How to distribute Wi-Fi Internet from a router on Yota
The easiest and most expensive way is to purchase a wi-fi router or modem that can distribute traffic and an operator SIM card for individuals with a “for computer” tariff. The operator does not set any special restrictions on this tariff; the data transfer speed will be determined by the technical capabilities in the region.
The same tariff for legal entities has restrictions on speed (but not on traffic volume):
- The speed to the router (modem or router) will be up to 20 Mbit/s;
- The speed from the router will be up to 8 Mbit/s.
- The cost of connection within one region is the same for both private and corporate clients.
Distributing wifi internet Yota (Yota) from your phone
In this case, it all depends on the tariff:
How to distribute wifi internet with Yota “for a tablet”
The “tablet” tariff is available only to private clients, and the operator sets a limitation: when distributing, the speed is cut to 128 Kbps. 
But all these restrictions do not prevent subscribers from looking for workarounds.
How to distribute wifi internet from Yota without restrictions
The operator strictly divides tariffs according to the type of device for which they are intended, and includes restrictions in case of violation of the terms of use. To determine which device uses a SIM card (phone, tablet or modem), the operator uses:
Yota subscribers change this data in order to distribute traffic without restrictions.
To be able to distribute traffic, you need to change the TTL on the distribution device; this can be done manually or using a special application. If a subscriber wants to distribute gigabytes from a device for which the SIM card is not intended, then the IMEI of the device will need to be additionally changed.
Most often, owners of SIM cards “for smartphones” with unlimited change the unique device number - these are those who connected before January 2017 and corporate subscribers. The method is to change the unique number of the tablet or modem to the IMEI of the smartphone (preferably on Windows Phone). 
You must understand that these methods violate the terms of the contract concluded with the operator and are carried out by the subscriber at his own peril and risk.
Many people, when purchasing a modem with a built-in Wi-Fi module, ask themselves the question: how to distribute the Internet? We have answered this question.

Many Yota customers are wondering how to distribute Wi-fi from a Yota modem? We will examine this question in this article.
general information
To begin with, it’s worth saying that there are Wi-Fi routers that have the ability to connect a USB modem to them. Thus, they can distribute the Internet from a modem. This option is the most acceptable in every sense. The router consumes less electricity and thanks to this solution you don’t have to keep the computer on all the time.
But not everyone has the opportunity to purchase a router that has a port for connecting a modem. In such a situation, you will distribute the Internet through a computer or tablet. If you have a tablet with an Android system, then everything is simple - connect a USB modem and enable Wi-fi distribution in the settings. But such an operation is not possible with every device, since it must support OTG technology and work with external modems.
How to organize a distribution?
First you need to set up a virtual wireless network. There are two ways how this can be done:
- Setup via command line
- Using Virtual Router Plus
Looking ahead a little, it’s worth saying that this is essentially one method, since the second one configures the command line, only in this case it will work automatically. That is, you don’t have to assign commands and configure shared access. The program will do everything itself. All you have to do is set the parameters.
Setting up distribution via the command line
To run the command line with administrator rights:
- Go to the Start menu
- In the search bar and enter CMD in it
- In the cut out CMD results left click
- Select run as administrator
- netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=My_virtual_WiFi key=12345678 keyUsage=persistent– the command installs the driver and creates a virtual Wi-fi adapter. Here SSID is the name of your network, KEY is the access password. These parameters can be entered as you like, but they must consist of Latin letters and numbers. In other words, instead of " My_virtual_Wi-Fi"You need to write any name you like. And instead "12345678» enter any numbers
- Netsh wlan start hostednetwork– using this command you will enable the network. If instead of the word start you enter the word stop, the network will stop working
Setting up sharing
- After setting up and turning on the network for the first time, you can configure sharing:
- In the program tray, find the Wi-fi icon and click on it. You need a line for setting up networks and sharing
- When the window opens, click on change advanced sharing settings. Here, check all the boxes to enable them, except for password protection. It needs to be turned off
- Return to the main page for managing your networks and again go to the section for changing adapter settings
- Here you will see one active connection. It will be called Yota or Local Network. Depending on the configuration of your computer, it may have a different name.
- Right-click on the icon and select “Properties”
- Now you need to find the “Access” tab
- Next, give permission so that other users can use the network
- In the “Home network connection” tab, click on the desired connection
- Now save the entered parameters and you will receive a full Yota distribution via Wi-fi
Configuration via Virtual Router Plus program
Yota 4G LTE - setting up Wi-fi distribution
Download this program and install it. Here you need to set the following parameters:
- Network name
- Password
- And also indicate which connection will be active
Basically, the last parameter is determined automatically. That is, when connecting to the Yota network using a USB modem, the program will see this connection and begin to use it as an active one. By the way, she doesn’t always manage to do this. In this situation, updating the firmware will help.

Mobile operators often limit Internet speed for various reasons. Let's talk about how to remove the Yota speed limit.

Yota, which recently began its work in the cellular communications market, offers its customers affordable Internet without restrictions on traffic use. For example, you can choose the highest speed and use the network as much as you want. And for those who use the Internet from a smartphone, unlimited Internet costs starting from 230 rubles per month.
Of course, many advanced users want to use SIM cards via a modem or tablet, or share Wi-fi. And here the problems begin, although they do not immediately become noticeable. A SIM card can only be used in a specific device, for example, only on a tablet, and Wi-Fi distribution is generally paid.
There is also a restriction regarding downloading from torrents. Here the speed is only 64 Kbps. How to bypass Yota speed limit from different devices?
Understand IMEI and TTL
First of all, figure out how to move SIM cards from your phone to the modem. To use the Internet with a tariff, intended for a phone, you need to change the IMEI number of the modem to the IMEI of the smartphone. The same is true with a tablet. Just remember that changing this number is not entirely legal!
Next you need to understand what TTL is. This indicator shows how long the traffic package will be valid. Usually it is 64. That is, when connecting to the Internet, this value is transmitted to the operator. But, when connecting through a router or other device, the indicator becomes lower. As a result, the network becomes aware that other devices are being used to connect.
That is, when distributing the Internet from a phone, it is router. The network naturally notices this and takes its own measures, that is, it limits the speed. You can, of course, increase it for money, but many people don’t want to pay, and they try to find any possible way to circumvent the restrictions.
How to set up a router?
Yota - remove speed limit
The point of the operation is to distribute the Internet with a TTL value of -64. To do this, the router must be instructed not to decrease this indicator. When the device is connected to the router, the TTL value will decrease, but since we set it not to decrease, the indicator will be restored.
A similar function may not be available in the modem, so copy the router configuration file and its control panel, find the modem settings in it and write - ip adjust -ttl inc 1. Next, paste the file back into place, reboot the router and enjoy the speed.
But you can do it differently and increase the TTL by two units, because a computer will also be added here.
How to set up a modem?
First, find the specific instructions for your device on the Internet.
If you don't want to delve too much into the modem settings, then change the TTL value via a computer. In our case, the number is set to 65, because when connecting a modem it will decrease by one.
How to set up Android?
If you distribute the Internet from Android, then there will also be a speed limit.
For the reason that the rights superuser on smartphones generally not are provided, then first look at what TTL value your smartphone transmits to the network.
For this :
- Install the program so that you can work in terminal mode, and in its command line write cat /proc /sys /net /ipv4 /ip _default _ttl
- Now the smartphone will display the basic value of the desired indicator
Next, using a computer or laptop, increase TTL by one so that the smartphone transmits data according to the base value
Reconnect the Internet and use high-speed Internet without restrictions
How to configure iOS?
If you decide to use Internet distribution via iOS, then set the TTL value to 65 or 63 via your computer. This can be done using automatic tweak TetherMe or through the terminal, where you need to enter the command sysctl -w net .inet .ip .ttl =6.
Setting up the computer
If a laptop is connected to a phone, then you need to increase the TTL on the computer by one. The network will then use the standard smartphone value for transmission.
- Go to the “Start” menu and select the “Run” line.
- Enter the regedit command
- Find in the window a branch called HKEY _LOCAL _MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \Tcpip \Parameters and create a DWORD parameter (32 bits) called DefaultTTL in it
- Enter the value 65 (ten-digit system)
- Now you can turn on the Internet
Setting up Mac OS
Run the Terminal program to set a temporary TTL value. Type sudo sysctl -w net .inet .ip .ttl =65 and then enter your login password. To set a constant TTL, create a sysctl.conf file in the etc folder. Its location looks like this: /etc/sysctl.conf. Open this file and write net .inet .ip .ttl =65 in it.
Setting up Windows phone
To do this, change the TTL indicator via a computer, since this cannot be done via smartphones with this system. We described above how to set up a computer.
Removing restrictions on torrents
Yota - downloading from torrent without restrictions
We have already figured out how to deal with limiting Internet speed. But to bypass the restrictions for torrents, you need to have some knowledge in setting up operating systems.
There are two solutions here:
- Activate encryption in torrent download program
- Connect to the Internet using a VPN
Not every torrent client has encryption, so you need to download one that has this function. For example, qBittorrent. Go to its settings, enable DHT and select “Encryption requirement”.
According to many users, this often does not work or makes the speed even lower. Perhaps Yota guessed about this possibility and protected itself from it. Therefore, it is better to use a VPN.
This method may require certain costs, since the use of such services is mainly paid. Choose the service that is most convenient for you and configure your computer. Find how to do this on the website of the selected program.
Now the data will be transmitted through an encrypted channel that cannot be decrypted. Accordingly, the operator will not be able to understand the transmission protocol used.

There are a huge number of mobile operators and Yota is considered one of the most advanced. All thanks to cheap Internet and a lot of different profitable promotions and bonuses. However, any tariff has its pitfalls. The most important thing about this is paid Wi-fi distribution. Attempts to turn a phone into an access point lead to the fact that connected devices can use the Internet with severe restrictions for free (128 Mb/sec), or give away their hard-earned money.
However, now, in the age of advanced technology, there are different ways to circumvent such conditions. They will be discussed in this article.
Restrictions when distributing from Yota
When the access point is turned on, the subscriber on the mobile phone may not suspect anything. However, problems begin when connecting other devices (it doesn’t matter whether it’s a computer or a phone).
When you open any resource through a browser, three ways to gain access to the Internet appear on the display:
This significantly spoils the experience of the operator, whose main slogan is “I don’t limit you in anything.” However, thanks to the craftsmen on the Internet, it is quite possible to bypass it.
Ways to distribute Yota Internet without restrictions
So far, there are only 3 main ways to circumvent this prohibition:
- Editing TTL on the phone;
- TTL editing via computer;
- Using free apps that bypass restrictions. The most popular at the moment is PdaNet.
Editing phone TTL
TTL is the time that a particular data packet exists on your device. Since Yota Internet is closely connected with this system, you can bypass it simply by lowering this value by one point.
In order to edit TTL, you must have root on your mobile device. You can find out how to connect it on any Internet resource.
To correct the number, you need to download the free Sysctl Editor application. At its core, this is a specific command line that allows you to edit the data of interest.
When the application opens, select “Sysctl Editor”. The search string needed in our business will appear. 
In it we write the following path: “net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl”. In the file that opens, you need to decrease the previous value by one. For example, if before this the value was 64, then we write 63.
Editing TTL via computer
If you want to use Internet services on a personal computer, you will also have to tinker with editing the TTL value.
This is just as easy to do on a PC as on a phone. The advantage of this method is that you do not have to download additional applications.
Let's look at the main sequence of actions:
After this, the Internet works without restrictions.
Other ways to access the Internet
There are two more special connection methods:
- Changing IMEI on the device;
- VPN on 3G;
Changing IMEI on the device
This method is intended for connecting via Windows backgrounds, which is why it can be classified as special.
Owners of these devices need to do the following to access the Internet:
After this, restrictions will be lifted.
VPN on 3G
This method is designed to gain access to certain applications that Yota blocks (Steam, battle.net and others). 
In order to use this method, you need to download a socks proxy. We recommend taking them from free Internet resources.
In addition, you must install the proxifier program. It is with her that you will have to work to achieve the goal.
All you need to do is run the program and specify the proxy found before. We set a restriction on use only by a certain program.
After this, the created files must be transferred to the folder with the application of interest. If this is Steam, then the files will be called steam.exe and steamwebhelper.
It remains to indicate in the tabAction is our proxy server and access will be obtained.
Questions from Internet users Iota
How much does it cost to distribute internet toYota?
If you use a “regular” connection, then every day you will spend at least 150 rubles. However, if you use the above methods, you can do without investments. Your maximum cost, in this case, is 20 rubles for a proxy + 100 rubles for special programs.
How to distribute Internet iota from a modem?
This can be done using the command line. You need to specify two commands in it: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=My_Wii-fii key=1123581321 keyUsage=persisten (enter your own password and name). After that, simply enter netsh wlan start hostednetwork and access will be granted.
All these simple methods make life much easier for Iota users. If you don't believe me, just try it. Experience significant cash savings.
Starting around September 2015 (the month may differ depending on the region), Yota included a new method for recognizing unwanted Internet distribution from a mobile device, which consists of analyzing the traffic content.
The essence of the new method
In the case of the old detection method (TTL), the blocking worked almost instantly, since the provider receives TTL data in each data packet transmitted by the device. But he's pretty.
The new method complements the old one and includes blocking based on your activity by analyzing traffic. From time to time, your computer requests system updates, antivirus updates, and accesses the game servers of Steam, Origin, Battle.net, World of Tanks, and the like. All this traffic is not typical for mobile devices, and when it is detected, Iota quite rightly believes that an unauthorized distribution of the Internet is occurring.
I can assume that there is a certain quota for such “suspicious” calls to prevent false positives, after exceeding which you receive an offer to pay for the distribution. Thus, blocking does not occur instantly, but from time to time, which can complicate the diagnosis of the source of blocking.
How to bypass the new blocking method?
To do this, you need not to show “suspicious” traffic to Yota.
There are several options for approach:
- Block those servers that Yota analyzes through the Hosts file. The method is real, but you will stop receiving updates for the system and programs, and you will also not be able to connect to some games. If you are happy with this, then the current blocking lists can be found, and.
- Block some servers, let others through proxies. Less radical, but also more complex. You block some of the servers that you don’t need according to the first point (for example, these could be Microsoft servers for updates), and in each program that you need (antivirus, Steam, etc.) you specify in the proxy settings the servers through which it will be go traffic. The most difficult thing in this method is to find a good proxy that will not significantly reduce the speed and will be constantly available. Free proxies can be found on HideMe and HideMyAss. I advise only experienced users to use this method. Proxies are quite unstable and need to be changed frequently. They also usually have low speed and slow ping, so you can’t play games through them.
- Use a VPN and route all computer traffic through it. The most universal way. To do this, we simply select a VPN server, download its client (or use the installation instructions) and launch it. There are paid and free VPNs. Paid ones are good for speed, the ability to select a country (you can bypass regional blocking), guaranteed availability and the absence of restrictions on ports and types of traffic (at the same time, you can download torrents through Yota). I recommend from paid ones
