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
connect to the 5g ssid

If you have any line of sight of any mast, try positioning it towards it to see if your speed improves.

I positioned it there directly but only slight improvement. Initially,it was 5mbps until I moved it to the current position

This is on my odu router
My unlimited sub finished
Then i did normal 3k 10gb
This thing is VERY fast if you avoid capped unlimited bundles

You're on 5G right but sometimes i wonder why normal data will be fast while the unlimited server will too slow

Anyone else having network inconsistency?

I get 40Mbps and then it jumps to 5Mbps and sometimes even 700Kbps and then settles at 30 or 20 Mbps. This has affected streaming massively as it buffers alot. This has been happening over the past few days.

Prior to this, I was getting consistent 50+ Mbps even during evening hours when the network usually goes kinda bad.

Do you use an Airtel line? Does it browse fast on normal data?
If no, then they probably have terrible network in that area.

The suggestions about locking to a cell might benefit you. Try it and see if it brings improvement to your experience.

your ODU is picking different cells at random.
Just do a physical cell locking and have peace of mind.

Update: seems like a reboot is needed to solve any problems with this router. It is fast but not totally reliable

Are you using the ZTE or the ZLT variant?

If you are using the ZTE ODU, download these apps. They will help with the best position to place the ODU

I did l cell Lock, locked to 3 different cells individual but for some reason, the speed on them seems to range between 16Mbps and 30+Mbps max.

But when I leave the cells unlocked, I get upto 50+Mbps.

Few days ago, it wasn't a problem but over the weekend, that 50+Mbps is very rare.

Frustrating.

The thing is, there's no Airtel base station anywhere close to my estate. So, I just told the installer to mount it on my face board and point it towards an open area. The performance hasn't been great. Sometimes, even with full 5G and 4G signal strength, it refuses to browse and would have to restart it and tinker with severally before it starts browsing.

I will try the cell locking thing to see if it helps.

You can do band lock instead.

Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by ANIKUDI: 11:24am On Nov 03, 2025
This is strictly for the ZTE ODU users, you can use the ZTE Smart Life App to monitor your device and perform some settings.

Did the Band Lock. Results aren't that impressive.

Funny that locking cell on my x25 pro has given me increased and consistent results.


For some reason, my ZTE ODU has been acting up. I noticed the esim has stopped working completely, I know my way around the esim so it's not some settings. what I'm now using is the physical sim.

I looked up the esim and realized that it's not active anymore. The name and Nin attached to it has disappeared from where it usually displayed on the myairtel app.

I like how the external Sim is working.

Those routers were originally made to use physical sim. Na Airtel wan use am do restriction.

The reason I suggested band lock is because, since yesterday that I started trying the locking stuff, I have been experimenting and all the better cells in my router are on the same band.
