Almost every mobile operator offers its customers the opportunity to use USB modems. The use of such devices has a wide range of disadvantages, but in some cases it is simply impossible to find any alternative to it.
The main advantage of a USB modem can be seen by eye - it can be used almost anywhere, but, unfortunately, the connection quality often leaves much to be desired. In addition, USB modems almost never need to be configured, since in most cases they are immediately ready for use and work with a specific telecom operator. It is due to the fact that the quality of communication of one USB-modem in a certain place may not be the best, the owner of such a device may become a hostage of the situation and acquire another one, spending his personal savings. Fortunately, this is far from the only way to get out of this situation. In order to achieve a good signal quality, you can flash a USB modem and use this device almost everywhere.
Modem firmware
In order to flash a USB modem, you first need to find and download the archive with the firmware, since today they can be found quite easily on the Internet, with different types. Each user, based on their own preferences and wishes, can choose the most optimal option and download it. After the archive is downloaded, you need to pull out the SIM card from the USB modem and connect the empty modem to your personal computer. Most likely, the system will immediately start asking the user to install drivers to work with the new device, but you do not need to do this, using the "Cancel" button, you must refuse it. Now you can open the archive with the firmware and run the installer, which should be inside. During the installation procedure, the user needs to do everything that will be indicated in the instructions and wait for the procedure to complete. It usually takes no more than 10 minutes.
Connecting to the network
When the installation is completed, you need to reopen the archive with the firmware and find there special software that will connect to the network through any operator convenient for the user. It is required to install this software instead of the standard USB modem connection setup program that is offered initially. After launching this software in its settings, you must specify special data that will open access to the network through a particular telecom operator. For example, for MTS, the access point is internet.mts.ru, and the password is mts. For Beeline - internet.beeline.ru, and as a password beeline. The same goes for other telecom operators, respectively.
