Maybe it's not. But I'm wondering why it might not be. Usually the differences in sister devices like these are very few.

Are you using the G5FA? I would have had an experience with it but my guy who would have gotten it for himself hesitated and the device finished at the Airtel office here. Now they are back with X17U.

NSEstudent:
It's the same on mobile.

So i have been following the thread for awhile now and i have learnt a lot from all of u. I also want to give a small update I just discovered. So i have this m30 mifi that has wan port and i decided to use it in place of the idu so as to reduce the bulk and battery consumption when moving it around. Lo and behold, it worked like a charm and the battery now lasts way over 12hrs since it's only the odu that's now connected to it. So basically, the idu was the main culprit on the power bank since it uses dc power. This also means, if u have any mifi that has a wan port on it, doesn't matter if it's mtn or airtel, it will work.

I don't think so, it only happens 6pm to 11pm since 4days now... Normal Airtel work without issue except ODU sim... I have seen someone complain about issue like this before. Maybe it is my turn to experience it.

Right now it is back fully until tomorrow 6pm again

nurez305:
How did you guy solve the issue of bad network? My internet speed has dropped to less than 1mbps since yesterday night and this is not as a result of using above 1Tb. It came back around 11pm yesterday and I was getting 50mbps and today it went back to below 1mbps. What can be done to resolve this situation??

NSEstudent:
Those numbers he mentioned are not PCIs. They are band frequencies.

Tover:
Which band did you lock to .. wen U check the data usage what did you see there , most times ppl will join your network and use your data without your permission, na 1 person U go give Ur password b4 U know it .more than 10 ppl has joined

Greetings to everyone
I was using the odu in Lagos(worked flawlessly) but moved to akure.
I get around 30-40 mbps in the morning but from 8am
It becomes unusable(not up to 1mbps) and only band 8 & 3 are available here.
It's mounted on a pole with clear sight(no obstructions)

NSEstudent:
It's location problem, probably.

And na Huawei ODU be this

willian10:
which ODU model do u have and how have u been able to make it work with an app?

michlins:
do you understand how difficult it is to do business in Nigeria. Loans are at 30% at least, taxes in Nigeria are multiple,complex and never complete. Government is always changing the rules, you lay fibre today,they realign roads and uproot everything. I know how many times fibre has been laid around my house that ended up being damaged. While being laid, you pay every community for accessing their locality and stuff. So no, it's not easy here

dustmalik:
Why should anyone pay 200k for a 1Gbps plan? In Europe, you can get up to 10Gbps for less than 30k in some countries. That's 10x the speed of 1Gbps.

We have been conditioned by these service providers to believe they're doing us a favor or that we don't deserve better.

lilclin:
All ODU I've seen have physical SIM because the outdoor units are same model and that's where you can insert SIM

Starlord99:
Oh okay, that's similar to the available bands at my side. See if you can aggregate multiple bands with B7. It has poor latency on its own.

fuckboys:
nice uploads speed, but I’d like to see you run the speed tests again around 8/9pm of the day.

Starlord99:
Curious to see which 4G Bands your router chose to settle on for those speeds 🤔

olujosh301:
It has been awesome but I stay at ajah axis
4g, 4g+ and 5g are all crazy fast and I use it for my kodi playlist, iptv, streaming matches all in 4k without sweat. My odu is just on the floor not yet outside and it's performance is very good

Starlord99:
You are welcome my boss 🙏
Feel free to ask about this Huawei Setup.

I also see you got your system from Matis Mall and are potentially near me, how is connection in your area like?

Starlord99:
You can't switch to only 5G on Huawei ODU. It operates on 5G NSA (Non-Stand Alone) meaning it must be paired with 4G to work.

However, you can attempt to change it by going to 192.168.118.1 on your desktop browser and navigate to Advanced -> System -> System Settings -> Developer Options -> Network Mode.

Among the options you'll see:
SA (Stand Alone),
NSA (Non Stand Alone)
SA+NSA
...
...

SA is 5G only. Default is NSA. If your connection stops working you can go back to Default.

NSEstudent:
Got it in Lagos?

Ebubemg:
I think Huawei odu may be the best, both the odu and idu have all the necessary settings for everything, airtel is very poor in my area but I'm getting this with 5g and it's stable as long as it remains in 5g , but with 4g the speed won't even be up to 1mbps, that's how bad the network is
The Yeye installer even did a terrible job, he mount it vertically.

dollarnaira:
Do you have active balancers?

Ayomipoe:
I swear. They practically have different flyers and marketing materials for Nigeria, slightly inflating their KWh

Rumplesteelskin:
Thanks for the follow up. Yes, I did. After it went off at 20.8v, I disconnected the battery and used an external 20a charger to charge, and I arrived at a different conclusion. The battery recommended charge current is 40a and all my power sources are under 40, 30a mostly. I figured the battery require serious charge current from 26.4v upward and my charging sources can't provide that. From 26.5 to 26.6 takes almost an hour with the 20a charger. With this charger, I would need like 14 hours for a full charge.

My options now are either to upgrade the inverter to one that charges from 40a and above, or get an external charger above 40a.
