Features

Additional photos

A characteristic feature of the router was the use of E-ink display (electronic ink technology), which always shows the battery charge (even when the router is turned off, the E-Ink technology allows this without affecting the battery), and in the on state - the number of users and the status of the function Yota Share (open network).


Other important features are the increased running time and the patented dual USB / micro USB connector.

Compared with the previous version of the mobile router (meaning Quanta), the Yota Many battery is one and a half times larger (2100 mAh vs. 1430 mAh).
The manufacturer assures that the battery charge is now enough for 16 hours of surfing (more precisely, synchronization with a smartphone), when downloading and downloading video - 6 hours, in standby mode - 60 hours, in sleep mode - 39 days. (http://www.ferra.ru/ru/networks/news/2013/05/24/Yota-Ruby/)
Full charge time is about two hours. You can charge the device's battery by 70% in 1 hour.
Yota Many can be charged either through a cable (included in the package), by connecting it to a standard or micro USB connector, or by connecting directly to a USB connector on a computer (simply by unfolding the USB connector). When connected to a computer, even a completely discharged router will start working as a USB modem.


The dual USB / micro USB connector, migrated from the old Many, is now made of nice metal. Although it seems like the old connector did not break anyone ... Thanks to this clever connector, the router can be inserted without unnecessary wires into the USB port of the computer and used as a modem. In addition, the connector can be used as a stop, so that the router does not fall when standing.

The router uses a micro-SIM, which is inserted into a barely noticeable slot on the side of the connector. Finally, Yota is already using a branded SIM card (in Quante there was just a white SIM card). The router does not work with other SIM cards (we are waiting for the unlock, including the 3G unlock, see below).

There are no external connectors for additional antennas, however, inside the router, on the board, there are 4 different connectors

Yes, there are no reception level indicators in the router! Neither on the display, nor micro-plugs with lights (as it was in the old Many), not even in the web interface. The web interface only has signal values ​​in db.

Through the web interface, you can turn off the blue light of the logo Yota!

The router has a 3-position mode switch "ON" - "OFF" - "Yota Share", and the position "OFF" is in the middle, which in my opinion is not very convenient. There is also a Reset button located in the same switch.

The Yota Share feature allows you to create an open network parallel to the closed. The ratio of the number of available connections through an open network and closed (a total of maximum 8) is configured in the web interface. When the open connection limit is reached, the emoticon on the display (which just lights up when the open network is turned on) changes to "surprised"

According to the chip manufacturer, the product is the best in energy efficiency in its class, with the result that its use can add up to 15% to the battery life of the mobile device. The chip supports quad-band GSM / EDGE and WCDMA / LTE bands 1, 2, 5 and 8. This allows the amplifier to be used in devices designed for operation in the countries of North America, Europe and Asia.

  Between these two chips there is another barely noticeable chip.WTR1605L, this is generally a Qualcomm super chip - according to the information on the network, it supports seven frequency bands: three below 1 GHz, three on the higher one and on the same 2.5+ GHz, and at the same time produced by the 28-nm process technology, which promises to achieve record power consumption, even though such a broad range of supported frequencies. (http://zona-iphone.ru/novosti/chip-qualcomm-wtr1605l-mozhet-byit-v-iphone-5.html).Curiously, this chip was already found in the LG Nexus 4 smartphone inactive due to the lack of a power amplifier (http://home-android.ru/news/739).Let's hope that Many have it all right ...

• Differences from Yota Ruby

  Back in the spring at CTIA 2013, Yota Devices demonstrated the same, but already LTE / UMTS / GSM, Yota Ruby router.http://www.ferra.ru/ru/networks/news/2013/05/24/Yota-Ruby/
  Let's try to figure out what they have in common. It looks like a 1 in 1 router like ours Many.
  Yota Ruby has a network color indication: the orange man lights up when the router works in 2G or 3G networks, and blue when you are in a fast LTE network. Yota Ruby router simultaneously supports 5 different LTE bands in both FDD and TDD, and also supports GSM and UMTS standards. The device is based on the MDM 9215 chipset, released by Qualcomm using the 28 nm technology. We have already found out that there is a similar chipset in our exploded Many.
  However, on the Yota website in the Support section (http://www.yota.ru/ru/support/)They write that Yota Many is made on the Ruby platform, and its only difference is the frequencies that Many can work on - Ruby has higher frequency choices. Many also operate on the LTE Band 7 frequency (2600 MHz - the Yota network operates in this band) and LTE Band 20 (800 MHz). And note: since Yota does not currently provide a 3G service, 3G is software-disabled in devices. In the event of a service, Yota can remotely enable this support. And then, as follows from what was said on the official website, Many can also light up in an orange color.
  After analyzing all of the above, as well as the insides of the Many, we can conclude that the new Many is hardware-the same Ruby, only LTE frequencies are programmed in it and 3G support is disabled, well, and besides this the router is locked under the Iota SIM card.
  So, we are waiting for the unlock from the craftsmen !!!If you manage to unlock 3G, or, for example, upload firmware from Ruby, then this will be a mega-router in general !!!

  (thank a_lex999 )
  
  I strongly advise you to change them.
  
  
• Auto switch between 2G / 3G / 4G

  Firmware 1_1.32 unlocked code from Yota does not have an extended admin (it was simply removed from there, the old version does not fit).
  Configure the router to automatically switch between2G / 3G / 4G it is possible so (to execute in the JavaScript console):
  
  

  getMobileSettings (function (data) {
  var params = data;
  params.selectedNetworkType = "Auto (4G / 3G / 2G)";
  
  $ .post (
  devCtrlUrl,
  {
  "authparam": calcAuthParam (),
  "command": "setMobileSettings",
  "dataRoamingEnable": params.dataRoamingEnable,
  "wiFiAutoOffEnable": params.wiFiAutoOffEnable,
  "wiFiAutoOffMode": params.wiFiAutoOffMode,
  "netAutoSelect": params.netAutoSelect,
  "selectedOperator": params.selectedOperator,
  "selectedNetworkType": params.selectedNetworkType,
  "logoLedControl": params.logoLedControl
  },
  function (ok) {
  console.log (ok);
  }, "json"
  ) .error (devErrorHandler);
  });

  
  These parameters, in theory, will be saved until the device is reset.

Good afternoon, it may already have been somewhere, but I would like to clarify for myself: does the second revision work with 4G only? To work in 2G & 3G it can not be configured?

[Gazila_264]

pitchXX,
only works in 4G on 2G / 3G networks will not work.

Hello. I can not make friends with the device on the cable with Windows 10. The Wi-Fi works. Defined as Generic Mobile Broadband Adapte. Firmware YRRR1_1.34_fix10_RNDIS_WiFi2. On the previous page asked the same question. There seems to be no answer. Thank.

[rojer700]

In general, I scribbled my yota many and now I think how to spread it. It turns on blinks but there is no waffle and it also doesn’t go to the web via yusb, it says that the network is being restricted and it constantly tries to connect. In general, how would it be in such a state to translate into an adb device? Let me remind you that there is no access to 10.0.0.1 and telnet does not work either. It was 1.34 fix10

After the unlock, 4 ji on the megaphone stopped working and everything works on mts. What could be?

[lazan79]

Good all and all! How to connect external Wi-Fi b 4G antennas to Ruby?
A bunch of connectors on the photo (what kind of connector is this?)

and another question: do all unlock modems, are there really tariffs with unlimited and at max speeds cheaper than iota? can be in lichku? Tele2 has for 400 r, but there it is impossible to distribute the Internet to other devices.

Post has been editedlazan79 - 13.03.19, 12:55

[NEWKENT]

so besides the unlock there are some more manipulations so that you can distribute)
And so, I have an MTS with the tariff of 2016. The unlimited party has been plowing for 3 years (not on the modem, on the other)

[lazan79]

[email protected], 18:44

You have 2 revisions of the device, it works only in 4G, in 2G / 3G it will not work
it also does not adapt to smart tariffs (imel is changing but the core of the router itself does not support TTL fixing)
firmware for 1 revision only.

those. Tariffs from smart will not work? not at all?

[Gazila_264]

lazan79,
Yes, they will not work.

Gazila_264,
router yota many, revision 2, everything was done according to your instructions, have changed, but do not want to work with sim beeline. where to dig?

tariff for modems and routers or for smartphones and tablets with unlimited internet?
