Is 5G in Nigeria REAL? - MTN 5G Router Review!

[@FisayoFosudo]

Would you be getting an MTN 5G Router? Reply Below 👇🏾Let's Chat!

[@DaggerGGs]

Yes I need it

[@MOSHEHTV]

You didnt mention something Pls is the router a universal one or not?

[@Blanncheq]

Yup,.....eventually. when there's 5g in somolu

[@samuelodan2376]

Absolutely, even just for 4G, it’s all I’ve been asking for.

[@pelumi5]

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 🙏

[@EddysReviews]

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.

[@nwakubastan]

I think Mtn should make unlimited subscription available for the router. That's the only way it can sell

[@wissamyahfoufi3824]

I agree on that specially that the expansion of their fiber is so slow.

[@ifehansson2254]

Unlimited? You are of course joking

[@michaelmaximos8182]

we waiting for starlink

[@wissamyahfoufi3824]

@@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

[@nwakubastan]

@@michaelmaximos8182 Starlink subscription will be costly but unlimited. It's now $110 per month.

[@Blanncheq]

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

[@samuelodan2376]

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.

[@FisayoFosudo]

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.

[@trustee1108]

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.

[@trustee1108]

@@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. 😏

[@chrisezeson]

@@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.

[@sultanreviews174]

Appreciate this Video From Sierra Leone 🇸🇱

[@dr.elijahkayodeige8709]

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?

[@FisayoFosudo]

You can check out the video we did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmK3dX6cesSBa5I

[@FisayoFosudo]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@_samuelajayi]

Please, can I get the name/link of the powerbank/battery pack you used for the router? Great video BTW.

[@jeffrey_chuks]

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.

[@goodnesstaiwo1168]

Exactly my taught, there is no much traffic on the 5G network right now.

[@nvignesh]

Audio seems to be a bit muffled or something wierd, maybe just me?

[@renziie2804]

@@nvignesh nope def sounds weird

[@RNBRADAR]

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 🙏🏾

[@inyenepaul1670]

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.

[@timeyinsholaye9169]

Omo it's so annoying. Even with the power Bank connected like in this video, it powers off before coming back on

[@merrytv1963]

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

[@jamesajike374]

But that's why it comes with power bank

[@drwales]

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.

[@oyinlolaomoniyianuoluwapo5299]

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.

[@tadiwapfachi]

love the new background✊

[@Uhriemefe]

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.

[@dmedilicious8488]

they know what they're doing

[@osasdestiny8358]

Its a planned wrk

[@bnnett]

What servers were you connected to during the speed test? We’re they local servers or international servers? Because that makes a difference.

[@tobisupreme]

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.

[@techieddie1]

Exactly my thoughts, like why would he use Speed test to judge COD ping rate 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@EIsenah]

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

[@victorangel999]

Thank God that 5g is becoming a reality in Nigeria 🎉

[@GiftIdeh-cg7id]

Brr that's not 5G speeds

[@SamuelJoseph962]

4g speeds

[@marketmercenaries]

just can't wait to own this i pray it has a good battery backup though

[@philiposazeorukpe1703]

nice one boss.. its cool... Good info.. lovely video.. it flowed well.

[@richardabdalla1275]

I think the USB C port can power it too, Did you try a powerbank with an 18W output (12*1.5) ?

[@jpk1700]

Great content as always. Why did the 4G speeds drop significantly though?

[@ifehansson2254]

Chances are they deliberately slow down 4g to encourage take up of 5g

[@inyenepaul1670]

[@Pici3k]

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".

[@Bello9848]

That's a bit tyrannical no?

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.

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.

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

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..
