How to make wifi in the car. USB modem with Wi-Fi function. Benefits at the lowest cost

Internet in the car - hardware complex"Car-WiFi" includes special aggregation system software. It is a comfortable modern software allows you to comfortably access the Internet in almost any place you need, without considering how each individual operator works mobile communications... In this case, the speeds are summed up, and data streams are duplicated on all channels. "Car-WiFi" blocks simultaneously include several special technologies of cellular networks: LTE 4G, GSM 3G, CDMA, Wi-Fi.

HOW IT WORKS:

It is noteworthy that the "Car-WiFi" complex may well include any variation of operators of modern cellular(Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Skylink, as well as some operators in Europe and Asia). You have the opportunity to choose the tariffs for each installation project yourself. However, SIM cards must always have 4G support and only regular ( standard size), but not nano or micro.

Convenience lies in the fact that the unit turns on simultaneously with the engine of your car. Then, within about a minute, a wireless Wi-Fi network and immediately the operators connect to the Internet. When you are just starting to work on the Internet, then all the available data through communication channels are constantly duplicated, and the speeds are summed up. Even if it happens that the signal disappears on one of the operators, do not rush to get upset - you will not be left without the Internet, - the remaining telecom operators will quickly duplicate your request and will certainly quickly deliver data packets to their destination. Thus, with the help of our reliable Internet in your car, you will get a high-quality and excellent connection to the Internet, and the speed will be slightly higher than that of each individual operator separately.

All this is possible in any combination and quantity.

The speeds of all connections add up, and the system works in the coverage area of any of the selected operators, thus the area of high-quality Internet reception expands many times, and there are guaranteed no connection breaks.

It is important to know and understand!

This development allows you to combine not only mobile operators, as well as any type of Internet channel that is available today.
And it is applicable for tasks such as.

It is hard to imagine modern gadgets without Wi-Fi function, this type of wireless communication is gaining momentum and is being built into all new devices. We will tell you how to equip a Wi-Fi hotspot in your car.

Many manufacturers of modern cars, starting from the basic configuration, install Wi-Fi access points in conjunction with Internet access. This option is in great demand, especially in family cars. Still, there are still a lot of people who want to build the Internet into foreign cars of the past years or domestic cars.

Wi-Fi internet options in the car

Manufacturers of modern cars offer an additional option, but what about those cars where this is not possible. Often, the owners of such cars go to various tricks, independently introducing modern technologies.

Smartphone and Wi-Fi

The first and most reliable way can be considered a smartphone. Modern smartphones allow you to quickly convert a device from a phone to a Wi-Fi hotspot. To do this, it is enough to turn on the mobile Internet and make the Internet available via Wi-Fi through the special Wi-Fi Router function. In this case, the smartphone will turn into an access point.

This option can be considered the cheapest and fastest, since it will be enough to understand the smartphone settings. This method is available for any car and not only for a car; it can also be used as a portable access device. The main disadvantage is that at any time they can call a smartphone, and in this case, the Internet will simply turn off.

Another disadvantage is that you need to constantly look for a place to recharge when you actively use your smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. It will not do without eating money from the account. Before enabling such a function, make sure that your tariff plan has enough megabytes in stock. Otherwise, connected devices will quickly eat up megabytes. If the Internet is with a limit, then it is worth keeping at least 1 GB in stock.

When buying a smartphone, be sure to make sure that the router has a Wi-Fi function. In principle, this is one of the best and most aesthetic options for implementing the Internet in a car.

USB modem for internet

The second option for implementing Wi-Fi Internet is USB modems with Wi-Fi hotspot function. If you don't have a smartphone, then this will be the best option. The most common are Huawei modems; they are based on the same GSM connection system and Wi-Fi distribution.

The advantage is that they are less bulky than smartphones, and besides, if the owner of the smartphone leaves the car, the Internet will still remain in the car. It will also be an advantage that the SIM card installed in the modem will be designed specifically for working on the Internet, thereby allowing more use of the network's capabilities.

When choosing a USB modem for Wi-Fi access in the car, you should not take a modem tied to a specific cellular operator, it is best to take a universal one. Thus, you can independently select a tariff for your needs and volumes of use. Also, when I travel to another country or part of the country, it will be possible to change the operator, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the Wi-Fi access point.

It would be nice to ask the modem manufacturer if the modem can work autonomously without a computer, since the option for a computer will not work because of the setting. Some manufacturers specifically make such Wi-Fi modems for cars and additionally offer an external antenna to enhance the communication signal. Such an antenna is often very useful; when driving on the road, there is not always a good connection, and as a result of the signal amplification, there will always be access to the Internet.

OBD-II device for Wi-Fi

The third option for creating Wi-Fi Internet in the car is access through an OBD-II device. As a rule, for the most part, this device is used to connect to the diagnostic connector and search for errors. Often, data is transferred via a Wi-Fi access point. A smartphone is used as a monitor, and it also connects via Wi-Fi.

Such devices have a built-in GSM receiver; you will need to insert a SIM card of the provider you need into it. But since there are no clear rules for what the Internet is needed for in such a device, you can use it for your own purposes. Such a manufacturer as Delphi Connect allows not only to remove information about errors, but also provides with the help of this device to monitor the location of the car in real time.

Fixed car modem

The most reliable, but at the same time and expensive option is considered to be a fixed Wi-Fi modem for cars. The portable version of the modem is specially made to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in the car. Depending on the manufacturer, the dimensions of the modem can be medium or completely portable, for example, as a radar detector or a video recorder.

Although the pleasure is not cheap, the main advantage of this Wi-Fi access point is the quality of the connection. This is what the manufacturers of such modems are most interested in. The modem will provide the ability to connect to the Internet in any place and condition. Some manufacturers allow using USB to connect a laptop or phone that does not have a Wi-Fi function.

How much does a Wi-Fi hotspot cost in a car

Access to the Internet in your car is not a small pleasure, but the price will naturally also be not small. The first thing worth looking at is the operator's tariff plan. It is worth choosing one that is mostly designed for using the Internet, and not calls or SMS. It is better to check the price with the mobile operator, as they often change prices.

As for the equipment, one of the most profitable options would be to use your smartphone, the price may be free, and in the case of a purchase, reach several tens of thousands of rubles. In the case of using a USB modem with a Wi-Fi access point, the price can range from 300 to 5000 rubles. Some manufacturers' modems can be more expensive.

The third option Wi-Fi connections, this is an OBD-II device, the connection price is from 1000 to 7000 rubles, for some cars it may be more expensive. Much will depend on the type of connector and the car manufacturer.

The most expensive is a fixed modem for a car with a Wi-Fi access point. The price of such a modem will be from 3,500 to 10,000 rubles. Indeed, the price is not small, but the reliability and quality are worth the money. Well, it's up to you to decide which of the options to choose, cheaper and worse quality Wi-Fi connection or more expensive and excellent quality Internet access.

What you need to know about communication

When choosing a modem to work with a GSM network, it is worth knowing a few rules for choosing. First, it is worth looking at the network generation that is using this modem... Most, many countries now use 3G or 4G standards. Therefore, it is better to take one that is capable of working with several standards.

When choosing an operator and a tariff plan for Wi-Fi, you should pay attention to the details, which the operator often tries not to talk about, whether there are limits for megabytes and what is the price in excess of the available megabytes. Often a statement about unlimited internet only in words, in fact, this is a package of several gigabytes, at the end of them you will have to pay extra in excess of the package norm.

Before you get Wi-Fi internet in the car, calculate it several times, choose for yourself and the passengers the most optimal option for accessing the Internet via a Wi-Fi access point.

Why do you need internet in the car?

Today it is difficult to name an area of human activity that would not be directly or indirectly related to the Internet. To be always "in touch" on the Internet is not only a wish modern man, but often just a necessity. Indeed, many business issues of purchase and sale, delivery are resolved in the network, agreements are signed and even negotiations, seminars and conferences are underway.

Moreover, a person who is accustomed to using the Internet every day cannot afford to stay away from rapidly developing events. Therefore, he tries with all his might to ensure that the opportunity to be online was always available to him. Even while driving!

Internet in the car - this is a necessity for a business person.

Benefits at the lowest cost

Internet in the car is installed for both the driver and the passenger. Yes exactly!

The driver uses the Internet connection in the city to clarify the route and visibility of the road in real time. So you can bypass the created traffic jams or the places of the accident. When traveling to another city using the Internet right in the car, you can find out the weather forecast, book a hotel room, plan visits to various museums, theaters and learn everything about local attractions. In addition, while away from your workplace, you can conduct business, manage your business, and even instruct your employees online.
For passengers, installing the Internet in the car means additional comfort. If you are traveling with the whole family, then your children will be able to "attack" social networks and watch movies or concerts online.

If passenger transportation is your business, then the Internet can significantly improve the quality of services provided. And this is especially important in the current competition.

If the Internet in the car is intended exclusively for use by the driver, then, most often, a wired connection is established. It is more stable and reliable, especially when it comes to trips outside the city. If it is assumed that the network will be used by passengers, with several people at once, then the best option there will be a Wi-Fi connection, since installation is not complicated by making connections to the rear seats.

Using the car as a mode of transport to travel to big city, many have noticed the inconvenience they have to face. First of all, these are traffic jams. Sometimes you have to stand in them for a very long time. To prevent passengers from getting bored, drivers connect wi-fi to the car. This solution can be implemented in several ways.

To use the phone as a modem, there are 3 connection options:

via wi-fi;
via Bluetooth;
using wires.

For everything to work, you need to make some settings on your phone. It is not easy for beginners to deal with this. It's much easier to set up your phone like a router.

The connection options will be as follows:

connect your phone via a SIM card. It will work like a router, distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi in the car. This method of connection will allow you to access the Internet wirelessly from any device;
the phone connects to the Internet and via Bluetooth gives access to the network to other devices;
the phone is connected to the mobile Internet and transmits it via the USB cable.

USB modem with Wi-Fi function.

This method is also considered uncomplicated. The USB modem has a cellular data connection type similar to a telephone. Unlike the latter, it is not bulky, the owner of the smartphone can move freely. When the user gets out of the car, the internet will remain.

Car modem for distribution

USB modem for distribution to the cigarette lighter

Separate tariff. Another positive feature is the presence of a separate SIM card with its own tariff. It is calculated only for the tariff for the Internet in the car, without the ability to make calls.

Universal USB modem. When choosing a USB modem, pay attention to the binding to the operators. Buy a universal modem that is independent of certain operators of any network. In this case, it is possible to easily change the operator if he is not satisfied with something. When purchasing a USB modem, consult with the seller, let him know that you need a modem for a car, not a computer.

Wi-Fi to the car, using a special modem for the Internet, will show a stable connection, fast loading.

The second advantage of the universal modem is the uninterrupted operation of the Internet in the car due to an additional SIM card if the user is going on a long journey. Also, for safety on the road, a wi-fi camera is installed for the car.

Choose devices that can function from a car cigarette lighter. The classic version with a connection to the USB-input of a laptop will not work.

Rear row camera

A car camcorder with a wi-fi module transmits an image via the Internet to a smartphone. There is no need to lay any cables in the cabin. Installing a wi-fi camera in a car is quite simple. An on-board voltage of 12V will be sufficient. The mounting system is so simple that you can install it yourself. When a wi-fi camera is mounted in a car, no wiring is required in the cabin.

A car camcorder with wi-fi is installed on the bumper, under the license plate, trunk. With the help of this device, the driver is not afraid to drive onto the curb or collide with another car.

When choosing a Wi-Fi for a car, pay attention to the bandwidth, network power, do not forget about tariffs and operators. Take your purchase choice seriously.

Today, many are interested in how to conduct the Internet via Wi-Fi in a car. There can be many reasons for installing a Wi-Fi hotspot router in your car. Starting from the now fashionable trend to provide access to the World Wide Web in public transport or in a taxi as marketing move and additional service, ending with the provision of high-quality communication for those who need the Internet for work.

V modern world a global network is needed anywhere, cars are no exception

The main advantage of this method over the mobile Internet in a smartphone is the ability to transfer large amounts of data. Since there may be several passengers in the car, accessing the network, a single high-speed access point will become more preferable. A Wi-Fi router in the car provides conveniences similar to those that come with smartphone owners without a mobile Internet when they come home - their gadget immediately "revives" due to the fact that it goes online. Especially these advantages will be felt by passengers on long trips, which will raise the quality of the carrier's service to a higher level.

A bit of history

In the United States, the idea of connecting a car to the Internet first appeared. In 2009, Chrysler car manufacturers began supplying their cars with special equipment that provides communication with the World Wide Web through a Wi-Fi router. This feature was implemented by connecting the additional option Uconnect Web, and throughput the connection was at the level of 400-800 Kbps with a Wi-Fi range of about 30 meters. Later, General Motors began to recycle similar solutions in Cadillacs. And at present, every car owner has the opportunity to supply his car with the Internet, and not only by ordering an additional option in a car dealership.

It is not necessary to modify the machine to use the global network

Standalone Wi-Fi hotspot are now one of the most popular options in new cars, and quite expensive at that. From a technical point of view, implementing a Wi-Fi zone in a car is not a difficult task. In cars with an installed Information and Entertainment System (IRS) with GPS, this is also not difficult to do.

Overview of solutions for implementing Wi-Fi in the car

Connection methods

There are several ways to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in your car:

Smartphone as a router;
3G / 4G router with Wi-Fi;
Wi-Fi module for IRS with a navigator;
Tablet with an external 3G modem (like a Wi-Fi router);
Complete car Wi-Fi system.

Choosing a provider

Equipment selection is half the challenge. You also need to decide on the provider. Tip: choose large providers... Thanks to the widest possible coverage, you can be sure that wherever you drive, the connection via Wi-Fi in the car will be stable.

Tariff selection

The choice of tariffs is quite wide - from minimal to unlimited. If we proceed from the fact that you have decided to create comfortable access to the World Wide Web in the car, it makes sense to take a closer look at unlimited tariff... Especially if large amounts of information are downloaded or streaming video is played. But if you just need to ensure the availability of Wi-Fi in the car, limit yourself to the base rate. In this case, it makes sense to use tricks based on a smartphone or tablet as a router. If you need to connect the Internet to create comfortable conditions during rare long trips, there are tariffs that are paid exclusively on the day of use.

Connection technical implementation options

Smartphone as a router

The easiest and cheapest way to get Wi-Fi into your car is to use your smartphone as a router. The vast majority of gadgets have the function of distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi. Its meaning is that the signal received by the phone from the operator is converted into a Wi-Fi signal, with the help of which other devices can go to the global network through the specified device. There are two drawbacks: fast battery consumption and speed limits set by the smartphone. You need to study the characteristics of your device and compare them with the tariff plan, and if they suit you, this is the most affordable way. And to prevent the rapid drain on the battery, you can connect your phone to the cigarette lighter.

3G modem / Wi-Fi router

Some models of 3G routers have a built-in Wi-Fi module. In fact, the same as that of the gadget, but it is placed in a separate case and has higher specifications... The modem has its own battery that allows it to work for several hours, which seems to be good, but with prolonged use, the cigarette lighter will still have to be used. There are models of routers specifically designed for connecting to a cigarette lighter. It is possible to connect several devices, which is important (for more details on their number, see the documentation for the device). The range of these routers is several tens of meters. Also, these devices have a connector for connecting an external car antenna.

The advantage is the highest declared data exchange rate, but in practice this is far from always the case. Telecom operators and router developers indicate the speed of access to the modem itself. It is necessary to take into account the limitations of gadgets connected to such a source, as well as the fact that the flow rate is proportionally divided between all client devices.

The real Internet speed will be much lower than the expected one, take this into account when deciding on the choice of the connection method. Also, the speed of the Internet in motion will be slightly lower than when the car is stopped. This is usually in the order of 1-2 Mbps. This is quite enough for video calling via Skype, watching videos and downloading music. But keep in mind that for HD video, of course, this is not as well suited as home Internet.

In addition to the above, keep in mind that in fact you are not limited by the machine when disposing of the specified router, it can be operated like the notorious "Wi-Fi in your pocket" - with all its advantages and disadvantages. Compact and convenient. As a rule, such routers are flashed by the provider, and you do not need to bother with the settings. From the control, you will only use the on / off button - after all, usually, except for it and the USB connector, there is nothing in these modems.

Wi-Fi module for IRS with a navigator

Some cars are equipped with IRS - Information and Entertainment System, which includes a navigator screen and a radio module for connecting with a telecom operator via a SIM card. You can pay up to $ 1000 to have this IRS with Wi-Fi as an option. But you can also independently connect a module with a Wi-Fi router, which will cost several times cheaper.

Tablet with external 3G modem as a Wi-Fi router

A fairly practical way is to use a device (which can also be disposed of as a kind of IRS) with an external USB modem connected to it without a Wi-Fi module, the cost of which is lower than with a module. There are two standards of routers that differ in speed: Rev A has a speed limit of 3.1 Mbps, and Rev B is limited to 14.7 Mbps. It is also relatively easy to change the operator by changing the modem. The Wi-Fi module of the tablet is used as an access point, similar to how the Internet is distributed from a smartphone using the same function.

You can also replace this bundle of tablet-modem with just a separate old gadget so as not to load the main one if you find it inconvenient to use your main phone as a router.

Complete car Wi-Fi system

Some subways and many buses have equipment that allows you to connect to Wi-Fi right in the cabin. Such equipment allows you to simultaneously capture 3G, 4G signals from different operators and even Wi-Fi from free access points, automatically switching between them and giving out the maximum stable speed. This solution is distinguished by high communication quality and high cost. Such a system consists of a small modem and external antenna for high quality communication.

Some new cars are equipped with a Wi-Fi system, the effect of which is that you just plug a 3G / 4G modem into the USB input on the center panel, and the built-in router converts the signal into Wi-Fi.

Conclusion

In fact, the essence of connecting the Internet via Wi-Fi in the car is the combination of a mobile Internet source with a Wi-Fi module. At the same time, you need to choose the best option in terms of price / quality ratio, given that it is inevitable that you need to pay extra for quality and convenience. But as for the ability to combine different options, in the case of organizing a Wi-Fi hotspot in the car, you can save significant money if you delve into the essence of the matter a little. Good luck!
