Try accessing the root user interface. Use root as username and admin as the pass. You should find a menu where you can change the connection mode or something similar.

First of all, when you log into myairtel app, is your subscription balance still showing ?!

Yes and I still receive daily data usage messages

Sorry I don't understand, how can you be receiving daily data usage when the SIM is not working

Still nothing. I guess the router does not have the functionality. I guess I'll have to go the physical sim route and hope Airtel does not act funny

From my previous posts I stated that network suddenly disappears and to get it back i have to do multiple restarts and factory resets daily.
If the Sim was faulty then the network shouldn't be restored right? Once it gets to evening time then it stabilizes and around 10 am the issue starts again. Sometimes when the network is restored only band 8 and 3 would be available and very slow.

Note: I have another odu in the same premises and it isn't affected, I even swapped locations and the same thing still occurred after sometime.

This issue started when I reached the fup last month and even after renewing my subscription it still persists.

Were you able to access the root user interface? Did you see the menu to change network mode but not able to see Wireless Broadband?

See a similar menu from my ZTE MC801A.

I used the root and admin login but no changes besides some additional submenu. I also have a Zlt m30 mifi that has a LAN port which I can use but can't also find the WISP functionality on that mifi too

I don't have X25 pro, I would have checked.

You won’t see it because those ZLT devices are not capable of being used as wireless repeaters.

Which cheap mifi can one get that has LAN port and can work as wifi repeater?

What you should be getting is a WiFi repeater with LAN port.

Which ODU do you have?

ZLT ODU. Abi make I just retrieve to physical sim. Is the speed reduced when one retrieve to physical sim? Make I just use am for my 5G router and move it to anywhere wey I like for the house. And if Airtel do madness na to buy another ODU again. I think this is the best solution for me if the speed is not affected when using the physical sim on Airtel 5G router

I was thinking if the ODU router (the indoor) has repeater mode, you can pair the X25 pro with the outdoor and use the indoor router as repeater to LAN. If that’s doesn’t work, just do a swap.

Your speed will not reduce with the physical SIM only that with the 5G router being indoor, you may not get a speed as good as the ODU but if Airtel network is solid in your area, it should not be a problem.

OP this is your best solution

So are you saying I can connect the X25 pro with the outdoor unit and it will work without any settings? Then I use the indoor unit as wifi repeater? Person need check plenty settings ooo

X25 pro is not PoE capable, or is it? It would have worked if it's the ZTE ODU which has a UPS that doubles as PoE.

But then there is also the part where he checks if the IDU can work as a repeater.

Oh. That’s true. The POE ish.

@betnomore, just do SIM swap and rest.

I go try check am tonight to see if it has repeater function. I have that ZLT ODU.

Be like my MC801A can do that wireless repeater thing via Bridge Mode. I go check am too.

When connected to ZTE ODU UPS, the ZLT IDU misbehaves. It only gives internet to the first connectd device and fails to assign ip to subsequent devices. Its own ip can't be accessed to change anything. While not connected to any router or PoE, its IP can't be accessed too.

The Bridge Mode of MC801A is not able to work as repeater. Apparently it is supposed to be used with a sim card for the bridge mode to work. In the bridge mode, it gives internet access only to a device connected to the selected LAN port. Devices connected via Wi-Fi won't have Internet access.

Bridge mode may not work as that is supposed to merge two networks. Repeater mode won’t do that, it just extends.

Thanks for the effort.

Once you swap the esim for physical sim, the esim stops working. There is a sim slot for all the ODU models. You locate it at the bottom of the device.

Thank you so much, appreciate the response chief

Na sim swap sure pass but dem say na after first month. Make I just chill swap the sim to physical sim

Lol, you fit swap am the same day. No mind those people.

Looks like Airtel played a fast one. They didn’t give the 1 month free sub as promised. My subscription expired yesterday and I haven’t been able to browse
