Yes, on the ZTE ODU with script.
I don't own ZLT ODU( I heard it has in build cell lock)
I have watched the video and have not been able to get how I'll lock cell on the ZTE ODU.

It's my first time, so it's kinda complex for me to follow

It’s tricky,
First open your ODU UI, then navigate to the web console and past the script..
And activate. It will pop up on the ODU interface.

Tip: Open your router UI, press F12, choose Console, paste the code, hit Enter. For one‑click use, create a bookmark and paste the bookmarklet URL.

here is how the PCI and EARFCN looks like.
Pick ONE PCI and the corresponding EARFCN, lock it and test the speed. From this picture, there are four physical cells
Now I understand some of the figures/values in these windows.

I found a combination that performs better than others and locked it.

But it shows my area really has a poor coverage compared to your area, including stability. SINR value is quite important as well and I got a max of 5.

Thanks a lot bro. Now I can play around with it.

The area where the cable enters. Use an Allen key to gain access.

In tinkering with these, I found that locking both band and cell gives a nice speed and stability.
Folks can try it.

What exactly is the issue? Does the network signals still show on the router but disappear from the devices or it doesn't show on the router at all?

The band related to the cell. If you check the bands you will see that. In my case it was band 8.

It's not same issue I was having but try my solution let's see if it will work. Go to wifi settings on your ODU and disable single SSID.

Instead of using admin as the username, try root. Password should remain admin.

I positioned this at a place I felt would have best network but I barely exceed the 20mbps for something that is supposed to be 50mbps.

I have tested it this night to confirm what the network is but it's still poor
