Good morning, please where can I get the Huawei?
Secondly if u are buying please can someone help me get one please 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hopez456:
Guys , pls I need help.

I have been having network issues with the ODU for days now, my router doesn't connect to internet and if it does, it will show 3g if at auto connection mode and no network at all if on 4G/5G.

At times, if connected to 4G/5G, the upload would be very low.

Today, I changed direction of the ZLT ODU, problem persists then I disabled 5G band lock and select only band 7, 3 and 8 for 4G, while my network mode is set to only 4G only.

With this, the download speed is great, I often get the maximum speed 50mbps but the upload speed is terrible, always in kbs.

I urgently need help on how to improve the upload speed as I need it more for my works.

In my experience, I have once got the highest upload speed on cell 60 band 8. But that was when I was tinkering and needed to upload one video urgently, a large video.

Over time, band 7 has proven to be the most stable and fastest of all the bands. There is no harm in trying so you can try locking 60,3500 and see how it goes.

Meanwhile, what is the first band your cell uses as primary when all are active? Maybe that can give you a clue of which one has the better download speed which you should lock back to after uploading.

I wanted Huawei too but it's not straightforward to buy and send to someone. It was only available in Lagos. It may no longer be available. I didn't get. I still told my plugs in my area to alert me when they get it.

The other ODUs are not particularly bad. Most of the problems we are having come from Airtel themselves.

Thanks so much, I will soon give try all and give an update.

3500? I believe you meant 3400? That's a frequency.

Cell 60 is a cell in your area, so he won't see that. It will be another cell no entirely. There are usually more than one cell in an area.

Hello People of NL,

I am planning to place an order for the ODU by next week, but I am skeptical about its reliability as a result of many negative reviews.

In my compound, different locations give different speeds. Outside the gate give about 200mbps, while within the compound it drops to about 40mbps, and inside my flat it way less.

However, I discovered a spot behind by kitchen giving me the rate you see in the snapshot below.

I hope the engineers will be willing to mount the ODU behind my kitchen or do they have strict rules around that?


Thank you

They can Mount it anywhere you want

3500, that's band 8 in my area.

Perhaps he should try locking band 8 alone and see what he gets.

lilclin:

They can refuse as they did initially in my case. When they left, I brought the thing down and mounted it where I wanted.

Oh. I thought you were talking about Band 7.

Wahala🤣

Why did you have to change it in your case?

Did the new location deliver stronger signal?

Thanks so very much guys.

I tried the different suggestions, band 7 alone here gives around 2-5mbps for download while upload is quite good so, I kept trying different combinations till I combined 7,3,1 and 8 on 4G mode alone which overtime proves to be ok with one the results attached.

It was not about delivery in the first place. I waited so long to have the external Sim ODU because I'd be taking the sim with me most times I'd be moving. For them to now come and mount it atop external wall and tightened, making access to the sim stressful, tedious, borderline improbable for me, is inconceivable.

But that installer said his masters won't take it. He had to show them. He installed, snapped and sent them. Left.

I did what I had to do.

As for the location and performance, he didn't even employ the use of the install helper app. I did and got the best place in my room. Not the best place per se, because I found excellent signal on band 7 at the middle of the room where no object exists to hold the ODU. I had to settle with 'medium' signal but that's OK.

Osyxcel:

No. Band 7 self na 3256 here

Can you snap your cell info?

Osyxcel:
Can you snap your cell info?

Currently this.

The bands and frequency have seen so far on Airtel 4G
Band /frequency/Bandwidth
Band 7/3256 / 20Mhz bandwidth has the strongest throughput
Band 7/ 3400/ 10mhz
Band 3/ 1873/ 10mhz
Band 8/ 3500/ 10mhz
Band 1/ 250/ 10mhz

If you are having poor 4G network speed, try band 7/3256. It has the biggest bandwidth.
If it's not available, try others but your target should be the above( band 7/3256) for a consistent network speed and performance

Hopez456:
Currently this.

That's Band 7 as primary (PCC) and Band 3 as secondary (SCC).

Note this as the combination that gives you something fair as per your need. For now.

Cheers!

Thanks bro, I used this as a guide choosing the bands.

Thanks Bro, it's fair and I will keep observing as well

How is this locking of bands done on ZLT?

Now I get your point.

So you mean you can remove the sim and then insert it in a phone or it has to a mifi device?

Peterlove11:
I feel it's mainly their unlimited ODU bundles , its having difficulty opening some websites, even gaming ping is poor. I tested it with my regular Airtel sim, put it in my ODU, and I don't have similar issues. Gaming is better and superior. With the ODU sim I was having 70-85ms ping in CODM, while with my regular calling sim, I was having 25-40ms.
I hope they improve the ODU experience. This is beyond the speed because am having maximum speed but the server

This is because the ODU is limited with speed cos it's unlimited internet unlike your normal airtel sim which can read at higher speed but limited data
There's something called QOS in the router

Thank you

with this speed, I'm sure you are good to go, cos it's obviously 5G
Btw, they can install it anywhere u want, even if na ur bathroom

Unfaized:
My speed test result is usually like 50mbps and above till 7-10pm where it drops to between 3-5mbps. Then from 11pm its back to 50 and above.

This is the reason why fiber internet is the superior one.
Just got mine today, I will check the speed once it's 8PM, that's the peak time, everyone is with their side chick watching netflix

You login with root as username and admin as password, the click on device settings , then advance settings select at the top band lock. There you see the 5g and 4 g bandz

Pls where do I see the settings to lock this band and cell of a thing, my Speedtest is random, sometimes 20Mbps, another time 60Mbps

You have not been following up

Some MIFIs dey work with ODU sim
