naso someone go defend.

nigerian love defending poison

airtel odu is 25k
mtn fibre X is 30k

starlink is 57k with 25mbps

and you call it cheapest

if you are not one of the employee then thunder fire you
Starlink is 25mbps? Lol.
When mine is slow it's 250+mbps. Normally between 350-480mbps.

Which isp can give you that for 57k?

You compare with airtel and MTN of 50mbps base with lots of cutoffs and down time? Omo

Please stop blaming innocent Nigerians. Tell me one problem today that innocent Nigerians have caused. The major problem facing Nigeria today is mismanagement of our resources. Are innocent Nigerians to blame for this. So much money that should have been used for development has been stolen over the past so many years. This is the reason why there is no light, no water, no good road today. Imagine a former governor according to him from his mouth, sending $20,000, equivalent to about almost 30 million naira to a former president just to enable him to attend his birthday.
No one is denying the ill work of our govt, but you must be living outside Nigeria for you to not know how the normal grassroots Nigerians deal with themselves, cheat, inflate prices for fake products, sell and kidnap the poorest man for huge money demands, bring down his neighbors, the list can't be finished.
Govt deals with you as structural level which is quite essential, but your fellow simple Nigeria will deal with you in every daily social area of your life

See shame abeg.

I live in a part of Nigeria that has never seen electricity and may never see in the next 50 years.

We've lost hope on govt that Nigerians now create their own electricity, water, and even education.

God help us. I mean help all us including politicians and us citizens who even destroy the country with greed more than politicians

Good evening chief. I'm also experiencing same thing. I thought about paying the 32k too but it's only the standard skit that's listed there but I want the mini. Are you going for the standard kit and where is your location?
Just wait... Starlink announced yesterday they've cancelled wait list around the world. Maybe it's yet to take effect in Nigeria. Wait a bit and you'll be able to get from them fully

Since you live at Karu, try to see if there is availability in Keffi or the villages before Keffi. I think that distance should work.
Keffi is far oh.
I'll say he goes to his map a pick a place 2kms from him towards nassarawa and try. If it doesn't work he keeps extending to max 10km.
Even with that there's no certainly it will work because it seems starlink has fixed some satellite cells for some locations. So even if you put in nassarawa and it works, your dish won't link to satellites allocated for Abuja but will only search those nassarawa owns if at all it succeeds

Okay 👍
Did you bypass your Starlink?
No i didn't.
I wirelessly bridged the router to the starlink router and gave it access to 120mbps which is what I'm selling to the public. My starlink gives me about 400mbps, so i still have over 200mbps to myself no matter the traffic my clients create

It is not the Grandstream router that is having the issue,i haven't bought the Grandstream yet due to i already had some access points available before i heard of Grandstream,so i am saving up since then for next upgrade,i want to buy 5 straight up. I just want to know if you have encountered such issue with your Grandstream access point while using Starlink as the source?. Thanks for your response.
nope i haven't. The only time i had that problem was because i put another router in between starlink and the Grandstream. But after i rectified the settings in that router every app came back.

Long time boss, do you have issue of your Grandstream access point not opening certain app like Opay and JUMIA,have you experienced that with you access point?

Check the attached image and see the error message
It's from your source Internet. What you feed to the grandstream router is what it gives to public.
What is your source into the Grandstream? Starlink router straight or there's a router in between it and the grandstream?

Which company please? how do I know the best ones to get?
Not a company. You buy the materials differently (prob from different places) and get an installer. Small job

You can drop your watsup if you really want to get them

Starlink push one update it reduces power consumption by up to 20% so i dey see peak of 45W and average 35W
Don't follow what you see from the app. That likely just shows the wattage the dish is drawing without the router. Real life test with a meter shows 65-100w

Has anyone tried the iTel Power Tank 500 with Starlink, and how long does it last?
Just do the maths. If it's 1kwh LFP in it, that's 10hrs for starlink 100w load. So expect 7-9 hours from full charge

Hi everyone, please I need suggestions on the best solar solution to go for. The main things I want to power are the starlink mini, my laptop (hp probook 640g2) and my phones. I am going to be in a location where power supply is almost non existent, so I need a good source of power supply to work at least.

I wanted to go for the Lumos L1, but they are only doing complete sale these days (no more instalments).Plus I would like to know how people that have used it like it before I commit to it.

I just need a solar panel + battery combo system that works and the battery can last overnight at least. Main things to power are the starlink mini, laptop and about 2 phones. I will appreciate some suggestions.

Thank you so much.
That lumous won't help you. It only works with load less than 50w. Your starlink alone is more than that.
Get yourself a million and get a 12v lithium system. Money will you give a lasting solution you'll use for over 15yrs.

12v lithium battery of 4kw - 550k (or far less)
12v hybrid inverter - 280k
2 panels 500-600w - 220k

As long as its just starlink and laptop this is overkill for you. Don't do add your hairdryer one day oh. It's 12v. Will use high amps for huge loads.

Thank you so so much. Apparently I am understanding now that it might have happened because I now look very different from that picture in my NIN that was captured about 10 years ago because I have added some weight and also have some acne scars. So they said the solution is to update my recent picture with NIN, so I am in the process of doing that, then I will try the starlink verification again.
I appreciate that you responded. Thank you so much.
Very sorry... Hope it will be positive at the end. 🙏🏾

@utchayPro, just keep trying.
Try to remove all makeup before taking pics.
Or you put on the exact makeup you had when you did NIN

Hi everyone, please I need your advice/suggestions.

I ordered Starlink mini from the official website and was required to input my NIN to complete the registration before it can be shipped. Everytime I put in the required details (NIN and live picture), I get the feedback that my live picture does not match the details they have in their records. They also said I should take a picture in a place with good lighting and white background. I have taken numerous pictures in places with very good lighting and background, and none have been accepted. They have even temporarily barred me from attempting to upload any more images. I have downloaded the NIMC app to verify my NIN number, and everything looked fine there.

I'm so confused. What else can I do? I'm not in Nigeria at the moment but I know it's not supposed to affect anything. Or has anything changed with NIN recently? If anyone has experienced something similar, please share and let me know how you solved it. [/color][color=#000099]
Since you last did your NIN has anyone poured you acid on your face to disfigure it and now your present face doesn't align with pics on record?

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?
Service area is outside Abuja. I only put Abuja as delivery because i wanted to receive it at Abuja and then take it to the state it is set up for.

Thanks everyone for the response, which box do you recommend that can wirelessly connect to my Starlink mini without having to get the ethernet cable. We live in a bungalow so I doubt we would be needing a router. My Starlink won't come with the Ethernet cable but I thought Airtel would work so I thought of buying the cable.

Also, if it's a must that I have to use a router, must I get Starlink's Ethernet cable?
Whether you want to expand it wirelessly or via the Ethernet cable, you will need a router.
For wireless, a router that can connect to it wirelessly and expand. Some non-router devices can still be used. I recommend the archer c6 or c80 (costlier) using the WDS function. You can use those cheap wireless extenders too and may still serve you perfectly.
For the Ethernet own, compulsorily you'll get a router to transform the Ethernet cable into Wi-Fi, except you are plugging the cable straight into a home device for Internet consumption, then you won't need router

Greetings to you boss.
I want to ask you something
If you are using enterprise grade outdoor access point. Do you use dual band for business(clients)
Like do you broadcast 2 SSID for subscribers (one 2.4ghz and one 5ghz) or you use one SSID (with dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz combined in one SSID name).


I don't know if you understand my point
Which do you think it's better?
I do understand. I set each ssd to work on all bands, so phones connect to the best one they can connect to. Some Clients use very old phones. I've like 3 ssid, one with portal so that clients have to get a voucher before they can access. One with no portal for phones that won't allow portal but I've to get their phone mac address and white list it and they connect. All of this is so that even if they share the password, they can't connect since both systems white list with mac address.
