For the first time I'm getting upto 300Mbps
Wired Mesh 🔥

gsparks01:
I can't access Stremio with starlink any more. Please who has a workaround?

having found a solution myself, let me share in case it's beneficial to anyone here...
Change DNS to
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15

✅

morikee:
The site dey open sha let me see if e go work here

It's working here

I don't understand how.. Both their main site and the app don't open. It used to before

morikee:
Are the Addons free or paid?

Stremio app isn't even opening with Starlink until i switch to MTN.

I can't access Stremio with starlink any more. Please who has a workaround?

dustmalik:
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.

lol is the standard plan not 57k? Why will anyone opt for 500gb and pay 200k 😂

johnnyholtby:
Yea, as I said earlier, the issue is your mesh node being wireless.
Try wired mesh.

thanks man. Let me check for the cable to buy

morikee:
Then your case is you are far from the router just get a good third-party router and extend or bypass

you're saying a 3rd party router would be better than starlink's own router 2?

johnnyholtby:
That's the bottleneck. You'll definitely get better speeds if your mesh node is wired.

If possible, disconnect the mesh (for now) and go directly below your mini. Ensure you're on the 5ghz band, then run a speed test.
I strongly believe you'll get better speeds with this.

yes I went to the roof and got 240Mbps

johnnyholtby:
Is your mesh node wired or wireless?

wireless

Current speed

morikee:
This is very poor may you’re far from the Mini dish or you’re on 2.4GHz try and check that

it's not 2.4ghz

senator282:
Go very close to your router ,text your speed at 3am to know the maximum speed you can get .

lol 3am ke? I have the mini mounted on my roof. Then I have the router 2 connected as mesh node

johnnyholtby:
A fellow pixel user

Is this the Mini?
Where's your location?

yeah, it's the mini
Location is Jos

johnnyholtby:
Nope. This is Gen 3 standard.
Had similar results on my Mini too....

omooooo
I don't think I've ever seen up to 200Mbps sef
Peak is always like 100 - 120
Is this unit defective?

johnnyholtby:
That's strange.

Even during peak hours, I still get good speeds.
I'd advise you message support and create a ticket.

this is the mini?

johnnyholtby:
Oh well....

Are you in Lagos?

no

johnnyholtby:
This is with starlink servers. Try with Ookla speed test, you should see better upload speed

their upload speed is still poor. We are unable to use starlink for streaming services at church because of the upload speed.

The upload speed is one of its biggest drawbacks

My starlink mini setup.

Starlink mini ₦354,300
Mounting pole ₦15,000
10m cat 6 cable ₦7,000
Outdoor waterproof
Ethernet extender ₦30,000
Carpenter to fix mount ₦4,000

Sub-Total: ₦410,300

Residential plan ₦57,000 (deducted on day of activation)

Total: ₦467,300
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.

the mini needs waterproof?

Adaowerri111:
Good morning, I got a new replacement from spaceX via DHL for my faulty starlink and with this thread I noticed im suppose to return the faulty one, up till now there is no email about return, pls how do I go about it?

different experiences. Except they ask for a return, keep it

ask4bk:
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

mini average consumption is 20w

I saw this and thought it was a close 1 nil win. Imagine my surprise when I checked scores and saw 4 nil 🤔

Op, are you being sarcastic?

Doing a search on NL is stressful especially when using more than a word. Instead of returning hits that contain both words, what we get are hits that contain one and hardly ever both.

Please update this.. You can do like twitter and give advanced search settings.

Well done

Since national grid issue, starlink doesn't connect!

I need yamaha p125 keyboard

Hallelujah

The day Nigerians accept that some of us will die if we hit the streets is the day we hit the streets. Right now, nobody wants to lose their life so we keep adjusting to the madness every regime gives us.

Donald3d:
Still available

200k

Oh okay

dustmalik:
No. It was clearly written at the top of their Nigerian site that it would only last till a certain date.

I just hope that we didn't abuse this installment payment they offered that they stopped it. Then again, it wasn't even up to a month before they stopped; not enough time for people to stop paying. 🤔

johnnyholtby:
This is my plan too. Gen 2 or Gen 3 router as wireless mesh node for my Mini. How's the range like with the Gen 2 router (especially for the 5ghz band)?

I'm not sure how you mean sha but the gen2 router does not create a new network but extends it. Before now, while inside the house my devices choose the 2.4ghz but now, all are on 5ghz and signal is full around the house (3 bedroom)
