Usb modem megaphone m100. Advantages of Porotherm ceramic blocks from Wienerberger

New multi-mode USB-modem for working in MegaFon and Yota networks. The device supports lTE standards (FDD / TDD) / UMTS / GSM with automatic switching, the declared maximum data reception rate in the 4G network is up to 100 Mbit / s. The modem is locked to work in MegaFon networks and will not work with a USIM card from another operator.

This device cannot be called small, although the modem looks much more compact than the Huawei E392. And it doesn't get so hot, which indicates less power consumption. But we are still far from the comfortable size of 3G modems, universal devices with 4G support are much larger. The new modem doesn't look too bulky due to its well-proportioned proportions.

The striking resemblance to the “proprietary” Yota LTE modem immediately catches the eye, the design and proportions are almost identical. And this is not surprising, the developer of both devices is Iota Devices LLC, the importer is the same Distribution Center. True, the manufacturer of the Yota LTE modem is Quanta Computer Inc, and the MegaFon M100-1 universal modem was manufactured by Tech-Giant Computer Co. But both companies (Quanta and Tech-Giant) are registered at the same legal address in Shanghai, so it is possible that the structural unit was separated into a separate company or some other administrative event happened.

Just a few days ago, the company Scartel (Yota) received 1.6 million telephone numbers in the code (DEF) 999 with the distribution of blocks throughout Russia, so it is quite possible that Yota subscribers will be able to buy such modems with Yota SIM cards and use 3G / 2G data transmission in the MegaFon network. And there it is not far from the transfer of voice within the MVNO. However, let's not think about it and this is a topic for another conversation.

Complete set and price

A modest box, the modem itself, a warranty card and a quick user guide, that's it. There will probably still be a microUSIM card in the commercial delivery. No adapter cords, green ribbons or other decor. The color is black, but there is talk of a white version.

The estimated price is 1,990 rubles, this figure was obtained from a search engine. Although the price was not found on the regional MegaFon website. The Huawei E392 costs exactly the same, so it looks like the truth.

Main characteristics

• The speed of data reception by the modem is up to 100 Mbit / s, transmission - up to 50 Mbit / s. The actual speed of reception / transmission depends on the technological capabilities and congestion of the network, and the natural conditions for the propagation of radio waves.
• USB and microUSB connectors
• Plug'n'Play device, support for SMS

PC Requirements:

• USB interface
• OS Microsoft Windows® XP SP3, Windows® Vista
• SP1 / SP2, Windows® 7, 8; Mac OS® X 10.5 - 10.8
• Free space on hard disk not less than 15 MB
• RAM at least 1 GB
• Screen resolution at least 800 x 600 pixels

Design

The modem does not have a memory card, additional slots for external antenna also no. In this sense, Huawei E392 looks more interesting. Rotator with open-type USB plug and additional microUSB socket. The SIM-card is inserted into a narrow slot under the rotator, "hides" into the slot completely, and is pushed out when pressed.

It should be noted that some minor design flaws were fixed. For example, the rotator now has five fixed positions (there were three).

An inconspicuous but useful protrusion has appeared on the edge of the rotator. It seems to be a trifle, but opening the modem has become much more convenient, and this micro-improvement will save a lot of nails.

The microUSB socket has acquired a normal trapezoidal shape. In the previous version, there was a rectangle, just paint on the "correct" side, so that every time you do not guess by the "scientific poke" method.

Apparently, in order to save space, they abandoned the usual SIM card in favor of microSIM. They won a few millimeters, but they added a headache to the subscribers. Perhaps the problem of the shortage of microSIM with LTE support will be resolved by the start of the modem's sales, but now there are very few such MegaFon SIM cards in Moscow, many complain about this. I ran through the surrounding salons, I could not find it anywhere. And in one salon they honestly said that they had never received them at all. But nanoSIM LTE - for God's sake, they are everywhere. Enchanting absurdity: the iPhone 5 does not work in the Russian LTE network, but there are sim cards. The same Lumia 920 works in the LTE network, but a sim card for it cannot be found with fire during the day. Maybe these microSIMs with LTE support for the MegaFon network do not exist yet?

I would advise you not to suffer with the search for elusive microSIM LTE, but to take the usual USIM LTE and cut it off in one of the communication salons. Many dealers have already acquired these simple machines, and MegaFon USIMs cut well without damaging the contact plates. As an additional bonus - a ready-made adapter and preservation of the card's versatility, there is always a piece of tape in the house. Greedy sellers, by the way, ask for 100-150 rubles. for such adapters complete with an analogue of a paper clip.

Job

For experiments, a regular SIM-card with a voice tariff was purchased and "without leaving the checkout" was replaced with USIM. Next, enable the option “ Unlimited Internet for the 4G Pro smartphone ”and for 30 rubles. enjoy full LTE per day. According to the description, the maximum speed on this option is limited to 20 Mbit / s, but for some reason this limitation does not work on the LTE network. Probably works in 3G and EDGE, but as you understand, it was not possible to check.

The feeling from the modem operation in the LTE network is ambiguous. With a good signal, this M100-1 works fine and, in my opinion, is not inferior to the Huawei E392 modem. Even seemed a little quicker, but I will not venture to say. But under conditions of poor reception, the M100-1 is not so good and starts to lose. Apparently, this is due to the large size of the antenna of the E392. For such conditions, we can safely recommend a passive antenna, it works unexpectedly well with this modem.

The modem did not always demonstrate 30 Mbit / s and more, but stable 25+ Mbit / s gave exactly and without interruptions. In conditions of a good signal, but, on the other hand, in the house through a triple glass unit.

There are no complaints about working in 3G, everything works smoothly and stably. I could have worked faster, but there's nothing you can do about it, in my area MegaFon's 3G network has become much slower over the past year and a half. Either they adjusted something unsuccessfully, or the load on the network has grown greatly and LTE will really come in handy.

It's the same in 2G. Without any special claims, but also without high-speed "miracles". In general, we can say that in 2G and 3G networks Huawei E392 works better, but the new M100-1 is not inferior to popular models such as E352 and E367. Again, according to subjective feelings.

At the same time, I compared the M100-1 with the Yota LTE modem. A direct comparison is incorrect, since the Yota modem has a hardware limitation, and the Yota segment of the LTE network, most likely, is still more loaded. Plus the famous system of adaptive rate limiting depending on the load and, according to some statements, on the type of traffic. Yota has a wealth of experience in this business; at one time, torrent lovers almost "stacked" fragments of the WiMax network. In any case, I did not see the hardware limitations of the M100-1.

It was not possible to make friends with the M100-1 modem with a Keenetic 4G router, despite the recently installed latest firmware version 2, with which Huawei E392 MTS successfully earned in this router. Perhaps the point is in my insufficient "direct hands", but just in case, keep in mind.

Software

The "proprietary" Connect Manager unexpectedly liked its functionality. The design does not shine with beauty, but it is done sensibly. For example, the ability to rigidly select any of the three standards (LTE-3G-2G) is useful. Also allowed to change the standard "on the fly" with a live connection, it's great. And then many beginners are tormented, not realizing that to change the standard or range, you must first break the current connection. The M100-1 manager learned to disconnect the connection itself when specifying other settings.

Management of Wi-Fi connections was introduced into the Manager interface, the principle of "one window" in action. Can be set in the settings automatic shutdown modem when connected via Wi-Fi, you can view statistics on Wi-Fi traffic, etc. Among other "useful things" - a demonstration of the amount on the balance of a personal account in the connection indicator window.

The Manager interface provides for sending SMS and USSD commands. The section "My account" is still "under development", inside there is only a link to the Service Guide. Probably, over time, they will add information about the tariff and connected services / packages.

All sorts of graphs and statistical reports on traffic are also present, where without them. In general, a good Manager turned out. A noted drawback is the lack of information on which network the SIM card is registered in. In the "Auto" mode, you will not know this until you establish a connection, the corresponding icon appears only when connected. Unfortunately, this Manager does not work with other modems, it simply does not see them.

Summary

The modem gives the impression of a good "workhorse" and does not look as "monster" as the Huawei E392. Glitches and freezes were not noticed for several days. For the pros and cons, see above, of the significant shortcomings I would call the modem inoperability in the router. I hope this is a temporary flaw. Still not like the open-type USB plug, not the best option for a laptop on the go. The rest of the device is quite usable.

Friends, I am glad to welcome you again! The other day I was faced with such a question as how to unlock a 4g megaphone modem to get the Internet through any SIM cards. I had to sit for half a day, but still managed to unlock the modem. Now I'll tell you how I did it.

In general, the operator distributes a megaphone good internet, but now the operator Tele2 has made convenient tariffs and I use their Internet. What to do now, buy a Tele2 device or find a way to unlock a 4g megaphone modem? Of course, the second option.

If in USB device megaphone insert a sim card of another operator, then you will be given the opportunity to enter the unlock code and unlock this modem so that it works with any sim cards. There are ten attempts to enter the code. But where can I get this code?

Don't try to guess it, because after the tenth attempt the modem will be blocked. I found several options on the Internet to get an unlock code, all of them are too complicated, using some kind of programs, both paid and free.

It turns out that all USB devices that we have are made in China by Huawei, so to unlock them, you need to use the utilities for the gadgets of this particular company.

And so, let's start unlocking the 4G megaphone modem. First you need to download this program to your computer. Huawei Unlock Code Calculator.

Now run it and here you need to enter the IMEI of your modem. You will find it on the inside of the lid. Remove the cover from the USB device and immediately see the IMEI.

Write this number and click on the "Calk" button. The program will display the code numbers V1, V2 and V201. Now insert the sim card into the USB modem and connect to the computer. If you have not yet installed a megaphone Internet control program, it will be installed automatically.

In the upper right corner, I have a field for entering the unlock code. First I entered the V1 code, but it turned out to be wrong. Then I entered the V2 code and it also turned out to be wrong. But when I entered the V201 code, the Internet Tele2 appeared via the USB device of the Megafon operator.

That's all, I told how to unlock the 4g megaphone modem and nothing was complicated in my method. The program that you need to download is light and easy to download and run, when you enter IMEI, it instantly gives out unlock codes.

And the USB modem itself is instantly flashed for all operators with the correct code entry. Therefore, I recommend using this simple and free method.
