netotse:Only customers who pre-ordered are eligible for the UPS for now. For Walk-in customers, your details are taken down, so that when the UPS is available for those who walk-in and buy, you will be notified. Though some Walk-in customers were erroneously given the UPS when they started selling the routers. 3 Likes |

honsule:The UPS will not be sold separately, they are very few for now, hence only customers who pre-ordered are given for now. Eventually, it will be widely available and bundled with every router. 2 Likes |

dustmalik: Thanks for this info, hopefully I can get MTN and coralpay to recognise my payment(since 14th) and finally pick up this modem. |

honsule: It will still fall back to 4G (even in this state) if the 5G network is poor or nonexistent |

franconian: I initially had this issue too with my location listed among the 5G coverage areas but I only got 4G. As soon as the free 100GB expired, I got 5G lol. Coincidence ![]() So I would say the signal is slowly rolling out; or somebody forgot to turn on 5G in my location until perhaps somebody called and complained. 1 Like |

On the dashboard, you can see your signal strength in dBm, move around until you hit the perfect spot. The higher (or closer to 0) the better. first floor gives me -106 dBm at 150Mbps. second floor gives me --56 dBm or so at 350Mbps third floor: unchecked 4G only gives me max 100Mbps at any floor But it stays at the first floor, just for the aesthetics ![]() ![]() if i wanna do anything mega-data intensive, i will move it up a floor |

has anyone gotten 5G signals on an iphone? i use a 13 rn |
Re: Has Anyone Bought The MTN 5G SIM Or Router, Please Share Your Experience. by dustmalik: 4:49pm On Oct 02, 2022 |
shuggah:MTN is still in talks with Apple to resolve the issue of iPhone 12, 13 and 14 not getting the 5G signal. |

If you have a Samsung S22 ultra, and you are getting MTN 5G on it, kindly state the variant you own. e.g. SM-S9080, SM-S908B, SM-S908E, SM-S908N, SM-S908U, SM-S908W |

dustmalik: Chief, do you know what exactly the issue is with Samsung and Apple phones? those are supposed to be premium brands and they are carrying last casually...lol 1 Like |

netotse:The feedback from the MTN network support team is that, some Samsung devices, especially those meant for the Nigerian market, have their 5G disabled via software. As a result, they don't receive the network. That is why some S21, S22 and some other 5G supported Samsung devices aren't working, while some variants of same model are working. If I owned one of those 5G Samsung devices that support 5G band N78, and yet not getting the MTN 5G in an area where available, what I would do is to flash a firmware meant for a country overseas, say UK, for instance. That should, theoretically, solve it. Concerning Apple devices, Apple has to whitelist MTN network in order to get 5G working. 6 Likes |

dustmalik:Again, please if you have any of the above Samsung S22 ultra variants and you are receiving MTN 5G, kindly state your variant. Note that this will help in resolving the challenges of some Samsung devices not getting the 5G network. Thank you. |

Auskyd:Thank you for the feedback. I am curious, have you tried flashing a firmware from a different region? Firmwares can be gotten from Sammobile or XDA. |
Re: Has Anyone Bought The MTN 5G SIM Or Router, Please Share Your Experience. by Auskyd(m): 11:56am On Oct 03, 2022 |
dustmalik:Problem with flashing different regions is that if you aren't careful you might not get security updates as often as you'd want. Mine is even US (Verizon), so I should get the 5G sef. |
Re: Has Anyone Bought The MTN 5G SIM Or Router, Please Share Your Experience. by dustmalik: 12:16pm On Oct 03, 2022 |
Auskyd:The SM-S908W is actually the Canadian variant and doesn't support 5G band N78, hence why you may not be getting the 5G signal. Verizon uses SM-S908U, which is the US variant. |
Re: Has Anyone Bought The MTN 5G SIM Or Router, Please Share Your Experience. by Auskyd(m): 12:38pm On Oct 03, 2022 |
dustmalik: Ok, thanks for this information. This phone came from the US so I assumed it was a US carrier. |
