Hey! Personally for me, "modem mode" is very useful featurewhich is rarely used (once half a year), but apt. And recently there has been an adulterant story. I needed to quickly distribute the Internet at aid iPhone - I entered the settings in the setting to turn on the modem mode and ... it turned out that such an option is simply no - it disappeared!

"We must reboot, suddenly" glitch "some kind?!" - I thought, but did not fix the situation. Maybe I'm bad looking? I climbed over all settings and did not find anything. Apple deleted modem mode! However, on the iPad with the last firmware everything was in place - the possibility of distribution of the Internet did not disappear anywhere. So what changed? Why did everything worked before, but now not?

The answer was very simple - Recently, I often changed the SIM cards in my iPhone and at one fine moment (after the next change sim) for some reason, the operator settings were not prescribed. No settings - the phone does not know that with this SIM card you can distribute the Internet - the modem mode disappeared.

How to fix everything:

Although, as a rule, it is enough just to specify APN. Where to take this data? Here is a sign for the most popular cellular operators:

	APN.	Username	Password
MTS	internet.mts.ru.	mTS.	mTS.
Beeline	internet.beeline.ru.	beeline.	beeline.
Megaphone	internet	gDATA.	gDATA.
Tele 2	internet.tele2.ru.	Do not specify	Do not specify
Yota.	internet	gDATA.	gDATA.

If your operator differs from the above, then:

• Try to specify the Internet in the APN row, and the username and password are not filling.
• Write in the comments - we will understand together!

That's all, after these manipulations, the "Modem mode" item will appear in the settings menu of your iPhone or iPad. For loyalty, you can restart the device.

But even this can not guarantee that the distribution of the Internet will work. Why? Because when you click on the "Modem mode", this is such an inscription.

Setting the modem mode. To enable modem mode for this account Contact Carrier.

What does it mean?

• "Carrier" suggests that the iPhone "does not know" what the name is your cellular operator and its settings. Therefore, calls him "Carrier" is a common name. More information about this inscription -.
• Under the "Call in Carrier" is meant that you will be called in support of your cellular operator. Perhaps this sim card does not support or blocked the distribution of the Internet to other devices. So, the modem mode will not work.

Although, most often, the whole thing is again in the device settings.

Open "Settings - Data Settings - Cell Data Transmission Network" and fill absolutely all lines, and not just those that relate to the modem mode. Restart the iPhone or iPad - everything should earn without any problems!

Perhaps the article can be completed. How to return the modem mode I told, why we learned to contact Carrier, and if you have any questions, feel free to write them in the comments. Tell what!

Some users after iOS updates, surprised to find that in the settings modem has disappeared. To return the lost option on the iPhone or iPad, you will need APN data, a username and password, to find out the operator.

In contact with

Unfortunately, the APN data, the username and password, are not the same for all cellular operators and often depend on the specific tariff plan.

How to enable modem mode on iPhone or iPad

2 . Go along the way cellular -> Cellular data network. In iOS 10, this path is slightly different - cellular -> Data settings -> Cellular data network.

The reason was hidden in the peculiarities of local operators - in particular Beeline and MTS. But Apple finally remembered about the clients of the "big triple" and updated packages network settings For iPad and Russian telecom operators. Modem mode has finally become available to everyone.

MTS:

• APN: internet.mts.ru.
• Username: MTS
• Password: MTS.

Beeline:

• APN: internet.beeline.ru.
• Username: Beeline
• Password: Beeline.

After that, turn off and turn on the iPad. If in the settings and then modem mode does not appear, you need to reset the network settings. This is done in the settings -\u003e Main -\u003e Reset -\u003e Resetting network settings. Do not slip! And remember: after this action you will need to re-enter all passwords from Wi-Fi.

If this action does not help ... Boldly go to your operator and replace the SIM card to the new one. As a rule, modem mode does not appear on many microsistokes, independently "cut" iPhone times 4.

That's all. Now you can use the modem mode. Simultaneously via Wi-Fi can be connected to 5 devices. In the Modem mode section, you can change the password from your Wi-Fi access point. Be sure to leave it closed (WPA2) and follow the traffic, if you do not use unlimited tariffs for iPad. Main plus access points on iPad compared with iPhone - 25 hours autonomous work In this mode!
