[quote author=NSEstudent post=137256550]ZLT or ZTE?

Is it not the one inscribed G5+MF296A?

A picture will help.[/quot

The New one G5+MF296A

Hullabaloon:
Oh yeah. This was me last week. New ZTE. wanted to run mad.

Got the solution here. Log into the IDU web ui(192.168.18.1), go to wifi settings and disable single SSID.

The newly deployed do not have option to disable. It only shows MAIN SSID

People of God!!!! I carried the whole thing to their office oo and stayed with them till they fixed it. Airtel has serious tech stack issues.

Just got back home and it's working perfectly, getting consistent 50Mbps

The ZTE is better than the ZLT, aim for -64dBm on signal strength and there won't be speed issues.

Absolutely! Installer took my allen key away, got it back Saturday night. Thank you very much for your help.

Base on una experience between the ZTE and ZLT ODU which one dey better

This new Airtel ZTE Router is annoying. It’s blocking a lot of sites probably because of DNS issue and misbehaving. I managed to edit the DNS on my iphone in wifi settings but i can’t on android and other devices. How do i fix this? It’s terrible!

How do we aim for -64dBm? What's the settings?

Your User interface is set to mobile. Either you change it to pc or use a laptop to access the IP

I will go for ZLT because it has 4G Cell lock and DNS settings.

But if ZTE add these settings on their firmware updates, I will go for ZTE.

. I don't think you can choose

Log into your ODU router using the ip address. Watch the signal strength, then move the ODU around to get the best location. The lower the number, the better.

Is this not equivalent to 4G lock on the ZTE?

Found a solution. Just change the Dns of the wifi connected to your phone/device on your phone/device wifi settings. For android, you’ll click on the wifi settings of wifi you’re connected to, change IP settings to static instead of DCHP and DNS part will appear where you can use 1.1.1.1

akinremedy:
it will still be throttled until the previous subscription expires. The person shouldn't have subscribed until that one expires. That's why you need to have 2 sim cards if you exceed the 1TB threshold

That's a crazy logic from Airtel. Renewing should invalidate the previous sub.

Peterlove11:
Have compared their performance. Now I have the older zlt which started working almost 2 weeks and the newer white zte

My interim observation: The older zlt has better IDU, i usually get better upload speeds compared to the newer one. and the range is better, covers every part of my flat. The newer one seems to get better latency for example in CODM, I was getting 32-47ms, while the zlt is a bit higher at 38-50ms. but in gameplay no noticable difference.
Also the zte speeds drop the moment I step outside my flat. Same doesn't happen with the zlt unless I move a considerable distance away. Maybe the WiFi 6 on it has anything to do with that.

In all, I will keep monitoring both performance to know which I will keep.

Have you noticed anything new? What's the difference in speed (using any speed test)?

OmO! It's crazy single SSID is preventing people from browsing.

Why do you think so?

Hullabaloon:

It's different, this one is physical cell lock.

Looks like ZLT is back in store. Went to get mine today,all I'm seeing is idu zlt w304va + odu Zlt x17m.
White in colour, don't know if it's the same as the prevblack one or a different product.

This is what I got after doing a speedtest some minutes ago. I put both ODU around the same location

The first is the ZLT ODU
The second is the ZTE ODU
Both are comparable

Guys pls what is happening to airtel.. see speed pls we what this o

Airtel network has been fixed . Pls don't turn the speed down again , this speed they sweet me , I am on the 20mbps

Tried this and my phone wouldn't browse. Can I see a screenshot of yours?

Hello house. I am beginning to wonder if these guys are playing games.

They gave me my router a month ago. Since then, I noticed that I don't receive messages or OTP on the esim. Also, I noticed that the email they used in registering the esim is not mine as well.

Now, my subscription expired. I purchased 25k thru Opay on the sim. I tried to subscribe using the website option, they sent an OTP to the esim which I am not able to receive. I tried using the ussd code, they said I don't have sufficient airtime.

I just said let me check the sim on Opay and it came up with a name Comfort Ejeh. So, I wonder how I was given a router that someone else already registered on Opay

I am not even able to subscribe now

Go to device management, click on developer option and put in your password. You'll see the band locking option there.
System>developer options> input password and voila.

I paid for the odu 18th of this month up to this moment I haven’t gotten is just same story “the error can only be fixed backend “ I don’t even have the odu number or anything even the customer service can’t escalate without the odu number and device number I’m just tired at this point.

What are they saying over there
Cause some times when I call the customer care when they are even confused of the whole thing

It's best you do an email to the customer care stating the issue and provide your alternative number that you used during registration!
They will escalate it with a reference number for the case and get back to you faster.
That was what I did and even after installation they were calling me confirm if av been sorted out.
