Nice. I also observed that when I switched to 5G NSA only mode my speed improved a bit from 200Kbps to about 1Mbps. I don't have 5G at all.

From my observation, I could watch YouTube on 720p at 200Kbps on TV but with Airtel impossible. Either way, I have contacted MTN and I hope they can sort this out.
You don't have good network in your area.

My normal mobile data is blazing well indoors o. You would think that having an ODU antenna should improve your network experience, not as bad as Kbps for 4G+ with full bar. I doubt that's the problem

No we were just having a convo. He said Airtel had to stop giving out the G5FA model because it was very notorious for the network downtimes compared to the other models.

He didn't come to do Airtel. He came to install mtn. The mtn issue is probably their mast or something. I have contacted them and they said they'll give me feedback that it's been worked on.
I’ve always said that the ZTE G5FA is rubbish. It’s just big for nothing.

This would have been the time you try the sim using another router, but they are doing over sabi by restricting external sim.

So the installer that came to mount my MTN ODU router mentioned that the ZTE model of the Airtel ODU is mostly affected by network issues compared to the ZLT.

He is an experienced installer and has done over 200 installations for Airtel.
I have to agree with this. I rarely experience those network issues mentioned here. Like rarely. I own the ZLT.

I mostly watch remuxes of movies and series, where available, those are untouched, unmodified, lossless audio movies. They are of the highest quality.
Where can one find such, so far i prefer watching movies in 4k cos its clearer.

How una dey take stream these? I see 4K content, stable network but Airtel throttles down the network so that they don't stream via torrents on Nuvio and Stremio.

I posted the link to the particular AIOStreams addon I use, but I was suspended and the post deleted.

First of all, install Stremio, then search for AIOStreams on Google. There are various instances; I use the one by midnight. There are other AIOStreams addon instances by elfhosted, fortheweak and so on.

My netflix is 4k , i stream via online movie sites. Try using paid vpn, i use premium nord vpn and changed your server location, you should be able to stream. I didn't even know one can stream via torrent, the bandwidth will be heavily restricted by the seeders.

I still have this device from 3 years ago. I think i got it for 20k at the time and it came with 20Mbps plan. Does the Airtel ODU plan work in it?

Hi Guys, I just got the Airtel ODU and I am getting 43MB speed on the 50MBPS plan, how can i setup the 2.5Ghz wifi frequency option. I have explored the admin menu of the G5FA+MF296A router that was installed but didn't see it.

@NSEstudent whats up with 6 months you were talking about for Airtel ODU in the previous page?

check for wifi optimization, it always pair the 2.4 and 5ghz in one signal.

Go far away from your router and you'd noticed your phone connecting to the 2.4ghz .

Just turn off optimization


And by the way, your speed is good.

Also, good ones are network locked.

If you followed the op and my reply, you'd get it.

You can renew your plan 6 months at a time. Also, I I think there was a plan like that for new subscribers but if you already have your ODU registered and activated, that one is out of the question.

If you are looking to sub for 6 months, first use the one month you have now. If the experience is good, you can then sub for 6 months at reduced price.
