Within the framework of this material, Tele2 modems with support for 3G and 4G cellular networks will be considered. Their specifications and setup procedure will be given. In addition, recommendations will be given on how to choose such a device.
Recommendations for selection. Key Features
At the moment, there are different “Tele2” modems on sale in terms of technical characteristics. Moreover, the better the device, the higher its cost.
The basic solution is labeled 3G. In essence, this is a complete analogue of the MF710 model from ZTE. Only the difference is that the last device can work in the cellular network of any operator, and the modem in question can only work with Tele2. This solution has the following technical specifications:
- SIM card type - standard.
- The highest data receiving speed is 21.6 Mbps, and the information upload is 11 Mbps.

General setup procedure
All Tele2 modems are configured as follows:
- Connect to PC port.
- Installing the necessary software.
- Restarting the computing system.
- Connection testing.
After that, everything is ready for operation.

As noted earlier, the connection of the equipment has already been completed before. Now you need to reconfigure the computer shell and install drivers and other control software in it. Setting up the Tele2 modem at this stage includes the following actions:
- After connecting the equipment, the installation of drivers starts automatically. Follow the instructions to install them.
- Then the service program of the operator is installed, with the help of which you can find out the status of the account and the tariff plan. Again, in this case, you need to follow the instructions of the installation wizard in full.
- The next step is to reboot the system unit. With its help, previously made changes correctly take effect.
Workability testing
Actually, this completes the answer to the question of how to connect the Tele2 modem and configure it. It is only necessary to check the performance of this system without fail. To do this, the following manipulations are performed:
