Wi-Fi Internet in a private house. Choosing a router, and which Internet to connect

Residents of the private sector know that connecting Internet services to areas where modern opportunities have not yet reached is quite expensive and time consuming. Many providers refuse to consider single applications at all, because the cost of connecting one house is disproportionate to the benefits that the company could receive from the subscriber.

Rostelecom offers similar services, and not in a single version. Read on to find out how to get internet in your home.

PON (optical fiber)

PON fiber is advanced technology, which allows you to conduct Internet with a huge bandwidth for a small fee. Up to a hundred subscribers can be connected to one PON distributor without loss of connection quality.

Unfortunately, the laying of this technology is expensive. Rostelecom was allocated funds to equip the private sectors of cities and towns with households, and now active work is underway to provide communications even to the most remote corners.

Accordingly, connecting a house using this technology will depend on whether optical fiber has come to you or not yet.

If PON has already been carried out in the village or cottage town, You can connect in the standard way:

  1. Through the site, having formed an application, your address will be checked for availability, and a technician will be sent.
  2. Through, having created an application for connection and choosing a tariff - 88001000800.
  3. In Rostelecom communication salons - you need a passport.

If the technology has not yet reached you, the connection will be economically unprofitable for the company, so technical support can immediately say that this is impossible.

However, there are cases when people managed to insist on their own, and for quite a lot of money to bring the Internet to a village or a private area.

The main principle here is that the more people are willing to connect (and Rostelecom is practically the only major provider who connects private homes to the Internet at all), the more likely the application will be considered. It is recommended to apply if you have enlisted the support of 10 or more neighbors - then the cost of laying the Internet for one household will be less, and consideration of the application with such a large demand is more likely to end with approval.

But be prepared to wait. In some cases, issuing all permits for laying cables and calculating the payback and cost of connection may take 2-4 months, during which it is advisable to remind the company about yourself.

Important! Rostelecom will use contractors to pull and lay the cable - in some cases they may contact you directly on a phone number and "break down" the price. This is a scam, and the amounts reach 25-90 thousand rubles with such requests. Be vigilant and do not agree to dubious connections - only a technician from Rostelecom itself should communicate with you.

ADSL (telephone line)

Most of the "private traders" not only remember what ADSL is, but also actively use it. For Rostelecom, connecting such an Internet is not a problem if you have a telephone line to a village or the private sector.

You can also apply for a connection in three ways:

  1. Personally in the salons of the company, where the manager will immediately check the possibility of connection. It is recommended to take documents to the telephone line with you, if you have them, and be sure to have a passport. Examination technical feasibility it may take a couple of days, after which the operator will call you back and coordinate the arrival of technical specialists.
  2. On the Internet - on the rt.ru website, select your region and the "Internet" tab, select a tariff plan and leave a request. The operator will contact you by phone.
  3. By phone hotline - 8800 100 0800.

If it is not technically possible to connect you to the network, you will have to use other options, or wait until fiber optic technology comes to your sector.

Mobile Internet

An expensive, but very working option if there is no desire to go through the complicated procedure of agitating neighbors and trying to connect fiber optics.

It is mainly used in dacha cooperatives and remote villages, with 3g or LTE coverage.

The connection principle is as follows:

  1. You purchase a special SIM card from Rostelecom, which can be used in portable modems. The modem can also be purchased from the company, or independently.
  2. One of the tariffs with a limited amount of traffic per month (from 15 to 50 GB) is connected to this SIM card.
  3. In the house, you find a place where signal reception is best, connect an LTE modem to a router (if you want WI-Fi) or directly to a computer / laptop, and start using it.

This type of connection provides you with mobility - you can take the modem, for example, on trips, move around the house with it, etc.

The only negative may be the connection speed - it depends on interference and distance from the Rostelecom mobile tower. At the same time, the monthly fee is always slightly higher than for leased lines.

WiFi

To have Wi-Fi in your house, you can use the previous option and purchase a Rostelecom modem + SIM card and a special router with support for 4G modems.

If you want to make a dedicated line, the difficulties will be exactly the same as with the GPON gasket.

The main principle of connection will be the availability of technical capabilities - either a line passing near your sector, or, in principle, the presence of an Internet cable in the village. Also, in some cases, an agreement can only be concluded if people can be registered in houses (in other words, not for summer cottages).

Connection costs can be high.

If there is a technical possibility, and regular FTTH has already been wired to your village (for example, you have an apartment building and the fiber was laid to it at one terminal), the connection will take place as in an apartment building:

  1. Application through the website or hotline, or in person.
  2. Tariff selection.
  3. Arrival of technicians.
  4. Laying the cable from the distributor-terminal to your home.

If there is no technical possibility, and your area has not been connected, both the cost and terms increase, as well as the complexity of the procedure.

The principle remains the same as with GPON - the more people express their readiness to connect, the faster and more willingly Rostelecom will approve the application.

Of the negative - the price of connection. More about her.

How much does it cost to connect a private house

When technology has already arrived in your sector or village, the connection may not cost anything at all, as it happens in apartment buildings.

However, due to the specifics of homeownership, the prices for stretching optical fiber even just from the Rostelecom "pillar", on which the distribution terminal was hung, can start from 5-6 thousand rubles. Even if the distance from the pole to your house is less than 30-100 meters. According to the feedback of subscribers who provided such services, the price tag can be either 5 or 13, and even 20 thousand for one household. AT recent times, however, it tends to go down, since Rostelecom is actively building a network to the most "hard-to-reach" settlements using cheap PON technology, and people are willing to connect (there is a demand).

In the future, the subscriber simply pays a monthly fee for the tariff in the standard mode, as in an apartment. Additional network service charges may (but usually do not) apply.

If you need to “pull” the Internet into the village and it is not yet connected, the price tag increases, sometimes many times over. Even 10 kilometers of such a connection can cost the company more than 200-300 thousand, and not all subscribers will agree to "share the burden." We just have to wait until the technology itself knocks on the door.

When connecting ADSL, the cost is, of course, lower, because the company does not have to lay anything additional, everything is connected to an existing telephone line. Here the price can be from 500-1000 rubles and more. Sometimes for free.

Connecting a 4G modem is the easiest, but you will have to spend money on the modem itself and, possibly, a router with the ability to connect such equipment. There is no one-time payment for a SIM card.

How to apply for connection

Application for connection is left through:

  1. Internet - the address, full name, contact phone number and the selected tariff are indicated. This can be done on the official website of Rostelecom in the "Internet" section.
  2. Phone - call the hotline. Do not forget to ask the operator at the end of the conversation for the application number, and write it down. When contacting Rostelecom while waiting for a decision, call this number and it will be easier for you to transfer the results of the consideration.
  3. Salons of the company. If you want to leave a collective application, it is logical to appoint one "responsible" for communication with Rostelecom and act through him. If the application is ordinary, only a passport will be needed.

Not so long ago, the owner of an apartment or house without a home phone could simply forget about accessing the Global Network - and, of course, he was not interested in problems due to which emails do not come either. Now everything has changed: providers offer more and more attractive conditions for cooperation - and not only in the ADSL standard. How to connect the Internet without a home phone - let's try to figure it out.

Ethernet cable

The installation process can be conditionally divided into several steps - variations depend on the provider:

  1. The owner of an apartment without a home phone comes to the office of a telecom operator and concludes a service agreement, including the installation of a satellite dish and related equipment - a router for distributing a wireless signal.
  2. An alternative option is to purchase from a provider and self-installation router and dish - strictly not recommended to the user. There are two main reasons: complexity installation work and, in the case of an apartment building, legal hurdles. An apartment owner who wants to connect satellite Internet on his own will have to spend time coordinating the installation of a dish in the housing and communal services or housing associations - and it is far from certain that he will receive approval. Providers, on the other hand, usually take over the legal and technical aspects, offering the user a ready-made connection without unpleasant intermediate steps.
  3. On the appointed day, the owner of the apartment without a home phone receives employees who install a satellite dish on the outer wall of the house, and then connect the device to the router and carry out the initial setup of the home network.

That's all - it remains only to independently set a new Wi-Fi password and use the Internet without a home phone.

Benefits of installing a plate:

  1. Wide coverage area. The Internet signal today can be caught almost throughout the country, and no cable is required for this - which means that you can forget about operator failures due to the remoteness of the house from the main highway.
  2. Ease of use. A subscriber who, along with using the Internet, has paid for the installation and connection of a dish, has nothing more to worry about - he gets access to the Global Network "out of the box" at the highest possible speed and with all the privileges offered by the operator.
  3. Possibility of moving. If the plate has already been purchased, it can be removed and installed on another wall of a private house or in another apartment. The user does not have to buy a new device from his provider with each change of address - and in addition, in most cases, it is possible to switch with his plate to a new telecom operator.

Disadvantages of satellite dishes:

  1. The speed of the Internet received "over the air" in most cases is lower than that distributed by wire. This means that the user will have to wait a little longer for a video to be downloaded, a music album to be downloaded, an email to be sent, or a movie to be loaded in an online player.
  2. The flow can be "interrupted" and completely interrupted due to adverse weather conditions. The owner of an apartment without a home phone, unable to connect a wired Internet, from time to time will have to remain without a connection - however, fortunately, with the development of information technology, the frequency of failures is rapidly decreasing.
  3. Legal issues. Even if the installation of a satellite dish in an apartment building was previously agreed upon and did not cause any complaints during the process, the new leadership of the HOA, recently relocated tenants, or another change in legislation may cause a revision earlier decision- and, as a result, the dismantling of the plate or lengthy litigation.
  4. High cost. Connecting the Internet in this way is more expensive than pulling an Ethernet cable. In addition, some providers set inflated tariffs for customers using satellite dishes.

Advice: when purchasing a satellite dish, an owner who wants to connect to the Internet without a home phone needs to choose a bidirectional communication option that provides receiving and sending data packets over a single channel. Modern devices are designed only for this format - however, it does not hurt to clarify in advance.

Mobile data

And, of course, the owner of the apartment without a home phone can use the mobile Internet; the main thing is to choose a profitable one, preferably unlimited tariff. Another important recommendation is to buy a separate SIM card to access the Global Network: it will be easier to track spending and control traffic consumption.

Connecting the house to mobile Internet available in two main versions:

  1. Directly from a smartphone that supports wireless signal distribution. The user will need to activate the SIM card, allow the use of mobile data and turn the phone into an access point using the system option. And, of course, keep an eye on the phone's charge, but it's better to keep it constantly connected to the mains - the Internet will disappear as soon as the battery runs out.
  2. Through the modem. A SIM card is inserted into the corresponding slot of a mobile device, which looks like a USB flash drive, with or without an antenna. In the future, depending on the model, the modem works like a router, distributing the Internet without "intermediaries", connects to the router or directly to the USB connector of the receiving device: computer or laptop. The latter can, in turn, be made an access point - then the mobile data transmission chain will include at least three links.

Advantages of mobile Internet:

  1. Publicity. The signal is distributed by operators cellular communication throughout the country, and connecting to the Global Network, except for particularly hard-to-reach places, is not difficult.
  2. Flexible system of tariffs. The more offers on the market, the more moderate and varied the prices - for the mobile Internet, this rule still works in the Russian economy. There are enough cellular operators in the country, price lines - too; which means that each user will be able to choose the best tariff plan for himself.
  3. Compactness. Unlike a bulky satellite dish that is difficult to coordinate, install and remount, a smartphone or modem for distributing mobile Internet fits in the palm of your hand, while providing comparable performance. The user can take the device with him, rearrange it in any room of the apartment or house and, of course, replace it with another whenever he pleases.
  4. Ease of use. In most cases, to set up a home wireless network, an apartment owner without a home phone will just need to insert a SIM card into a modem or smartphone and get to work. The initial settings are minimal, and changing them later will not be difficult.

Disadvantages of using mobile data:

  1. Interruptions with the signal due to weather changes are not ruled out. The user must prepare for occasional home outages. wireless network: providers are currently solving problems of this kind quite quickly, but for an hour or two in the event of another outage, you will have to forget about the Internet.
  2. Transceiver instability. Phones and modems that receive and distribute mobile Internet tend to overheat and fail. To at least partially eliminate this possibility, you will have to purchase expensive models or have spare options on hand.
  3. Weak signal. Both modems and smartphones do not differ in the special quality of data transfer. The owner of an apartment without a home phone will be able to receive a signal on a directly connected laptop or computer without any difficulties, as well as within the room - but in order to ensure stable reception throughout the house, you will have to connect repeaters, which greatly complicates and increases the cost of creating a home wireless network.
  4. Insufficient variability. It is virtually impossible to set up mobile Internet distributed from a modem or smartphone; the user is limited by the choice of password, protocol and connection speed. For advanced settings that make connecting to the Global Network more comfortable, you will need to connect either an expensive modem combined with a router or an additional router. In the second case, a new link appears in the data transmission chain, which negatively affects the stability of the signal.

Advice: when connecting an apartment without a home phone to the mobile Internet, you should choose an unlimited plan - its increased cost will more than pay off in the first month of active traffic use.

Summing up

Connecting to the Internet without a home phone is currently not a problem. The user can extend an Ethernet or fiber optic cable into the apartment by concluding an appropriate agreement with the provider. Other options are installing a satellite dish and using mobile data; in the latter case, you will need to purchase not only a separate SIM card, but also a modem or smartphone to create an access point.

In Russia, the leader in providing Internet services is Rostelecom. The telecommunications market requires the Internet provider to have extensive wired communication channels available. Due to the large distances between settlements, it is unprofitable to lay new lines, and Rostelecom uses existing telephone lines. Thanks to this, the Internet from Rostelecom can be carried out in every a private house or sparsely populated area. As the development progresses, the technologies for connecting the Internet to private households are also improving. In a variety of connection methods, Rostelecom also remains a leader.

Internet connection technologies for a private house

Providers use several technologies. Here are the most common:

  • ADSL connection - transmits a signal over telephone cable lines, you need a landline phone;
  • PON connection - uses fiber optic cable;
  • Wi-Fi connection - works using radio waves;
  • 3G or 4G modem - uses a cellular signal for mobile phones;
  • TV cable + Ethernet - a special modem converts the TV signal into an Ethernet signal.

What technologies are presented in the services of Rostelecom

Rostelecom uses three main types of technologies: ADSL, GPON and Wi-Fi. All have advantages and disadvantages. The specific type of Internet connection to a private house or cottage is established based on technical capabilities.

ADSL connection

If the house has a landline telephone, then Internet access is provided using ADSL. This technology uses telephone lines that carry an Internet signal. Depending on the remoteness of the communication center and the length of the cable line, the speed of obtaining information ranges from 2-4 Mbps to 20-25 Mbps. The average speed declared in the tariff line is 10 Mbps.

The technology is based on the use of a digital line of a telephone network subscriber. The telephone network transmits voice messages in analog form. Using ADSL technology, the analog signal is converted to digital and transmitted to the input of the network adapter. In this case, digital and analog signals are divided into two components and are fed simultaneously to the phone and computer.

Connection of devices during connection can be made using ADSL technology

By modern standards, the speed, of course, is small, but this is enough to download programs or media content. For comfortable use of online games or watching movies, the speed is not enough, but all the inconveniences are compensated by a quick connection. For those who use the Internet only to watch the news, this is more than enough.

The main inconvenience, especially if the telephone lines are old, is frequent interruptions in communication when cable connections are flooded with water during rain or overhead lines are cut off when natural disasters. You often have to contact technical support or utilities.

GPON connection

GPON connection technology - the best solution for laying an Internet connection line in a private household. Unlike copper, passive optical fiber is cheaper and more resistant to external influences. It is almost impossible to break it under external mechanical action, it is not affected by moisture.

From personal experience I can say that the fiber optic cable stops transmitting the Internet signal when it is bent 180 °. When the cable is straightened, the signal reappears. There is no mechanical damage to the cable when it is bent.

The speed at which information is received best conditions reaches 1 Gbps. The standard speed that Rostelecom declares in its tariff line is 100 Mbps.

The fiber optic cable stops transmitting the Internet signal when it is bent 180°

Fiber optic cable can be connected to home television, burglar alarms, surveillance cameras and a smart home remote control system.

What is the feature of the technology? Thanks to the network structure, one central unit can be both a receiver and a transmitter. Therefore, it is possible to serve the information flows of many subscribers, regardless of their number and amount of information. The signal is transmitted along one conductor of the many fiber optic strands that make up the fiber optic cable. A splitter is used on the line between the provider and the subscriber, which transmits the signal to the subscriber in the splitting mode and in the opposite direction in the mixing mode.

When connecting via PON technology, you can effectively use the network configuration regardless of the location of the subscriber nodes

Main advantages of GPON connection:

  • high resistance to interference;
  • the connection is made directly with the central module and does not depend on accidents and breakdowns of other devices in the network;
  • high bandwidth of the communication channel allows you to connect several services to the router;
  • there is no intermediate equipment between the central node and network subscribers;
  • you can effectively use the network configuration regardless of the location of the subscriber nodes;
  • economical, easy to connect and maintain.

The main disadvantages of PON connection:

  • difficult to create a network;
  • it is expensive to run a fiber optic cable to a private house if it is far from the connection point;
  • due to the high sensitivity to kinks, the signal level decreases.

In the absence of cable lines, you can use Wi-Fi technology.

WiFi connection

Private households are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi in small settlements with 250–500 inhabitants. The service from Rostelecom is called "Internet at Home". The company installs hotspots with a long range, and a private house is connected to the Internet via a wireless connection based on radio waves.

The speed of obtaining information using this technology is up to 10 Mbps. In addition, the company provides free access to 2,000 websites government agencies authorities.

When connecting to the Internet at the “Internet at home” tariff, the company installs access points with a large range

How to activate the universal service "Internet at Home":

  1. Establish a connection between a router equipped with a Wi-Fi device and a long-range access point.
  2. Connect to the RTOpen network to access the Rostelecom websites rt.ru and lk.rt.ru.
  3. Register on the site.
  4. After registration, go to the RTWiFi network for full-fledged work in the Internet.

If finances do not allow you to purchase equipment for connecting at the “Internet at Home” tariff, and the access point is within 100 m from a private house, then you can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi as part of the Bridging the Digital Divide program.

Connecting to the Internet at a social tariff for the Bridging the Digital Divide service

To do this, register on the official website of Rostelecom or call 8-800-301-00-35.

Register via Wi-Fi network near the hotspot. How to do it:


At first, connecting to a wireless network was paid, but when the service gained popularity, Rostelecom made it free.

There is another option for connecting to the Internet. If there is no landline phone in the house, they don’t plan to wire the optical network in the area of ​​\u200b\u200ba private house, and it’s too far to the access point, then try to negotiate with neighbors who already have access to the Internet. You need to install a router with a Wi-Fi receiver and pay for the connection service for two.

Tariffs and the cost of connecting to the Internet

If there is a landline phone in a private house or dacha, then Rostelecom specialists will connect you for free. You only pay for setup additional equipment that can be connected to the internet. Choose a tariff plan on the official website of Rostelecom.

When connecting Wi-Fi at the “Internet at Home” tariff, you do not need to pay anything: the tariff is free, within the framework of the state program for the development of the Internet in the Russian Federation.

When connecting the service "Internet at home" the tariff is free

The cost of connection varies depending on the region: high in remote areas such as Chukotka and Kamchatka, and low in the Moscow region.

When connecting via fiber optic cable, there is no general pricing criterion: it all depends on the location to the nearest connection point, cable length and laying work. The cost is assessed on an individual basis. The total cost is made up of tariffs for running a linear meter of cable, the price of fiber optic cable and operating time.

When connecting, you will need a router, preferably with a Wi-Fi device. You can buy it in the store. The cost of the router ranges from 1200 to 3500 ₽. If financial possibilities do not allow to purchase a device, then it can be rented from Rostelecom with the right to purchase. Payment will be included in the monthly subscription fee. You will be required to make monthly payments according to the tariff plan.

What equipment is needed to connect to the Internet in a private house

To connect the Internet from Rostelecom, you need to buy and configure equipment. It can also be rented from a provider with the right to repurchase. Depending on the connection technology, the equipment also changes.

Telephone line connection

You will need an ADSL modem.

Select and connect an ADSL modem to the network

Different types of such modems are connected to the Internet after installing a special filter - a splitter. It separates analog voice and digital signals: you can use the phone and the Internet at the same time.

Connect the splitter to the network in front of the modem

Video: connecting and configuring an ADSL modem

The modem must be equipped with a Wi-Fi device to support multiple devices on the network.

Fiber optic connection

You will need a GPON modem. Such a modem can combine the functions of an Ethernet and a Wi-Fi router. If you can, immediately install a router to organize an intra-house network.

Buy and Connect a Router

It will help to divide the Internet signal into several devices: laptop, tablet, smartphone, TV, phone. You can share via wires connected to the LAN connectors of the router, or via a Wi-Fi connection. You can configure the router through any browser on the standard settings site, for example, 192.168.100.1.

Wi-Fi connection

You will need a set of equipment. As a rule, it is indicated in the contract or on the website of the Rostelecom distributor.

Select the necessary equipment for connecting to the Internet

The kit includes:

  • LTE antenna for receiving a wireless Internet signal from a long-range access point;
  • Wi-Fi router for receiving and splitting the signal;
  • adapter adapters;
  • connection cable;
  • wall mount for cable.

Internet connection via 3G and 4G

Internet from Rostelecom in a private house can also be connected via 3G and 4G, if technical conditions allow. For such a connection, Rostelecom networks and LTE antennas are used. They connect using a special modem in USB format, equipped with a SIM card with a special tariff.

Choose a 3G modem or 4G modem to connect to the Internet

3G modem can support up to 3.4 Mbps, and 4G modem up to 30 Mbps. In the future, the manufacturer promises to increase the speed up to 1 Gbps.

TV cable connection

If the technical conditions in the region allow, then you can connect the Internet using DOCSIS technology using a television cable as an Internet signal conductor.

If necessary, rent a modem from Rostelecom

A modem for connecting via a television cable can be rented from Rostelecom. This modem has a key built into the firmware. He doesn't need additional setting, immediately after connecting to the TV cable, it decodes the TV signal into an Ethernet signal.

How is the Internet connection

Connection takes place in several stages.

Connect the Internet in four steps

There are four standard options for applying:


Connecting with a distributor may be cheaper, as he needs to attract new customers. With the rapid development of construction in the private sector and high competition among Internet providers, this is real. Organizations connecting houses in the private sector offer favorable conditions.

Check out the distributor's offers

When the application is processed, a team of specialists will come to you to connect the house to the Internet and make the initial settings for the equipment.

After presenting the Internet in work, sign the contract between the client and the company in two copies. One copy remains with the client, the second copy is taken by Rostelecom specialists.

You need to keep the client instance and not lose it: you might need it. Rostelecom can, when developing a new tariff plan, connect all customers in a row to it. You may be connected to services that you did not order, for example, “Night Acceleration” or “Your Perfect HD”. To challenge an undeclared connection and return the money, you will need an agreement.

Internet connection from Rostelecom is the best option for a private home. The company offers several types of connection technology using cable routes or in their absence. The connection speed of the wired and wireless connection gradually levels off, and the sharp differences in performance disappear. For rural areas, wireless is a priority, as it is quite expensive to run fiber optic cable, and telephone lines are being squeezed out of the market by mobile communications. This should be taken into account when deciding whether to install the Internet in a private household.
