How much for airtel eSIM please 🙏

Help a newbie

Unfaized:
I have only one ODU. I think I'll purchase another one just incase.

Why did you refer to G5F as almighty 🤔

The first ZTE ODU is good. It's a WiFi 7 AI router. I haven't used any router with a better signal reception. It is the router that should be deployed to villages with very poor signal, which is probably the original idea of the ODU packages.

I wait for the day it can be unblocked.

No one can speak on Airtel’s behalf cos dem madt gaan but normally they should replace it for you for free sef cos according to their policy, the ODU device is Airtel’s property

Unfaized:
Hehehe...it's not even about it being cheaper, honestly for me 25k is already cheap enough. It's just my way of saying it's Airtel long term now since mtn no follow.

Buh wait o, if your ODU were to damage and you already have like a 6months sub, will they replace it 🤔

They won't

That's one way of looking at it.

Also, we were talking about G5F. You have just deviated.

ZTE G5F is a Wi-Fi 7 router. Any objection?

What do you mean by this abeg

Omoh I no know say all these WiFi extenders na half the speed of your main router them dey broadcast at best. If toh say I know I for no buy am ooo. Chiiiimooooo. Well na my kids go suffer am. Na to swap the tp-link router wey dem dey use with the WiFi extender since dey don’t consume media that will demand more than 10mbps at best. Why this x25 pro router no just work as WISP like my tp-link router. Well, the X25 pro don get another owner in our good oga for here @nsestudent

wifi extenders are shit, the best way to broadcast your WiFi to dead zones is to use an Ethernet cable to a WAN port of another router from your main router.

Using Ethernet cable defeats the purpose of the extender for me. I have two Airtel android boxes that only connect via LAN port and I can’t be running long wires up and down the room and parlour. Getting an average of 20mbps in the parlour while getting 5mbps in my room with the WiFi extender. The only solution for me is to use the TP-link router (which used to be in the parlour) in my room which offers same speed as main router while the WiFi-extender is now used in the parlour to connect the android box

There are good wifi extenders but they are are so expensive you would question yourself for investing in them.

The best connection is always through LAN cables. As I use one X25pro as my main router now at home, I use one of the long LAN cables from Airtel ODU to extend to ZTE MC801A, which was working as my IDU, in the living room. MC801A then connects to an STB using its free LAN port while other peripheral devices like smart sockets connect to it via wifi.

My TP-link router serves as a very good WiFi extender. It maxes out at 300mbps. So what else am I looking for. I no just want to buy another one as the WiFi extender is relatively cheap. The TP-link router came with one unlimited internet service I was using few years ago Hi-Konnect

It connects to the host via cable or via wifi? Tp link makes good routers by the way.

Those cheap extenders don't do a good job. They are only good to connect peripherals which don't need high internet speed, usually for automation purposes.

Connects via WiFi or LAN. Any one u wish to use. I connect via WiFi and extend via LAN or WiFi while getting same speed as my main router. Attached is the picture of the TP-link router. It’s such a pity the X25 pro can’t connect via WiFi. If not, I wouldn’t have sold it to you.

Lemme use cost for an instance:
The cost of data subscription is very high. Why? No competitors.
If we had like 10 solid Internet service providers in Nigeria, do you think we will be buying data sub at this rate? There will be competition amongst themselves; the price will drop and quality of service will improve.
If you geh network issue, you go call mtn tire, them nor send you, they won't fix. They do this boldly because they're the best ISP in Nigeria, you have no where to run to.

How will this competition start? When foreign ISP come in to invest in Nigeria. But Federal Government policies is killing foreign investments. They're all leaving one by one.

See pharmaceuticals, foreign companies are closing down and leaving.

Make e no be say you dey regret am o

Since you have the TP-LINK, why were you trying to use X25 as extender? It may not even work as effectively as TP-link for that specific purpose.

Most of the ISPs are foreign companies. I think that's what he wanted to clarify.

Did you later test the MTN ODU sim with other MTNN routers you have?

I want to use it in my room. I have two android boxes that only use LAN connection. One in the parlor and one in my room. I can’t run long wire to both of them. So that was why I bought the WiFi extender to use with one of the android boxes. The main router is far from the TV in the parlour and also far from my room. The TP-link router has been working fine for the TV in the parlour but it’s always a hassle whenever I want to watch football in my room and I need to use the apps on the android box. I have to take the TP-link to my room to use it and my kids won’t be able to use it to watch their cartoon in the parlour. With the WiFi extender, my kids can use it in the parlour as it’s closer to the main router to enable them get decent speed while I can use the TP-link in room and get maximum speed. The X25 pro should have been the one I use in the parlour instead of buying WiFi extender but it can’t receive internet wirelessly to broadcast. So it doesn’t make sense running long cable to it as I can run the long cable directly to the android box and e go disfigure parlour. I hope you understand now
