Mine works when inserted in the ODU and doesn't it it is in x25pro
are you sure about this? Is your x25pro unlocked?

ODU is a router plan and should work with most routers, it even works with a pocket Airtel MIFi I Configured.

House, out of curiosity, I want to ask: is there any one here who by virtue of staying in a good location, can say they stream champions League at night in HD without any buffering?

Anyone? Or are we all collectively bleeped by Airtels horrible inconsistent network?
Works here.. But behaves differently per subscription. Might work well on the current sub, then next month from evening network becomes terrible until midnight.

Chief. How's your 3 month sub going? Are you tracking data usage?

That is what I am using. I tried them again by inserting the ODU sim in the ODU device but it worked for few minutes and stopped. I have to take it back to the 4g smart router and continue my browsing.
Airtel knows what they are doing.
The same ODU device is working fine with ordinary SIM.

Some of the problems folks describe here are unfathomable. It would have been funny if it's not true. Sometimes I'm tempted to ask if you check the settings in the ODU to ensure nothing is untoward but I won't ask it; I assume everyone on this thread should know how to check APNs and stuff.

So I will pin it on Airtel. Weird but still...

This is my third month on this issue. The 4g smart box I recently bought confirmed the madness of Airtel network to me. The Smart box came with 100gb. I used all of them with the ODU. Once you insert the ODU SIM it will not pick 4g or 5g but on 3g always. The moment you put the the 4g smart box sim, it will start blazing on 4g+.
In conclusion, Airtel is mad.
The ODU SIM is working perfectly well on the 4g smart box and I am enjoying my subscription.

These few days I have streamed seamlessly, including United - Leeds tonight with no problems.
What app do you use?

Most of the apps stream well... Iptv, Cricfy, youcine, etc.

Which Smartbox is that? The hertz 6 or the Android TV box?

Now I did the lord's work and opened zlt x17m guess the modem/chipset inside MEDIATEK T750 now someone with the zlt x17u should open it up and tell us the chip inside coz based on theoretical speeds of 3.67Gbs it is either a similar chipset or a lower one

Okay. The router is relatively portable. Although, to me, portable means being able to carry it in my pocket or very small bag because I am always on the move. If the router works with your ODU sim as they say, enjoy. At least it's a reprieve from the ordeal you have had recently.

thanks for this good work.

And i also did some digging on the G5FA aka G5 plus and the chip inside is zte inhouse chip S1 5G chip based on release 16 what is striking is the claimed transmit power of upto 26dbm for n41 and n78 to stabilise signal even when obstacles exists since I bricked mine those with G5FA does this claim translate to real world usage coz i know some of u have the zlt and Huawei and ZTE so in comparison how's the signal stability and strength?

I tried the ODU yesterday, it couldn't even open NL. Still stuck on 3g even after several reset and change of bands.

G5F is what I use and the signal beats both X17M and X25 that I have.

I tried X17M and G5F at the same location but the difference is like night and day.

That is just signal though. The performance is as per Airtel's mood at any given time.

Have you tried using the ODU in a different location?

Like carry it to a location where you know that there's very strong network. Because it's possible that Airtel's mast in your location is only transmitting 3G signal to your ODU.

It's possible that the 4G/5G for that mast are not functioning optimally.

It's also possible that for some reason, 4G/5G in your location are working well but have disassociated themselves from your device or Sim card.

Anything is possible with Airtel these days, just take it to another location.


My ODU sim have been getting max speed of 200kbps for the past 6 days at my house. I talked to customer care, and 3 different supervisors but no solution.

The device works well at my office, so today I decided not to turn off the device after work, took it home still turned on right from the office where it's been working well.

And behold, I'm currently using it now in my house getting 25/30 Mbps.

It's crazy innit.!?

My ODU didn't even work at Airtel office when I took it there for check. Those guys there don't even know what is wrong.
