To connect the laptop to the Internet, the Wi-Fi router or modem is most often used. The latter will need to go to the network in restaurants, business centers, on the street, etc. In order to avoid connection problems, it is very important to choose the device model correctly.
1
Decide which type of device you need. It can be external or inner. The inner model must be connected to the system board slot, and external to the USB connector. The last option is the most common. If you can easily disassemble a laptop and independently install a modem there, prefer the internal model. It will allow you to leave all USB connectors free. But the external modem is simpler in the installation. In addition, you can connect it to any device having a USB connector. There is another type of modem called a 3G-Wi-Fi router. It is a small USB device that can distribute the network to several devices. This model can approach you if you have several devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop). But its cost is slightly higher classic options.

Select Provider. There are three most well-known companies in the Russian market - Beeline, MegaFon and MTS. Ask the Council from friends who use the services of these firms. Do not forget to clarify whether the modem can connect to the networks of various providers. Some models are designed to use only a specific provider, so if you want to change it, you will have to change the modem. But most often, such devices are sold in cellular salons, which are fixed behind a specific operator.

Select the modem manufacturer. Most technical stores sell models from ZTE and Huawei companies, the devices of the French company Alcatel are also common. You can visit the sites of these manufacturers:
Pay attention to the bandwidth of the device - it should not be below the speed of accessing the Internet. Among users are very popular options with a classic speed of 7.2 Mb / s. If in your city the speed of the Internet is medium, it makes no sense to overpay for a model with a large bandwidth. Another thing, if you are constantly moving in different regions. Then it is preferable to purchase devices that operate at 14.4 or even 28.8 Mbps.
5
Before you buy a device, connect it to a laptop. There are external models, the size of which closes neighboring USB connectors. If you caught this option, select the smaller model. Also consultants can offer you a special extension cord. It will allow not to close neighboring connectors and achieve a higher signal level in some zones.

When choosing a modem, you may encounter a situation in which no device will like you in terms of the quality of the connection. In this case, you can purchase a network signal amplifier. It is a small plate with a USB wire. If you insert a modem into it, you can achieve a good signal. But the cost of this amplifier equals the value of the modem itself. Therefore, many users acquire a regular USB wire, the cost of which does not exceed 100 rubles, and hang the modem on the window.
Following the councils listed listed, you can choose the most appropriate model of the device. If for some reason it does not suit you, you have the right to return it back to the store within 14 days from the date of purchase.
