My Review On The Airtel 5G Unlimited Router by Pastorjohn2(op): 2:40pm On Jun 23, 2024
So this device cost me #50k and you should be able to get it at any Airtel official store.
The first month is free and you pay for the next month after that.

So, This device is actually unlimited. They weren't lying, I have used more than 120gb and it's still going.
Downloaded gta V on my laptop, Updated every single app on both my phone and laptop. I even started thinking of what to use my data on grin

It's quite nice and odd to actually have unlimited data in this country.

The only cons of this is the network connection slow. I'm on the cheapest plan which is 20k unlimited and I only get 20mbps max (2mb/s) on rare occasions when internet is good it breaks the cap into 5mb/s but quickly goes back to 2mb/s.
So if you want more speed, You have to spend more money.

Apart from that, it's pretty solid if you're someone like me that downloads games of 30gb-100gb.


Oh and be ready to wait because it took me more than 24 hours to download a file of 108gb.

The battery is OK, let's say around 3-5 hours. I have never really counted so am giving a rough estimate because I use it 90% of the time while charging.

What's the essence of the 5g, if the network still lags
Re: My Review On The Airtel 5G Unlimited Router by eteebanky1: 9:28am On Jun 24, 2024
Wow, truly unlimited with no cap

But 2MB/s won't be Good for downloading o

But if it can stream at 720p without buffering, then I'm cool with it

Naija Internet is scam... No network provider can give you up to 10mb/s but they claim it's 5G... But in the real sense we're currently using 3G...
5gb file will take up to 30min or more to download, nonsense, yet they claim it's 5G

It's better you give quality but expensive services than to give services that even a beggar will reject.

I don't mind paying 10k or more for 2gb data and it's 5G internet speed than to pay 500naira for 6gb while using 2G internet speed

If the network is extremely good then, yes you won't get any buffering but assuming it's average. It'll buffer.

there's different subscription options. If you want faster connection you just have to be willing to pay extra for it.

Download the airtel app and go to the data section. You'll see unlimited next to the plans.

Anything with unlimited 20, unlimited 40 and unlimited 60 are the unlimited data plans for the router.

How long does it last with the power bank connected to it only. Can it last for out door use only.. business connections eg POS
Re: My Review On The Airtel 5G Unlimited Router by geswith: 10:07pm On Aug 11, 2024
to enjoy this to the fullest. you will need a power bank with an AC Connection to plug your extension and power the two devices.

I wouldn't recommend it for something such a pos business. The battery last around 3-4 hours from my experience.

If you are looking to sell off your airtel router, I am looking to buy one. I read one of threads where you have ported to starlink.
Happy streaming, downloading and surfing

Powerbank and 5v to 12v converter cable is all you need.

I would suggest you delve a bit deeper into researching this matter before drawing such conclusions buddy.

At the cost of N5000 for a data value of 30gb (unlimited, or so they say) on the MTN 5G broadband device, i get up to 400mbps around certain parts of lagos, Surulere and Sangotedo especially.
