They are 5. Two ZLTs, two ZTEs and one Huawei.

Among them, ZTE G5F is the best ODU in terms of network reception. I like Huawei as a brand and they have a nice IDU, better than ZTE IDU.

As for the battery, the power banks serve as UPS for me in case an unlikely event like power outage happens. If not, 99% of the time they are always plugged into electricity from inverter.
Do you have/currently use the Huawei?

I came to that conclusion because I have the Huawei, zte g5f and the zlt x17u.

I have said it many times that I'm yet to test the Huawei myself. I know at least one person though who uses it.

However, their specs are out there on the internet for all to see. You having the three models is also a good start but you might need to show us the tests numbers.

They are all limited to either 50/100mbps
So the whole specs don't really matter here but based on my used which I have stated earlier here.
Best battery life zlt x17u
Best odu + idu combo Huawei
Best odu zte(g5f)
Best idu Huawei(overkill)
Most stable & consistent Huawei

I got to this conclusion because they were all installed in the same location.
Summary is that all of them would serve you well based on the limitations of the internet plan 50/100mbps but the Huawei idu through the ai life app makes the big difference.


I am not at my base, I only have the x17u with me because of the battery life and portability so I can't share results.

This is assessment is true and I haven't disputed it, especially about G5F being the best ODU Airtel have fielded.

The IDU that came with the G5F is arguably the worst and I don't use it. I instead use MC801A. The Huawei IDU is the major reason I want to also have the Huawei model, added to the fact that I love the Huawei brand when it comes to routers and the likes.

If you can get only the Huawei idu without the odu you would be fine, just connect it to your zte idu with an Ethernet cable then you can also enjoy the full features of the Huawei idu without the Huawei odu.

I know this. The G5F, because it comes with standalone PoE as its UPS, works with any router that has dedicated WAN port. That's why the IDU I am using is not the one that comes with it.

What are the chances of getting only the Huawei IDU though? Almost zero.

Need help guys, I've been noticing unknown devices on my Airtel ODU, I've changed password like 3 times but still find strange devices connected, I used TP connect to block internet access to them but some of them use randomised Mac so they connect later again, I've tried to plug any and all suspected leak, but i can still see unknown devices, what can I do?
PS: I've tried using whitelist but for some reason it doesn't work, devices not on the whitelist still connect to my WiFi
Also I use the ZLT X17U

Are you the only one that access to your primary device?
Secondly change the default username and password from admin to whichever you choose (http://192.168.1.1)
Go to the play store and search for zlt, you would see 3 apps but download the one in Chinese, then follow this steps. You would able to block connected devices easily even after they change their mac address.
The last option is to hide your ssid and connect to it manually anytime you want to connect

You can even connect directly from the powerbank terminals using the battery cord and LAN cable to the Huawei IDU instead of the ZTE. It works seamlessly

Where would you get network from in this your arrangement chief? The IDUs have no Sim ports nor do they support esim. Without the ZTE ODU connecting to the PoE UPS, how would you be able to get internet access?

The ZTE ODU connects to the POE powerbank as usual; instead of the ZTE idu, you now connect the Huawei IDU the same way you would v connected the zte IDU to the POE powerbank. I tried it this morning, and it worked flawlessly.

No extra step required, just same connection. The ZTE ODU give the Internet access, while the Huawei IDU supplies the home Wi-Fi. That's what am using currently

Okay. So this is the same arrangement we have been talking about. But you said it as though you were suggesting a different arrangement when you said "instead of the ZTE".


Edit: now I see the message you quoted was suggesting connecting via the ZTE IDU. My bad.
I have never connected it that way. It's always been via the PoE UPS.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Oblivion190: 2:05pm On Jun 18
Thanks chief, I had already changed my default login,
Also I use the Tkconnect app, I can't find the Chinese app you talk about, can you send a screenshot of the app icon, when I search ZLT on playstore there are lots of apps there
Also the option of connecting manually isn't really viable for me

tkconnect works really good. I just downloaded it and it is better than what I was using initially

Please guys, for those using Airtel 50Mbps speed, if someone uses up to 1TB of data, does Airtel reduce or limit the speed?

I’m asking because I’ve used almost 1TB, and before now I usually got between 50Mbps to 58Mbps on speed tests. But ever since I got close to 1TB usage, my speed test now stops at around 1.8Mbps or 1.9Mbps.

So I want to know if that’s the reason for the slow speed, or if it’s a network issue, before I renew my subscription, which expires on the 21st.

I think they have stopped that. I did almost 2TB last month with a consistent speed of 48 to 49.1 Mbps throughout the month.
