There’s one unique thing about MTN ODU, the power consumption is same as X25 pro.
I don’t know how they did that.
I’m suspecting the simplicity of the indoor unit interface may contribute to that.

Oh okay. It is the x25pro router though.
have 2 now and want to sell one with the battery pack
I use the Itel 22.5W to power mine.
You can get it in Jumia under Itel store.

this is the spec of the powerbank, this wouldn't work?
If that is the spec, it will work.
But make sure it's only the router that is connected.

They keep banning me for making post

But has anyone used the Xiaomi 18w powerbank to power their router?
You will need atleast 22.5W, 12v power bank.

Planning on getting the MTN ODU and I get some questions.

1. Does it only work in areas with MTN fibre available ( so I've heard ).?

2. Did the activation give you headache or it's just plug and play?

3. Is the esim convertible to physical sim like Airtel's.?
1. No, It gets it's network from nearby service mast.
2. Just register the ODU at their office and it doesn't take time.
3. Yes it is convertible, but I don't know if it's embedded on only mtn routers.

Na only me dey get issue with airtel for the past few days?
Airtel issue is turn by turn.
Most times, it’s location, other times it’s regional.
But the fact is, no one will escape their downtime.
Ever since I got Mtn ODU, I’ve never had a single downtime (1 week now and counting)

MTN is strong in my area in Enugu but I don't have 5G. Should I still go for it? Abi make I stick with Airtel? For context, Airtel used to be horrible once it's 7pm but during this world cup it's been mostly excellent. So what do you recommend?
If you have 4g+ on mtn, you are good to go. I have one of the best stable network on Airtel, but I always have downtime. My MTN ODU has been running for two days now without issues..

Airtel is notorious for being very unreliable. That's the reason people are going for mtn.

Mtn offers stability, and if they sustain this ODU campaign, they'll give Airtel a run for their money.
Exactly my point.
I lost two projects just because Airtel wanted to be unfortunate.
MTN with its 5G has been stable in my area.
Having a package like ODU is almost same as fiber x.

olujosh301:
Read what I said again and hope you odu sims are sold through backdoor?
I have 3 Airtel odu's, mtn has to have something exceptional to make me switch. Why would I want to buy another device that offers nothing exceptional?
like I said use the provider that serves ur purpose as for me, MTN is exactly what I need.
Phones › Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by williams85(m): 3:34pm On Jul 08
olujosh301:
Once odu is unlockable, there wouldn't be need to be jumping wagon but if mtn provides 300mbps+ plan on their odu before then I would switch asap
I don't agree with this,
The sims are not sold separately, if you want to own them, you must buy the device.
Just get the provider that serves you better.

Just picked MTN ODU at their Enugu HQ.

Yeah, i have changed the IDU to Airtel's ZLT W304VA PRO, which i believe is superior, and the performance has been more stable.
So far no issues with pairing ZLT X17U with ZLT W304VA PRO right?

yes, it has a FUP of 1TB.
I used 1.2TB last sub and did not get to the FUP. I will increase it before my next expiration..

ODU 50mbps
It happens sometimes..
They will still adjust it.

They are likely to lock it to their own device designated imei, just like Airtel did.
Phones › Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by williams85(m): 11:23am On May 19
michlins:
unlimited
There must be a hidden FUP attached to it.
The speed will reduce when you use a particular size of data.

definitely, I'm 💯 percent certain of that. I still have a 3 months ODU sub on Airtel running, might switch to MTN after it expires
Do you have any idea of the FUP( the data allocation) for the 50mbps of the Mtn?

I think it's more of software than hardware.

The guy with the super admin has a more recent version than mine. And I use root also to login.
Valid point

Anyone?
If you have a stable power supply go for the second one, if not the first.

If you are trying to get the super admin on your ZLT X25 pro, make sure you have a compatible hardware version.
If not, it won’t work.
Phones › Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by williams85(m): 7:43pm On Apr 12
Mine is still working..
Have you tried it on your ODU to know if it's from your sim.

Someone please look into this for me

I just did the 3 months 50mb sub and I get 6,500 back on Smartcash cashback.
can you confirm the allocated data for the 3 months, let it no be the same for 1 month.

I think we share the same problem. May the Lord that visited your ODU visits my own too. Airtel is insane.
What apn are you currently using?
Have you changed your apn to auto or Airtel default apn?
You will be surprised at the result.

My ODU sim was disconnected from 4G network, all efforts to reach Airtel customer service hasn’t worked.
Has anyone experienced this rubbish and what is the way around it.
Note: the 4g is only active on other devices except Airtel embedded devices.

Those numbers he mentioned are not PCIs
Yes they are not. He did not add the PCI because they shared the same value for that particular mast.

I think y'all shouldn't band lock but cell lock only.

First remove cell and band lock, go to system status and check for all available cells and bands in your location then lock only the cells with this highest numbers. The higher the cell number the closer the cell tower to you.

My case is cell 3400, 3250 and1876 and band 7,7 and 3. All I did was lock just cell 3400 and 3250. Don't lock bands and you're good.
To add on what you have already stated, for you to get the details of all the mast closer to you, download cell mapper ,it's an android app.
make sure the sim of the network provider you are searching is already in your phone.
Phones › Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by williams85(m): 9:38am On Jan 20
NSEstudent:
Those numbers you mentioned are not cells but band frequencies. In other words, you're still locking the bands.

By the way, how were you able to lock multiple frequencies? Which router are you using?
He is right, for you to cell lock you will need the PCI and the EARFCN. But to band lock, just tick the band you want.
