What is the type c port meant for? Also, I thought the new ODU Version has its own power point and not powered through the iDU.

Mostly for firmware repair

Airtel out of service here

Oh I see, it replaced the regular usb port on older device. Thanks.

Every1 that are having problems with Airtel network issues, should try this settings

in your internet settings, change your network band to 7... U can also check the bands one after the other to know which one is better, after that go to the settings , you will see 4g settings.. change form 4g lock to Wcdma and press okay

Pls let me know if it works for you because I have helped lot of ppl in my area with the settings and they are enjoying it

You can check the video for a better understanding

Can this work with this new ODU version?

Cc: Anelka2021

Noticing something with this ODU

With zero Airtel signal on my phone, I'm still able to capture about 2Mbps from the ODU.

I'd say impressive. On X25pro this equals to zero internet for me.

Mind you my place is very peculiar with terrible signals. So far so good, I think this is a great buy. Fingers crossed.

akinremedy:
it should not pain you bro. I guess you intend to use it in another device? It's possible if that's what you want

Pls explain how

Terrible Airtel network over here tonight.

Get max of 5Mbps on my x25 pro and my ODU is fluctuating between 16Mbps and 30Mbps

Indeed Airtel signal has been really bad tonight. But at the moment I'm also doing 16-18Mbps.

The only time I get up to 50Mbps is at night and in the morning. From afternoon it’s usually 16-30 Mbps, then 16-18 by evening. This is after elevating my antenna.

if you purchase the ODU that comes with E-sim, just go to those roadside shops to do a sim swap/welcome back for that Esim into a physical sim to use it on any other device. Mind you, do not visit the main Airtel office. The moment you do a sim swap, automatically the ODU esim settings will be deactivated for you to now insert physical sim in the sim slot

This is quite thoughtful. But has this exact route been explored though?

I was also conjecturing if registering a fresh Sim as HBB using IMEI and SN of the router will produce a good result.

Meklex:
yes

Is this the latest version of the ODU?

Please does anyone knows how I can check when my ODU subscription will expire?

Check on your mobile app

Mykcool:
Check on your mobile app

I can’t login the mobile app cos for whatever reason, I’m not getting OTP messages on the ODU

If you have an Airtel line in a phone, dial *323# to check the data status of the ODU number.

using another Airtel line in a phone, dial *323*2# then input the ODU number to confirm your expiry date

The ideal situation is that you have a normal Airtel sim before purchasing ODU. During registration, you first provide your normal Airtel Sim as the alternate Sim. This makes everything easier.

You should already have Airtel app if the above is true. So after registration, you add the ODU Sim as another account on the app. You can always monitor it there. If you have SmartCash, better; because you will get 10% discount when you sub.

MageSkrillex:
Same here. They told me to come for re registration lol

How far? Have they fixed your issue.....?

justinguru:
is that a type c port i see beside the sim slot

yes

there's no 25k for 50mbps on smartcash

It should work if it has settings for it

Bro, kindly assist with the iyanapaja Airtel office address. A friend urgently need to buy the ODU from there.

Meklex:

Exactly, I have checked too and there is no 25k 50mbps plan there.

You guys probably don't know how it works.

1. Go to the original Airtel app to initiate the subscription.
2. You should use the same phone as the one with SmartCash (this may not be a problem).
3. Choose SmartCash as payment option. You should see SmartCash as an option; just select the 'proceed' option behind it.

The above is how it works for me and I have below conditions.
1. All my router lines were registered using my main Airtel line as the alternate number. This may not be a determining factor.
2. The alternate number is the one with which the Airtel app is first registered.
3. The alternate number is also the one with which I opened SmartCash.

The key thing could be that you guys are trying to sub through the SmartCash app itself.
Instead, initiate the transaction from the Airtel app where the options specific to the ODU sim are present.

Now I get it. Thank you for this clarification 🙏

I am thinking of getting this new odu router. Tho I already have an airtel router but recently network has been bad. High ping and latency which makes streaming problematic.. Will h getting the odu solve these issues for me

From the experiences of people here, you’re likely to see improvements.
I use the hertz6 router and on average I get 5mbps and below constantly, it goes up to 10mbps occasionally.
Yesterday people complained of experiencing bad network which was 15mbps, which to me would be great network. This alone indicates to me that I am going to have a better network when I eventually move to the ODU router.
