Beeline TC-100 4G router description, review, specifications.
The principle of operation of Beeline TC-100 4G is that it receives a signal from mobile operator and distributes it via Wi-Fi or 2 LAN ports. In other words, an ordinary SIM card is placed in it. It also has a telephone jack (standard RJ-11). The Beeline TC 100 router supports 2G (GSM 900/1800 MHz), 3G (UMTS 900/2100 MHz) and 4G Band 3/7/20 (LTE FDD 800/1800/2600 MHz) networks. Wi-Fi b/g/n.
In the router you can choose auto mode, and only 2G, only 3G or only 4G.
You can connect an external antenna to the Beeline TS-100 router (1 SMA antenna connector)
Supports up to 32 devices via Wi-Fi.
However, they will be able to fully operate only within a radius of up to 10 meters from the Beeline TS100 router
If you select only 4G it is impossible to use phone calls. This is understandable if the operator does not support voice calls in 4G
There is no light indication of the network standard on the router itself (on the case).
If the router has not registered in any network, the light will turn red, and if it has registered in any network, the light will light green.
Like a Beeline TS-100 router for all SIM cards
The Beeline TC-100 4G router is sold to work only with Beeline SIM cards, but if you install any other SIM card in it, a request for an unlock code appears. On the website you can get the following unlock code for the Beeline TS-100 router, the cost of the code 350 rub.
1. To receive the unlock code, you will need to tell us the IMEI number of your device (15-digit number). This data can be found on the box and factory sticker. Also, the IMEI of the device can be found in the web interface by inserting a SIM card of another operator into it.
2. Pay for the goods (if you pay through an external payment system and upon completion of the payment you have a “return to seller” button - do not forget to press it), after making the payment, carefully enter the IMEI in the form that appears.
3. After sending the data you entered, the unlock code will automatically be displayed in the paid goods column (if after paying for the goods you did not see or accidentally missed the form for indicating IMEI, follow the link in the letter from oplata.info, which you will receive immediately after payment) .
4. Insert a SIM card from another operator into the device and enter the received unlock code.
In this article I want to introduce you to a new interesting device from BeeLine - the 4G Wi-Fi router BeeLine TC-100 (or rather, BeeLine Business TC-100). This wireless router It works on the principle of receiving a signal from a cellular operator and distributing it via Wi-Fi and/or 2 LAN ports. It also has one telephone jack (standard RJ-11). TC 100 supports 2G (GSM 900/1800 MHz), 3G (UMTS 900/2100 MHz) and 4G Band 3/7/20 (LTE FDD 800/1800/2600 MHz) networks. Wi-Fi b/g/n.
The main advantages of the LTE Wi-Fi router Beeline TS-100:
+ Possibility of forced selection specific network.
That is, in the router you can select either automatic mode, only 2G, only 3G or only 4G. Screenshots this menu see the end of this article.
+ Possibility of connecting an external antenna.
If the router is located in an area of uncertain reception of the signal you need (usually LTE by itself), then you can connect an external antenna to it (Beeline TS-100 has 1 SMA antenna connector) and voila! With the proper placement of a good external antenna, the signal can be seriously amplified even beyond the range of a certain network (of course, within reasonable limits).
+ Ability to distribute a wired connection to 8 devices without serious loss of quality!
The router is stable good speed on all devices via wire, even despite connecting 2 switches (switches) with 4 additional LAN ports each! In general, you can connect more, but there will already be noticeable losses in the quality (and stability) of work.
+ Simple, convenient and understandable menu! See all menu screenshots at the end of the article.
+ Compact design, beautiful design. The router looks stylish!
+ Supports up to 32 devices via Wi-Fi.
However, they will be able to fully operate only within a radius of up to 10 meters from the Beeline TS100 Wi-Fi router!
The main disadvantages of the BeeLine TC-100 4G router:
– Poor quality Wi-Fi operation.
Normal wireless Internet this device provides only within a radius of 10 meters! Even if, in line of sight, you move 10 meters or more away from the router, then using the Internet via Wi-Fi is already very problematic, despite the fact that the Wi-Fi signal itself will still be stable. Even enhanced ones don’t help here Wi-Fi antennas! be ready remote computers connect exclusively via wires! Fortunately, such an opportunity exists.
- If you select 4G only, you cannot use phone calls.
As is known, in Russia LTE networks fourth generation does not support standard voice conversations. Therefore, if you want to use voice communication, you will have to switch to 3G or 2G networks, which, accordingly, suffer serious losses in Internet speed. We have to choose.
– There is no light indication of the network standard on the router itself (on the case).
That is, if the router has not registered in any network, the light will turn red, and if it has registered in any network, the light will light green. This is inconvenient if used automatic selection networks - then in order to understand which network the router is served on this moment time, you will need to go to the control panel through the WEB interface of the router (IP address: 192.168.0.1 default password: admin. Be sure to change the password!). If you use only a 4G network, then it is clear that the router is registered in LTE. What if you need work and a phone? Then you need to select automatic registration priority in the network, so that when you make a call, the router switches from the LTE network to the 3G (2G) network to be able to talk - and in this situation it is not clear (by the light indication) which network the router is currently working on. They could make (as an option) green - this is 4G, blue - this is 3G, yellow - 2G and red - not registered on the network.
The cost of the device at the time of writing this review (without promotions) is - 5290 rub..
However, using the “Business Internet” program from Beeline, when concluding a contract for the use of services, it is possible to purchase this device for only 1 ruble.
Beeline TS-100 has fairly compact dimensions of 115x125x44 mm. and can easily be placed anywhere in your office. If the signal coverage is not good enough, an external antenna (SMA) connector is provided. Please note that when using an antenna, after physically connecting it, it must be enabled in the device’s web interface - Settings -> Advanced -> External antenna -> Enable. Below are photos appearance device, as well as connectors located on the rear panel:
Brief technical characteristics of Beeline TS-100
- Wi-Fi access point (router)
- Wi-Fi standard: 802.11 b/g/n
- 2G (GSM 900/1800 MHz),
- 3G (UMTS 900/2100 MHz),
- 4G Band 3/7/20 (LTE FDD 800/1800/2600 MHz)
- 2 LAN connectors (Ethernet RJ45)
- 1 POTS telephone jack (RJ11)
- 1 x external antenna connector (SMA)
- Connect up to 32 devices via Wi-Fi
Then, if necessary, connect network devices(PC or network switch) to the Ethernet connectors, and also, insert the telephone plug into the RJ-11 connector and turn on the power of the device. To connect to WiFi, by default, the network name (SSID) and password indicated on the sticker below are used.
Immediately after turning on, the router is ready to work, it will automatically establish a connection to the Internet using a Beeline SIM card, and all devices connected to it via cable or WiFi will receive an IP address via DHCP, i.e. automatically, from the range - 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.50. In this case, the router itself will have an IP address of 192.168.0.1, and to configure it you can use the web interface (the default password to enter the web interface is admin).
The Web UI design is made in the traditional Beeline “tiled” style and is intuitive:
Also, the device’s Web interface provides basic functions for managing services, for example, you can check your balance, go to Personal Area, find out your own phone number or send a USSD request (Service Management -> Services). Also using web interface You can send and receive SMS messages, as well as manage contacts on your SIM card.
As for the quality of communication and stability of the device, it can be described as acceptable. We will not provide here specific figures for the signal level in dBm, as well as the results of SpeedTest, since these tests are “synthetic”, in the sense that their results depend on the influence of many factors (device location, quality of coverage cellular network, specific workload base station etc.), however, we can note that in comparison, among devices of a similar class presented in Beeline, the same Alcatel Y850V0, Alcatel Y900NB, etc. showed slightly better results and worked more stably. However, here it should be taken into account that the Beeline TS-100 model has an RJ-11 connector for connecting a telephone set, but it is not available in the models listed above.
Like all branded devices of this operator, the Beeline TS-100 is configured by default only for use with SIM cards of this operator; when you try to turn on the device with a SIM card of another operator, a request to enter the network unlock code (NCK) will appear in the web interface, which as follows:
After successfully entering the network unlock code, the device becomes “universal” and begins to “understand” SIM cards of any operators. So, in the above screenshot you can see the successful registration of Beeline TS-100 in the YOTA 3G (HSUPA) network.
4G WiFi Router ZTE MF90 from Beeline is a convenient solution for home use when connected to the Internet via 4G. It ensures reliable operation of multiple devices.
The 4G LTE standard allows for asynchronous data exchange through a connection to the Beeline cellular operator at fairly high speeds: up to 100 Mbit/s for reception and up to 50 Mbit/s for data transmission. These speeds are provided with a good radio signal level cellular communications. Client devices are connected to the router using wireless network, working according to the 802.11b, g, n standard. Almost all Wi-Fi devices support it.
Thanks to its small dimensions, comparable to the size of an average smartphone, and light weight (only about 150 grams), the device from Beeline is optimal for connecting to the 4G network while traveling. A convenient option of ZTE MF90 is the ability to connect external antennas technology-enabled wireless connection MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output). This allows you to increase the speed, quality and range of the router and use it as a stationary device for connecting to the Internet. Another small addition makes the router convenient for group work: the ZTE MF90 device supports microSD installation, which allows you to make it a shared storage for data, music or video files.
If there is no high-quality signal in the 4G standard, the ZTE MF90 router can transmit data using 3G and 2G standards.
Characteristics
The router has optimal technical characteristics for home use.
It operates in the following standard ranges:
- digital standard mobile transmission GSM information;
- high speed LTE FDD standard
- universal standard UMTS.
- The highest speed is with the 4G LTE FDD standard: it reaches 100 / 50 Mbit/s in asynchronous mode (reception / transmission).
- The speed of DC-HSPA+ is somewhat lower: the limits are 42 / 6 Mbit/s when transmitting information.
- The speed of EDGE/GPRS is the lowest: it is only 236 Kbps.
The ZTE MF90 WIFI router allows you to support up to 10 user connections over the network. This is more than enough for home use.
MicroSD support allows you to install a memory card up to 32 GB. It is possible to directly connect in access point mode to computers on which OS Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 either Apple Mac OS X 10.6 – 10.8.
Settings
Getting started self-configuration 4G router, you need to take into account an important recommendation from Beeline. Do not make changes to your profile settings unless absolutely necessary. Entering incorrect parameters into the profile settings may result in your router not being able to connect to the Internet.
Installed SIM card and microSD the same as in regular smartphone. Connection to control the device is possible both via a USB connector and via a web interface. When you connect the device to a computer USB input, installation of the control will automatically begin. software. It is not recommended to disconnect the USB connection during the installation of the router management program.
To connect to the device via a wireless network, you must remember the WiFi network SSID and password. This information is listed under back cover devices.
To connect your computer to the router, you need to configure the wireless connection settings to automatically allocate an IP address to the user. The next step is to connect to the device’s control console via a browser at one of two addresses http://m.home/ or http://192.168.0.1.
Let's look at the basic settings that may be useful when using the device.
When you connect to the router for the first time, you must remember to change the administrator access password. The default password on all devices is “admin”. You need to change it by inventing your own to prevent unauthorized people from accessing the device.
The control panel provides the ability to perform routine operations related to reflecting the balance status and replenishing the account.
If you do not want to visit Web pages every time you connect to the network, you need to change the connection parameters. The default option is Manual. By switching the mode to “Automatic”, you bypass the connection settings page.
If you need to access the Internet far from the coverage area of the Beeline cellular operator network, you should select the “Connect to the Internet while roaming” option in the settings. This will give you the opportunity to connect through another mobile provider.
If you use a Beeline SIM card with a tariff that is not included in the “home mobile Internet” group, be prepared for problems. It is possible that access points when connected will not match the settings for of this tariff. The default APN is the line home.beeline.ru. On others tariff plans you will have to use the APN setting: line internet.beeline.ru to select the appropriate profile.
Control
It was mentioned above that it is possible to select frequencies wifi connections— devices. Through the web-based control console, the desired frequency with the required channel bandwidth is selected. If one frequency is overloaded by other devices, you can switch to another.
Changing the frequency is sometimes useful if you have many WiFi devices in your home.
Once you install the SD card, you can configure access to it. On the control panel, access is established via a USB connection or shared access via the HTTP protocol. You can also protect the card by setting it to read-only mode.
The ZTE MF90 has a useful option for economical use of battery power if there is no 220 V voltage source at hand. If client devices are close, you can set the “short wifi radius” parameter. IN this mode During operation, the signal power decreases and the main energy consumer - the radio antenna is switched to an economical operating mode. If for the “small radius” we select a short transition time to standby mode, then autonomous operation The device can reach 2-3 days without recharging. In normal operation, the battery charge lasts for one day.
Beeline provides optimal solution for users who know how to “kill several birds with one stone.” This is an inexpensive but reliable 4G router made in China, complete with convenient communication service packages. mobile internet. The device can distribute the Internet via wireless technology Wi-Fi for up to 10 gadgets at the same time.
The device does not have unnecessary functionality; Beeline selected and sells it for its subscribers WiFi router With good characteristics by data transfer speed and capacity battery. One full charge is usually enough to use a 4G router from morning to evening, and if you set the energy saving mode, then for a couple of days.
Router features
Often, a person who purchases a 4G router simply inserts a SIM card into the device and immediately starts using it WiFi router from Beeline with existing default settings.
4G router functionality
The 4G format provides significant data transfer speeds using the connection provided by the Beeline mobile operator, which reaches 0.1 GBit/s when receiving data and up to 0.05 GBit/s when sending. The router package includes only the essentials: the 4G Wi Fi router itself, a manual, a cable and adapter for charging from a 220 Volt network, and a rechargeable battery.
The device is ideal for trips and trips, as it has small dimensions and very light weight (only 150 g). Additionally, the device has connectors for external antennas, which can increase signal quality. And also this small gadget from Beeline can make its collective use comfortable, thanks to the presence of a microSD slot, in the memory of which you can store various information, video and media files for sharing among friends and colleagues.
In the case when there is no 4G, the device works perfectly with 2G and 3G.
Technical parameters of the Wi-Fi router
The parameters of the 4G device from Beeline are as follows:
- Operates in the 4G LTE FDD standard (speed reaches 0.1 GBit/s when receiving data and up to 0.05 GBit/s when sending);
- The figures are slightly lower with DC-HSPA (42 and 6 MBit/s reception/transmission, respectively);
- The lowest figures for EDGE/GPRS are 236 KBit/s.
The device can simultaneously provide access to the World Wide Web for ten gadgets with Wi-Fi function. It is possible to use microSD up to 32 Gb.

Setup procedure
Beeline employees, when selling this Wi-Fi router, warn against making adjustments to the profile settings, which often cause problems with the operation of the device. If the user already has experience installing a SIM card into a phone, then he can easily cope with a similar procedure for a Wi-Fi router on his own. The connection for changing parameters is provided both via a USB socket and via a web page. If you connect the router to a PC via a USB connector, the software will be installed automatically.
Note: specialists from Beeline categorically prohibit disconnecting the USB plug while installing the Wi-Fi network parameters settings application.
The action algorithm consists of the following sequential steps:
In areas where there is no coverage mobile communications from Beeline, the settings provide a special function, to activate which you simply need to check the box “Connect to a network while roaming”. If you use this option, the Internet will continue to work thanks to the provision of cellular network services by another operator.
You can manually specify the connection frequencies of Wi-Fi devices. It is necessary, as indicated above, to enter the web settings and specify the optimal frequency. If there are too many connected gadgets on the channel you are using, you should switch to an unoccupied one. 
Micro SD card
It is possible to share information, data, media and video files from an SD memory card with friends and colleagues. To do this, you need to set the appropriate parameters in the Control Panel, as shown in the figure below.
For security purposes and to maintain the integrity of stored files on the memory card, it is recommended to set the “read only” checkbox.
How to save battery charge on your Wi-Fi device?
To resolve this issue, you need to do the following:
- Enter the “Device” section;
- Next, go to the “Energy Saving” tab and check the “Small wi-fi radius” checkbox;
- Click "Apply".
Since the main charge hog in the device is the antenna, reducing the distance to Internet-consuming smartphones and tablets will significantly reduce the energy consumption of the device’s battery.
