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

5000mah

Obviouslyblunt:
you would have gone ahead with that Starlink if you can. Airtel 50mbps after first subscription is 45k, Starlink 1000mbps monthly 57k .

He would have gone ahead if he can afford it since these ISPs don't want to learn to optimize their services like Starlink is doing.

Meanwhile, the price increase is false and you really should not post it if you didn't confirm it. I renewed at 22.5k (25k minutes 10%), which anyone can do for the 50mbps speed, via SmartCash.

They still reduced my sub expiry date for God-knows-why. Of course I will be on their neck when that date draws near.

Have you gotten the physical sim version you have been looking for? I am also looking.

Guys, I have bad news for heavy data users. After using 1TB of data, my speed has been capped at 2Mbps. I have restarted severally to see if it would change, but it's hard-capped.

The device was installed on the 30th September, the last day of September. If you look at the screenshot below, you will see that I have used 980GB this month. It's not including the data I used on the 30th September, which would have indicated the entire 1TB.

I had hoped that this would not happen. It's clear to me that this is not for me. I typically use up to 2TB per month on my Starlink. I'm 100% sticking to Starlink, nothing comes close to it in this country. If 1TB is a lot for you, then this is good for you. The speed was consistent throughout the period I used it until I hit the 1TB.

It's 25k. I checked using the new line. I just hope they send an installer my way today.

Meanwhile I didn't get confirmation email from Airtel. How does this installer thing work sef? I'll wait for call or what?

these are the mails you would get from AIRTEL

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 ?

i noticed the UPS that came with the Router isn't powerful enough to power the device. The network stays if connected to the grid unlike using the UPS alone. That's what i noticed

No. Not sure it's going to be available in the foreseeable future. As someone who's always on the move, the ODU is a no no for me. I may get it anyway, for fear of it being exorbitant soon.

So, it has FUP that is hidden. Airtel would have made it known.

But boss, wetin dey zap all that data? Mining or streaming?

Anyway, it's obvious it's not for you. 1TB is good enough for me at my current level of data usage.

We hope for the best.

I didn't get any of this but my device is already active.

I contacted the office and I was told the installer will contact me regardless, that they've logged it and waiting for him to come and pick up. Fingers crossed

Just imagine. How about plugging it via the battery of the X25pro. Will that make it stable if there's no grid?

I see. I use between 5-600gb monthly so I think this will be just fine for me. But I can't deal with poor network as in the case of the X25 pro. I just hope this can meet up with my needs without interruptions.

When you say router are you talking about this new ODU or the 5G router?

I use up to 500gb or more on the 5G router and this would have been more but because of the poor network from that router. Now i feel like if this ODU is stable i would be hitting this same 1TB and i hate slow network. Airtel should have just announced it has FUP. Thank God is just 25k e for vex me.

980gb is more than enough for most people especially at that price point

So yesterday i paid for my ODU and was shown my device, i even connected to it because the guy wanted to brag about the speed of the ODU after I complained to him about the poor network of the 5G router. But unfortunately i got connected and the speed was showing 200kbps during speed test. The guy felt disappointed and started putting calls only to find out they had a network downtime that moment. I left the office without seeing the speed in mbps. I just pray i don't have the same experience with this ODU , i have really suffered with their 5G router. I'm supposed to get my installer today. I'll be hoping he comes to install it ASAP.

I wanted to go for the Airtel ODU but I was told what's available is the latest model with Ethernet port battery . I have to abort mission. There is no way I can improvise with a power bank .

Streaming, mostly. A couple of TVs, phones and other devices.

You can improvise with a power bank using a 5v to 12v dc converter cable. It goes for 6k.

I got like 3-5mb at their office. But on 5G router I get above 20mbps during the day.

I thought as much

I paid today too and they said I should go that an installer will contact me within the next 24 hours to 48 hours. I forgot to collect their number. Did you collect number?

itel pulse powerbank supports 12v you can comfortably use it as backup if you can get the cable

The latest model has a different port to power both the outdoor and indoor unit.
Power bank is not an option at the moment

williams85:

It will work. The battery has 2 12v ports. One for input (from power), then the other for Output (To router).

So you plug your dc converter cable, 5v USB side to ur powerbank, and then the 12v side to the battery bank and it should come on.

I checked to confirm the ports at the Airtel Office yesterday.

Now I understand,
But won't it be an issue connecting a power bank to a power bank.
Hope you understand what I mean?

No it won't. It's just a dc power supply.

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

Best way , you use the follow come power bank for the outdoor unit, so it can last well, and u use a separate power bank to power the indoor router using PoE splitter....that way you get maximum standby that last for the day

Alternatively you buy 2 ODU, use one power bank for the out door and the second power bank for the indoor , u will just alternate the subscription, if you subscribe to one this month, you subscribe to the second the following month , such that each device is only one month out ...Airtel policy is you must not fail to sub 3 month consecutively
That way you have two good solid battery that can last the day

Is network currently going for Airtel users? (The other way).

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