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.
I also use the hertz6. I usually get 20mbps but for the past 2 weeks, sometimes it goes as low as 500kbps. I can't stream anything but YouTube on 360p

The past 2 weeks has really been terrible, it takes forever to load pictures on my phone and some sites don’t even load pictures on my laptop. This ODU should definitely improve your speed.
I am weighing my options between FibreX and this at the end of the month.

Fibre X is not in my area

If you have FiberX as an option please go with it. Airtel network is not very reliable in some areas and this has been affecting me even with the ODU for about 2 days now.

Of course it's better than X25 pro but most times there's a total loss of signal (On Airtel generally including phones and not peculiar to ODU)

From my experience, Airtel can fail you at anytime.

This new ZTE ODU has an annoying habit of disconnecting from devices. And it happens multiple times a day. Today alone it happened more than 8 times.

And it's only the WiFi that disconnects cos the Ethernet powered devices still work.

Anyone got any solution?

I think I experienced this a few times too but only on one of my device.

How I solved it? Log into the IDU web ui(192.168.18.1), go to wifi settings and disable single SSID.

This totally fixed that for me. You can give it a try.

all these are simple router settings. Go in there take a look and mess around with some of the settings. You can easily reset to default if it doesn't work. And the IDU is just a router. Have anybody tried connecting an external router to the airtel ODU?

Yes ..
I’ve connected my X25 pro with the ODU.
And it worked perfectly.
The only annoying thing is a blinking red light on the X25 pro

Is there any settings you can recommend for better and improved speed?

How did you power the ODU? I am asking because the X25 pro doesn't have POE.

I connected the ODU with POE, then loop the Ethernet cable to the X25 pro. It will act as a WAN.
I don’t think there’s a way to power ODU without POE. This is for the latest ODU.

If I understand you correctly, you connected the ODU to the IDU's POE port, then connected a LAN cable from the IDU to the X25 pro. Is that correct?

ODU to the POE power bank.

I can’t login the mobile app cos for whatever reason, I’m not getting OTP messages on the ODU
Use 192.168.254.1 login and then go to messages. You will receive your OTP there.

It seems you have 2 activate plans, 20 and 50Mbps. Are you getting up to the 50Mbps speed or around 20Mbps?

On most networks, the plan with the earliest expiration date takes priority.

Congratulations, how did you finally solve the installer wahala? And did they give you the device an installer.

I have similar problem. Want to register my ODU on the Airtel app but in my case, they used my mtn line as my alternate number. So no OTP is coming to the MTN number nor is any coming to the airtel IP you dropped.

I paid for it over 2 weeks ago. It's not been installed though. Bought it from Abuja.

Goodday everyone, I have been using the Airtel 4g router for over 8 months now with all the periodic wahala and occasional outage with very slow speeds as I was paying #30,000. Recently I found this group and saw the ODU device was being recommended and being advertised with 50mbps for #25,000. I was overjoyed and immediately went to their office but to my disappointment I was told it was out of stock in Kaduna. If anyone can help or knows anyone who works at Airtel to help me acquire the ODU. Thank you in advance

How can I fix this issue? I have a good speed of 50mbps and this movie keeps buffering too much, how is that even possible?

If the source is shitty, no matter how good your connection is, it will buffer.
