Mafab communications (Mcom) have 5G SA in some parts of Abuja and I think Lagos too. Their 5G coverage is very limited.
There is an SA 5G provider here in Kaduna too but very limited coverage

Airtel wan kill me. Surviving on '3G only mode' atleast I get up to 6-7 Mbps.

Try '3G Only'
It's what I use when facing downtimes and it works.

I even use it to stream 1080P content flawlessly on Stremio.

My Airtel x25 (not the pro) doesn't have the option for 3G. Is there anyway to get the 3G option?

It doesn't have and there's no way since the router has no known unlock software.

It's one of the reasons I sold mine.

This is the best ODU Airtel has sold, IMHO. I suppose the problem you're having is quality of cells/bands in the current location and/or Airtel's inherent problems.

HUAWEI and black physical sim ZLT X17M are the best

Ppl are saying it. A friend of mine bought it a few months ago, but he couldn’t get it to work. After about four months, I went to his office and told him I could help him set it up—i paid the ₦25k. After doing all the setup, the best speed we’re getting is just 800 kbps. Now he’s saying he won’t pay me if the speed doesn’t improve. 😂 It feels like I’ve entered one chance, lol.

I will go back to him on Monday…. I was thinking of sim swap if it wont work because my zlt works fine at his office but this zte wont work ,
Pls hw reliable is the sim swap i wll use the sim on my extra zlt odu .. do u dis will work?

Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Nollie254: 7:52am On Aug 17
Change the position of the ODU use zte install helper app to identify good signal area once that is done try every band and see which gives you the best speed then lock it

This type of problem is probably not the fault of the router. Do the sim swap first. So that you can test it in other routers, including your X17U.

All my ODUs were originally registered with external Sims. That way, I am able to determine that my problem is the router or not, by putting the Sim in various routers I have. And that's how I am able to determine which of the ODUs I have touched performed better.

I think the problem your friend is having, since you comfirmed your ODU works in his place, is from that specific Sim and how it was registered. In other words, you guys have to rely on Airtel to fix the problem or get another ODU and ensure it was well registered and activated.

In any case, start troubleshooting with doing sim swap first.

Call them. I think multiple calculated and persistent, straight to the point calls I have made to them must have contributed to why they have been reliable in my location in recent time. To the point that if I go elsewhere the performance is nothing like what I get at home. Long may it last.

Power off the router, leave for 30secs, turn it back on and it should reset.
