Mobile Internet - This is not only Facebook, YouTube, maps, jokes and other entertainment, but sometimes work. Because often, smartphones and tablets with their small screens, virtual buttons and toy applications do not cope. Requires a laptop, with a real keyboard, full-featured working programs and a normal display. But if the smartphone has access to the Network by default, then laptops are not so smooth. And if you really need, what to do?

Of course, the options were, are and will be. In general, further briefly about such useful inventions in our time, as external USB-modems, Mi-Fi and tethering.

Today, even children know that at home there is also wireless Internet, it is called Wi-Fi, and you can connect laptops and tablets to it, and more recently, refrigerators with coffee makers. But it is at home. And how to set up access to the network from the laptop, if you’re far from home, and the Internet is needed right now?

Let's start with the fact that some models of mobile PCs, i.e. Notebooks, ultra-, Mac- and other -books are also equipped with wireless communication modules. Simply put, in this laptop, too, there is a slot for ordinary SIM-cards. You insert a SIM card and connect to the 3G Internet (or even 4G LTE) of the nearest operator - everything is simple. But only this option is found, as a rule, only with expensive laptops, or with the so-called ultra mobile - small, light, but not quite convenient for comfortable work. Simple laptops are not bundled with 3G and 4G modules. But, again, this does not mean that, if necessary, your own, say, new Lenovo cannot be equipped with these utilities (by the way, more on Lenovo Lenovo Kiev laptops).

So, choose:

External usb modem
  ... - this is also a wireless communication module and also with a slot for a SIM, but it is made in the form of standard sized flash drives and connects to a USB port of a computer, even though a mobile one, even a desktop one. Such devices are sold freely in domestic retail, including in the shops of the operating companies mobile communications. External USB modems are relatively inexpensive, promotions are also regularly held on them, they are connected very simply and quickly, so the user can only choose an acceptable tariff plan and get acquainted with the manual.

Mi-fi
  This solution is very useful in situations where there is a need to organize your own local WiFi-network with connection to it at once mobile devicesincluding and laptops. In fact, Mi-Fi is something like an external modem, but such devices are able to work autonomously, in the sense without a USB connection. By the way, we have Mi-Fi technology for most mobile users known for a long time. Ask around with friends, surely someone has a portable wireless router or mobile hot spot. So he is the Mi-Fi. Yuzayut such devices now everywhere. And with laptops, and tablets, and with smartphones. Such routers are convenient, they are also connected and configured easily. We select the tariff plan and get the mobile Internet for your laptop.

Tetering
  The term, of course, sounds mysterious, however, there is nothing complicated here either. Tethering is when the role of an external modem for a laptop is played by a smartphone and / or tablet equipped with a 3G or 4G communication module. To use the smartphone as a hotspot for the laptop, I mean the same wireless router, you must first select a model, the functionality of which provides such an option (not all smartphones have one), and connect it to the laptop. It is possible through USB, it is possible through Bluetooth. Next, we also select the tariff and do not forget to monitor the battery charge level.

Many people have internet at home today. It can be the Internet through a telephone line, via fiber, wireless Internet  via a mobile operator or even satellite Internet. Many people prefer wireless Internet at home, so as not to pull extra wires and you could connect from any device to the global network. However, not everyone knows how to connect wireless internet on their own.

Consider this question in more detail.

Wireless Internet connection

Wireless Internet can be divided into several types

  • Internet via ADSL router or via router from fiber;
  • Wireless Internet from mobile providers.

Consider each view in more detail.

Wireless Internet via regular router

If you already have a regular Internet at home through fiber optics or a telephone line, then you can buy a router to it, through which you can create wireless network  Wi-Fi. For this you need:

  1. Buy a router suitable for your internet. If you have a connection via a telephone line, then you need to buy an ADSL router. If via fiber, you need a regular router with a WAN-input under the fiber connector. In this case, the router should be selected based on the signal strength and coverage area.
  2. Connect the wire from the Internet to the router and plug it into a power outlet.
  3. Connect the computer to the router through the wire to the LAN connector.
  4. Go to any browser on your computer and type in the address bar ip-address of the router, which is specified in the documentation.
  5. In the window that opens, enter the login and password from the settings of the router, which are also indicated in the documentation. Usually login and password - the word "admin".
  6. In the settings of the router, drive the data of the provider and change the name and password of the Wi-Fi wireless network so that the neighbors cannot connect to your wireless network, waste traffic and clog the channel while downloading heavy files.
  7. Save all new settings and restart the router.
  8. Connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network from any device to test performance.

If you did everything right, then wireless will appear in the house. wi-Fi networkwhich can be used.

Wireless Internet from a mobile operator

Mobile operators also provide wireless access  to the mobile Internet using a special modem and router. In order to connect wireless mobile Internet to your laptop, you need to purchase a special usb modem and Internet tariff in the cellular salon of the selected operator. After that, simply connect to the computer and wait for the laptop to automatically install the desired program  for using mobile internet.

If you purchased a Wi-Fi router in the cellular salon, then it makes sense to connect it to your laptop only if you set up a wireless Wi-Fi network. The configuration takes place on the same principle as in the previous section with a regular router.
