I have all the router here except for zte
So that what I want

Well, if you will swap with G5FA, then I will try to procure it. Problem is that it's now 40k, but I can live with that.

Its airtel m30 but this doesn't really matter. If u re using the the zte odu, u can actually use any wan enabled mifi as ur idu. Even mtn locked mifi will work as long it has a wan port. This is just to make ur battery last more for u though and maybe enhance portability if u want to move with it around. I don't think there are any more benefits to doing this than what i stated above. And this is not a hard thing to try out, wondering why u re hesitating so much. U just literally only need to unplug ur idu lan cable connected to the ups and instead connect the m30 dats all chief.

Are U saying any router that has WLAN port will work with my Airtel odu .. for example.. MTN 5g router it has WLAN, if I plug my odu to it will serves as the idu?

NSEstudent:
It should have but it's usually not straightforward. They call it filtering or something like that. You'd filter by ip or Mac address.

Mac address filter is the best, but if na person way know how routers work like me .. na to put your phone to Mac address rotation lol... Your router won't be able to blacklist my phone lol

If it's ZTE MC801A, that is what I'm using as IDU.

NSEstudent:
Swap with which?

I only have two:
1. ZTE G5F (which I use and won't swap)
2. ZLT X17M with very good IDU. I can swap with this one.

I also have ZLT X17U people say it has long lasting battery. It is not mine. A friend kept it in my apartment since he couldn't get the swapped sim card working.

Zlt x17u has a good Bat3... I am getting more than 5.30hours on heavy usaged.. but the problem I am having with is the 2.8ghz that has stopped working... It worked on Tuesday afternoon and it stopped working in the night, if Ur frd wants to sell the idu.. I am available o , I am hoping Airtel will role out another version of the odu ..

I mention the exact model of the device, you still dey ask for pics boss?

If you insist, I will snap it when I get home. I'm out now. But ZTE MC801A is a popular 5G router.

Nah, but I have contacts there. Are you close to Alaba?

HueyNewton:
Can anyone ID what cabling this is, and the deployer? I left my area for a month and I'm back to see this in every street.

Guys, I know this is an Airtel thread but let me ask here. Between the base subscription of Airtel broadband and that of MTN, which should I go for?

Also, is unlimited data available for usb modems?

I got this image by simply typing "zte mc801a" on google and selecting the image option. This is ZTE MC801A 5G router, which I use as IDU for ZTE G5F.

I hope it's ZTE ODU that you want to use it for as it's not PoE capable. If you have ZLT, it can only work as extender by connecting to the ZLT IDU first, in Wired Connection Mode.

You can still do a workaround. A PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter, like the one attached, can do the job. It will provide interface for your ZLT ODU to connect with ZTE MC801A.

You will still need to power the adapter. If you don't have inverter and rely on Power Banks, this will be a problem.

You may want to show screenshots of the base subscriptions you are talking about. I recall MTNN has 30K for 150GB data that reduces to 2GB per day after using up the allocated data. I was using it but outgrew it as I consumed more data. Also, MTNN became worse in my location and Airtel ODU emerged as my best alternative.

For info about USB modem, you probably should call the CC of the network you have in mind. In any case, you can try using unlimited sim in your USB modem to see if it works. Who knows, you might be in luck.

Does anyone here know how to cell-lock zlt x17m to a particular tower like lock the odu to a particular cell-tower

Login to the root user by using root as username and admin as pass

Please I’m inside the Smartcash app, where can I find the ODU plans?

It's not available on smartcash so just use the Airtel app.. goto buy bundle and input your ODU number then you can select smartcash as mode of payment.

NB: use same number you used to open smartcash to login to the Airtel app

He can also just recharge his main Airtel number or the ODU number via the Smartcash app. He gets same 2250 cash back and have 25k in the line to renew subscription via USSD or the Airtel app.

Nice 👍

Transfer money to the account na? The adding might be using a third party service. Just transfer money to the Smartcash account as you would an Opay account. The number you used to open it is the account, just like Opay and similar Payment Service Banks.

That is the best, no one can connect without you even they have your password… this is what i Using but it can be stressful at times

Thanks bro… buying another odu is still the better option

go to firewalls and after click on filter rules. U will see . Blacklist or whitellist
The different btw whitelist and blacklist is A whitelist means only approved device are allowed, and everything else is blocked and A blacklist means everything is allowed except what is blocked.
