I read on reddit some were able to do it with zero issue but the kit has to be left unused for some time

But if starlink catch you 100% you will pay for full kit price
I no want Starlink wahala oooo

Be like Starlink no get available replacement units on ground cus they keep shifting delivery

Woooow! That's a loophole you just revealed. Both the old and the replacement will still work with one single account paymenthuh It will surprise me if starlink let's this happen permanently for these replacement cases.

Starlink once sent me a replacement router and I'm still using the old router because i repaired the power problem that spoiled in it before that warranted a replacement. I'm using the new one as Mesh to extend network around house. But routers are different from dish. The dish is where the account is linked and not the router
Please how did you repair the gen 2 router,i can't wait for the replacement to arrive, it's taking too long to shipped out. Please how can i repair my router

Why not opt for buying from Starlink authorized distributors then they will refund it for you in credit

Mine was gen that blew the power area inside. I had a friend's router that his router mother board was bad, so router useless. So i opened the two, i took the power board from the one with damaged mother board and replaced with my bad power board and it came back to life. The mother board is the main router, so i still had all my settings in place. I just kuku started using the new router starlink sent to do mesh

They also shifted my own,i think they prioritise new buyers first before those asking for replacement.

Of course there's significance difference in speed between the two.

Na why i complained about slowness of my Gen2 speed. After much remote inspection, they changed it to Gen3 for me at no extra cost with 1 month free sub credited to my account

My live photo verification keeps failing with "does not match NIN records" error despite clear lighting, white background, deleting priors, and confirming exact match with NIMC-multiple attempts made.
