How do you guys do cell locking on the ZLT X17M though? I only see band locking feature. Also, the username = admin, password = root is not working.

Username is root password is admin

Tover:
Has anyone tested or use this odu , does it support physical Sim, I am planning to get on tomorrow

I have it. It's the lower version of the former ZLT router. If you ask me why Airtel went from top to bottom, I cannot make sense of it.

There's no NFC on it like the former and the bands aren't that much. One good thing about it is the battery life. It lasts about one hour longer than the first one

It's all for science, at with NSEstudent's breakdown, we know what to expect from individual hardwares. Sometimes we don't appreciate people who put their finances, time and effort into doing some of these reviews, because we can read them at a glance, we tend to forget the process these things went through to get us the results.

@NSEstudent, dustmalik and all who contribute regularly you're all appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Be like you dey that Telegram solar forum where people sometimes selflessly do things for 'science'

I like playing with these and also keeping them around.

I don tell my plug for the Airtel office here to alert me when they get Huawei.

Thanks. This works.

I suppose the most plausible reason would be to reduce capital expenditure. The new device would cost less and being that the subs are lowly capped, it won't significantly affect the service. As a matter of fact, a lot of people complain of the battery life. So if indeed this one lasts longer on UPS, then a lot of users won't mind and may actually prefer this one.

It's normal for Airtel to want to keep costs low since their speed offerings will still be met by this. More devices will still come and you may never see some again.

You didn't confirm if it uses physical SIM.

Be like activation for the underground dey go now

I don't really bother myself with such details but the installer said it's esim only

It's like this ODU plan is now working on any mifi without being tweaked cause I just tried it on my Vida mifi and it's blazing

What a relief cause this my tweaked ZLT mifi battery life is ass
With this my Vida , I can get at least two days now without charging

Wow. What a great news.

ODU it is

michlins:
ODU it is

Were you able to compare the previous and new ODU?. Because both are x17, and it's difficult locating manufacturer spec sheet for the 2 online

Okay, I'm totally lost on here

Please is this some thread on Unlimited Plan for Mifi User or una don move go another thing?

Because I have no idea what ODU is.

I've not seen any ODU that doesn't have physical sim. It's the outdoor unit that you will find where you can insert SIM card or use the esim

Airtel Unlimited

ODU is the flagship of the Airtel unlimited plans currently. It's a combo of outdoor unit (ODU) and indoor unit (IDU) that work together to bring internet connection and WIFI to your home. It can work on some portable routers(MIFI) after tweaking. In fact, there is rumour that it now works on MIFI without tweaking.

So the thread is still on point...

Tested with Vida M4, e no work

Vida M4 is what I am using right now with the ODU plan and it’s still blazing since I tried it this afternoon, reboot and reset your mifi and see it it works

I restarted the router and it didn't work still.
I will test it again tomorrow. I hope it works because the router has 3000mAh battery, uses nano SIM and charges with type C. Convenient and compatible with modern devices, unlike ZLT M30. M30 though, has LAN port.

Do you hit 50mbps steadily on your mifi?

Don't bother, it won't work. Tested it here too, same thing. He has some other data on the sim or some glitch I don't know. But it's still locked to routers only.

Please does anyone has suggestion of Mifi that currently works with ODU sim? I will greatly appreciate your response on this. Thank you

Mehn the thing stopped working this morning ooo

Haven't really done a speed test but it's fast enough for 7 devices to stream without buffering

Think it was a glitch cause it's no longer working

The post above this mentioned it. ZLT M30/pro

moremuch1:

Maybe you have some free data on the SIM. The plan is locked to IMEI. If it's a glitch and it works for you, it will most likely work for others with the same Mifi as yours.

Tried again, e no work. I go dey manage my M30 jare

There is one old MTN ZTE mifi that works.
That one still has poor battery but it's more compact. Among them though, ZLT M30 is preferable to me.

You have not been following up.

As a reminder, ZLT M30 and M30 pro work with the sim but you'd need to work on the mifi for it to work.
