Hullabaloon: You are very correct. I was getting 60mbps on mtn yesterday normal data, yet I couldn't stream premier league match at decent quality without it buffering. Tried another app and it was streaming well on HD resolution but no English commentary. Frustration wan kill me.
Thankfully nepa brought light and I switched to DSTV why don't you install dstv stream on your phone and register with your dstv uid no. You will be able to watch dstv on your phone |

morikee: Likely unstable when doing the readings even on video stream quality it might buffer or might be a glitch in the readings Videos has never buffered since I got this ODU. I stream on 1080p. |

dustmalik: Most times, I get the full 50Mbps speed. I guess yours is not mounted outside, right? most times my speed test is about 65mbps

NSEstudent: That position is the balanced optimal point I can get within the location. Other mounting points would require taking the ODU outside, which I don't want.
Yes, I locked 491,3256. The signal is always available here. The SINR value ranges from 18 to 23.
When I was using X25, SINR was rarely up to 8 on the locked band7, but it was decent and did well. When I first started using the ODU, the band7 was performing well, but I think Airtel became worse in the last few days. You need to take your ODU outside. I was having similar issues when I first installed mine inside. The speed was good sometime and bad sometimes. I decided to mount it outside. Since then, cell reception has been amazing. |

NSEstudent: Please are you able to visit pexels dot com seamlessly?
Did you connect through dynamic mode or you set up the static IP option?
I don't know why Airtel is struggling to open this site in all my routers. I have to always use a VPN before it works well. it is not only pexels.com. Sometimes even my whatsapp won't send and receive messages without VPN. I think it is an issue with the 5ghz channel. I have been using the 2.4ghz channel and nothing of such happened. |

dollarnaira: "Hot sun" everywhere even those with 1 panel will raise high shoulder while those with "over" panels will have their batteries fully charged too early especially when not home. Lifepo4 hates cells staying at fully charged state for hours. Plenty energy without use.
This period my fans and freezer will run run run till battery drain to norminal voltage or 20% bc the next day it is guaranteed that it will shine as early as 8am. This year's weather is the best ever---after rain, come the sun few minutes later--- unusual climate change. Free energy sweet jor  |

paparazy06: If I switch to physical SIM, Will it work on normal phone if not, will it work on Airtel 5G router.
Kindly Note: The esim is for Airtel ODU Don't put the odu sim in a 4g device. The sim will stop working as a router sim. Your unlimited 50mbps will be cancelled. |

If you are having issues with low speed, buffering and all on the odu. I think the culprit is the airtel 50mbps dns server. Since last night I was having good speed from my speedtes but my videos were buffering, some websites won't open. It happened till this morning. Then I decided to use VPN, immediately everything worked perfectly. I disconnected the VPN to test if the network became better on its own but without the VPN I was having same issue. VPN seems to have solved my problem. Let's see how it goes |

Hullabaloon: It's not same issue I was having but try my solution let's see if it will work. Go to wifi settings on your ODU and disable single SSID. I can't seem to log into the zlt odu. 192.168.254.1 isn't working for me. This evening I was still connected to the router but no internet till I restarted my router |

Rokynwastar: Lol, rookie numbers bro. I went there 6 times before I had my issues resolved. On 3 different occasions, it was nimc portal being down.
The 6th day, when nimc went down, I vowed that if I left without resolving my problems, I'll cut my losses and move on with life. A 25k router isn't worth the stress.
Luckily for me, nimc went through when other people's were failing.
Just be patient and make sure you go early in the morning because nimc portal gets overloaded during the day. I just renewed my 20mbps today. Maybe next month |

Trafford: (1) 5kwh lithium battery 1m
5pieces of 600w Jinko panel 100k ×10=500k
5kva 24v non hybrid inverter =480k
100ah MPPT Change controller=210k
6mm cable wire 3800 × 25m = 95k
AC breaker= 10k
DC breaker=12k
Breaker box = 8k
Panel rack =24k
Above is the quote I got. He is using felicity. I don’t intend to use light to charge it as I want to slowly leave grid as cost of band A is becoming unbearable. There is 5 TVs in the house one 42 LCD, and the rest are 42 led, and 65 led in the sitting room. I have inverter ACs and freezer but I don’t intend to use it with the package yet unless maybe during the day or when I have upgraded. I still want to be using a bit of grid to mix up in the interim until full up is done with time. Yes next year is close but not early next year as it will later end. Just as you stated, fees and the likes definitely waiting as well. So i just want to get this to help reduce cost of grid, while I plan to phase it off completely.
Thanks for your input. This person no like you at all |
