Wi-Fi in the car

The advantage of this router is the simultaneous support for unlimited Internet.

Car Wifi router: stationary and from the cigarette lighter, features of use

If you look at the range of manufacturers, not only mobile options are offered, but also stationary devices. Some of them support the 4G standard and are in great demand. For the car, it is recommended to choose a device with the following characteristics:

• R-UIM support;
• the presence of the display;
• GSM data transmission technology;
• work with mobile operators;
• Internet speed of 20 megabits per second;
• the ability to transmit data in two intervals;
• connector for an external antenna is installed;
• WAN / LAN port is used.

Set of equipment in the car to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi

Set of equipment for Wi-Fi in the car includes:

1. Router. It is a device for receiving and transmitting GSM signal with the simultaneous possibility of organizing a Wi-Fi access point. Its main features:

• the ability to connect to different networks;
• maximum number of users;
• the capacity of the battery;
• the ability to connect to antenna devices;
• battery life.

2. adapter for connecting to the on-board network. In most cases, routers are equipped with an adapter for connection to the car’s cigarette lighter socket.

3. antenna module. Often sold separately. The antenna helps increase the range and speed of reception and transmission.

4. Pigtail. A device for docking the router’s antenna micro-connector to the antenna connector. Typical size MS-156 corresponds to ZTE, Yota and Huawei routers.

USB modem with Wi-Fi

It looks like a usual USB flash drive and simultaneously performs two functions:

It takes up little space. You just plug it into a USB slot for power and the modem works. In my opinion, this is the best option. The area of impact is limited to a single vehicle. The power of the transmitter is not so big – and you do not need much. Also, do not take modems from MTS, Megafon, Iota, etc. The fact that they have inside the firmware prescribed the restriction, that is, taking the modem from MTS, you can work with SIM-cards only this company. A good selection can be seen here.

The change of SIM-cards often occurs in a long trip. And so you can use different “sim cards” in different regions and cities. After the purchase it remains to configure it. To do this, connect it to a laptop or computer and enter the data for the connection. They are in the contract to the SIM card.

Portable modem and router

Strictly speaking, this is absolutely the same thing as the 3G, 4G “whistle”, which we talked about in the last chapter. But these models are larger and can run on a rechargeable battery. So theoretically, you can take this router anywhere you want. Or you could just plug it into your car’s power and leave it there.

These devices are bigger and have a longer range. But most importantly, compared to a thumb drive, these kinds of routers can work with more devices. You should understand that small “flash drives” have weak hardware and can overheat, hang up if more than 2 devices are connected to it at the same time. This thing will be able to support internet distribution to 4 or more devices.

How to connect it?

To get the Internet, you need to buy a Sim card with the appropriate tariff from the operator. Car 4G Wi-Fi routers are equipped with trays for sims and support settings to work for any domestic mobile operator.

To ensure a good connection, you can additionally (but not necessarily) connect an antenna module. It is usually not supplied with the router, so it must be purchased separately. But the pigtail to connect the antenna micro-connector of the router to the antenna connector can be supplied. Usually it is a standardized adapter MS-156.

Producers may use TS9 and CRC9 antenna connectors in routers that have different diameters. So be careful when buying the pigtail if it is not included in the kit.

Also included in the kit is an adapter for connection to the on-board network. Basically it is an adapter with a standard cigarette lighter plug.

High speed 4G Internet connection in a car

Contact KIBERCAR to have a stable Internet connection in your car no matter where you are! The high-speed modem works even in areas with poor cellular network coverage. Internet access – not only for the driver, but also for all passengers.

Good signal strength at speeds of up to 200 km/h

High speed internet is a prerequisite for the operation of many programs and applications. If you want to stay always connected, we suggest installing a modem designed for continuous driving at speeds of up to 200 km/h. Compared to other ways of connection it has a number of advantages:

1. High speed. Connection to the network is up to 150 MBit/sec. This is enough to communicate in messengers, use a navigator or watch videos in decent quality.
2. There is no binding in the mobile operator’s coverage area. This problem is familiar to those who are used to using a smartphone as an access point. The modem provides the same 4g Internet, but without reference to the operator: it uses the power of several networks, switching between them depending on the quality of coverage.
3. No need to set up the connection every time. The high-speed modem is always in your car. There is no need to plug it in every time, go through the settings – it’s enough to do it once.

Another important advantage is that there is no limit on the number of users that can connect to the network. Using a high-speed modem is Wi-Fi in the car, designed for the driver and passengers, even if each of them has several gadgets.

The modem also comes in handy when you are not in the car. It can be used for operation of the video recorder and parking cameras. So you’ll always be aware of what’s happening inside and outside your car.

The modem is designed to be used inside the car. It has a water-resistant and shock-proof housing, protected from the effects of constant shaking and possible mechanical damage. The device occupies little space in the cabin and blends harmoniously with the interior.
