Just take note of your ODU number, go to any road side sim registration shop and do a SIM swap to a physical sim, then get a pocket router that has been tweaked to work with the router plans and you are good to go

Thanks man, I appreciate

adibo:
A bit different, but can I convert my mtn physical sim to esim in the roadside people or I have to go to mtn service centre?

Not really sure if they can but first ask them if they can be able to do it , if they cant , then you will have to go to a MTN service center

Fenomenal:
Hi ,what type of pocket router can I get .Thank you 🙏

ZLT M30 or M30 PRO, anyone of them will work

How is the X17U?
When I settle down, I will compare it with X17M. My assumption is that X17M will be better. Maybe X17U is cheaper.

So I didn't find much differences between these ODUs. What I do know is that X17M PRO is already available and if Airtel wanted an upgrade, they would have gone for it instead of X17U. All the same, X17U is still good.

W304VA pro is ax3000
The w154R is ax1500 wifi speed......both wifi 6 but the former is superior

That's 3Gbps vs 1.5Gbps. But then again, we are using it with a 50Mbps plan, so ultimately, it won't matter

Yes o but have you guys tried using it with starlink for extension?

NSEstudent:
Can someone get it for someone?

It's restricted actually because it must be registered.

It's sufficient even for Starlink so far performance is similar on both for sub-1.5Gbps bandwidths.

Yea, those are the IDUs for the old and new arrangements respectively.

Osyxcel:

Yes. There can be a workaround but it's not straightforward.

this app is so confusing I hate the way the thread looks, very good information here tho
I wish we can make a group or community for internet related matters on somewhere like discord, telegram or similar honestly

NSEstudent:
Airtel's is better. MTN capped theirs at 150GB and a paltry 2GB per day after that. Still 30k.

Airtel is 20mbs and unstated 1TB cap, after which speed reduces for some people (because some also say they use up to 4TB per month)

the airtel 5g has caps also, and so far as i know i dont think there is any caps for mtn fibre x
its really unlimited..but airtel 5g NOT ODU the normal 5g has caps
after u use certain amount u will get throttled..
you have to call their customer support so they reset the limits.

michlins:
Am I the only one who cannot receive SMS in my airtel ODU number. I just wanted to recharge my ODU now and the otp they sent didn't appear

same here
is ur alternate number an airtel number?

geeetee:

michlins:
no sir. MTN only

thats the problem, i managed to change my alternate number tho
visit this link - https://airtel.com.ng/broadband/#/user/login
and do forgot password, you will get otp in your email. then you reset the password and login and change the alternate mobile number

MTN broadband bundles have data caps.

The FibreX project is uncapped to the best of my knowledge. It only has speed caps and has up to 300mbs. Users report positive results but to cover the entire country is virtually improbable.

Hullabaloon:
Check page 31 of this thread.

Page 31, 3rd post

I checked but didn't find it, can you share a screenshot or quote and tag me please.

I went to Check out the mtn Fiber X thread, and they also have their own complaints. I was hoping it would be a better alternative overall but alas!

Hullabaloon:
Ok. Update. It works. Thanks to akinremedy who have me the step by step.

Buy the attached, then get an Ethernet cable and use it to run the connection

How do I get an OTP sent to my mail?.
The only option I have there is for a phone number

Please, I've been trying this and I don't receive OTP via my email.

Is there anything you did different?

Facing the same issue. I can understand why I can't get it send to my MTN number but I can't get it sent to my mail either.

Just finished a phone call with a customer care, there's really no other choice than to go to their office and change the number to an Airtel number

My problem is that - they should stop doing registration with MTN numbers.

2 days ago when I went to buy another ODU, they were saying I should use MTN as alternate number, to which I strongly disagreed on as though I foresaw these. I like how I monitor my router numbers from the app and I wondered how I could do it when MTN, another carrier, is used as the alternate number.

It's really stupid and amateurish that they'd suggest using an MTN number as the alternate. I remember clearly asking them at the point of registration about using my MTN because my Airtel wasn't in a phone and they encouraged it, not once, not twice. Smh

In my case they suggested and I rejected it. I think they were having problems with receiving codes from Airtel. I wasn't having it.

You have to understand that those ones doing the registration just want the registration to be successful as soon as possible, by whatever means. They also have no power to make the Airtel sim cards receive the codes as fast as they would want.

But those were none of my business

The lack of power backup and not being mobile is the number one reason I will stick with airtel, it’s even the same price sef, and on-top of that airtel network is excellent in my location, so make mtn pack one side for now

There is a way to change it yourself. I think someone drop a link earlier which I believe should work. I have done something exactly like that to change my alternate number before but with different link. I would have drop the link but bot here will delete the comment

yeah this link. It is the same link I use to change mine in my previous router

Have anybody tried "PAYING WITH AIRTIME" for their ODU using the Airtel Africa App?
