Ritual that has no bearing on true religion and spirituality.

267th successor of St. Peter the first pope.

Tell me about your own "true" religion. Are they traceable to any apostle of the 1st century?

Watching the whole Pope death and re-election, everybody including atheists has been astonished in the order, neatness and discipline of the Catholic church. If you see bad in it, then problem na you.

Sapiosexuality:
Wow! That's a problem.

Rain has been affecting your dstv for 20+ years. Isn't that a problem too? Rain disturbs anything satellite

Darey00:
That was what I did. Straightforward add to cart.

Delivered within 3 days. I didn't even have to create an account

I got 10 from them in Abuja. I didn't even go to their site. Just called their number, they continued by writing me on WhatsApp, they sent their bank account, I sent transfer and the next day they brought to my house. Na one rude Indian man answer me for phone sha. I for knack am plank with the way him dey answer me

HeavenlyBang:
Maybe the Abuja house is on Band A?

Nope... It's confirmed to be on band B.

It could also be that that nepa meters cheat on us. Why no one thinking this is possible? If meters at filling stations cheat, mtn and other mobile networks cheat on what they call 1gb, why can't NEPA be cheating too. This is Nigeria oh

Guys please here me out.

I've been completely off grid for a long while now.
Now I connected a coulomb meter to my solar setup to see how much I consume. In 4 months I've used 880kw. That's 220kw per month.
Let's do small maths:
If I'm on band A charged at N206/kw that's 220x206 = N45,320 I've to pay in a month to nepa supposing I've the 24/7 electricity that my offgrid solar gives me.
If I'm on band B at N65/kw that's 65x220= N14,300

Now, I've another house at Abuja that uses less electricity than this offgrid home. In fact, we put on NEPA for only 2 hours every day to carry a load of about 300wh. Yet we load electricity of 15k and barely finishes the month. In Abuja, average homes that just use light, TV, charge phones, fridge and fans (no AC) use nepa cards of over 25k in a month.


Is there a configuration corruption in the way NEPA read their units or kw? Why will my offgrid solar give me a value of 14k per month with 24/7 electricity but NEPA with only 10 hours per day and some days without light, will need electricity card of about 30k to have light?

What's wrong?

Oem18:
Not everyone installs it by themselves, and how can an average user adjust it once installed on a roof.

To some it is worth it to others itsnt

Any user that can climb roof and install gen2 himself will find it easy to install gen3 with the manual adjustment.
Any user who can't install gen2 and needs someone to do it for him, will still need someone to help him install gen3.

You made it seem as if gen3 is harder and that some who could install gen2 themselves may not be able to install gen3 coz of the manual adjustment. That's false.

This still proves that the marketing price of over 50k+ on the gen2 isn't logical in any sense.

It's not my business sha. God bless the hustle of those selling them.

Oem18:
Because it is the kit that could adjust itself automatically unlike gen 3 and mini which can't

So someone will pay 50k extra because of less than 1 minute of manually adjusting gen3 dish using the app?

Lol

ibietela2:
Interesting

No mind am. You will still need to position it right only that you'll do it manually using the app helping you to move left and right, something that was automatic in the former version. It's a downgrade.

Just that gen 3 will be the standard and if you remain with gen 2 you won't be able to get it's part after few years. Everyone will eventually be forced to switch

senator282:
But the Router is WiFi 6 ,a good upgrade.
I don't like the dish but i like the Router of the Gen 3.

The dish is bigger, has no automatic motor to position it.... Despite all of this gets same data download as the old one. Doesn't look like an upgrade apart from the fact that it now comes with Ethernet ports

mrvitalis:
Some people are just ignorant

I am from mbaise and I know this story very well

1) a Bishop every 3 years submit 3 names to pope for his possible replacement
2) mbaise Bishop dies out of over 90 names he submitted during his time as Bishop... None was picked
3) cardinal Arinze picked someone from his place... Note awka has 300 priest and has produced 5 Bishops ... Mbaise has 800 priest and hasn't produced a Bishop

4) mbaise people rejected saying no to Bishop from. Awka.... Later accepted a Bishop from. Umuahia then later and mbaise Bishop was appointed

Mbaise didn't reject him because he is not mbaise no... The rejected him because 1) it didn't follow the rule 2) they suspected foul play from. Cardinal Arinze

And when Pope Francis heard the real story okpalake reigned to save face

That's the Igbo spirit... We told the 1.4 Catholics we can never accept injustice and the we didn't until the right thing was done

If you want to spin it go ahead

Don't you feel shame typing what you just said?
We didn't reject him.... (later) we rejected him...
Shame is a good thing to have. It helps you avoid embarrassment.

If you see the new cardinal today, can you proudly greet and hug him since you said your problem wasn't with him but with another person?
I guess not. Your hearts are filled with hatred till today for that man who did nothing to you guys. His only crime was his identity.

odimbannamdi:
I see! Within what period (minutes or hours or days) should this 4+ power outages happen after which it will reset?

Not really total outage. Flickering of power. Consecutive low and normal current (flickering in seconds) can trigger it

odimbannamdi:
My oga, please which ethernet adapter do you recommend and where can I get it? Kindly share pics at your convenience too

Also, what exactly are Enterprise Level Access Point and POE, and are there any you recommend?

Please forgive my lame questions. This is not my forte

Read the page before this. It was the major issue and was well treated with full recommendations. We don't want to repeat issues not directly about starlink

odimbannamdi:
Sparingly. Could that be an issue??

That's the ONLY reason why it'll reset and change. Starlink only needs 4+ power blinks to reset.
Buy a UPS to stay in-between power socket and starlink and it'll absorb the power fluctuations

Dam5reey1:
I have if you need them

Post your results and findings pls, for Valto battery capacity test

macuwon:
please i have two residential starlink devices tied to my address. Now i want to upgrade one of them so i can cater for about 200 users. I am looking at going for the business plans but from my little research, i read that i'll need to order for a new device to use the business plan.

But the issue is when i go to their order page, its saying i should join the waiting list that service is currently at capacity in my area. what does this mean and what can i do as alternative? Thanks

Why would you need a business plan when you are already on an unlimited residential plan?
If your need is to cater for 200 persons, just get the Ethernet adapter and a good access point and your residential plan will serve them well adequately.

senator282:
Gtbank is working for the past 6 months till today still working.

Maybe I'll move back to Gtb.
I swapped from Gtb when they stopped working over a year ago. Guess they've rectified it

There was a time Gtbank card stopped working for starlink.
Is Gtb working again?
My Ecobank works but expiring next month and I can't renew card till June.
I only have Gtbank and Zenith card remaining. Poster above is complaining again that Zenith isn't working.

Anyone using Gtbank or Zenith?

Only in Nigeria the party of the governor and LG chairman determines who wins the election and not the people.

Election by humans in Nigeria is a waste of time. The leaders prepare the results for the people under their territory before elections begin. The people staying under sun and rain to vote is just a waste of time.

This is why APC will rejoice about leaders moving to them not if they have won the confidence of the people.

I spit on this country and her flag, tweeeh

One is known without anyone knowing his father.

One is known, not because of his wealthy father, but because he made a name for himself.

The other one is only known because of his father. No one knows anything he has achieved on his own.

oaice:
Guys, Can I get the starlink on Ebay. Can I buy directly from the US?
I do not want to buy from these Nigerian sellers offering cut throat prices.

Just be patient. You'll soon buy from starlink less than 600k

twosquare:
I'm not in a hurry. Waiting for Chinese satellites' SpaceSail (Qianfan and Guo Wang) to roll out...I may not buy into American expensive stuff. Go China!

OK sir

oluwapoju:
Yeah I got the 7664ELR

So far it's been great, at least for the outdoor coverage. I got some signal, but not that strong at 256m. I'm still testing is though.
I plan to increase the height to see if I can get better strength.

250m is already too much. Why would you want it beyond that? This is impressive though.

senator282:
Just to confirm, the device you bought is the Grandstream GWN7664ELR?
Have you started using it and does it meet your expectations in terms of range, stability, performance etc?

Lol... That's what I use. Performance is great. I tested range of 150+m but just because there's a big wall in front of the access point and front of wall is a big cluster of trees. Yet, it penetrates them and gets to extra 150m. It'll be reached the documented 300m if I had no obstacle I believe. That's a super long distance.

My only problem with it is that, once power goes off, coming back on, the captive portal somehow stops working and everyone can connect freely. The solution I got was to enter the SSID, remove the captive portal and add it again and it's back to normal. They need to fix that.

oluwapoju:
rapidbts. ng, their office is at allen avenue ikeja

There are many versions.
Which one did you get?
GWN7664ELR or another?

oluwapoju:
I just got the Grandstream access point and the poe+ switch... I will need some guidance from you sir, how can I reach you

Connect the poe+ to starlink via Ethernet cable. Then poe+ to your access point.
Go to gdms.cloud to create an account. When they reply, you log in and add your access point to the cloud management. When successful, reset your device and it'll be managed by cloud and you can do all your settings as you wish from the cloud site or mobile app GWN.

I learnt it all from YouTube tutorials oh. You can search and watch videos there and get to know what to do. If I could, you will too very easily.

brightk:
this is not a direct activation via starlink. I want to believe it's either 75k monthly n men de use 15k de press. D question is u go do abi u nor go do

Nigerians ehn.
I'm sure it's Nigerian workers with starlink that are pressing this secret buttons to update/activate guys.
Nigerians go use your business do business.

seunpayne:
After this write up, na idea you dey use argue no be fact and that one no dey help anybody. Read the spec sheet line by line for the two and leave your calculations alone. That’s not how MIMO signals are measured.

If na so 25W POE+ access point dey beam signal reach na only one people go dey buy for hotel na.

I forgot to add the fact that we are comparing an indoor AP (Unifi) with an Outdoor AP (GS)

E say na hectares. No worry. Nothing to lose if I concede. Grandstream na the best AP for this world.

I know how MU-MIMO works.
No be theory I de use talk oh. I know range the access point dey give me.
I put am for a spot surrounded by compound walls, then very thick trees vegetation behind the walls. This should normally reduce the range coz of obstructions. Yet, 150m behind the tress people are still browsing with same access point connected to my starlink that's far away which is super impressive. If not for the obstructions, it could get to the stated 300m.

But are they activating residential plan or something else? And why 90k

seunpayne:
Sorry o. E go be like say I dey find trouble but I have been a network engineer for almost 10 years and I can tell you the comparision isn't complete sir. They are closer than you have implied.

To start with the grandstream in question is the long range (LR) variant. To compare properly, you should compare to the U6 Pro-LR. It also has 4 x 4 mimo on 2.4Ghz bands.

Also the grandstream range is 300m (the data sheet doesn't specify in square meters). The U6 Pro-LR is 185 square meters. Grandstream has more range but its 2x at best not 2000...(you sef, try dey calm down...even grandstream go shout for that claim).

The grandstream is a very great device (especially when you consider it's price) no doubt. But Unifi didn't become the silver standard in enterprise grade networking by mistake.

To be clear, side by side comparison, the U6 Pro-LR is better than the Grandstream GWN7664ELR. In actual use, a person might not need up to half of the features crammed into the U6 and the grandstream is cheaper and does the basics very well so I would also recommend it for most non-enterprise setups.

Lol... I only did Maths. I didn't exaggerate.
Grandstream GWN7664ELR does 300m range. Let's use maths to calculate the square meters.

300 m omnidirectional refers to a radius in all directions — it's describing a range, not area directly.

300 meters of omnidirectional coverage is only a radius of a circle (not diameter):

Area = πr² =3.14 x (300)² ≈ 282,743m²

The unify access point I compared it with covers only 140m². That's literally 2000 times better in coverage/range.

You were right in saying I did unfair comparison. I didn't know unify had an outdoor enterprise level access point. Let's compare the Grandstream with the U6-PRO-LR then.

U6-PRO-LR covers 185m² as you claimed. I think you are confusing meters with meter square. You need to convert to same unit to compare. You compared Grandstream 300m which is in meters and not m² to unify that is in m². 300m radius = 282,000+m². That's 1500 times better coverage than your suggested unify LR.

A unify LR can't even cover quater of a hectare, but the Grandstream covers over 28 hectares. No comparison.

Unify is just like apple iPhone that's the cool thing to use, and so the company keeps giving low specs and people pay too much for it like iPhone. I even heard that to use cloud management you have to pay and subscribe montly. Something that's free with grandstream and tp-link. Chai.

I agree with you that unify has many services and features more than Grandstream, but they are mostly gimmicks that 98% of users won't need for an enterprise level access point. There settings options are cool though. Grandstream gives you basics.

Then you insulted Grandstream by saying you will recommend it only for non enterprise use. 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣. Something that takes 750+ clients compared to lesser for unify entreprise Access points. Chai... That insult enter sha 😁😁.

Mariangeles:
Okay. Let me use that phrase you used Cancelled it in my house.
A single person would just say I cancelled it.

House or home usually means family, especially in our Nigerian understanding, you get?

😁😁😁
I no get. That's just what you think. But that's not what English language and I think. My house simply means my house. There's no F involved in the sentence not to talk of Family 😁
