If it is coming from the US it will take a while, mine took almost 4 weeks to get to me in Ibadan.

Any update on your guys' order? I placed mine on Monday, and it's still pending. Maybe they ran out of stock or something.

How did you remove this thing?

Hi there.
I'm looking to get this inverter setup for a grandma. I know I will get a PWM charge controller but where I'm blocked for now is the battery type. Does this inverter + PWM work well with deep cycle gel battery?

those old first generation inverter

Thank you

If you’re on the residential plan, don’t bother taking it with you

I NEED ANSWERS
So I have a starlink mini that is mounted at my place in Ibadan, just today I got a notice that I will need to attend a training in Lagos from March 2nd till sometime in April (6 weeks).
Now I want to know if my Starlink will work there or I shouldn't bother myself taking it with me
Has anyone tried it before?

Hope he is not trying to scam you.
When the partnership was announced, only direct to cell connectivity was mentioned for 14 countries in Africa and till today there isn't any mention of Airtel offering starlink data plans or kit

Apparently, Airtel and Starlink have gotten into a partnership, or so the dealer that sent me this info claimed. It doesn't really make sense to me at all.

Which state and what address did you put?

Jane111:
Good evening to you all.

I am about to but starlink, my address is covered when I imputed my address on their website, and it says I should pay 32k advance, please my question is this, how long does it take to get it? Also, would they be sending it to my house or there is a pick up location?

Please kindly help with this information.

I am grateful.

It is not about water flow only in this case.

- First, even if you use a regular cat6 cable and just plug it in directly, to remove it later will be a struggle and you might even damage the port while doing so, and regular cat6 cable are not outdoor rated meaning the sun heat can damage them.

- The waterproof extender cable is not to stop water flow from entering, it is to prevent moist and also water that the wind will blow in its direction during rainfall.

I asked starlink YouTuber AYTechExcellent how my cable would look if I want to plug it in directly without issue, and he responded with the picture below, it means I would have to cut off some part of the cable head so it is easier to remove later on.
So I got the extender as recommended even by him (and other YouTube videos I watched) if you don't want to go through that trouble and risk.

Why do you need an ethernet extender of 30k, is the ethernet cable you bought isn't long enough to connect directly from your starlink to your router indoor?
And as for the waterproof stuff. Buying that little waterproof stuff isn't really necessary. You can use those black rubber waterproof tape to seal that ethernet port space in the starlink. That aside, depending on how U slope the starlink when positioning it, water may not flow towards the direction of the ethernet port

Starlink itself is waterproof, but to use the ethernet port with a regular cat 6 cable instead of the expensive starlink ethernet cable which has waterproof protection, it is better to use a waterproof ethernet cable extender (this is only for the starlink mini).

I already have the ecoflow power station and the gl.inet router.

Been using it for over 10 days now, no issue whatsoever. When rain fell this week it was still working albeit a little bit slower.

It was nothing special, I inputted the NIN and I turned on my lights (it was 6am) and took a selfie, that was all.

UtchayPro:
Did you have any issues with your NIN verification? How did you take a suitable picture to upload there that they accepted? I have tried everything. They are not accepting. Please share the steps you did to verify your account before they shipped, thank you.

Mine too was shipped on the 20th but it hasn't arrived at Ibadan yet.

But I thought Abuja has no capacity again, how were you able to order?

ask4bk:
Wow. Sorry. I ordered on 15th which is 7 days after urs and i got mine delivered to Abuja today 23rd.
