Read through some of the discussions here on band locking.

Band 3 is the strongest where I am (4 bars)

Band 7 (just 2 or 1 bar).

Locked to 3 alone...


Still watching.

Choose what's best for you .. I am on band 7 it has just 2 bar at work and 4 at home .. band 7 is faster than band 3 in my area ..

etcme:
Okay, I will do that this night. Thanks a lot

Uwc bro

I've changed to band 7 despite the two bars...3 is disappointing despite the bars...I am just testing around. If not satisfied, I will revert to the default of checking all bands and save it like that.

I use band 3 only when uploading large files on my channels Band 3 has more upload speed than band7

I've done the swap.
The person told me to wait till 7, o'clock before I put it in but I wanted to ask how long it usually takes.
Also does switching to physical Sim deactivate the eSIM?

Feedback on this😭😭
I've swapped it to physical SIM and I'm still getting the same speeds
1mbps

Guys I don't know what to do again

At this point i think it's from the number... Just manage it and when the sub expires just get a new SIM

Sigh

So I should just get a new sim and sub unlimited on it

But would I be able to get the ODU 5g plan?
Or is there another speed based plan I can pay for?

Yes

Yes but wait for people with more experience to reply

Are you sure you haven't crossed 1TB?

For you to get a odu 5g Sim.. U have to register it has hbb and scan the imel on the odu carton, that is when U will get a odu Sim , normal sim registration won't give U router plan ..

10mbps is too small ... Try and change the location of your odu and test the speed

At all, I thought it was that from someone's info before.

But my last plan expired on the 18 and I resubscribed. This is 24th I couldn't have used 1TB in a span of 6 days when the stuff barely even works

My last plan expired (. This is a new sub and I haven't even used up to 100gb

1. I've tried all bands (1,3, 7, All of them give me good network but the same speed at 1-2 mbps

2. I don't think my area can be considered a new site, It's at egbeda, Lagos side

3 I just did a sim swap from eSIM to physical today

4. Yes, It's goes fine at about 20mbs with my normal Airtel SIM.

5. Inside, But I've tried moving it around my house and area even to another street but same thing

6. Yes

ZLT X17U

I have been able to shift the ODU to a new location in my room and the network seems to be stable now unlike the pass 3 days.

But a new problem, my phone keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes while the router is still active and working.

Any solution to this?

No it doesn't but the swap render the esim useless

Then your sim has been throttled just wait till the sub expire and do another one

This particular ODU dey worry, but if I haven't tested my own Sim in it and it worked, I would have laid the blame on it alone. So, the device is not the problem. Although there may be something about it that makes some people who were baptized into the ODU kingdom through it to be having the most complaints, one of whom is my guy.

When you call customer care, what do they say? Have you taken it to the specific office you bought from, did they say anything useful? I will assume your location has terrible Airtel network but it seems you said somewhere that you have tested a normal Sim with it. If it is confirmed the sim is the problem, you should just go take another device and sim. They have a new ZTE device now, G5FA, a junior brother to G5F.

Go into your IDU page and turn off the option to optimize wifi

I've called cc if not 20 times now over a period of 10 days

My bro, Na 24 hours, 48 hours, Escalate to HQ, etc dem dey tell me. The latest one (as at yesterday) said another 24-48 hours

I'll go on Monday to where I got the device and complain, either I get it fixed there or I leave it there

You said something like get a new device, Would I have to pay for that or?

I am not using ODU....it is the Airtel router 5g.

I may test the sim with a universal router to see if it is better than the one Airtel provided.

Nice to hear the ZTE is back, but why do you consider it the younger brother? Secondly, which IDU is it paired with as i hear it supports wifi 7?

Take it to where you bought it. They should be able to find out what the problem is and probably fix it.

The new device, you'd have to pay for it, unfortunately. But you can keep the old one too if you want.

Airtel can be so dubious sometimes
