How to connect a USB modem to a tablet: an easy way. How to connect an MTS modem to an Android tablet

Try to connect the modem to the same port, which will save you from waiting for re-installing drivers on the device.

If you want to use the services of another operator without changing your existing MTS modem, then you can reflash your MTS modem.

How to connect a modem to a router

Some routers have the ability to connect USB modems. Thanks to this, they can “distribute” network access to other users (via Wi-Fi or cable). For this purpose, it is best to choose the most advanced router model that supports all modern 3G and 4G modems.

How to connect an MTS modem to a router? Everything happens in a few steps:

We make sure that the equipment is compatible;
Install the modem into the router’s USB port;
We go to the web interface of the router and make the necessary settings.

In the settings we need to create a connection to 3G and 4G networks by creating the appropriate profile and indicating in it the dial-up number * 99 # and the address of the access point internet.ms.ru. If necessary, specify automatic connection establishment when the router is turned on (the most convenient option). By the way, some routers already have settings built into them for all Russian operators.

If your modem is not compatible with the router, you need to update the router software or replace it with a more advanced and modern model.

How to connect an MTS modem to a tablet

Here everything is somewhat more complicated, but 90-95% of users will be able to cope with the task. If something doesn’t work out, you’ll have to contact specialized specialists. So, how to connect an MTS modem to a tablet? Two options await us - if the tablet supports connecting USB modems, then everything will go smoothly.

We take the modem itself and a special cable for connecting external devices (OTG cable), connect the device to the micro-USB port. A 3G symbol (or a scale showing the network signal strength) should appear next to the clock. Next, create a connection in the tablet settings (in the wireless network settings), indicate there the access point internet.mts.ru and the dial-up number * 99 #. We activate data transfer and enjoy the result.

The second option is that the tablet may not see the modem - this is due to the fact that it is defined as a removable device (CD-ROM). In this case, you need to connect the modem to the computer and get into it using the program "Hyper Terminal". When you start the program, a window will open asking you to select the device you want to connect to - select our modem. After establishing the connection, enter the command ate1, after which we enter the command AT^U2DIAG=0. Entering both commands should result in an OK response.

The AT^U2DIAG=0 command is intended for most modems from HUAWEI. If an error occurs while entering the command, try searching for the AT command for your specific modem model.

The essence of all the above movements boils down to the fact that we must get rid of the definition of a modem as a composite device (modem + CD-ROM), since first of all it is defined as a CD-ROM. And many tablets (especially Chinese) require that it be identified as a modem. After this, you can connect the device to the tablet port and configure the connection.

How to disable MTS modem

Disabling modems is very simple - interrupt the connection in the MTS Connect program (or disable data transfer on the tablet PC), and then remove the device from the USB port. Perhaps you do not want to disable, but unlock your MTS modem. In this case, read the article at this link.

Dear friends, today we will learn how to connect a Beeline modem to an Android tablet. First you need to configure the modem itself, and only then connect it to the device. Parameters are set from a personal computer.

Let's look at the standard algorithm for this:

Connect your Beeline modem or Wi-Fi router to your computer or laptop. Wait for the drivers to install.
Go to the “My Computer” menu and click on the Beeline icon in the category of connected devices. This will launch the software installer.
Follow the prompts on the screen to install the modem application on your PC.
When finished, check whether the device is connected to the Internet.

standard USB modem.

Select the device that you have. Then go to the appropriate block with the description and follow the steps presented. If errors occur, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

How to connect a tablet to a Beeline modem

So, as noted above, there are two ways to connect a Beeline modem to an Android tablet: these are wireless and wired methods. Let's consider each of them separately. That is, you will first need to select the type of device you have: if you have a Wi-Fi router, then the first method is at your service. Owners of USB modems look at the second one. Go!

Wi-Fi router

There are no particular difficulties here, since the device itself is designed to connect to any gadgets that have a wireless communication module. If you are not sure about this, refer to the tablet's instruction manual. There you can view the technical characteristics of the device in detail. In addition to the usual instructions, the Internet is at your service, where you can find almost any information. So, your tablet has a Wi-Fi module, just like a router. What's next?

Go to the gadget settings using the standard menu, find the Wi-Fi item and go there. Move the slider to the active position so that the device starts searching for active wireless networks. In the resulting list, find the name of your modem (depending on the standard or custom settings of the router). Click on it once. Enter the security password, if required: a separate window for entering it appears. Click on the virtual button “Connect” (the name varies depending on the version of the Android operating system and the installed shell). Ready!

Now check the Internet using the built-in browser on your tablet, for example. You can also check your connection speed by installing a special application from the GooglePlay store. If you encounter connection problems, go to the “Troubleshooting” block, presented below.

USB modem

Well, we’ve reached the most problematic category: standard Beeline USB modems. We won’t talk about the ease of using them on devices running the Android operating system, but we’ll just look at how to connect a Beeline modem to a tablet. Let us remind you that first you need to configure the modem via a computer or laptop, and only then connect it to the device. If you have not done this, we strongly recommend that you do these steps, otherwise you will not succeed.

Next, you need to look at the available ports on the tablet: set their exact type. For example, most devices are equipped only with a micro-USB input. For such users, you will need an OTG cable, which is an adapter from micro to regular standard USB. You can purchase it both in the city store and on the Internet. It is recommended to take a high-quality cord. Look at reviews from other customers, look towards well-known brands. When you have such a cable on hand, connect it to the tablet. Then insert the Beeline modem into the USB port and wait for the device to be identified.

If you have a full-fledged USB port on your tablet, then in this regard it is much easier for you: just insert the modem there and that’s it. In the same way, the entrance to the docking station is suitable, if one is included in the kit. So, the device is connected, but the Internet does not work. Let's move on.

The point is that you need to enable cellular data on your tablet. To do this, use the mobile data network settings through the settings menu. Please note that users of tablets that do not have a SIM card (Wi-Fi version) do not have such a menu item. You can take advantage of third-party applications from the GooglePlay store, for example, the PPP WidGet program.

Troubleshooting

Check the charge indicator level of your Wi-Fi router. If it is discharged, it will not work. Just in case, you can put it on charge.
Look at the balance of the SIM card that is installed in the communication device: it is possible that there is not enough money to connect to the network. The same applies to the tariff plan: get more from the Beeline mobile operator.
Some tablets may simply block access to these types of devices. You should not change the structure of the operating system with root rights, for example, as you can void warranty service and simply break the gadget.

Conclusion

Friends, now you know how to connect your tablet to a Beeline modem. We looked at options for both a bee carrier Wi-Fi router and a standard USB device. We hope that everything worked out for you and there are no questions left. Don't forget to share your opinion, impressions and experiences in the comments.

How to connect a modem to a tablet?

Tablets have already become as much a daily necessity as mobile phones. However, their application possibilities are no less than those of modern smartphones. Some people buy a tablet for work, some for entertainment (watching movies, videos, listening to music, reading books, communicating on social networks), and some just as a toy. Regardless of the purpose for which you purchase a tablet, sooner or later you will want to connect it to the Internet.

There are several options for connecting to the Internet from a tablet: connect to your home Wi-Fi router, use public wireless networks, which are now located everywhere from cafes and restaurants to the metro, set up a laptop as a Wi-Fi access point, or purchase a 3G modem. The last option is most preferable if you do not want to be tied to any specific place. When using a Wi-Fi network, you are always limited by the network coverage area. Mobile operator networks can now be reached almost everywhere.

We will tell you in more detail about accessing the Internet via a 3G modem and how to connect the modem to your tablet. Many tablets have a built-in 3G modem, while others do not even have the ability to connect an external modem. Therefore, before connecting the modem to the tablet, check its technical specifications.

Step-by-step setup and connection

First, you will need to connect the modem to your laptop and computer and make the initial modem settings. Once you have connected the modem to your computer, follow the onscreen instructions. Having installed all the necessary components, open the mobile client dialog box and, through the “Tools” submenu, disable PIN code verification.

In addition, before connecting the modem to the tablet, you must set the device to Modem Only mode. Otherwise, the tablet will perceive it as a flash drive. To do this, you will need to download or install an additional program: either a terminal program like HyperTerminal, or a special program for switching 3G modem modes - 3GSW. The 3GSW program was originally developed to simplify the use of modems from the Taiwanese company ZyXEL and the Chinese Huawei. However, they are suitable for most modems on the market. If you cannot configure your modem using this program, use HyperTerminal.

To configure via 3G Modem Mode Switcher:

Run the program's executable file;
Click the “Modem Only” button.

To configure via HyperTerminal:

Go to "Device Manager".
In the Modems category, select the modem model you are using.
Right-click to open Properties.
On the "Modem" tab, find the port number and speed, remember them.
Launch the program.
Note the port number you found earlier and specify the speed.
Enter ate1. Wait for a response.
Enter at^u2diag=0.
The modem can be removed.

After switching the modem to the appropriate mode, connect it to the tablet and perform the following steps:

On the tablet, in the "Wireless connection settings" menu, select the 3G type.
Insert the modem into the tablet. If your tablet only has a mini-USB connector, you will need an adapter, which can be purchased at any mobile accessories store.
In the cellular network settings, create a new access point (APN) and enter the Internet connection data provided by your operator.
After saving, the new access point should become active. After a short period of time, you should see a 3G Internet icon.
Open your browser and you can start surfing the Internet.

As you can see, setting up a connection via a 3G modem is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. By setting it up just once, you will open up a world of limitless Internet possibilities.

If you still don’t know all the capabilities of your tablet, we recommend reading an article that will help you discover interesting features of the new technical device.

Most Chinese tablet computers running Android OS formally support connecting a 3G modem via USB. But, due to the lack of necessary drivers or incorrect settings, even tablet models with declared support sometimes refuse to work. When you connect the modem to the device and launch the utility for working with 3G, nothing happens. The problem is that modern modems are recognized as composite USB devices - the modem itself and a virtual CD-ROM, and sometimes also a flash drive. The Android operating system cannot work with “composite” devices, so to successfully use a 3G modem it must be switched to “modem only” mode. This is done using the “Hyper Terminal” utility in Windows XP or Vista (for Windows 7 you will have to install it additionally). Another important nuance is that you need to disable PIN code checking by the modem (if this is not done, the tablet will not save the entered settings).
First of all, you need to disable PIN code checking on the modem and switch it to
"modem only"
1) Connect the modem to a personal computer. If you connect the modem for the first time, the driver and software installation wizard will start. For example, the pictures show the installation process of “MTS Connect” (software from other providers is installed in a similar way).

Following the program's instructions, complete the driver installation and make sure that the modem works. Just in case, save somewhere a copy of all the files contained on the modem’s virtual CD.

2) Disable PIN code checking on the modem. To do this, launch the software installed by the modem and press the tab “Disable PIN code verification...”. In the “MTS Connect” program it is located in “Options”, in the “MegaFon Internet” program - in “Tools” (see pictures below). Other mobile operators also have the “PIN Code Operations” tab.

3) Switch the modem to “modem only” mode. To do this, disconnect the computer from the Internet and launch the “Hyper Terminal” program. In Windows XP, it is located in Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > Hyper Terminal.
In the “Connection Description” window, write any name, say “Huawei,” and press ENTER. We are waiting for the “Connection” window to appear. In its last column “Connect via” you need to select “HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem” and click “OK”. The next window after this with the phone number and other parameters just needs to be closed by clicking the “Cancel” button.

Now on the program panel, click the last button “Properties” and in the “Properties: Modem” window that opens, go to the “Settings” tab. Then click the “ASCII Options” button and check the second box from the top “Display entered characters on screen”. Click "OK".

The top “ASCII Settings” window will close and the bottom window will remain - “Properties: Modem”. Click “OK” and close the last window. The cursor will blink in the main program window. Turn on CAPS LOCK and type the “AT” command. Press ENTER - the answer “OK” appears (this means the connection with the modem is established). Next, enter the command AT^U2DIAG=0 (to switch the modem to “modem only” mode) and press ENTER. We see “OK” in response. Close the “Hyper Terminal” window by answering “YES” to the proposal to interrupt the communication session and “NO” to maintaining the connection.

4) Make sure that CD-ROM emulation is disabled. To do this, disconnect the modem from the USB port (don’t forget to do “Safely remove USB storage device”) and connect it again to the same port. No “new” virtual CD-ROM should appear in the “My Computer” folder - only the real ones that actually exist. Turn off the PC and disconnect the modem from the USB connector.

Setting up an Android tablet to work with a 3G modem

5) Go to the tablet menu Settings > Wireless networks and check the box “3G (open 3G)”. Then go to the “Mobile network” tab and check if “Data transfer” is enabled. If not, enable it (check the box).

6) Now we connect the 3G modem to the Android tablet and wait about 20 seconds until the tablet detects it and the active network icon appears (3g signal level without a cross). Click the “Access Points (APN)” tab. To add a new point, press the “Menu” button on the tablet and select the “New access point” tab. We enter the data of our operator (if your 3G modem is “locked”, most likely, some of the data will already be entered).

If the hotspot still doesn't activate (this is exactly what happened to me), simply restart the Android OS. To do this, turn off the tablet completely and disconnect the modem.
7) Turn on the tablet and wait until the system boots completely. Connect the 3G modem to the USB port and wait 7-10 seconds. A “3G” icon will appear next to the battery icon. Everything works, setting up the 3G modem for the Android tablet is complete.

Even though tablet computers appeared not so long ago, they actually revolutionized all users’ understanding of what mobile devices are like in terms of ergonomics. Currently, every tablet user has the opportunity to listen to their favorite songs, watch videos, read books, etc. The fundamental task of tablet computers is to provide each owner with the opportunity to access the Internet.

It doesn't matter where it is. This feature is implemented via Wi-Fi or 3G/LTE networks. Wi-Fi networks are usually available for free in crowded places (clubs, shopping and entertainment organizations). In other cases, users have the opportunity to connect to the World Wide Web using cellular operators - 3G/LTE. If it is not possible to connect to the first or second option, then connecting a USB modem to the tablet will always come in handy.

Connecting a USB modem to a tablet is quite simple; every user can do it, devoting literally a few minutes to this process. So, you can connect a USB modem to your tablet by following these instructions:

First you need to set the special modem mode - “only modem” (only modem). To do this, you must connect the modem to your desktop or laptop via the universal input. Please note that it should be connected to a computer, but not to your device!
Next, you must insert the CD into the drive that comes in the box along with the USB modem on which the drivers are located. They can also be downloaded on the Internet.
What follows is a simple automatic installation of the 3G modem driver on your PC.
If you are a user of the Windows XP operating system, then it will be easier for you to launch the HyperTerminal application - a program for connecting a 3G modem to a tablet. Startup method in OS XP: click START (Start) – ALL PROGRAMS (All programs) – STANDARTS (Standard) – Communication. This is her full address. If you are a Windows 7 or Windows 8 user, then you will need to download HyperTerminal from the Internet.
After launching the HyperTerminal application, you will see a dialog describing the connection. Here you need to give a name of your choice for your future connection.
After this, a dialog box will appear - “connect via”. You need to select the name of your 3G modem currently connected. Next, click the “OK” button.
After this procedure, a dialogue will follow with entering the phone number and other settings. You should close it. Just click the "Cancel" button.
Next, in the main menu (top line) of the HyperTerminal program you should go to “Properties”. When you see a dialog called “PROPERATIONS: MODEM”, click on the “Settings/Options” tab, select “Settings/ASCII Options” and check the box next to “Display entered characters on screen”. Double-clicking the “Ok” button will allow you to return to the main program dialog.
Now all you have to do is manually write the command and press Enter on your keyboard. Actually, the command is AT^U2DIAG=0.
So you managed to configure the modem in the desired mode! You can now close the HyperTerminal application.

Setting up a USB modem on a tablet

So, turn on your gadget. After it completely launches all the programs necessary for operation, finishes searching and preparing the SD card and other operations, you need to do the following:

Go to the menu, select “Options”;
Then select the “Wireless Networks” section;
Click on “Access Points (APN)”;
Now enter the details of the mobile operator you need, which provides network services (for example, MTS, Megafon, etc.). In order to fill out this item, you should obtain information from your mobile operator in advance. You can do this by calling the operator, or by sending the appropriate USSD request so that everything you need will be sent to you automatically.

Setting up an MTS USB modem

As an example, let's create an access point for the mobile operator MTS (Russia).

Name: internet.mts.ru.
Call number: *99#.
Name and Username: mts.
After filling out these items, click “Use default settings.”

After completing this work, reboot your device. After the restart has been completed, connect a USB modem to the tablet. If you did everything correctly and the installation was completed successfully, then next to the battery charge indicator you will be able to see the 3G icon. In fact, this completes the connection of the USB modem to the tablet. Now you have the opportunity to use a 3G modem to access the Internet from your tablet, anywhere and anytime. And finally, having done this work, you can easily explain to your friends how to connect the tablet to a 3G modem.

If you want to buy yourself a mobile 3G modem in order to connect it to your Android tablet and stay connected, then first you need to check all the possible compatibility of your tablet and, accordingly, the modem. As many users probably already know, most mobile modems are manufactured by Huawei. Modem modules from this manufacturer do not require extensive configuration and installation efforts. Therefore, we recommend buying a 3G module for your device from this company. And so that it is clear to everyone, we have broken down the process of connecting the modem to the tablet into several very simple steps...
1) First you need to go to Settings->Wireless networks->Mobile network;

2) Make sure that data transfer is installed on your tablet. If not, then check the box opposite the “Data transfer” item;

3) Next we just need to connect the modem to the tablet via USB;
4) We wait about 20-30 seconds until the Android operating system recognizes the connected device;
5) As soon as the network icon appears on the screen, click on the menu item “APN access points” to add a new access point;
6) In the menu, select the “New access point” item and write down the data of your cellular operator there. If your 3G module is blocked, then there is a high probability that the data has already been automatically entered;

7) After making the settings, active access points should appear on the screen in the “APN access points” item;
8) Select the access point we need and wait about 10-20 seconds for the connection to be established;
9) Check the availability of the Internet.
That's all the points to learn how to connect a modem to a tablet. I think everything is clear and clear. If you do not know the settings of your mobile operator, then they are all written below.

APN settings for mobile operators MTS, Megafon, Beeline:
Name: any according to your aspiration.

Troubleshooting

Check the charge indicator level of your Wi-Fi router. If it is discharged, it will not work. Just in case, you can put it on charge.
Look at the balance of the SIM card that is installed in the communication device: it is possible that there is not enough money to connect to the network. The same applies to the tariff plan: get more detailed information from the Beeline mobile operator.
Some tablets may simply block access to these types of devices. You should not change the structure of the operating system with root rights, for example, as you can void warranty service and simply break the gadget.

Conclusion

It can be done in various ways. But if your gadget does not have a slot for a SIM card, and there is a need to use the Internet in places where there is no wireless network, then the only option is to connect a 3G modem. Made in the form of a flash drive, it will help you catch the network wherever there is cellular network coverage. Below we tell you how to connect a modem to your tablet and avoid possible problems.

When purchasing a modem, it is important to decide on a cellular operator so that it has coverage in the place where the device will be used. Today the main choice is Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2 and Yota. Which option to choose is a personal matter for everyone. But it is worth noting that for traveling throughout the country, Megafon and MTS are better suited, since they have the largest coverage and usually catch even in the outback. Tele2 is a fairly budget option, but there are a lot of places where the connection will not be received, or the signal will be too weak. Beeline is an option for everyone; there are good tariffs, but far from the most profitable. Yota will appeal to those who like to fully manage their services. The operator is relatively young, so not all users trust it.

A device from one manufacturer does not work with SIM cards from another service provider. It is possible to change the firmware of the accessory so that it works with any SIM, but this is quite problematic and unsafe from the point of view of the further operation of the modem.

Advice! The modem is usually sold with a SIM card and an connected tariff, so when purchasing, you should clarify which tariff is connected, and if necessary, switch to a more optimal one.

Regarding the device, the options may be as follows: model with Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G distribution. The first type is the most convenient, since it does not require a physical connection to the device, and the entire setup consists only of turning on Wi-Fi. 3G modems are rare today, but they can come from friends or just lie idle on a shelf. The downside is that the connection speed will not be the highest, but if the buyer is only interested in surfing or working with mail, then this option is quite suitable. 4G modems provide high connection speeds, which are enough for a variety of tasks - from just communicating on the Internet to online games.

Connecting a modem

Connecting your device to the Internet using a USB modem is not difficult. If the device is new, then there will be no problems at all, since they provide support for such devices, and usually there are no problems with installing drivers. If the tablet is old, then nuances may arise, for example, Prestigio and Lenovo models with a release date more than 5 years ago did not have OTG support, that is, they did not know how to work with USB devices even through the appropriate adapter.

You can connect a 3G modem to an Android tablet directly via a USB connector, if provided in the device, or via an OTG cable. When choosing the latter, you should first find out which output is provided in the tablet. Thus, older Samsung models did not have the microUSB output that is familiar today, but their own format with a wide plug. In modern models, new Type-C format.

OTG cable

When the adapter is purchased, you need to connect the usb modem to the Android tablet via this cable. The system must detect the device. In some cases, you will be automatically prompted to install drivers for the device; you must agree with this. After installing them, the Internet will automatically start working.

Advice! If the driver is not installed automatically, you can download it from the official website of the cellular operator or download it from the Play Market. The instructions for the modem will indicate exactly what needs to be downloaded.

If the device is detected by the accessory, but driver installation has not started, and the Internet does not work, you should configure it manually.

Possible problems

Sometimes it happens that connecting a modem to a tablet ends up with the device perceives it as a flash drive or does not see the modem at all. The problem may be that the modem was originally designed for PCs or laptops, and tablet compatibility is a secondary feature. In this case, the user needs to configure it in such a way that it is perceived by the mobile device only as a tablet, and not as a storage medium.

You need to connect the device to your computer and install all the proprietary software from the included disk or directly from the accessory’s memory (different manufacturers offer their own options).
After installing the software, you should log into it and look at the settings menu. Among other things, there will be a “modem only” option. It should be activated.
In addition, it is immediately recommended disable pin code verification so that this does not create additional inconvenience.

After completing these steps, connecting the USB modem to the tablet will not cause any other problems.

Another point that may be found among different tablet manufacturers is that it is necessary enable USB modem support. To do this, the user must enter the tablet settings and find the “mobile data” item or click on the “more” button. In the submenu that opens there will be an item “USB modem”, you should tick it and save the data.

An important point to know about Yota modems is that it will not work until the user creates a tariff for himself. To start using the Internet from this company, you need not only to connect it to your tablet and set up a mobile connection. The owner needs to download the branded application from the Play Market. The SIM card will be registered there, a certain numeric code will be assigned to it (there is no subscriber number in the traditional sense), and after that the buyer himself configures the tariff parameters. After completing these steps, the Internet will start working.

“Kroilovo leads to Padalov” is a long-known fact.

I bought myself a tablet without a 3G module in order to save money. “At work, at home, in cafes, in shopping centers - Wi-Fi,” I thought and saved. But in vain. There is no Wi-Fi on the highways, in villages, fishing spots and other barbecues. Of course, you can poke at the screen of a smartphone, but it’s more convenient and enjoyable to poke at the screen of a tablet. This issue needs to be resolved.

So, we have an Android tablet ( Texet TM-7854) and 4G USB modem ( Megafon M150-1, Huawei E3276). All modern Chinese cheap, wretched tablets have a USB host on board, which allows us to think about pairing these devices.

Clearly nothing will work out of the box, so you’ll have to move your fingers a little:

1. Receive on the tablet root access(each manufacturer and model has its own crutches, look for them on w3bsit3-dns.com and gsmforum.ru), install a terminal emulator, a file manager with full access to the file system and hot remount capabilities, for example Root Explorer. This completes the preparation of the tablet.

2. Go to the USB modem. It must be switched to " Modem only". Download and install DC-Unlocker on your computer. We connect the modem to the computer. Open DC-Unlocker, click Detect modem. If the modem is detected, then the program window will display data about the piece of hardware.

Now we switch the modem to the AT mode we need with the command. We disable the CD-ROM and Card Reader functions, because Android doesn’t understand composite USB devices, or rather, it understands them and dmesg speaks eloquently about this, but it doesn’t want to work with them, the bitch.

Enter the command into the DC-Unlocker window AT^SETPORT="A1;1,2", if we get OK in response, everything is correct. Now the device works only as a modem, faster and more stable.

Note: if you suddenly need to return all functions of the device, enter the command AT^SETPORT="A1;10,12,13,16,A1,A2"

3. Return to the tablet.
Editing the file /system/bin/preinstall.sh, add the line to it

echo "vid pid" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_ id

where vid and pid are the values of your usb modem. They can be viewed in Device Manager when the modem is connected to the computer. In my case Vid=12d1 Pid=1506

Reboot the tablet.

4. Now our tablet sees the modem and can work with it. We just need to find out which port our hardware is installed on
We connect the modem to the tablet with an OTG cable (included with all tablets costing more than two thousand rubles), wait 10-15 seconds until the modem connects to the nearest BS.
Open a terminal and give commands

su
dmesg

We look for a line in the output containing “GSM modem ...... ttyUSBx”, x is the port number on which the modem sits, for example ttyUSB0, remember this value.

5. Download GScriptMod and install it.
6. Create a gscript folder on the memory card and put these files there: one two .
Edit the first file and change the port value there to the one you received

.......................................
if [-c /dev/ ttyUSBx]; then
.......................................
.......................................
7. Create a directory /etc/ppp/peers, add a couple more files there: one, two
IN conf-pppd change ttyUSBx, enter the username and password, for our example the file will look like this:

defaultroute

noipdefault

Let's look at the standard algorithm for this:

Connect your Beeline modem or Wi-Fi router to your computer or laptop. Wait for the drivers to install.
Go to the “My Computer” menu and click on the Beeline icon in the category of connected devices. This will launch the software installer.
Follow the prompts on the screen to install the modem application on your PC.
When finished, check whether the device is connected to the Internet.

Beeline Wi-Fi router;
standard USB modem.

Select the device that you have. Then go to the appropriate block with the description and follow the steps presented. If errors occur, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting

Check the charge indicator level of your Wi-Fi router. If it is discharged, it will not work. Just in case, you can put it on charge.
Look at the balance of the SIM card that is installed in the communication device: it is possible that there is not enough money to connect to the network. The same applies to the tariff plan: get more detailed information from the Beeline mobile operator.
Some tablets may simply block access to these types of devices. You should not change the structure of the operating system with root rights, for example, as you can void warranty service and simply break the gadget.
