The 5G router comes with a mini UPS.

Did you preorder yours? Mine didn't come with a power bank. I ordered mine directly from MTN.


Also, the powerbank that came with your own looks exactly like my 4g Hynetflex powerbank. I observed something disturbing while using the powerbank with the device, whenever power is interrupted, the device will reboot. Do you experience this?


Another issue I have with the device is I only get 4g even though my location is listed on their website as a 5g location, I called customer care but they seemed even more confused. One was asking me if the phone I connected to the router has an MTN SIM, how the SIM wey dey my phone take affect router network reception?

Hold your money ooo. I'm already regretting buying it.

I was playing efootball division match, I was winning 3:1. Towards the end of the match, NEPA carry light, na so the router off on. Network disconnected and I lost the game. I almost smashed the device.

I dey find how I go take return am back to MTN like this. I nor fit use this kin thing.

Also, it's almost like all the reviews on YouTube were paid adverts, them nor dey talk truth.

It was a preorder and pickup was in Abuja.

Correct

No. Maybe your powerbank battery is on its last lap to go.

Signal levels must be poor. Try moving the router to another location or at a higher level. Occasionally, the light turns blue-4G but switches back to white within seconds.

I suggest you install ZTE Link from Playstore and use it to track 5G signals as you move around with the router.

I ordered mine in Lagos. It's quite unfortunate that MTN will ship a router without a battery and a powerbank.

As for the app, it's what I'm using in my MTN 5g signal ultimate search. The signal indicator has never shown white, always blue.

I already have the 4g Hynetflex router, I see no point in using this one if I'm not gonna get a stable 5g and an uninterrupted connection. I'll find time to return it to them.

This is absolute bollocks! Have you seen the speeds? And when they were installing these antennas, they should run it through you because you are what? grin

When a 5G signal is available, a 5G enabled phone will pick the signal if the conditions of Band is met. 4G will likely never go above 200Mbits/sec anywhere in the world, and MTN 5G is known to go above 400-500Mbits which is a common speed for 5G around the world. Also, the latency is insane as I've seen 2ms.

If you do not know the technicalities that is involved in things like these, it's better you do not spread misinformation!

Recent iPhones are known to achieve far more speed than Android, even the likes of S22 ultra.

Just go on YouTube and search for speed test between iPhone 13 or 14 and 22 Ultra.

iPhone 13 and 14 would give you greater speed than even dedicated routers or MiFis if all conditions are the same.

Speed test of what exactly? Be clear because some people actually understand how this thing works.

What do you mean by speed? Is it speed of opening apps? Because if it's that one, the differences are marginal and results are mixed for reviewers.

So let's be clear biko.

have you tried restarting your phone, or are you using VPN on your phone (it can reduce network speed )
