding directly to creating an amplifier, you need to prepare the following tools:

• Screwdriver Set;
• soldering iron;
• glue gun.

In order for the external antenna for the Yota modem to justify the hopes for its construction, it is necessary to have a high-frequency antenna cable, copper wire, and a plastic pipe. Another important point worth knowing is the broadcast frequency and the diagram of how to connect the antenna to the Yota modem. There is a lot of information on how to connect an antenna directly to a device on the Internet.

The most effective is a self-made antenna for LTE Yota from Kharchenko. It is a figure eight made of copper wire that needs to be connected to the reflector. When making a figure eight, you need to clearly maintain its size. The only disadvantage is that in this case it will be necessary to connect the cable to the connector located on the case. If there is no such connector, you will need to solder the cable to the internal board. As for the advantages, your signal amplifier for the Yota modem can be placed at a high altitude, which will help to enhance signal reception even more.

The Yota antenna can also be made from an old waste pot with a capacity of about three liters. In addition, an aluminum bowl or cardboard box may be suitable, which must first be pasted over with foil. The modem is located in the center. If necessary, you can change the orientation of the Yota 4G modem inside the reflector to the required values. It is not necessary to solder in this case. The device is attached with a glue gun or materials at hand.

Another option for designing an amplifier is to use an aluminum can. She needs to cut off the top, and make a side cut, stepping back 40 cm from the bottom. Place the modem in it and connect the external antenna to the computer. To check the indicators, you need to go to the page located at 10.0.0.1., And perform testing.

Now you know how to amplify the signal of a 4g modem and can easily and quickly independently use one of the methods described above to get the maximum speed of the Internet connection from Yota.

Operator Yota provides its subscribers with wireless Internet only. Most of the difficulties for users are associated with this. If wired technology allows you to achieve constant high speed and stability (only accidents at stations can be attributed to the exceptions), then many factors affect the wireless network.

Let's see if an antenna is needed for Yota, and how it can affect the speed and stability of the connection.

External antenna amplifier for the Yota LTE modem: is it necessary or not?

To understand the question posed, you need to assess the characteristics of the Internet at different points in time. In the event that the network is stable, the speed does not drop, then amplification by additional devices is not required. But in what cases, then, is it worth getting an amplifier?

Consider buying an amplifier or DIY in the following situations:

• constant loss of signal at different points in the house;
• speed drops;
• using a large number of devices connected to the Internet through one router / modem.

Users have a choice: buy branded equipment, or try to amplify the signal with their own hands. Let's talk about each method in more detail.

Amplifier options

If your task is to provide a large number of devices with the Internet, then the Yota b315 internet center with an external antenna is suitable for you. The device itself allows via a Wi-Fi network, and a connected external amplifier will increase the stability and signal reception.

On the official website, you can purchase yota b315 for 6900 rubles (cost in Moscow and the region). If you do not need an Internet center, then you can do more with an external antenna connector - LU150 LiTE. You can connect an external antenna to the Yota modem only if you have a special port or USB connector.

Before buying, carefully study the characteristics of one and the second device - the presence of ports must match. The device is connected to the modem through a pigtail - adapter from a standard antenna socket to a specific connector.
If it is not sufficiently developed, and the modem is constantly switching to 3G, then when choosing an antenna, this point must also be taken into account. The device must support both technologies. Otherwise, you will have to buy two antennas.

Amplifying the signal with your own hands

External antennas for the Yota modem, 4g lte signal amplifiers cost a lot of money. Most users cannot afford to buy expensive devices. However, you should not despair in such a situation - you can try to make an antenna for Yota with your own hands.

You can make an amplifier from available tools. The most common example is a saucepan, aluminum bowl, foil. The modem is placed inside a saucepan or cardboard box covered with foil. Further, the structure is attached in the place where the signal reception is higher. If you are going to mount a homemade structure on the street, then take care of protecting the modem from external influences (rain, frost, and so on).

An ordinary satellite dish is also suitable for signal amplification. You must attach the router to the converter, then direct the structure towards good signal reception. If you didn't have either one or the other, then use copper wire and foil textolite to create a Kharchenko antenna. You can freely download more detailed instructions and a diagram for it from the Internet. With the help of our tips, you can avoid spending a lot on amplifiers.

Today, the coverage area of ​​the third and fourth generation networks of the mobile operator Iota occupies an impressive area. At the same time, the company's management is constantly working on increasing the number of base stations in order to expand the territorial coverage of services and improve the quality of communication in places of presence. As a result of the implemented measures, the signal improves and the speed of the wireless Internet increases. Nevertheless, it is still not possible to catch it everywhere, and in some small settlements and even districts of large cities there is a signal, but very weak. Even the fact that the purchased Yota 4G modem already has a built-in amplifier is not always able to save the situation. It is in such cases that an external antenna for the Iota is needed. Thanks to this device, a low signal is amplified, which is caught from the nearest base, which, in the end, has a positive effect on the connection speed.

Such antennas are irreplaceable for residents of remote areas of settlements, you can install them in a country cottage. Such a device is especially useful when there is no possibility of using wired Internet and the quality of the wireless one is unsatisfactory.

The role of external antennas for Iota can be performed by both factory devices and those made by oneself. The advantage of the former is their accuracy and high efficiency, but the latter allows you to save money and at the same time get a relatively good 4G connection.

The reasons for the weak signal and low speed are:

• congestion of the network;
• great remoteness of the settlement from the base station;
• location of the modem;
• the dimensions of the room and the material used to make the walls, their height and thickness;
• the presence of interference in the signal path, such as multi-storey buildings, high-voltage towers, forests;
• connection to one router or modem of several devices.

In this case, the following problems are observed:

• signal is often lost;
• speed is constantly jumping.

If all this is familiar, then it makes sense to think about buying equipment to amplify the received signal or making it yourself. A familiar antenna is such a device.

In some forums, there is an opinion that if the signal quality in the LTE standard is unsatisfactory (namely, this Internet format is supported by Iota), it is recommended to consider the option of switching to a WiMAX channel. This position is illogical. Both standards are from the fourth generation. However, LTE was invented several years later, due to which a number of disadvantages inherent in its predecessor were taken into account and corrected. Improvements have affected such characteristics as multiple access, frequency resource scheduling, power parameters, adaptability, latency, and so on.

Types of antennas and the benefits of using them

The Yota operator guarantees its users a high-speed 4G Internet. It is the provision of this service that is the general mission of the company. As a technical support, the company offers its subscribers 4G-modems, routers and antennas for Yota.

Each type of antenna has specific properties and has a number of advantages in the process of use. Below is a general classification of industrial, i.e. streamed, antennas.

1. Panel MIMO (that is, containing two amplifiers in one housing) 3G / 4G directional antenna. The most popular in this category are the various models of the Delta Station 3G / 4G Bipolarized Broadband Antenna. Equipped with the function of automatically switching to 3G signal in a situation where there is no 4G. Some modifications are designed to work in two frequency ranges.
2. Parabolic. These models provide maximum gain and are ideal for use at significant distances from the base, as well as in places where there is no signal at all. The only drawback of parabolic antennas is their high price.
3. Circular omnidirectional. The main advantage of such products is their mobility. They are simple in terms of installation, have a magnetic base, they can be installed wherever it is convenient, even in a car. The device gives a small amplification power, therefore they are used mainly in order to achieve the stability of the Internet signal.
4. Indoor antenna. Amplifies the signal when connected to a receiving device via a USB cable.
5. Antennas with built-in modem or Yota router. These models can be purchased if this unit has not yet been purchased separately. To amplify the signal of an existing modem or router, they are not suitable.

If the equipment for providing Internet access has not yet been purchased, but only possible options are being considered, then purchasing a universal device is an ideal solution.

Antennas HiTE PRO for Yota

These 4G antennas have a built-in modem and support signal reception from all cellular operators. The correct SIM card must be inserted into the device to work. The HiTE PRO antenna for Yota replaces the RF pulse amplification kit.

Such systems are considered to be the most effective, since the modem is already built into the antenna, and there is no signal loss on adapters and cables. Such an antenna for Yota is able to increase the speed of traffic exchange on the Internet tenfold, while you can install and configure it yourself, without contacting a specialist. If a separate modem is already available, the need for it disappears.

Using a satellite dish

To strengthen and stabilize your internet signal, you can use a TV satellite dish. It is desirable to place it in a plastic container and attach it to the converter. The device is connected to the computer via a USB cable. This solution is especially effective for use in the region, in villages, in the suburbs and other settlements, remote from the towers.

The maximum gain is given by a parabolic antenna with a mesh reflector, however, it is quite difficult to find such on the market, since they have ceased to be produced due to outdated standards.

The amplification efficiency can be different depending on the dimensions of the cymbal. For a high-quality connection at a distance of up to ten kilometers from the tower, a plate with a diameter of one meter is enough.

How to connect an external antenna to the Yota modem

An external antenna for amplifying 4G Internet from Yota is easy to install and configure. It is important to adhere to the following rules:

• direct the antenna lower than when tuning to a television satellite;
• track the quality of the connection using the Yota computer program;
• it is necessary to fix the antenna in the direction of the point of the best signal reception;
• install the modem so that the USB port is on the opposite end from the antenna;
• in case of constant interruption of the signal, the structure should be raised higher.

It is impossible to simultaneously use the antenna for receiving a TV signal and amplifying the Internet.

Do-it-yourself Yota signal amplification

External antennas for the modem aimed at amplifying the LTE signal from Yota have a rather high cost, and not everyone can afford to purchase such a device. Therefore, the antenna for Yota can be made by hand.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the location of the nearest base station, as well as the presence or absence of objects in the path that can become an obstacle to the signal passage. Line-of-sight interference can make the installation of an amplifier a waste of time and money. Intensive loading within the boundaries of a settlement reduces the efficiency of the installed antenna several times. Thus, signal amplification at a distance of several hundred meters in a densely populated area of ​​a large city can be comparable to the effect observed at a distance of ten kilometers from a tower for a small village.

If you have any problems with finding out the location of the nearest tower, you can contact the service provider of the provider. The consultants will guide you on the coordinates of the base station, as well as advise on how to properly install the external antenna. The same information is available on the official forum of the provider and numerous third-party specialized resources.

Required material and tool

To design a signal amplifier for LTE Internet, you will need the following set of tools:

• soldering iron;
• Screwdriver Set;
• glue gun;
• pliers;
• round nose pliers.

As for the necessary materials, the amplifier is made from improvised means. You will need:

• pan;
• aluminum can;
• antenna cable;
• cardboard, foil;
• copper wire;
• plastic tube;
• package.

If this is a portable structure and will be mounted on the street, then it is necessary to take care of its protection from adverse weather influences.

Antenna for Eta using aluminum cans

An amplifier for Eta can be made very simply from an aluminum can. True, it will be completely useless in conditions of an overly weak signal, but to stabilize the stability of the connection, it is an excellent option.

Such a homemade indoor antenna for Yota is not suitable for outdoor installation.

To make such a design, it is necessary to cut a hole in the side of the beverage can according to the shape and size of the modem. The distance from the center of the recess to the bottom of the vessel is 38-40 mm on average. The exact figure can be calculated using a special calculator that can be easily found in a search engine.

The modem is pushed into the hole and secured with a glue gun.

Reception of a signal from a transmitting center to an amplifier should be carried out with a minimum amount of interference.

When adjusting the signal, it is necessary to change the depth of the device in the bank and turn the improvised antenna towards the tower in order to achieve the optimal result. You can check the results by taking measurements of speed and ping on the Iota official website or special resources like speedtest.net.

The structure is connected to a computer or router using a USB extension cable.

Pseudo-satellite

The design of the pseudo-satellite is very similar to the can design, but its advantage is in a larger area of ​​the reflective surface, in addition, it is used both as an internal and an outdoor one. A cardboard box covered with foil, a stainless steel pan, an aluminum bowl or a metal grid is used as a reflector.

The modem is mounted inside the 4G / LTE signal booster with screws inserted into the drilled holes.

The modem is placed perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the lateral parts of the reflector.

If the structure is mounted outdoors, then the modem should be protected with polyethylene or a plastic tube.

Correctly directional pseudo-satellite is quite effective and significantly enhances the 4G signal.

Reliable, and at the same time very easy to manufacture, is the Kharchenko antenna. In fact, it is a thick copper wire bent by a figure eight. Such a workpiece is placed on top of a reflector with a metallized surface. It is very important in the manufacture to clearly maintain the dimensions of the figure eight and set the broadcasting frequency in order to reduce possible interference to a minimum. The cable is connected to the modem through the connector. If there is none, it is necessary to disassemble the modem and solder the cable to the board.

Using a signal reflector

To amplify the signal, you can use special devices - reflectors. To connect such devices, you must:

• insert a modem into the USB connector that is not designed for connecting an external antenna;
• connect USB cable to laptop or computer.

The principle of operation of the reflector is that the modem, installed in the focus of the device, receives the reflected signals.

This is not to say that the amplification effect will be very significant, but nevertheless the signal will stabilize and become a little more powerful.

You can purchase a ready-made reflective device, or you can make an impromptu one, for example, from a tin can, foil or a colander.

Disassemble the Yota modem and solder the cables from the external antenna to the connectors on the board

Yota modems have special technological connectors. We need them for testing. If the modem is disassembled and the external antenna is soldered to the modem board, then such a solution will give a significant signal amplification.

However, this amplification method also has a number of disadvantages:

• high probability of physical damage to the modem;
• requires the purchase of a cable and adapters;
• significant signal losses are observed at intermediate elements (wires, connectors, connectors).

This signal amplification idea works, but it is quite risky and requires good soldering skills.

If you don't want to disassemble the modem and connect pigtails, you can purchase ready-made devices that work from the box. The provider offers models for urban conditions, for example, the YotaStation M14. But in the village, in the country or in a private house, it is better to install YotaGrid 24.
