The starlink wifi router is super fast and the coverage can go quite a good distance to cover the entire house. However, it didn’t meet my expectations in terms of Control and use. It should have features such as
Users management
* device block/unblock
* device data allocation
* parental control features
* content filtering
Etc



Best thing that has happened to me as a Nigerian is starlink
Thye now support content filtering

yes I found out they rolled out an update last week, still need to add device manage (block/unblock) or even data allocation.

There’s a new way you can boost your Starlink connection to work even fast and with lesser latency though the difference might seem little but I’m sure when they add up it would go a long way especially if you game online or stream live sessions or broadcast with your Starlink… the solution is the new Custom DNS feature on the Starlink router settings. I did run my tests for about 6-8hours to see which server’s DNS is most suitable in my geographical location and the best is Cloudflare’s DNS 1.1.1.1 and then google’s 8.8.8.8
My DNS setting Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) primary, google (8.8.8.cool secondary
I’ll drop a YouTube link below where you can watch to have a broader understanding👇🏻👇🏻

I think it’s time to update my billing to my naija debit card now, 38k monthly charges will now be withdrawn from my naija card. Starlink have started processing payments in naira, that’s good.

Yeah. Except for now, you can't add naira card with ease. Apparently, they are still working on that.

How about the dollar card ? Do they still accept payment in USD
