This is the best hack so far, tested and trusted. My guy's issue has just been resolved now after 10days of hell. He can browse now and the ODU payment option is now back, expiry date extended from 10th to 16th October.

When you call just tell those first responders you want their supervisor straight up. Cheers
If Airtel gets this ODU thing well, it will reflect well in their books.

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

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

This is S23 connected to X25pro.

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.

It depends on your phone. It's typically indicated by the WiFi signal

One thing I don't like about the ODU router is that it consumes a lot of battery. The power bank last around 3hrs and if you're using additional type c to 12voult cord so that you can use your phone power bank it still draws a lot of power too

it's powering 2 devices, the outdoor antenna unit and the indoor router.

That's the only downside for a better network reception, more power consumption.

As fuckboys said, it powers two devices but I have been observing mine for two days now, when powered with batteries, my network goes on and off but powering directly from AC/electricity the network stays. Deductively, the battery may not be powering it enough.

Guys having network issues should observe this as well.

Are you getting 5G on the router?

EduTechTainMent:
You can try the ussd method to subscribe if this doesn't work for you.
Which method?

I see no reason why it shouldn't work for your own ODU plan. Which ODU plan are you on by the way?
I'm on the 25k for 50Mbps plan.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by frank155(m): 5:05pm On Oct 12, 2025
dustmalik:
If you have an alternate Airtel number, recharge the line with 25k or 45k as the case may be. log it into My Airtel app. Go to Buy Bundles, input your ODU number up there and then go to Data pack
Hmm. This works too. I thought I already tried it 🤔

Nope. 5G ain't in my area

This is exactly what I was explaining above but someone said he couldn't find hi subscription plan on the app
The first time I tried it, it's the normal data plans I saw.

I think I was suffering from that general issue.

I seized the opportunity to plead with the man to help use his influence to get us 5G in my area. He said he'll try. Last week, he called me while at work that 5G is live in my area. I couldn't wait to get home and boom.... 5G was live for real on my Router. The format works 💯
Ah! Just like that?

Do this:

1. Call CC
2. When they pick, tell them to go through the records of your router line. Ensure you have the router number to call to them.
3. Usually, first responders don't know jack about router lines, so tell them to forward the call to their supervisors any time they say something untoward. They normally say you have exhausted the data. Tell them it's unlimited and should be time based and not data based.
4. You are vexed obviously, but don't show it, at least not yet. Be intent on communicating effectively about what happened, and be factual about it too.
5. The supervisor will go through the records and reset the date to the actual date. Ensure you tell them the date you subscribed or registered the line, as the case may be; and make sure the date is correct o.

During that bad period, I called them many times. They must have taken notice of my repeated calls because the calls were recorded. It could be because of me that they reset some people to 10th because the initial expiry date for the sub I did was 9/10, but after fixing it, they moved it one day ahead to 10/10/2025 which I have renewed and still using with no problems.

Good luck.
Thanks a lot, this really works. Got an extra week sef
