Thanks for the information Chief. Please how fast is 20Mbps ? Just want to be sure.


The 20Mbps (2.5MB) speed cap is reliable and performs well, particularly if Airtel's network is strong in your location.

Is the 5G router worth it? Someone wants to sell his used 5G router to me with the simcard and power bank for 23k. What do you guys think? Is this a worthy buy? Note that he has used the 1 month unlimited subscription that comes with the 5G router.
Why is he selling? I'm interested though if u change your mind

Why will someone want to buy a simcard at 20k. I would rather opt to get the 4G router or even the smart box that comes with the unlimited sim.
I have the 4g router, just wanna upgrade and it turns out the sim isnt interchangeable

You're paying for the unlimited 20mbps data plan not the sim


You can actually use the sim in your Airtel pocket mifi

Starlink, the satellite internet provider under Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has announced a significant price hike of 97.36% for its residential users in Nigeria, citing the country’s rising inflation. The new pricing, effective October 31, 2024, for existing customers, has raised concerns across Nigeria’s internet service provider (ISP) sector. Local ISPs are alarmed by the increase, particularly as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the telecoms regulator, has denied price hike requests from local operators for over two years.

It is, no mind those customer care guys. Lastly most recently Sims being sold by MTN and Airtel are 5G compatible.

If onboarding new clients is Ur bread and butter, would you give them an option to remain where they are?

Firstly, most of the Customer service personnels have no freaking idea on how to solve most issues, I keep wondering the criteria used in employing them but at the end of the day, na Naija we dey.

A friend has a 4G router and swapped with my 5G router and SIM works flawlessly, just as you can use the Sims in routers, mifis as well as phones and it works just fine.

However, the fact that they don't sell Data SIM alone is very true for all GSM networks, swift, smile and spectranet networks however sell just the SIM for interested parties.

The one you did is not unlimited.
Airtel Unlimited 20 with 20Mbps @ 20k
Airtel Unlimited 30 with 30Mbps @ 40k
Airtel Unlimited 40 with 40Mbps @ 60k

Those three are the truly unlimited ones

I'm not too sure if the price of the 2nd and 3rd plans. But they are truly unlimited plans. Na you go tire because I don't know what to download anymore 😭😂

The joy of it is that this have solve my data problems in terms of business and home use. But my other part of it is the downtime sometimes. It's very frustrating and annoying

True, Recently, I've had some connectivity issues after the last rainfall, needing to restart my router often and even contacting customer care. But overall, the service is good.

With all the reviews so far, I think I’m set and ready to opt on the Airtel 5G Router.

I would like to dispose the 4G Router. Kindly Holla if you’re interested. Location is Ibadan.

Better check that the service is ok in your area before you purchase. Airtel data is like glo, very limited in good coverage.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Internet Subscription | How to Setup Streaming Media Services by PrettyMuchNoOne: 9:13pm On Oct 12
Does anyone have any idea how to tell Airtel about issues with their services: trying to access anything on 76.76.21.21 (basically most sites hosted on vercel eg, https://posthog.com/ https://oxide.computer) or 185.199.109.133 (any subdomain on githubusercontent.com, so releases and images on github don't load) results in a 100% packet loss

emailing them doesn't get a response, and their twitter tech has zero idea whats happening and told me to reset the router (which for the benefit of the doubt i did do)

the only workaround to this is to use a vpn and it's pretty annoying

Well I don't think it's an airtel network issue. I experienced the same problem accessing or downloading/cloning files from github. It's a Nigerian IP issue most likely.

Kindly share picx so others are guided. People keep asking about this on here. We have:

1. ODU for 40 to 50k
2. 4G router for 25k
3. 5G router for 50k
4. Others
Boss on this router, which one will you advise someone to go for?

Does the ODU recieve/have 5G network?

Honestly I have not thought about this. I am comfortable with the 4G network cos the Airtel 5G isn't even available in my area and I don't also have a 5G supported phone to confirm if it is.

Okay boss.

Does that mean you didn't get the 5G router from the person as you posted earlier? I really wanted you to give review on both devices inorder to make informed decision. (Router with network boost hardware and the 5G router)

I am considering going for your exact hardware on page 1 or the portable 5G hardware people give good reviews on (X25 pro something).

They're very daft and inept they lack basic knowledge on most technical problems their solution is always reboot your Device
