Would you be getting an MTN 5G Router?
Reply Below 👇🏾Let's Chat!
Yes I need it
You didnt mention something
Pls is the router a universal one or not?
Yup,.....eventually. when there's 5g in somolu
Absolutely, even just for 4G, it’s all I’ve been asking for.
Not yet.... my 4G hynetflex is pretty fast enough for gaming and streaming and I still have like 500gb data on it, so I'll wait till when the swap option starts so thanks for this very informative video 🙏
I think Mtn should make unlimited subscription available for the router. That's the only way it can sell
I agree on that specially that the expansion of their fiber is so slow.
Unlimited? You are of course joking
we waiting for starlink
@@michaelmaximos8182 you will be deceived by starlink every satellite broadband is very weather dependant and half of the time there will be issues not to mention the cost of the 1st installation don't you think it's gonna be free lol
@@michaelmaximos8182 Starlink subscription will be costly but unlimited.
It's now $110 per month.
I still wonder why MTN still thinks this way, we are in an era where we need to be connected continuously without thinking about our data bundles getting finished. I don't want to use my data plan responsibly.
First off, seems you upgraded your camera gear. 👌👍👍👍
Secondly; as much as I would like for Nigeria to move with the 5g trend, I don't think we're fully there with 4g. My friends in Europe and America get atleast 100-200mbps on their 4g while I get 18-45mbps on average. I think the best 4g I've experienced so far was at MMA2 Ikeja 80-100mbps
I'll make more comments as I process with the video
Remember that your phone’s modem affects how fast your internet can get. More modern modems (pun intended) like the kind included on this 5G router will get you much better 4G speeds. Fisayo managed to get over 200mbps on 4G as well and I’ve seen others get that too.
Heck, I myself have gotten 170mbps a few times on 4G.
True, we aren't fully there yet with 4G, however, there are people who also need the capability that 5G offers and I think it will cater to them.
I agree with you, we are not there yet with 4g, the highest speed I have gotten here in Abuja Is 20mbs. although internet speed is influenced by a lot of factors, like location, the modem in your mobile device and many more. But I still think a lot of work needs to be done on 4g, and I just hope all attention won’t be shifted to 5g while 4g suffers.
@@FisayoFosudo Dude, in the video, you were asking why MTN might want to slow down 4g? well for the same reason Apple slows down their older devices. 😏
@@FisayoFosudo please did your test locations include anywhere on the Mainland, like Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Maryland?
what were the results there, cos it seems likes its marketed to those on the Island giving your test locations.
Finally, MTN has brought 4G to Nigeria🙃
People didn't get this comment
Underated
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're right oooo
😂😂😂
Most intelligent comment here
I can see that your studio setup has been revamped, and the clarity of your audio is commendable. Personally, I'm not thrilled by the 5G rollout given that this was the same gimmick used to market the 4G but see the current 4G speed, it's terrible in most locations across Nigeria. Do well to test the speed of 5G in about a year from now and see how comparable it will be with 'real 4G' speed as specified.
Exactly my taught, there is no much traffic on the 5G network right now.
Audio seems to be a bit muffled or something wierd, maybe just me?
@@nvignesh nope def sounds weird
Thank God that 5g is becoming a reality in Nigeria 🎉
Brr that's not 5G speeds
The downside to this router is that it doesn't have inbuilt battery 🔋. All in all, it's lovely and MTN should consider the unlimited plan
But that's why it comes with power bank
You are a blessing to your generation , your videos are informative and well educating.
Please, what kind/type of video camera you use for your videos ?
They are very clean with great sound.
Can we get it in Nigeria?
You can check out the video we did here: ua-cam.com/video/t1TDKfE_N50/v-deo.html
Thank you for the compliment!
For me, 5G looks good but unlimited plans need to be something we need to have. A router without a battery is a waste, to be honest. Excited to see what they have in the stall for us end of the year.
I was really hyped for it. But the LTE and HSPA coverage and speed in many areas in Warri is currently a nightmare. I've contacted MTN tirelessly and they're doing nothing about it. It keeps downgrading.
I won't be exchanging my HynetFlex till they fix up if I've not switched to other networks.
they know what they're doing
Its a planned wrk
Please tell MTN to add a backup UPS for the 5G router in the box.
They know that power supply isn't stable here in Nigeria.
Omo it's so annoying. Even with the power Bank connected like in this video, it powers off before coming back on
Great video!
It's worth noting that the game servers are different from the servers used when testing, so the ping doesn't directly translate.
Exactly my thoughts, like why would he use Speed test to judge COD ping rate 🤦🏽♂️
If you looking closely, he was getting average 70ms on CODM test which by standards is quite the norm for 4G. Don't really see the need upgrading if it's for games imo
Please, can I get the name/link of the powerbank/battery pack you used for the router? Great video BTW.
Amazing video as always Fikayo. For me I will be getting one once there the 5G network is available in my area. I'm a heavy data and internet user and having one of these will make my life much easier.
I use an S21 Ultra and I get 5G in Abuja. Downloaded a game 2.7gb in 52secs... But the network is not stable just yet, but when it is, it crazy fast!!😁😁
So it's been rolled out in Abuja?
Just move to Abuja and I have been a struggling with internet here and people not understanding we run a media platform but I’ve been scared to try this out but now I’m definitely going to thank you 🙏🏾
Hello, in Poland, 4G is actually bottlenecked with 5G coverage upgrades due to frequency limitations. As frequency permits are not being put on auction by the government for a long time, 4G bands are used for 5G coverage, and that limits the 4G a bit. At the same time, also 5G is not fully utilized as we lack some bands that can be used there. 3G is disabled entirely (country-wide) by some carriers in order to put 5G in its place. Phones that are not using 4G or 5G fallback to 2G (really bad call quality, not to speak about the internet connectivity). In a nutshell, 5G upgrades may impact "lower Gs".
That's a bit tyrannical no?
just can't wait to own this i pray it has a good battery backup though
love the new background✊
What servers were you connected to during the speed test? We’re they local servers or international servers? Because that makes a difference.
The energy I’m getting from you on this new video 💯✅you looking vibrant fisayo
ngl man. I was genuinely waiting for the review
Appreciate this Video
From Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Your videos are really really good. Well done and keep it up.
Good review. One thing to note however is the version of the router you reviewed is quite different from the one that's being rolled out.
I hope you can make a video on best fiber internet in Nigeria, that would be awesome
I'm gonna rewatch this video in 15 years and go "5G? Ahahah I'm on 7G here boys"
Actually a new generation of cellular networks happen every 10years to most likely you'd be on 6G
With the speed at which technology is improving, i think we'd be way above 7g..
@@dynamicrangeproductions bro 6G plans are already rolling out just search the Internet lol
@@divinefavorucheagwu800 Even the 5G is not ready yet lol
@@walidali8669 Make una dey ask which country the person dey before una reply people so as not to show you don't have info that you just typing...
nice one boss.. its cool... Good info.. lovely video.. it flowed well.
Thanks for this timely update Fisayo, bless you brother!
Good one there
Thank you for watching Olasunkanmi!
Hi Fisayo
Being the lead UX designer for two remote companies in America, and one of the top FIFA players in Nigeria, I got myself the MTN 5G Router. Although, I'm a bit confused by the fact that there's a rounded (cylinderical) 5G router with a black WPS button, well labelled icons describing the major things we need to know, then I see your video and yours is more rectangular in shape, it's also what MTN displays on their site.
My concern here is, why are there two types of this 5G router and why is no one talking about the rounded (cylindrical) shape type that I got.
Kindly assist Fisayo.
Okay 👍🏽
Please how is the ping like on the FIFA?
BRO ... I love your sound..... up there..... top notch..........love from Uganda
I ❤ This
.
Thanks For The Review
Thanks for the insightful video, I'll wait for fo the Router exchange program. 🙂
I bought a Hynetflex but it didn't come with a power bank like you say yours did. Wonder why products can't have the same content.
My Hynetflex is now so terrible it keeps tripping off and on even when it's constantly plugged into power.
This frustrates my job as most of what I do is online.
Hello fisayo
Love your videos 🇳🇬🇳🇬
2024. I just exchanged my CAT6 4G router for one of these few days back. Free of charge.
How? I'm just about ti get the CAT 6 4G router, what was your experience with it and how did you get to swap it with the 5g router?
@peluminova2515 it was splendid. 90% of the time over a year plus that I used it, there was a day cellular data wasn't working for MTN users, the same thing on my MTN MiFi, but the browsing was possible via the Cat 6 router. It's built differently.
And as regards the swapping, I was handpicked, I suspect it is due to my data usage.
@@CirphrankGG Oh that's nice and reassuring.
The 1st one I ordered had the USIM that was packaged with it swapped out in the packaging and the part where the SIM information is on the router was inked out so I wasn't able to get the 120GB welcome bonus which prompted me to return it on Jumia
I was already considering getting another router.
Thanks. How's the battery life though?
@peluminova2515 The seller had sold the SIM to make greedy profits. Good that you returned it.
Battery life: 7 hours on full charge till the last day, when I was speaking to them in the office about it, they appeared shocked, and said many people complain that the battery is bad...
Advice is: when you first get it, charge it fully, before or during usage, not after.
@@CirphrankGG it's crazy it's happening from MTN's official store.
I was beyond pissed when I found out cos the product was delivered about 2 day after the delivery period and I had a project to attend to.
They're currently processing a refund and I plan purchasing it directly from the MTN official store instead of Jumia.
Yeah, I got reviews that it lasts between 6-8 hours which is good cos there's at least 16 hours light where I reside.
Your responses have been beyond helpful.
Thanks 💙
I think the USB C port can power it too, Did you try a powerbank with an 18W output (12*1.5) ?
There should be an unlimited data plan either quarterly or yearly, what's the point of getting 5G then??
Thanks for sharing bro. 🔥 🔥 🏆 🏆
Thanks for the Review ❤👍
Fisayo this is an awesome video and I always come back to it. Please make a video comparing the starlink router to the MTN and Airtel 5G routers.
Hi
Your ping test doesn't show on which server you were connected
The 19ms is the ping to the MTN server there is no way this ping is connected to Europe.
Please make sure either you show the ping inside a game while playing it (showing clearly yourself playing it) or ping the speedtest result on an European server and not local MTN one.
Thank you for the videos.
I won't say anything till my wifi 6is out
He showed in game ping of CODM
@@eo... he didn't show himself playing the game. He showed the ping inside the game that yes. You need to understand unless the server is inside Nigeria it's impossible that the in-game showed ping is true.
@@wissamyahfoufi3824 the ping showed in 5:12 is based on the nearest server to Nigeria. And as of today I think the nearest CODM server to Nigeria is in SA
Why you no reach mainland. Na wa for you my guy. No be all of us wey dey for island na
awesome video....thank u for this. also, speedtest is about to get a million downloads boost in coming weeks
Great content as always.
Why did the 4G speeds drop significantly though?
Chances are they deliberately slow down 4g to encourage take up of 5g
Would definitely love to get one sha
Forget all the hype. 5G is still a work in progress. Even in Europe and America. They complain that it's slow in some areas and not stable. And it drains ur battery pretty fast. And the difference between 4G is hardly noticeable on mobile phones. Some even still prefer 4G lte
Hey Bro I need your help 🙏🏾 I'm stuck between Buying a Chromebook and Windows
The chromebook I have in mind is Asus Chromebook flip C434 bout 400$ on amazon plus the shipping be around 300k Omo 😥 I was hopping to see it in ikeja but I called one Asus store there they said not available and I don't even know if there's any windows laptop with that kinda spec slim, bezel screenratio 83% good battery within the price range of 200k brand new... 😭 Plus Chromebook can't operate windows and parallel window is not it
Thank you for this informative video.
Great job you have done here.
4G got almost this same kinda hype on its introduction. 4G speed now is almost worst than 3G(when it was first introduced) & 3G speed is now like GPRS😁
VERY TRUE🤣
thanks for your video. i just want to confirm you can use the router in a non 5g location, even if its just making use of the 4g on the router
Yes, you can use the router in a non-5G location. However, you won’t get 5G speeds.
@@FisayoFosudo thank you ☺️
I love your videos,so informative
Thank you!
Boss. good content. I think you left out a crucial detail about connection over wifi.. if someone's device doesnt support wifi 6 standard, they will not be able to enjoy any of these speeds even if they are right next to the router. So they will be limited to a max of about 150Mbps no where close to the 500+ figures... If more people dont know this, they might end up purchasing it and be disappointed. For pc, you can just connect a LAN cable focus but most people dont use their laptops close to the routers also..
What is MTN 5G band number? Is it SA or NSA spectrum?
Bro, I can see the quality upgrade . dope
Back up power plan for the router will be a plus.
It didn’t also make sense for MTN to reduce the double data tariff offered on the Hynetflex router. I used it before and after the promo and Bro! They are different.
Please how do I get the type of battery you used in this vedio ?
Your Microphone 🔥🔥....damn..too good
Swift is ok for me. 10mb, no data cap and no lag. FOMO is a thing for most people tho. This isn't one of them for me , I'm afraid.
Bro I saw you, life at the 5g launch center you looked different 😂. Nice review
Dude ... Thanks for this video ... please add the mainland in Lagos too.. thank you
Yes FF, i have a 5gb enabled smartphone..💥
What of for firmware update and mounting external storage to the wifi network so it functions
like a NAS?
I think it is worth a try. The gaming possibilities seem like a good reason to give it a shot. Waiting for the competition though, that should make things a lot more interesting
Exactly! That's what I'm waiting for to.
Nope. It's merely 4G finally brought to Nigeria
What microphone are you using??? Sounds like candy in my ears with the Oraimo Freepods Pro 🙂
I didn't get the power bank with my Hynetflex, I guess they added it to newer generations.
is this millimetre wave 5G? cuz 2gb file download in 2mins is pretty slow for 5g
Not mm wave 5g only works under certain specific conditions and the jump from 4g to 5g is not really massive like 2g to 3g or 3g to 4g
It's not mmWave 5G
Oh my God. The sound💥💥💥
No unlimited plan
No battery backup
I'm not interested
Quick question...
In the event of a universal 5G modem or router, will the MTN 5G SIM be accepted?
Hi, Fisayo. Nice video. The video quality is top notch, however, there is so much echo. Maybe, you might consider sound treating the room. Well done
Thanks for the feedback. What are you listening to the video with?
Home theatre speakers
@@1982757 😂
Why you laughing)@@salaudeensulaimon1119
They can reduce the speed to just to promote the 5g. Look at DStv they reduce the station in some packages yet increase the price. remember they are both South Africa companies if am not wrong so nothing is new about whatever they do anymore. Actually only few people use 5g phones presently and they should improve their 4g network which they reduced purposely to market this 5g
You are just speculating. You have no actual evidence to back up your claims
I want this but not available yet. How did you get it ?
AIRTEL or MTN 5G, which is better overall inspite of location
Am using a Poco f3. With mtn sim 5g works 😂 in my school and street close to my home
Better still, mtn should improve 4g and coverage over nigeira pleaseeeeeee
for people on the move not having battery backup on the router is -ve.
Great video! Do you have any idea about when other regions in Lagos will get the 5G coverage?
They will be expanding the locations until the end of the year. The full list is will be on their webpage and you can also use the Speedtest.net method I mentioned in this video.
@@FisayoFosudo thank you
Love the amazing videos
Hi Fisayo! Thanks for this review. Please, where can I buy the Hynetflex power bank, and what's the price tag on it? Thanks. Keep up the good work.
@Fisayo fosudo... I saw the nano sim beneath the router, is that a 5G sim? If it's placed inside a 5G device around an area with 5G coverage will it work?
All MTN 4G SIMs can also connect to 5G. You don't need a new SIM
We have not even used 4G optimally in some parts of the country
The upload speed is very underwhelming...
Great review
You Guys should advise all this our Telcos to stop charging on Speedtest everywhere Speedtest charged out of bundle but here it's different
Thanks fisayo ,please can use
This device for my internet tv will This be a wise decision, please kindly advise the advantages
Thanks
I can’t wait to test out the 5G network because the 4G network is barely usable
Pls how can I get the power bank
Hi Fisayo, thank you for all the great works you do, I'm think, my office is parked with several branded close-end routers, what will you advice for this 5g router, getting branded or just an open router for all networks?
Nice i will love to explore this
Hey Fisayo, lovely video. What is the average time between ordering a modem and the pickup date?
One of the biggest problems I'm facing with internet generally in abuja is consistent ping. if its possible to get even 50 ping for a game like valorant with this router then i'll buy in a heartbeat. recently MTN 4G has been more than terrible so I'm honestly not sure how i feel about getting this router
I don’t think we have any network that can give 50 ping or below in Nigeria. Gaming here is just terrible
love the edit
The price of the 5G router is quite on the high side. I hope other competitors will crash the price cos everything MTN introduces always comes to Nigerians as a premium.
Most importantly, Nigerians did not enjoy the full speed of the 4G Spectrum in most cities not to talk of in the hinterlands, even at midnight, what makes you think that we are going to enjoy the full speed of the 5G Spectrum?
When most cities in Nigeria are connected, your guess will be as good as mine. 4G and 5G Spectrum in Nigeria is mostly for corporate enterprises like Banks and Oil and gas firms, who are willing and able to pay for the Ultra high speed that 5G spectrum provides.
I do not agree that the router is expensive! Try doing a search for the unlocked version of the router and you'd realize MTN has heavily subsidized it.
Even if you don't have 5G where you live, I believe this is worth buying considering 4G is even better with this router.
@@habeebonawole1003 is the 4G truly better with the 5G router?
Because I don't personally mind having a better 4G speeds without even the 5G
Mr. Fisayo... i have a 5g enabled smart phone(oppo Reno 8T 5g) but not sure how to go about using 5g on it .
Please education more on this... thank you
After watching this video I switched my phones network to 5G. Just to check 😅
Thanks for this! What do you think about the fibrenet broadband?
Hi Fisayo, I love your content!
So, quick question, does the Router come with a 5G SIM? Or, I'd have to get a 5G SIM separately?
Also, is there a way one can get a power bank (like the HynetFlex's) for the 5G router?
You don't know how I hate unlimited plans. I prefer specific plan sizes than unlimited
