You can ask questions here so that others can learn

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?

Broskyjames:
It took a awhile, but it seems Speedaf has sank to the level of NIPOST 😩😩. Just go through thier socials, it is littered with complaints, probably the TEMU coming into the game, has overwhelmed them because i don't just understand....circa 2021 downwards, their services was so top notch, so i am here left wondering what happened...i thought them Chinese was thier management team?

They started so well in 2020 but it's all trash and nonsense delivery company now worst than or same level with nipost.
It's really sad to see speedaf go down the drains.
It used to be my favourite since 2020.

Lifeisgoody:
Any DSTV channels showing?

I am talking about FULL DSTV STREAM app from DStv directly.

morikee:
Yeah since Friday

Did you notice any difference in speed or still the same ?

georgee:
This is a mistake or a system glitch. I have been credited thrice (monthly sub) and nothing of such ever happened to me. Last one being December 2025

And during this time your card wasn't billed?

Maybe it's a glitch or i didn't pay attention, well i removed my card this time to be sure i used the free credit,i will add it back later.

morikee:
Finally shipped from Austin USA

Have you received it boss?

Let me tell you guys something,if you are given a free credit, remove your billing card immediately and finish the credit first, last year i was billed on my card and credit was taken too at the same time. Just an observation.

Starlink is so so good,i have never in my life in Nigeria seen a service provider that cares so much about their customers, i will use Starlink till old age ooo.
Can the so called MTN fibre x or other service providers in Nigeria replace your network equipment free of charge with extra free month if damaged. Even if fibre network reach my side now it will be very hard for me to leave Starlink at this point cos i have fallen deeply in love with Starlink 😂.

morikee:
This DHL is freaking fast Package already reach Lagos Customs Clearance in Progress

Omo these guys are serious with business aswear and starlink always use DHL express.
I didn't get free credit Shaa, i don't know why and i had active subscription before equipment damaged.


Did you do anything separately to get the free credit?

morikee:
Maybe today or tomorrow

Shipped.

morikee:
Finally shipped from Austin USA

Congratulations,i hope they ship out mine as soon as possible.

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

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

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

Men country hard i can't cough out 500+k right now just to buy another Starlink equipment,there are other priorities that will demand that money,i wish I had available leftover cash.

morikee:
Yes they shift again

Nawaa oo is like they don't have stock,I think i will buy another router, I will look for someone i can use their router to check if only the router was damaged before buying.

Abeg i need a working gen 2 router ,those that have gen 2 router that is not being in used please let me know.

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

Did they shift your estimated date again?
Post the current one let me see. They did it on their own?

ask4bk:
Woooow! That's a loophole you just revealed. Both the old and the replacement will still work with one single account payment 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

morikee:
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

For some time months or years ?

aieromon:
Are you a shareholder? Do you know the racket that will arise from this loophole?

On this same thread, someone was asking for a format to request for a replacement knowing fully well that there was nothing wrong with his unit.

My question is valid and genuine, I don't support those that lie that their equipment is bad to receive new equipment. Starlink should scrutinize every request for replacement to detect those that are criminally minded.

georgee:
Starlink forbids one to give it out. It's there in there terms and conditions. If starlink gives you a new Kit, your account is still on the old Kit. Infact, both can work side by side. I tried it
.
But it pains me that i am unable to sell my old Gen2 Kit to a willing buyer. I have full Gen2 Kit and ethernet adapter sef, all just lying fallow. That's over 500K worth of cash lying idle

Maybe @dustmalik can shed more light

Is this policy not to their own loss and disadvantage in a way,because if we give it out to people who can't afford to buy equipment but can afford the monthly sub,is it not to their own advantage and more profits for space x company.
I don't understand the reason behind this at all.

morikee:
Just like your own

Alright lets see how it goes ,thanks for your responses🤝.

morikee:
No it's showing pending before it was cancelled it stuck on preparing for shipment

What is it showing now currently?

morikee:
I mean they canceled the first order by Grok and and reorder a new one

Okay.
Is your own showing not yet shipped?

Please let me know immediately yours get shipped so i can message customer support.

morikee:
They canceled and reorder again now it had estimated shipping between 28 December to 4th January snd they also apply 1 month credit for me

I don't understand,what do you mean they cancelled and reorder.
How ?

You mean estimated shipping date or estimated delivery date?


Did you contact them before it was cancelled and re-ordered ?

morikee:
Omo mine still not ship since 2nd December

Aaah nawaa o did you message starlink support about the delay?

georgee:
I used my old Gen2 router as a mesh for few days. It worked well

I disconnect it cos of power consumption. Gen2 and 3 router for band A

I am talking about the FULL OLD KITS not just the router

otis54:
The order was placed November 22nd and got delivered November 26th

Wow that's the fastest delivery i have ever seen in my entire life, did you ever contact Starlink support before the order was shipped?
Mine is still showing Not shipped yet.

otis54:
My Starlink gen 2 went offline just this evening and has been throwing the error message STARLINK UNPLUGGED OR REBOOTING. Decided to send a message to support and Grok ai decided on its own to send me a new gen 3 kit for free after it tried to communicate with my Starlink gen 2 unit and it couldn’t all in less than a few minutes of chatting with it (Grok ai). Elon musk you do well ooo.

My problem now is how to mount it once the gen 3 unit arrives.

Hello hope you are having a good day , did you later receive this order ,how long did It take the order to arrive after grok ai making order for you?

georgee:
They specifically told me not to return, not to give it away nor sell it

So we should destroy it naa 😂 ,i don't understand the logic behind that. But for educational purposes,will the old kits work if like say na only router spoil and you bought the replacement from local store and fix it ?.

Tholley:
Wasn't offered coupon and didn't visit any bank.
Applied for the refund and it was completed the same day. Got it in my account in 5 days.

Naira card or dollar card ?

Tholley:
UBA bank account card

Is the refund from AliExpress?

Did you reject the coupon code refund option they gave?

Did you go to the bank to fill some kind of refund/reversal form ?

UPDATE WITH MY ALIEXPRESS COUPON REFUND WAHALA

It's like they want me to increase my total order so that the coupon will apply itself.
Then i added more things to my cart making it total 60$, the coupon didn't apply, then i increased it to $140 and the coupon applied and now i will still have to pay 140-58.68= $81.32 from my card or elsewhere before i would be able to use the coupon.


I have figured it out guys, ended up paying extra 0.98 USD before I can use the coupon.
