Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by MrSuama(m): 10:35pm On Feb 20
Good evening learned fellows, I am having serious challenges choosing the best ODU device.
My intention is to serve at least 300 persons at a go. And I know the ODU can only allow 64 connections at a go.
Below are my challenges
1. Which of the ODU is best so far?
2. If 64 connections are on the ODU simultaneously, would speed be drastically affected?
3. Can I aggregate two or more ODU with a WiFi extender to meet my target of 300 connections?

I am free to suggestions and contributions.
Thanks

If U are planing to connect 300 ppl at a go... The odu is a bad option,.. even the starlink I don't think it can connect up to that .. you can buy 3 odus and use to save cost of buying if 75k is not too much every month

Even if you could connect 300 people at a go, at 1gb per person a day is 300gbs which means you're likely hitting the 1Tb threshold in about 3 days.

This is very impractical and you need to seriously review your model. Even 1 starlink plus extender won't give you the best experience if 300 people are connected at once.

That is Airtel for U ,.. I cN recall that some1 had the same problem on here,, I think it happens to all zlt , what I noticed, the battery life as improved...I have been using it for 6 hours 12 mins a d the ups battery indicator still showing blue .. before the 2.4ghz got bad I used it for 5.45 hours max .. so for those that are complaining about battery, you should disable one for the server band .. I think this will help
are you sure you didn’t turn on WiFi optimization under 5G? It makes sure you only use and see 5Ghz. Mine is enabled. I prefer using only the 5Ghz.

Not exactly what it does. It makes devices which can connect to 5Ghz connect to it while devices which can only connect via 2.4Ghz will also connect to the same SSID. If you want to know which devices connected to which frequency, there is a place they are shown on the admin interface.

really? Since I enabled that, I have never seen my 2.4Ghz on any device again. Pc, watch, tv, phones, game.

But glad to know it means something different.

This is because the 2 ssids are merged into one which is usually the 5ghz one. But it doesn't mean all devices connected are using 5ghz, it optimizes and chooses which is best for each device accordingly.

On Starlink, if you refer someone, you get 1 month free. My bro even has six months secured that way. Will Airtel give us something similar?

300 people at a go is enterprise level. Go and get Fiber.

If you can get FiberX, go for the enterprise 1Gb/s plan for #200k. If not, go for any other fiber provider in your area.

No I don't think so... B4 the 2.4ghz went off finally, sometimes it will work sometimes it won't work .. that is my settings , I have done factory reset more than 5 times still the same

Go to connected devices list and you'd see which devices connected to which frequency. Some devices are incapable of connecting to 5Ghz but they'd connect to the name you have given for the 5Ghz SSID.

If you want to change the name of the 2.4Ghz SSID, it won't work. It's just making your SSID uniform.

I would advice if you plan on converting sim to physical, get two ODU routers with two different lines.
Why do you say so?
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by lilclin(m):
It's possible sha...my Airtel speeds hits up to 5-7MB/s. Maybe he just downloads large files like video games

I mean the router network I choose 4g I don't have 5g in my area ..I am getting a decent speed, you can connect to any wifi band on your router.. 2.4ghz or the 5ghz ., the different between the 2 wifi band
2.4 GHz: Longer range; penetrates walls and obstacles better. Good if your devices are far from the router.
5 GHz: Shorter range; struggles with walls or floors, best for devices close to the router

Good evening all. My airtel router stopped browsing since last night. I believe it is because it is on 5g(nsa) cus the last time it stopped working, it was also showing 5g(nsa). I was able to remove it then back to 4g but this time around, it has remained on 5g(nsa) till now. What can I do?
