Hello guys, is it only me or is the ODU network this night in Enugu really terrible. It doesn't go above 3 Mbps.

You are not alone. It's been terrible since 3:30pm or thereabout

aribitoye:
The ODU internet connection is down atm. Who noticed it?

Spot on.. there's nothing I haven't done to mine thinking it's peculiar to me.

williams85:
Can someone confirm the battery capacity of the new model router.

5000mah

Twistkihd:
Please house, my router network trips off time to time and this happens multiple times in a day. Any solution as to how I can make the network stable without going off ?

Mine does same. Network will just disappear. The router will still show all the network signals but it'll disappear from devices. Till I unplug and replug it.

Obviouslyblunt:
it is being reported that Airtel increases subscription price after the first one. Although not officially confirmed.

Abeg, those that have resubscribed, is this true?

akinremedy:
i got it the day the installer was supposed to come

Akin, answer me on WhatsApp naa

dustmalik:
It could be. Go here https://airtel(dot)com(dot)ng/broadband-recharge

Input the ODU number and try to fetch your data balance.

How do I rectify this?

dustmalik:
Have you tested this specific one and it works? If so, kindly post a link to it.

Yes. I'm using it now. Got it from a computer store for 6k

paparazy06:
Does the ODU work with Airtel Android Box

Ok. Update. It works. Thanks to akinremedy who have me the step by step.

Buy the attached, then get an Ethernet cable and use it to run the connection

paparazy06:
Does the ODU work with Airtel Android Box

It doesn't. I have both. Tested with Ethernet. It didn't work

dustmalik:
Are you getting 5G on the router?

Nope. 5G ain't in my area

saint2ace:
Can we see a full picture of the box? G5F + MP?

Here it is

fuckboys:
go into the router settings and check if it has an update, if it doesn’t then either the router is not wifi 6 capable or your phone is not WiFi 6 compatible.

Maybe it's my phone

fuckboys:
Most Samsung phones will show 6 on the wifi signal bar, which is wifi 6.

This is S23 connected to X25pro.

When I first checked, it was on 5. Now it's on 4

Hullabaloon:
Where will I see the IMEI?

861053070033

dustmalik:
Kindly post a picture of the outdoor device. Is the indoor router WiFi6?

The place they mounted it, it's a difficult angle to snap. Here's the picture on the carton

And how do I check of the indoor is WiFi 6?

Yokozuna01:
Can I get the IMEI of the device?
You don’t have to send me the complete IMEI,
Maybe the first 12 or 11 numbers will do.


I guess they switched to ZTE again.

I’m trying out something, if it works out.
I’ll share my discovery.

Where will I see the IMEI?

maklelemakukula:
Kindly take a picture of what you got

The outdoor unit is largely same. Here's the indoor unit

Brethren, I already have the 4g smart box which has been disastrous. It's only the fact it made my tv Android TV that I like.

If I buy the ODU, can I use it to supply data to the smartbox and stream content?

I finally got my ODU today. It's a brand new version different from the ones all of you are using. So new even the installers had initial difficulty in setting it up. But it's all up and running now.

It has an Ethernet port and cable so I plugged in my smartbox hoping it will work by but it's not. It recognises that ethernet was plugged in but it doesn't show any network.

When I go to network settings inside the smartbox, I see this. Dunno what to input there that might make this work. Or even what to tweak in the router settings

This Airtel don scam us o they just cut us off at 10/10

What you talking about?

bolargeez:
The Smartbox media streamer has a wifi, it's just that you have to disconnect it for the wifi to work. If you know...

Is is a technical something?

dustmalik:
In case you are unable to get an adapter with a USB A male, then you will need a USB Type C female to USB type A male converter, like the one in the screenshot below

Does the ODU come with an Ethernet cable?

saint2ace:
For those having issues, the ODU Subscription plan is no longer available i.e 25k for 50MBps and 45k for 100MBps. What's available now is just the regular 30k for 20MBps etc

Is it a temporal problem? Or permanent?

Has anyone used their ODU more than 2 weeks? Been going through people's experiences on Twitter and 90 percent of people are saying it becomes frustrating after two weeks.

The reviews are really that bad and terrible.

fuckboys:
this is a good speed, with ODU or 5G Router you’ll get even better speeds than this.

But then, the ODU is capped at 50mbps right?

dustmalik:
I disabled 5G on the ODU, so it's strictly 4G+ now, and I am getting the full upload speed

Does the upload speed have any gainful effect on streaming?

fuckboys:
dude it depends on how good Airtel is in your area. I get 4 of 5bars of network service on my router and I stream 1080p without buffering.

On the 25mbps plan.

I did a speed test with normal Airtel data and I got this. Does it mean the speed is good in my area?

Czsamanie:
Later got mine yesterday, and the installer came to fix it in the evening.

It was Esim though, the sim number is written on the box. There's a barcode on the inside-unit to just scan and recharge for subsequent months.

But I heard from someone that there's even a sim port inside it for physical sim when one is done with the first month. I'll try to take the ODU down and see whether the port is actually there. The manual shows it is there though.

Have you tried live streaming with it?

Has anyone tried live stream with theirs?

I'm only planning to get the ODU cos I want to ditch DSTV. Wanna know if it handles 720p or 1080p content flawlessly

KingOfC:
Alright, I'm also getting there. I replied to the email you sent, perhaps you missed it.

Yeah. I don't have access to the email again.

If you get there and you see a red spider parked. Know it's me.

In fact, come online on Twitter. I just followed you. Open your dm there for easier communication

KingOfC:
Hello, have you reached their office yet?

Not yet

On my way. It's a 30 mins drive for me

KingOfC:
Are you serious? Then I'll be there by 9 too because I don't know the kind of person that attended to me. Thank you for the information.

Send me your number. Let's meet there.
