I paid for the Airtel ODU yesterday morning and the installer came in the evening. The network have been very okay. This is the network speed I'm getting this morning.

that's fast

The Airtel ZTE ODU is zte mc7510, and this is the review. You can also use his script to lock cell on the ODU. It works 100%
. Since i have used his script to lock a particular lte cell on the ZTE, I have been having maximum speed through out the day. Try the different lte cells in your locality, the one that gives you maximum speed.Lock it. It will solve your Airtel speed issues.
The ZTE ODU looks and feel more premium than the ZLT, but the ZLT IDU is better than the ZTE IDU

But I still prefer the ZLT ODU because it's interface is easy to navigate and you can lock more than one lte cell, and I do averagely have better wifi reception.

In all, both are good and they will give you excellent speed if you can lock a good cell in your environment

Can I see a screenshot of your own cell lock? His video is too long and I don't know where to locate the cell lock information

Update
I called the installer moment ago he said the device is with him currently but the device is not working they have been trying to troubleshoot the device hence the no show

Had to buy another odu yesterday I couldn’t keep waiting and has been installed already

I bought mine yesterday too but no call from installer yet

Is this the best you’ve gotten? Most I have been seeing have been around 50mbps

I'm scared already cos I cant pay another 25k for different router, and I can't wait for two weeks for them to sort it.

I bought mine on Tuesday, tested it with Internet in their place, everything worked has expected. Got a mail from dstv installation blah blah. No number in the mail. Since then till today, no calls nothing nothing.

The guy that registered it fir me has been postponing me since that the install will soon come,he just opened up to me now that my device stopped working. And it has to work before installation can be done. Now seeing you had to buy another device is not looking good at all. I'll go tomorrow, and tell them to make it a physical sim so I can have my device working again. I read someone here used that same method here to get it working.

Like I said before, once the registration is completed, wait until it starts working before you leave the office.

Earlier today, I registered for a new one. Thank God their manager, who is a more experienced staff was there.

So, I opted for the ZTE variant. After registration was completed, they weren't sure if it was successful or not, but they were saying it would go through eventually. Then they showed their manager, who was standing nearby. He told them that it would fail, and that they should swap the line with a physical sim. Once that was done, they said I should go, that it would work. I then insisted on testing it before leaving. So, the manager himself inserted the sim inside the device and asked me to connect to it. Once I made sure that it was browsing, I left.

The fact that mine worked properly, and I browse with it before he packed back into the carton is what's making me confused and angry.

That's strange. From what I was told by an Airtel staff, the variants that have Esim were giving them challenges, and that's why they decided not to restock them. The new ones they issue all have physical sim only.

For those that may have the option of choosing at the point of purchase, get the ZLT that has a white IDU. That one has physical sim only.

You can only use a system/laptop to write the cell lock script....click on his website, you will see the script there, then copy it. Open the ZTE page on a browser preferably chrome, press f12. Paste the script on the prompt, and it's easy to continue from there. Or better still search and watch his tutorial on his YouTube page

Got a mail that they have assigned an installer to my device. It will take 24-48hrs for the installation

Looks like the ZTE G5F + MF296A does not have 4G cell Lock option. If it does, please point it out 🙏

Please does anyone know how to fix this Sim switch option for the new ZTE ODU routers. The option to switch was initially available but it greyed out after clicking it and refused to come back even after multiple resetting of the device.

That is the essence of the video.
You can use a script for a cell lock option.

I posted it earlier. Go to system, developer options...put in password and you'll see it.

ODU out of stock in Kaduna

That's Lte band lock ....it doesn't have LTE cell lock. If you want lte cell lock which is far better, read my previous review and use the guy cell lock script, it works. Since have locked unto a particular Lte tower cell in my environment, I have been having full speed and the best data experience.

It does, the script is under the introductory text under the video. Click the link, it will take you to his website where you can download/copy the script. Follow his direction and that's it for the 4G cell lock

I think this link is a more concise video directly talking about it. right? PeterLove11

Toggle the sim switch option again or better still, if you have access to the sim card port, put a sim card in and it will reset what you did.

Yes.....go to his website, and get the script and follow his directions in the video

I wonder why Airtel will upgrade their ODU with the latest device then downgrade their IDU.
This is not making any sense. Has anyone tried using a wifi 6 IDU for the ZTE ODU?
Or can recommend a good IDU that is wifi 6 and compatible with the ZTE ODU.

When you did yours, did you utilize the cell mapper website in the video? Cos my own cell mapper is not showing any cell towers. I've been stuck there since.

cell mapper won't show anything

If you have X25 pro, you don’t need cell mapper.
All you need is the list of PCI and EARFCN.
ODU can also display the values too.
Just pick a PCI and the corresponding EARFCN and lock it

I downloaded cell mapper but didn't use it.....go into the ZTE odu page, write out the list of PCI and EARFCN you can see, they might be more depending on your environment. Lock them one by one by inputting them into the cell locking script prompt, confirm and test the speed, whichever one gives you the best speed, lock it and that's it. I was getting ranging from 5mbps to 20mbps. Sinnce I lock a particular cell, i have been having consistently excellent internet speed with good ping

The ZLT is equally good, I have done several speed test putting both ODU in the same place locking both on the same lte cell......and I have averagely have better upload and download speed on the ZLT, though the difference is little. I feel it's due to its IDU which can maximize the data power that's coming through better than the ZTE's IDU. If the ZTE has a better IDU ( wifi6), it might be incomparable.

The first is the ZLT speedtest
The second is ZTE speedtest.

Please how to I solve this no network issue some times I have to keep rebooting for like 1hr before the network will come on

I have tried that multiple times since 3pm yesterday but nothing seems to work

Was it given to you, or installer came that same day?

Guys, so the ZTE ODU was installed today. However, I noticed that the interface is completely different from the the ones I have been seeing here. It's also nothing like the ZLT ODU's interface. It's so basic and annoying. I can't even see what network type (5G, 4G) I am on, or signal strength. I really don't understand it. Is there any other ip address for advanced settings? I am currently accessing the interface via 192.168.18.1
