You don't need to call customer care. As long as its a new device (unactivated). there is an option
if you already have a device. It's mostly used for both new and transfer of old accounts to a new person (more complicated)
Besides there are many Youtube and text tutorials about how to do this.

Because of the crime in Nigeria, starlink has banned Nigerians and Brazilians from transferring accounts except the account has been used for 6 months, then the ability to be transferred will be open.

So I got the AX23 (EU) cos price difference was just 10k. Didn't see any US router though.
5Ghz channels are limited to Band 1 (36 - 48)
Flashed Openwrt custom firmware on it and all the 5Ghz channels were unlocked.
Now here's the thing, I reverted back to OEM firmware but flashed the US version. Router rebooted and I was still stuck with Band 1 channels. Went back to Openwrt sha. Will be making use of that till I get a US router.
Although I sent them a mail to see if there's a special firmware file for switching to US version with 3 band channels unlocked, since they're unlocked in OpenWRT.
I'm in Nigeria, not the EU 😁

With those low 5ghz channels you still face the starlink router problem of some devices not seeing the 5ghz signal right?
Coz I know the phones that don't see 5ghz channels using require channels above 100.

You for just buy the one I told you. I doubt using a WiFi 6 router makes a difference since starlink speed doesn't reach WiFi 5 speed limit sef

yad2eidi:
for 800k omo the go rob you

But hope you know selling starlink dish without the details is like stealing a brick stone. You can't use it for anything without the details

If naira doesn't get back to N600 then this government is a failure. You've to get it back to where you met it before Tinubu made those pronouncements on inauguration day.

You can't move dollar from N600 to 1900 and back to 1200 and expect us to jubilate. Nigerians can easily be deceived.

To deceive Nigerians, if you want to raise something that was for eg 2k to 9k, just first of all increase it to 20k... They'll shout and shout and then you later reduce to 9k. And Nigerians will celebrate forgetting they were at 2k before.

I've eaten frog, but this one be like toad oh. Kai

PotatoSalad:
Thanks boss
How many devices on both bands?
Running a smart home and have close to 80 devices

Google says 128. I never connect more than 10 devices yet.

PotatoSalad:
Please recommend a good router for Starlink. Dual band with all the channels.
Not overkill though.

TP-LINK Archer C80

That's what I use. Gives me constant 5ghz on those devices that don't catch starlink router's 5ghz.
I get down speed of 350mbps with it in the North of Nigeria. Last price I saw it at was 60k though I bought mine 43k last year.

Abeg my people, I need help based on what UPS to get. I want to power my laptop, a 27" monitor and Starlink, just for the brief moment before I switch to Gen. Please advise which type I can get.

I use a 1kva abi 1000watt UPS and works well with my starlink, dstv, android box and tv, keeping me live till power is changed.

I once used only my starlink on the ups and it worked for 45min before going off

damseremie:
Hi Everyone.
I just tried paying for my Starlinnk Subscription with my GTB Bank Card. ( which typically always works) .
For some reason, It's not working oooo.
Has this happened to anyone? Has GTB stopped payments because of the dollar wahala?

Happened to me too oh.
I had to move to Ecobank card which they accepted. I'm surprised Gtb stopped

PotatoSalad:
Profit motive is good when it operates within moralistic boundaries. Take away those boundaries and the motive becomes greed.
Many Nigerians don't know this..

It's even crazier when you know that these thieves selling the kit at 900k probaby manage the accounts of some of their naive customers who don't even know starlink has an app, and bill them like crazy. I mean, anyone foolish enough to spend 500k extra on a kit has an empty brain.
Well, to each their own.

I know a guy paying 75k monthly in ibadan to resellers for monthly subscription. He doesn't know he's cheated. The resellers don't give you log in details. They say when you want to renew, pay to the 75k. And clients pay coz they enjoying smooth starlink service

Abeg subhuman na him de become subhero abi?

I like half smart people like you.
So what government is saying is that
1. Sellers bid high rates not based any fundamentals but purely speculative, thereafter that rate becomes the benchmark for Mallams that sells Dollar by the road side.
2. You use Naira to buy digital dollar, the total digital dollar transacted in Nigeria is What the government estimated to be over $20billion.
3. Those who are transacting these businesses are not know to the financial system, no KYC.
4. After buying the so called digital dollar, you then use it to do illegal transactions like payment of ransom, receipt of proceeds of yahoo from pickers etc
5. Don't just mention Egypt because they are in a very serious mess with their currency and are only doing what Jonathan and Buhari did, holding the values artificially, but for how long.
What you didn't tell us was why Binance was charged for money laundry in USA, paid a heavy fine (which they should pay here too in Nigeria) and their CEO, Zang was forced to resign.
Nigeria national interest is supreme to any other interest. Those of you claiming to be making money on the B2B platform in Binance are responsible for where Naira is today and no wonder you are crying over it. You only make money when Naira goes further down and you guys kept pushing it further down with your greeds. Unfortunately, you people cry the most that Naira is losing value,yet you are responsible.
Nigeria is bigger than all of you. God pass all of you.

Your number 4 point is the only valid point of criticism against crypto currency worldwide and not just Nigeria. It can be used for crime without trace. Yet crypto is accepted widely even in USA you talking about. It's the future of money. Money evolves.

The rest of your points still show you don't understand the issue well.
I love how you changed ur narrative now to say the naira people transacted are worth 20 billion USD. You didn't use the CBN lie that 20 billion USD left the country which is the deception they are selling. Because in P2P no local currency leaves the country.
Instead the government is responsible for taking our money away to other countries by not producing to sell, but only buying foreign products. The government doesn't promote locally made food and other products.
Recent Tinubu convoy, over 40 Toyota cars where counted, in a country that produces cars. Spend naira in Nigeria so that the money stays here, but they prefer to give money to Japan in billions of USD. Then the blame the ordinary man in Binance who is not even moving naira away from Nigeria.

Zhao admitted to directly collaborating in money laundering, he was caught and he admitted. That has nothing to do with Binance company. It's his crime. Binance only gives you crypto, future of money, and let's you have access to it. Binance being banned in some places is based on that your valid 4th point. But no sensible country has banned them or accused them of devaluing their money. That's economical fallacy.

I've Binance and before I could ever do anything with it, I did a KYC. I gave them my passport and other info. So the issue of Binance not doing KYC is a big lie the government is using to support their ineptitude.


If you all don't call up the wrong of this government and somehow think it's the lay Nigerian man spoiling the country, then you are not truthful and a part of the problem.

The government has to produce and consume Nigerian products to improve naira

Lifestone:
Oga calm down. This is a piece of decision that was long overdue but because of weak leadership, we couldn't tackle it. Go and trade Crypto in China and see what will happen.
That platform was bidding higher rates to make more profits and that floats into the economy. It's unregulated and therefore contraven the investment and financial laws in Nigeria.

This shows that you and the government are equally clueless to how Binance and P2P works.
First of all, prices are not fixed by Binance but by sellers who are speculators. That's why the price for dollar in Binance is always same as street price.

In P2P, Mr. A in Nigeria has naira and wants to buy dollar. Mr B in Nigeria has dollar and wants to sell to get naira. Both Mr A and B have accounts in Nigeria in naira. Mr. A contacts Mr B on Binance and they agree to trade. Mr A sends naira from his Nigerian account to the Nigerian account of Mr B. Mr. B confirms he has got the money, and Binance releases the coin to Mr. A.

In the above transaction, did 1 naira leave Nigeria? No.
Money only moved from bank A to bank B all in Nigeria. Though banks won't know what the movement was for just like when you pay a store owner money for what you bought and naira leaves your account to his account all in same Nigeria.

So the narrative that 20b USD left Nigeria is false and easy way to deceive people just to run from accountability of their failure.

Binance gets money when you internally move coins, and not when you do P2P.
Is it not same government that once thought aboki Fx was the cause of naira decline? Imagine! Same energy leading them to attack Binance now.

They are only specialised in bringing Nigerians to top suffering. Give us dollar, no. Now let's buy digital dollar with naira remaining in the country, no again.

All the developed countries trading P2P in Binance are they idiooots? Even Egypt with failing currency, they not blaming Binance cos that will be foolishhhh way of thinking

9jatriot:
Binance was designed to be an exchange. That means, if I need a particular currency TO DO SOMETHING, I look for someone who needs my currency and has the currency I need. Nigerians on the other hand, even if they do not need the currency just go and make the money unproductive.

But Nigerians turned it into a tool to sabotage the Nation, although I admit for a lot of people, that was not the intent, but it has had the attendant effect of sabotaging the nation to the turn of 26B USD that CBN cannot trace, no responsible government if made aware of it will seat back and look on.

Note, this is just one of the things that they have done among many others.

Hope the lamba king is learning how to be a purposeful leader. It is not by shouting "if you add the number of cows in China and divide it by the number of goats in Japan, then you will have consumption to production"

Even as a husband and a father, you get to make very difficult decisions that people in the home may not understand or agree with at that time but when the rewards show up, they may even be the ones that enjoy the rewards the most.

That is leadership. You identify the threats and start dealing with them. You can accuse the CBN of trial and error or whatever but what you cannot accuse them of is sitting back and letting things deteriorate.


However, those with financial knowledge agree that CBN is taking a series of decisions that compliment each other, it iis only when you look at them in isolation that it looks like it they do not know what they are doing.

CBN says 26B passed through Binance in the last one year and somehow did not enter the banking system, the CBN cannot seat back and accept defeat. I am proud of them

The other developed countries that have their currency in Binance area they fooools?
The clueless gouvernent asked for a floating naira. What floats better than p2p rates? He's seeing how his I'll decision is bringing down the country and instead of blaming himself, he's attacking institutions that have nothing to do with rate determination.

FCFA is 650 to 1usd.... FCFA that was 3 times less than naira is more 2.5 times more than naira in a space of 9 months.
He's a failure and needs to admit it

This one hit me badly sha.

We shall still survive. Very sad

Bring her back, and leave the rest to us. She gon luurn.

Did they just call the lion agressive and kill it for that?

They expected another behaviour from a lion?

Brightspecimen:
What's the duration?

One month na.

38k every month.

With this naira fall, maybe Elon musk go increase am again 😭😭

Starlink
38k... Unlimited.

Though the highest I've used in a month is 800gb, coz i don't use dstv and stream all my channels online.

There are people who use 3 terabyte in a month. Wetin dem de use am do, only God knows.

They should also ban the Bible then

As in... If those words are in the bible, they claim they are criminal and against the laws of the land, the next logical thing to do should be to ban the bible in UK.

Clueless people who have too much thirst for blood

For those wondering wetin concern us with another man currency...
Nigeria produces almost nothing. Most things come from outside and outside deals with dollars. The higher it goes, the costlier the things you'll need to basically survive in the country.

On top of it, your naira income remains stagnant either from your work place or work hustle. If you could sustain your family with 70k monthly when babablu entered, today you'll need 150k.

For the greedy folks happy naira is falling coz they earn in Fx... Just know that even if dollar is 100 naira, you'll still buy your iPhone in naija for N140k. Your dollar will still have its value, but the naira falling will destroy the live of millions of Nigerians who hold a volatile currency like naira. If the naira increases, you with your dollar and the poor man will also have easier life.

Its not about having more naira when you change dollar, but about the purchasing power of the naira.

What do I know?
You all will still say "may the naira fall favour me and my family" when it favours no one.

morikee:
All i can say is i had 100% positive experience with Starlink.

I thought I was alone getting 360mbps

Vinnie2000:

My brother, na human being I be, no be vibranium 😁

pachigo001:
come to igbo land and see how we are defending ourselves we don’t wait for government

I'm igbo, my village CANNOT defend us from 200 armed men with Ak47 and on a bike.

You've no idea how these idiotsss operate.

Samba189:
That's terrible, But Benue people should rise and defend there self abi na insiders or what I no understand.
Tor Tiv wetin be ur work for God sake since government have failed to secure your people.

Bandits armed soldiers have hard time stopping is who you want local villagers to defend.
With what? Local guns against AKs?
Defend how with only culasseses?
Will you sell 200 AK 47 to villagers cheap and tell police to let them keep assault weapons?

Think before you make statements.

Its government to defend citizens, not citizens against terrorists

Sholuwa241:

I've lived in Abidjan for long and their go slow is too much in there.
The road to Ebimpe stadium is narrow and will take hours of go slow to get there

PotatoSalad:
Interesting. My starlink came from their Lagos warehouse.

Main stuff comes from Lagos at first order. Any other replacement equipment, you go wait tire from USA

PotatoSalad:
Surprising that most Starlink equipment are already at their warehouse in Lagos.

Well, I definitely got 2 starlink equipments that took 2 months, and when I got the courier service tracking it passed from USA through Germany, Spain, Lagos and then Abuja.

Look at the genius homemade over roof stand this guy did before I helped him install his starlink.

Very firm and cheap
