Please is it advisable to set your 2.4g band selection to bandwidth 40MHz only instead of 20/40MHz ??

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
Well understood grin

Omo, na the things we face every now and then be this. Bottlenecks, etc.

I was quite disappointed with the X25pro for not being able to extend wifi too when I was trying it until I found the solution with LAN cables, which is the better option. The paragon software shows a menu in the X25pro that looks like the wifi extender should work but it doesn't.

What's their RAM/ROM capacities? What's the android version of the latest one?

I heard they don't connect to Wi-Fi of other devices. So it's either ones uses them via a Sim card or via LAN port. Is that true?
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Betnomore: 11:20pm On Aug 07
Yes naah. Na why I dey tweak dey find WiFi extender naaah. But it’s worth it. Ram is 4gb/32gb for the 1st model but the latest one I bought I think it’s same spec but the SOC is different and better and it works with Netflix as the 1st generation box doesn’t work with Netflix again

I see. That's interesting. 32GB is better than my TCL Google TV which is about 16, from which only about 9GB is usable. Ram is good too. But I wonder what android version it will be.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Betnomore: 11:55pm On Aug 07
The 1st generation Airtel android box downside is the low resolution icons and no support for hdr but it displays 4k. The latest one as at last year I bought has high resolution icons and support HDR. As in it’s the best bang for buck. Me wey be ijebu wey I like bang for buck deals grin
Buying both Airtel android boxes was a no brainer for me

How did you get the MTN 25gb
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Betnomore: 11:45am On Aug 08
MTN 25 years anniversary. Just download or update your myMTN app to the latest version. Log in and you should see a pop up to redeem the 25gb. It’s just for one day and expires tonight. If you don’t see the pop-up, close the app and open it. Keep doing that till the congratulatory message pops up

Kindly show a screenshot of the DNS..
Don’t mistake DDNS with DNS.
Band lock is available but cell lock is not available for 4G/ LTE network.
Hello bro,

Which Airtel 5G ODU kit is best to get? I can see 3 different models online.

Which one can change the DNS?

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?
Yeah,,,I haven't forgotten. I've not been ah home.

Will do the test by Monday hopefully.

I did the MTNN 25GB freebie with one of my Hynetflex Sim cards. I inserted the sim inside unlocked X25pro and it's working. This means the ODU sim will probably work in the X25pro because MTN Hynetflex Sims don't work in other network routers.

Meanwhile, all the 4 MTN frequencies I can see here have bandwidths of 20. Only a few frequencies in band 7 and band 1 on Airtel have bandwidths of 20 and 15 respectively. The rest have 10.

The ping is still poorer than Airtel's here though. But those bandwidths must be something.

if this is true then it has a hidden FUP. Try to hit 1TB and see.
