Today there are 3 modem models: LU150, LU156 and Swift (WLTUBA-107). There are no fundamental differences between the LU150 and LU156, except that the Swift has a removable SIM card and has grown slightly in size compared to the LU150/LU156.
Exploitation
- When using a USB extension cable, the modem may not have enough power, which may cause the device to disconnect (and not connect until the modem is physically reconnected). If this happens, then you need to use either a shorter extension cord or purchase an extension cord with additional power. I think that if you use an extension cord about 1-2 meters long there should be no problems.
- Despite the operating temperature range, you need to remember that the modem gets quite hot. At high humidity, this can cause condensation to form, which is extremely harmful to the device (like any other moisture).
- When the first signal indicator (SINR) drops to zero (or lower), the device can go into standby mode. If this happens, you need to improve the signal, for example by moving the device to a window. The signal indicators at which the Internet from YOTA works stably must be no lower than 2/-110 (SINR/RSRP).
- The YOTA (Yota Access) application, which we are offered to download on the modem’s WEB interface, is not necessary for it to work. It simply visually displays the modem connection status, current connection conditions, and contains statistics similar to those displayed on http://10.0.0.1/ (http://status.yota.ru/).
- The indicator on the modem (YOTA company logo) glows blue when the modem is connected to the LTE network.
YOTA modem - drivers
- for Windows XP (Win2000/WinNT), ActiveSync is suitable as a driver for the YOTA Modem - this program contains the RNDIS drivers necessary for the modem to operate;
- for Windows Vista/7/8, Windows Mobile Device Center (analogous to ActiveSync) is suitable as a driver for the YOTA modem.
- I have three different versions of drivers pulled from the modem when it was first connected to a computer with WinXP.
On Win XP/Win7, I was never able to overcome the problem that many users experienced back in 2012:
“The Yota LU150 USB Modem does not connect to the Internet in Windows 7 and the icon in the YOTA Access program does not turn blue. The Yota Access program displays the message: “Connect the modem,” although it is already connected and the LED on the modem glows continuously.”
Dancing with tambourines and drivers did not give any real results. The Internet appeared every once in a while when I turned on the computer. It has been experimentally established that if the modem is identified in the device manager as an unidentified USB device, you can get a working Internet (either manually or using the utility
Drivers for yota 4g lte are necessary software, without which the modem will not be able to function normally on the connected device, which will make it impossible to use the Internet.
What is a driver?
- full operation on devices running different operating systems;
- enabling and using additional device functions;
- uninterrupted operation of the modem, which will ensure maximum quality of Internet access.
For example, if you purchased an adapter for distributing wi-fi, but the drivers were installed incorrectly or are not there at all, the created network will not be available for connection by devices.
A correctly installed driver for yota 4g for xp or a newer version of Windows will allow you to use the full set of device functions, as well as change additional settings.
Where to get drivers and what to do if the device is not recognized by the PC?
The driver for yota 4g lte for xp will be suitable from the list of basic drivers already present in the system immediately after installation. This only applies to SP3 and newer versions of Windows.
If the modem was connected, but does not work, you need to look at how the operating system detected it. This is done in Device Manager. Modem yota 4g lte xp driver is displayed in “Network Cards”, and on newer versions of the operating system – in “Network Cards”. There should not be an exclamation mark next to the name - this indicates that the modem itself is not working or the drivers are installed incorrectly. 
If the modem does not appear in the desired section:
- Download ActiveSync - the application contains a list of necessary drivers for full operation of the device on XP.
- For versions of Windows after XP, you can install Windows Mobile Device Center.
For other operating systems (if you have the latest, current version), there is no need to install drivers - they must be in the basic package.
How to install drivers for the modem?
If a non-original operating system was installed on the device, it is likely that the yota 4g lte modem driver for xp will not work. Often, assembly authors cut out drivers, trying to reduce the weight of the installer.
In this case, you need to use the search and find the required driver. Its installation proceeds as follows:
In most cases, there are no problems with drivers for yota modems. When connecting it, just wait until the system completes the settings and start using it.
Modem WLTUBA-107(formerly LU150, LU156, also known as Yota LTE) can be connected to a computer or router via a regular USB connector, or via an extension cable via a mini-USB connector. The difference between the LU150 / LU156 modems and the WLTUBA-107 is the presence of a SIM card slot in the latter. In older modems, authorization was performed by ID without a SIM card.
The WLTUBA-107 modem can connect not only to computers and routers, but also to set-top boxes, network hard drives, navigators, game consoles and other devices that support CDC. In fact, the LU150 modem is a router with “forwarding” of all ports. Therefore, the computer “sees” it as a regular virtual Ethernet interface and does not require additional drivers.
Like the Yota One modem, the new WLTUBA-107 modem connects to computers and other devices that support CDC (Communication Device Class) technology; for Windows systems this technology has a different name - RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification).
To improve Yota signal reception using the WLTUBA-107 (LU150 / LU156) modem, we also recommend using a Connect 2.0 Internet signal amplifier.

A modem from a company like Yota is one of the most common devices in the CIS for connecting to an Internet resource. This Internet is presented from a well-known company in the form of a modem. It is not at all surprising that in order to use a resource, you first need to connect and install it.
In total, there are many ways to use the Yota Internet, but in this article we will look at using it on a computer. We will also take a closer look at the drivers for Yota Windows 7.
Method of using Yota Internet on a computer device
As we wrote earlier, in order to use this device, it must be connected in accordance with all standards. But first of all, you need to know that this computer operating system does not support modems and other devices from other well-known companies. Therefore, it is likely that a small problem will arise. Such problems typically occur if SP 2 is present on the operating system. 
The main task in this case is to download Yota drivers for Windows 7 to your computer. After direct downloading, you need to make sure in one way or another that the Yota driver for Windows 7 is a licensed program and does not contain any negative viruses. You can check this if you are sure that the file was downloaded from the official distributor. This needs to be checked first. After you make sure that your driver has acceptable standards, you need to install the entire system. Read further in the article for a detailed description of the installation steps. 
Installation steps
- The first step is a fairly simple step, namely downloading the file itself. But even at this stage it is necessary to be extremely careful and attentive. The file must be downloaded exclusively to your hard drive. If you use common browsers such as Opera or Chrome, the file will automatically appear in a folder called “Downloads”;
- After downloading directly, you need to find the Yota driver for Windows 7 and run it with administrator rights. In order to launch in this way, you need to right-click on the file itself and select a method;
- Undoubtedly, absolutely every file has loading stages and the driver for Yota Windows 7 is no exception. You will need to select the settings that suit you and will be provided to you during the actual extraction of the file;
- Next, you need to restart your computer and the Yota driver for Windows 7 will be successfully installed.
The same method applies to the Yota driver for Windows 7.
A universal and easy-to-use program for the Yota modem is an opportunity to monitor your account and all services provided by the operator. To download the iota application for a computer, no special knowledge or skills are required.
The provider's application is constantly being improved, adding new functionality to the interface. New functions already allow you to control traffic, regulate your tariff plan, and even create your own. When you start the program, the availability of the network, the traffic used, the connection speed, the IP address used and other parameters are immediately displayed.
Settings allow you to set the following parameters:
- language (English or Russian);
- automatic or manual connection to the network;
- automatic start when PC is turned on;
- interface tone for better display.
Download the Eta application on your computer and laptop under Windows 7 or Windows 10
To download the iota application to your computer, you can use various sources. The global Internet offers hundreds and thousands of options for downloading yota 4g lte to your computer, mobile phone or tablet. A separate version of the program is used for each operating system.
It is important to use the original installation file. Please note that this version for PC is distributed free of charge, therefore, it is best to download from the official website. Only the official website provides the ability to install the latest developed version of the program. At the same time, this choice will eliminate the possibility of downloading viruses along with the installation file.
Installation process
After downloading, there is a simple installation procedure that may require a few steps.
- Connecting the device. Connect the modem exactly when the installation procedure requires it.
- OS device detection. If the device is not detected, try using a different USB port.
- Closing applications. Close all applications during installation.
- Update. Be sure to follow this procedure to obtain the latest version of the program.
- Reboot. During reboot, disconnect the modem from the PC.
If the installation file was downloaded from a third-party resource, it is important to check the development version and availability of updates. To do this, you must select the appropriate menu item in the “Information” tab.
If problems are detected in the operation of one of the functions or the connection to the modem network, you must perform the following actions:
- check the functionality of the USB port by connecting the device to another connector;
- check that OS parameters comply with developer requirements;
- Check the operation of the modem on other PCs.
If none of these options restore communication with the modem or control of its functions, you should contact customer service. To communicate, you can use the operator’s contact information or the application itself.
Please note that for correct operation of the device and high-quality management of its functions, it is necessary to exit and restart the computer after installation. After the reboot, you can connect the modem and launch yota.
Main features of the Eta program for PC
When installing yota on Windows of any of the existing versions, the user receives several advantages at once, which are provided through the functionality of the provider’s development. That is, you can download the eta application for free to perform the following settings and accounting:
