4g modem megafon turbo black m150 2. Instructions for those who find it easier to perceive information in the form of video

Throughout the year, telecom operators without extra words released on sale updated modems with a fresh blocking algorithm to replace old devices. But this time, something clicked in the dark depths of the skull of marketers and they together decided to leave the old names of modems, but sell completely new devices under them. Thus, they created not a slight confusion and now (end of 2015) the following models are presented on the modem market:

Megaphone:
  • Megaphone M150-2(Huawei E3372 S
  • Megaphone M150-2(Huawei E3372 H) - 4G modem, model 2015. Easy to distinguish from old model on serial number(S / N): new modem starts with symbols G4P ...;
MTS:
  • MTS 827F(Huawei E3372 S) - 4G modem, model 2014;
  • MTS 827F(Huawei E3372 H) - 4G modem, model 2015. It also differs from the old model by the serial number (S / N): for the new modem it starts with symbols G4P ...;

Despite similar names, even the original modems Huawei(differ only in the letters S and H) in fact, this is completely different devices with incompatible firmware.

Attention! A feature of the firmware of the MegaFon M150-2 modem starting from version 21.315.01.00.143 and higher is that even the transitional firmware does not fit on them. You can unblock such modems only using the "needle method" (instructions from the MTS modem, but all actions are absolutely the same).

Unlocking by means of a needle

Now, after clarifying all the formalities, you can start unlocking.

Unlocking instructions

  1. Download the archive with the Huawei Code Reader 2015 program and unzip it to a place convenient for you.
  2. Connect your modem via USB. Usually, when you connect a device to a PC, you have a separate CDROM section that contains the device setup program.
  3. Install the supplied drivers that came with your device.
  4. If you have your modem software running to connect to the Internet, please disable it before launching Huawei code reader 2015.
  5. Launch Huawei code reader 2015 and click the button "1. Read data" as shown in the picture.

  6. As a result, the drop-down list of COM ports in the program will be filled with devices. You will select the COM port manually. If, as a result of these actions, no devices appear in the list, then the drivers for the modem ( Wi-Fi router a) not installed or installed incorrectly. If you did everything correctly, the following information will appear in the program log window:

    Found device:
    Model: MegaFon M150-2
    IMEI: 866119028147453
    S / N: G4PDW15820006031

    Date / time of software compilation: Jun 10 2015, 19:51:41
    SIM lock: Locked
    Attempts to enter NCK left: 10

    In the example above, we see that our MegaFon M150-2 modem is blocked and the number of remaining attempts to enter the unlock code is 10. For the function of determining the modem blocking to work correctly, a third-party operator's SIM card must be inserted into it.

    If all attempts to enter the unlock code have been used up, it is not possible to unlock such a modem with a code. Please note if there are any attempts to enter the unlock code in your modem.

    If Huawei Code Reader 2015 does not find the modem, then check the firmware version of the modem in the settings of its control panel (connection manager).
    A feature of the Megafon M150-2 modem's firmware on 21.200.07.01.209 is that it blocks the execution of most AT commands, including reading / writing memory. Therefore, in order to read the data and unlock the modem, it must be changed to another firmware.

    Flashing instructions

    1. Stop the protection completely for the duration of the stitching actions. antivirus software, and if there is Kaspersky, then it is better to remove it altogether for this time.
    2. Close all programs that might be using the ports on the modem.
    3. Remove the modem from the USB port of the computer.
    4. Remove (uninstall) the connection manager from the computer.
    5. Install the driver
    6. Plug the modem into a USB port on your computer.
    7. Install the transitional firmware
      During the flashing process, the installer will ask you for a password for flashing (flash code). It is calculated by the IMEI number of the modem and you can calculate it by the link
    8. Then put the modified
    9. Optionally, stitch the universal

    If you also failed to flash, then there is one more universal way unlocking - "needle method". Read this manual for the MTS 829F modem. It is completely suitable for the MegaFon M150-2 modem, since in fact, it is one and the same device - Huawei E3372H. Follow all the steps exactly as instructed and the unlock will be canceled.

  7. After successfully reading the information about the modem, if the service blocks Hash1 and Hash2 are filled with you, you can start processing the information received by clicking on the button "2. Calculate Encrypted Block"... The data processing process can take from 2 to 20-30 minutes, depending on the performance of your computer. If everything went well, then the Encrypted Block field should be filled with characters, as shown in the screenshot.

Super! good 02/21/2020 20:11:41 Thanks, everything worked out. Was MTS became A1 good 02/20/2020 4:19:50 PM I apologize. I left a bad review. I blunt myself. I didn’t figure it out. Everything worked out. The goods are excellent. good 09.02.2020 16:03:00 Everything is fine, I received the goods quickly and without any problems !!! good 08.02. NSC you have a very excellent service, everything is good for you

We live in a private house, there is no way to have a wired internet connection. Therefore, as soon as we purchased a computer, the question immediately arose about buying a USB modem. Our first purchase, an MTS modem, turned out to be unsuccessful, and after some time we decided to change it to Megafon.

Why did we choose this particular provider? It's just that my husband and I have been using his services for a long time as a mobile operator, and Mobile Internet Megaphone is very good. In general, we bought a modem called Megafon Turbo M150-2. As we were told in the cellular salon, this is the newest and most modern megaphone modem.

How much did this device cost? It should be noted that we bought everything at once in a set. Separately, both the modem and the SIM card will cost more than 1000 rubles, and everything in the kit cost us 800 rubles, of which the price of the modem itself is only 1 ruble) Great!

Here is a photo of the check.

The device was packed in a cardboard box. The modem itself is drawn on it, how it will look in reality. It has a removable cap and an indicator light. It is possible to insert not only a SIM card into the modem, but also a memory card.


Of course, the box contains detailed instructions, which describes in detail how to connect a modem, how to insert a SIM card and memory card.


The modem is connected to the computer, and during operation, the indicator light on it lights up, which changes colors depending on the mode. There are only three modes:

  1. 2G - green indicator light
  2. 3G - blue indicator color
  3. 4G - blue indicator color

I have it lit blue, respectively, the mode should be 4G, but nothing like that. I set the mode to 3G, they do not automatically switch (why, more on that later). Therefore, to be honest, I do not understand the blue light. The modem lights up in blue extremely rarely, mainly at the very beginning of work. And the green light is fully consistent with its 2G mode.


When connecting the modem, you need to download the Megafon program. It does not take much time, maximum five minutes. After that, the program will turn on automatically every time the computer is turned on, if a modem is connected to it. But since I do not pull out the modem, it is very convenient for me.

In the upper right corner of the screen, you can always see the Internet speed, and the account balance is indicated there. I have a 3G mode, this is also displayed there. The program is very convenient, it can be minimized so as not to interfere with your work. Most importantly, do not forget to turn it off after completing the work.


The program is very convenient, and I was also surprised that the modes do not switch automatically, but you can configure them manually. I have 3G mode. You can choose 4G, but I just don't need it, the speed is already enough. The 2G mode is also not useless, but you can't watch videos with it, so I don't use it. There is also an automatic selection of modes, but alas, with it, the Internet constantly disappears as soon as the modes change from one to another.


I am very pleased with the speed of the Megafon Turbo modem. Pages open instantly, the video loads very quickly and does not freeze while watching. Never before has the Internet been lost for no reason. These were the pluses, and now I'm moving on to the minuses.

Unfortunately, unlimited tariffs Megafon no longer has, so after some deliberation, we took a tariff for 40 GB, of which 20 can be used during the day, 20 at night. But it only seems that 20 GB during the day is a lot, but in fact this is only enough for social networks... This is quite enough for me to work on the Internet, but if I watch movies regularly, the traffic quickly ends, and it is not enough for a month.

Therefore, films have to be watched at night, but this is also not very pleasant, because at Megafon the night begins not from 0 o'clock, as expected, but from 1 o'clock. Therefore, I will think before I go to bed for so long to watch a movie. In this regard, there is very little sense from night traffic, I only use it on weekends, which means very rarely.

In the Megafon program, you can see the amount of used traffic, but alas, the total amount of day and night traffic is shown, and it’s impossible to figure out exactly how much of the day was spent and how much of the night. Therefore, saving usually does not work, and the traffic ends unexpectedly. It can be extended only for money, and the payment of a monthly fee for a month in advance is meant only on a specially designated date.

Summing up, I want to say that I am very pleased with the Megafon Turbo M150-2 USB modem, despite even its small flaws. So far, of all the modems that I have tested, it is the fastest and most reliable, and by the way, you can choose any tariff for it, Megafon has several of them with different amounts of GB per month. And as for unlimited, it is nowhere else.

The modem turned out to be much worse in quality, speed and higher in price.

In the modern domestic market, modems from the MegaFon company are considered one of the best. Thanks to them, the user gets wireless access to the Internet, and the Megafon modem operates at high speed. This 4G turbo internet speed is enough for the simultaneous use of several devices: a computer and a tablet, a TV and a laptop.

If you want to connect several devices to one modem at the same time, you will need to use a Wi-Fi router. Typically, potential buyer, in this case, a reasonable question arises: which router is best suited for the Megafon 4G turbo modem? To get an answer to this question, you will need to go to the router website and familiarize yourself with the presented to different models documentation, which will indicate whether this router supports your Megafon modem model.

You can visit the following router sites: Tp-Link, D-link, Zyxel and many others. Using the example of several models of the 4g turbo megaphone modem, we will consider how you can carry out the firmware on your own, without resorting to outside help.

Firmware Megaphone М150-1 (Huawei 3276) Turbo

For the firmware, we need to sequentially perform the following steps:

  • Initially, we flash the router. Fresh firmware for routers can be found on the manufacturers website, for example, D-link - http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/; Tp-Link - http://www.tp-linkru.com/support/download/; ZyXel - http://zyxel.ru/support/download, or google Let's make the firmware using an example router TP-LINK MR3220.
  • To carry out the firmware, we need to get to the router's web interface. To do this, you will need to connect network cable to a laptop or PC and any "LAN" port of the router. This cable is always included in the kit. We draw your attention to the fact that in no case carry out the firmware by connecting the device via a Wi-Fi network.
  • The next step is to turn on the power of the router (there is a power button on the back of the device).
  • On a laptop or PC, we set up automatic receipt network settings... To do this, go to the "Network Control Center and general access», Click on an active local area network connection, select connection properties. In the window that opens, select "Internet Protocol version 4" (TCP / IPv4), in some cases you may need to select version 6 (TCP / IPv6), open its properties, and in the properties select: obtaining an IP address and obtaining a DNS server address - automatically.
  • Open the browser on your device (it doesn't matter which one you open, it can be IE or Opera, Chrome and others). Introduce in address bar the following numbers: 192.168.0.1 A window will open on the monitor where you will need to enter your login and password. And there, and there, if nothing changed, enter "admin". After entering, we will be redirected to the router control page. On this page, you will see the lines "Firmvare Version", "Hardware Version". You can see the same information on the sticker of your router.
  • We go to the TP-LINK website and select the version of the equipment we need. In our case, it will be V2 ( http://www.tp-linkru.com/products/details/?model=TL-MR3220#/download).
  • Download the firmware update. After downloading, you will need to unzip it.
  • In the web interface of the router, go to System Tools and then to Firmware Update. Being in the last section (Firmware update), click the "Browse" button and indicate the path to the unzipped firmware. Its extension must be "bin". Next, click on the "Upgrade" button. A window with a proposal to update the firmware will appear in front of you. Accordingly, here we click on the "OK" button. The router will install the firmware and reboot.
  • Next, we connect our modem, go to the "Device Manager" Here we select the LPT and COM ports and look at the line called "Huawei ... ..". This line will be our port, you need to remember it.
  • Close the "Dashboard" - this is the program that controls the modem by default (usually starts automatically when the modem is connected). After a while, she will leave the processes.
  • Then you need to start the program "Huawei Modem Terminal".
  • After starting the program, select the port we need and click "Connect".
  • To check whether our modem is connected after the firmware of the router or not, enter "AT" and press the "ENTER" button. If the modem answers "OK", then you did everything correctly.
  • Next, we need to switch our modem into a mode called "only modem". If you do not do this, then when you connect, the card reader and virtual "CD-ROM" will start immediately.
  • To do this, we need to enter the command: AT ^ SETPORT = "A1, A2; 1,2,3" .
  • After entering the command, you must reboot the device. To do this, enter the command AT + CFUN = 1 .
  • The last step is to unplug the modem from the computer and insert it into the router.
  • The modem and router are now fully operational.

The whole procedure for flashing Megafon 4g turbo takes no more than 5 minutes. During installation, the router will automatically reboot. When it boots up again, in the "Status" window you will see the already updated firmware version.

The second decade of the XXI century was marked by the appearance on the telecommunications market of new devices designed to connect users to The world wide web... They are modems of operators mobile networks providing their equipment for the distribution of the Internet signal. Such modems very quickly occupied their niche in the consumer market, their popularity is growing rapidly due to their compactness and the absence of a rigid connection to access points. In the past, there are 2G modems that made it possible to transmit video and sound, and 4G modems are already replacing 3G devices that provide a higher data transfer rate. They work on principle new technology and allow using the networks of mobile operators to connect to the Internet in places where there is a signal coverage area from base stations. 4G signal transmission over mobile networks provides a stable connection and high speed of information transfer, which is not inferior to wireless connection via Wi-Fi.

Lineup of 4G USB-modems offered by Megafon

USB-modems made using 4G technology and offered on the consumer market by Megafon are considered among similar devices to be one of the fastest. Along with other mobile network operators, the company uses government-approved Russian Federation frequency range for Internet access. The difference is that Megafon transmits a signal in the 2.6 GHz frequency range and uses a wider bandwidth - 40 MHz, which is four orders of magnitude higher than the parameters of other mobile operators. This allows you to significantly outstrip the closest competitors in terms of the speed of information transfer in the network. Another advantage of the company's 4G network is a fairly large number of base stations operating in 83 regions of Russia. According to this parameter, Megafon is second only to the market leader - the mobile operator MTS.

Megafon was the first in Russia to start using LTE base stations in mobile networks, modified to operate using 4G technology and a new wireless standard high speed transmission information. The company has about 28,000 stations, which is only two thousand less than its closest competitor.

Currently Megafon offers two types of 4G modems developed and manufactured by the Chinese company Huawei Technologies:

It should be borne in mind that the principle of operation of the MegaFon Turbo modem differs significantly from a Wi-Fi router from Megafon. Having the same technical parameters, the Wi-Fi modem can receive the Internet signal from wireless network only when connected to a computer or laptop, and the router, due to the built-in battery, works autonomously for six hours.

Appearance and equipment of 4G USB modems

By appearance and packaging both modems from "Megafon" differ little from each other.

The set of each of them on sale includes:


The cost of the devices ranges from 2590 rubles to 2899 rubles. 4G USB modems are implemented in two ways:


The technical parameters of 4G USB-modems, declared by Megafon, correspond to the operation of the devices in ideal conditions. In each specific case the speed of receiving and transmitting information depends on:

  • 4G signal coverage areas in the region;
  • proximity to the base station;
  • the presence of natural obstacles in the path of the radio signal;
  • base station transmitter power;
  • tariff plan.

How to get the fastest 4G USB tethering speed

When working with 4G USB modems, users may encounter various problems. The most annoying ones include the complete loss of signal from LTE base stations and frequent disconnection. established connection with the internet. Especially often, these problems arise if the walls of the building are built of reinforced concrete blocks, and the building itself is in the lowlands. In this case, the metal reinforcement creates a reflective screen and interferes with the transmission of the radio signal. In addition, interference from natural obstacles is added to the shielding of the radio signal due to the reinforced concrete walls. All this is amplified at a fairly large distance from the transmitting antenna of the base station. Most in an efficient way signal amplification in this case becomes the connection of the 4G modem to the computer via a USB extension cable. The extension cable also acts as an antenna and increases the power of the received Internet signal, which leads to an increase in the speed and stability of the connection. After connecting through an extension cord, you need to position the modem as high as possible, as long as the cable length is enough, or install the device outside the window.

There are several ways to configure the maximum speed of reception and transmission of 4G USB modem information over the Internet:

  1. Use a USB extension cable and place the 4G modem at the top of the room. This will improve the reception of common radio waves and increase the connection speed.

    Connect the 4G modem to the computer via a USB extension cable and install it at the highest point of the room

  2. Apply a homemade resonator antenna by placing a 4G modem in its circuit. To do this, you can use metal utensils, cans, and even unnecessary DVDs. The antenna will serve as a reflector of the radio signal, which will lead to its amplification and, accordingly, to an increase in the speed of the modem.

    Place the 4G modem in front of the reflective surface of the resonator antenna

  3. Apply Kharchenko's antenna by connecting it to the antenna connector of the modem. If there is no antenna connector, you just need to wrap the wire around the modem. This will create a guidance loop that will amplify the Internet signal and increase the speed of receiving and transmitting information.

    Connect 4G modem with Kharchenko antenna

  4. Connect 4G modem to the USB port of the router, if there is one. The amplifying circuit of the router and the Internet signal from the wired network will be additionally involved, which will significantly increase the speed of the 4G modem.

    Connect 4G modem to the USB port of the router

  5. Clear startup from all torrent programs.
  6. Prevent the joint launch of web browsers and torrent programs, especially at a time when information is being distributed.
  7. Remove in web browser settings automatic start unnecessary add-ons like JavaScript and similar.

    Disable unnecessary browser add-ons

The greatest effect in achieving maximum speed is observed when a 4G modem is connected via a USB extension cable.

Possible problems and errors

The main problem that may appear during the operation of a 4G USB modem from the Megafon company is the lack of a signal from the base station. To fix this problem, you can use the following methods:

  1. Check the coverage area of ​​the 4G network by the base stations of the Megafon operator on the map and, if they are absent, set the modem to the 3G standard. To do this, on the official website of the company "Megafon" go to the tabs "Support" - "Communication shops and coverage map" - "Coverage map".

    Check the coverage area and tune the modem to the current communication standard

  2. Disconnect the 4G modem from the USB port of the computer and reconnect it.
  3. Close the Megafon Modem application and open it again.

    Close the Megafon Modem application and open it again

  4. Call the support service at 8-800-550-05-00 and consult with specialists.

An unauthorized disconnection of the Internet connection may occur immediately after the connection. The main reasons for this problem are:

  1. Not enough Money on the user's balance. In this case, you need to check and top up your balance.

    Click on the "Balance" button and check the status of the account

  2. Low internet signal. Eliminated by the methods indicated in the previous section of this article.

Video: troubleshooting 4G modem connection errors

From personal experience I can advise you to use a regular TV antenna to amplify the Internet signal. To do this, using copper wire, you need to connect to the central core antenna cable, and insert the other end of the wire into the antenna connector of the modem. This method is good enough, but less effective than the extension cable method. The greatest effect is achieved if the receiving device television antenna made of material with a wide reflective surface. This can be a metal spacer or a cobweb-shaped tube antenna. If a factory-made TV antenna does not have reflective properties, then the efficiency of receiving an Internet signal increases by no more than 15-20 percent. When installing an additional antenna amplifier, the processing speed of the signal from the base stations increases by 2 times. This method has proven its effectiveness when working with low-power tablets and in cases where the transmitting antenna of the base station is at a great distance, and the power of the built-in antenna of the tablet is not enough for reliable reception of the Internet signal. The use of a resonator antenna, despite all the recommendations, practically does not give the desired result. Signal using such homemade device can be amplified only if the distance to the base station does not exceed one kilometer and there are no natural obstacles in the path of radio signal propagation.
