WCDMA is 3G, LTE is 4G. Kindly take note. Put your band 7 on Lte only and see your speed improve from that poor 11mbps.

dustmalik:
I watched your video simply out of curiosity. 'WCDMA Only' means '3G Only'. That's why your speed is poor. 11Mbps is extremely poor, especially when you have an unlimited plan.

Network is horrible in my area too. In fact, I can't get that 11Mbps anywhere within my house. However, after the installer installed the ODU router in a strategic position close to my roof, I am now getting 80+Mbps on 4G.

Do you have an idea why my Samsung phone no more sees my MiFi wifi network to connect to but my infinix phone still connects to it.

My neighbor uses the 5g router, his PS5 sees the 2.5ghz but not the 5ghz even though it’s just in the next room separated by a wall. He has to connect his phone to it then share it to his PS5. Anyone experiencing this or with a solution?

let him turn on 5G Optimization in the router settings.

IYGEAL:
You mean ODU or the ZLT X25?

X25 has an option where you chose 5G optimization or something like that. When you do that, you don't see the 5GHz SSID for devices that support but see the main SSID. What happens is that devices which support 5GHz will connect to the main SSID as 5GHz whereas all others will connect to the main SSID as 2.4GHz. You will know which one is connected to which one when you login to the router interface and check the connections.

If you don't select that optimization option, however, and your PS5 doesn't see the 5GHz SSID, it can mean a few things:
1. The PS5 does not support 5GHz. Many devices don't.
2. There is a strong enough barrier that blocks the 5GHz signal. You already said there is a wall. Most walls won't block it but still...

5GHz, while faster, is prone to physical barrier blockages, and it travels smaller distance than 2.4GHz. You can still have good enough speeds with 2.4GHz, depending on your use case.

I have my Airtel ODU now, I tried adding the router number to my Airtel app so that I can do subsequent subscriptions myself, unfortunately it is failing. What can be done?

frank155:
Does anyone using the ODU experience random speed and signal drop?

Sometimes I can barely get upto 2 MBps (16 Mbps) while other times, I can't even browse. When this happens, I have to reboot the device.

I'm in this dire situation.

Hey @pheranme9 I bought the Airtel 5G router just yesterday and stumbled upon this thread today. I’m curious—can you tell me if the data is genuinely unlimited, or is there a cap? I tend to use a lot of data!

Hullabaloon:
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.

EduTechTainMent:
You don't need to do this. You can still use the airtel smartcash app. Just download the smartcash app and login using your regular airtel line. Provided you have a smartcash account, all you need to do is login into the account, click on buy bundle, select the hbb/router and choose the unlimited 20 subscription or any other one you are interested in.

Using this method doesn't show the plan for my ODU.

@akinremedy, is this true?

akinremedy:
look for someone you yrist that can do the sub for you

this has been the case for me. Got the ODU on the Sep 17, and have been enjoying it with steady speeds of around 40-55Mbps but all of a sudden on friday night (Oct 3, 2025) till today (Oct 7, 2025), the internet stopped totally on the ODU just like that, i've restarted it over 50 times since the first time it happened and nothing worked. i even called customer care to complain and then they told me they'll work on it and then 2 days later, i got a text saying the issue was fixed, but then it only worked for like 5 minutes and stopped totally again, idk if it's network related because i have full 4G+ signal bars on the router. sometimes when i restart it'll be extremely slow that i cant even load a page. the service is really great for anyone who wants to get it but these past few days have been too stressful to say the least!

akinremedy:
that is mot true.

saint2ace:
I can relate with this, a friend has the exact same problem, even the dates the issues started is the same. I hope they're not dumping people batch by batch.

pheranme9:
According to report getting to us from people using high volume of data it has been Stated that once you reach the 1Tb mark it gets throttled. Max I've used before is around 300gb and I doubt I will be getting to those numbers soon

unfortunately, i think this is the case, and then even though the plan hasn't expired yet (expires on Oct 17, 2025), it's still not working. on top of that, the 50MBPS for 25K plan isn't showing anymore, only the 20MBPS plan for 30K is available on the app for the ODU device's number.
