I think for ZLT it resets every month that's the drawback

yes exactly and if i goto the tab that says data usage it doesn't show anything

lilclin:
Those using ODU can you confirm your RSRP?

Here.

Nice... I'm looking to even shift my ODU because I'm getting -88-90

You can try that.

which device is this exactly. My own is showing no neighborhood information

lilclin:

-94 here

Na SINR you suppose aim for. Also, take note of those numbers because some of them are negative. So the lesser the negative number, the better.

I get 14 to 23 SINR on band 7, mostly 20 and above.

That's one of the reasons I like G5F, the install helper app will help you position the ODU in a good signal location.

Huawei.

I just checked mine now and it is -99.

What is the implications of these figures please?

Focus should be on RSRP and SINR

RSRP tells you how the strong the signal reception is, while SINR tells you how clean the signal is.

Higher numbers are desirable for both i.e. for RSRP, the negative value should be lower, while for SINR, a higher positive value is better.

In my opinion and experience, you can get good speed even with a negative SINR but if the RSRP is very bad, you'll hardly get good speed.

Of all the 3 makers Airtel uses, I guess all 3 have WiFi6 but which among the 3 has the longest range coverage distance?

I have 2 ODUs which are both ZLT ( I think both cover same distance/range)

And also, does this white router has NFC? Cos I can't see the NFC logo on it

For the first picture please, what does it do? Does it mean I can put in a physical sim and just set to it and it will start working?


Also for the second picture, this is the band option? What do I do there? What band do I lock it to?


Then for the third picture, what do I do there? Do I turn on the cell?

Heard the black one has a very good range, better than others.

1. Yes, you can insert a physical SIM and select that.

2. 4G, lock to band 7; 5G, lock to band N78. If your network is not much better, you can disable the band lock unless you know the specific band that works well in your location.

3. Unless you know the cell that has the best signal, just leave it as is.

please for number 1? I don’t need to do the eSIM converting to physical sim? I can just put any sim and it will start browsing after switching to enable physical sim?

You had me at "can change the imei to anything you like for free"

What is your location?

Also can you list the 4G and 5G bands it has?

Osyxcel:

Is that not exactly the same model on a different colour?

Osyxcel:
1. Yes, you can insert a physical SIM and select that.

2. 4G, lock to band 7; 5G, lock to band N78. If your network is not much better, you can disable the band lock unless you know the specific band that works well in your location.

I don leave all those cell locking thing, especially on ZTE ODU because it has good signal on band 7 and always selects it.

Sometimes I do just band locking. Since band 7 has just cell 491 here, no need of doing cell locking.

By the way, the ZTE ODU has this feature where you can choose to prioritise Video Streaming. Not sure if it makes any difference but I have activated that.

lilclin:
I noticed 4+ is faster and better than that 5G NSA because i compared both here so i had to force my router to stay on 4g only

How did you force your router to 4g

That's right.

You're right. Cell locking may not be necessary as the device will lock to the nearest cell anyway.

I don't have the ZTE, so I don't know how the video streaming priority works. But it's there for a reason so it makes sense to activate it.

Log into your portal and click on internet function/network setting.. you will see network mode

alright , thank you so much. And these Airtel guys were telling me that for me to use physical sim , I must do converting.

I think I tried that thing and it didn't work. But you may have a different experience.

I inserted my working ODU Sim to a friend's eSim ODU, precisely X17U, it didn't work. I suppose I needed to logout the current eSim but that would have put him in a lot of troubles, so I didn't; and the thing didn't work.

The thing was still seeing the esim and there was no interface to switch between Sims.

So, Airtel managed to do exactly nothing about the nightly bad network. Can't stream live match even with SD quality.

They will never fix that thing

Matches don finish, they don become better.

Is it just me or Airtel speed don reduce even at night especially on 2.4ghz?

I hope my eyes no dey pain because Airtel just increased my compensation from 2 days to one month.

Nice. Make I see if na correct compensation abi na Audio.

It think is network issue...

yes i thought as much because I've seen people complain about network issues for some days now

Despite them fixing my issue and giving compensation, speed test show less than 5mbs since this morning. Streaming is surprisingly good though.
