Most people see this and instantly think it is fungal or bacterial.

Does it itch when you’re hot or stressed?
Does it feel good when you rub or scratch it?
Does it feel like it’s sensitive to hot water more than the rest of the area?
Is it dry most of the time?

If all these questions are yes, you probably have Lichen Simplex Chronicus. Has no cure but can be managed. It isn’t transmissible by contact and I’m not sure what causes it.

If you confirm this is it, I’ll tell you the proper treatment. No need to add new things to try until you are sure.

I hope you see this sha

Hello fam am interested in Starlink but I want to ask first can I change my DHCP lease time to 5 minutes or lower? Because on mtn, glo, airtel the least they let people change it to is 24hrs so please let me know fam. Appreciate that

The Starlink router provides only basic routing services. Advanced IP configurations including DHCP mapping and NAT are not accessible. You’ll need to get a third party router to be able to handle those needs.

Starzo:
1m

Stop na. It’s a very fair price. The device itself, minus shipping and tax and duty na like 1.3M by the time you add all these things how much e go come sell am?

Quick question. The Kit in one of our factories in Nassarawa was activated with the business plan. Can I cancel that plan and subscribe to the residential plan? Because there is no option to change plan. Only cancel.

ibietela2:
I think plan may be by account not service area

I changed the service address today. It went through without incident. I guess I was worried about nothing!

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 😁😁.

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.

ask4bk:
I get you, but there's no room for comparison.
Unify enterprise level access points don't offer 4x4 mi-mimo on all frequencies. They do on 6ghz and 5ghz but hardly do on 2.4ghz which, truth be said, is what 90% of clients will use since only 2.4ghz travels far. Mine has 4x4 on all frequencies.

Also there enterprise level access point is boasting of just 140m square of coverage when my Grandstream offers 282,000m square. That's literally 2000 times better.

Unify, as a big name, are super costly when you can get Grandstream cheaper and does 2000 times better. Grandstream is an American company. Not Chinese incase you tempted to say Chinese make cheaper and less quality.

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.

While we argue about who cannot afford what the policy of the NCC is building in the current phase of the expansion plan that starlink is doing for DSTVs benefit, make una help me abeg.

I currently am one of the "priveledged elite" that can "afford" the 38k sub. Thing is, I would be moving to a new apartment this weekend (about 7km from my current place) and I wanted to know if I could change my service address and retain my current residential plan. That business plan is not for "elite" people like me abeg.

You’re not as good as you think. Go online and put your money where your mouth is. Division 10 all the way to division 1 and I’m sure you go find your LCM.

You’re probably avoiding playing online because the settings are competitive and legacy defending is disabled. We know the sort.

Go online…no come Nairaland dey strong prique

Una too dey rush person. What if that 1M na monthly salary? Maybe after that 1M another one go enter.

So I just dey reason with my wife this evening o. For those of us that paid in dollars back when the kit first became available. We paid $600 o. That was roughly 450k depending on how you got forex and at what exchange rate.

Today that is at least 780k if the price didn’t change. Add the 20% discount and that’s about 624k.

But because you are paying in Naira, Starlink can be gotten for 300k today.

So it’s basically 50% cheaper to buy in Nigeria.

No point to these musings…just my random thoughts. Starlink has been amazing by the way.

I don’t know that this girl is innocent or guilty.

I do know that JAMB as an institution has been dubious over this matter.

1. Did she mutilate a result from 2021 or from 2023?
2. Why has Jamb not come out to show the original result attached to the QR code she allegedly forgot to change?
3. Why has Jamb not shown us her original result as it is on their server?
4. How do you unilaterally withdraw her result and ban her from the exam for 3 years without actually proving she did anything wrong? A press release and a TV interview is not proof of wrongdoing.

I expect a public institution to conduct itself in a manner that speaks to equity and fairness. In this, Jamb has failed to act in that manner and it then calls to question the position they have taken on this matter

Apollo is by far the best I have seen so far. Been using them since 2018. My current sub, I paid for 2 Years at once.

I’ll sign up for a month to try it out.

toluxa1:
I think I prefer to stick with the dollar payment too. The problem is, in the absence of an option to choose between USD and Naira, if the payment is quoted in naira and you use a USD card, you'll probably be charged like $44.5 or so for that 32k payment

Added my zenith naira. It succeeded. We move

georgee:
Maybe we are talking about different IPTV service... Not sure it's same one I have been using we ar both referring to... It cant be

Remember u will need an android tv Box for u to enjoy this stuff. Having smart TV only is not enough

Same ni, after spending almost a million buying tv I go still need to buy android box again? When we say the user experience get as e be, this is what we mean. I go chill with dstv for now

Ournolly:
Just tried to add my Card from both Banks.
Both failed to validate.

I have been using my Access Dom card since day 1. They sent an email to revalidate the card now they are not accepting again. Me I no wan pay in naira. The dollar payments suit me just fine. Can anyone confirm that their dollar cards still work?

georgee:


And I dey enjoy am oo..70-80% of my channels are showing

Some don't stream at all like u said... But it's manageable

If you get better option, be kind to let us know

Better option is needed o. The user interface get as e be. It was supposed to replace DSTV in my house but even me I no dey enjoy am talk more of the rest of the people for house. I would pay more for reliability and an intuitive user experience.

I already expected this because making cheaper will be a slap on all those who bought early. Plus because the rate fluctuates they have to give space small. Me I go continue with my dollar card as I get better rates than this. I just hope they don’t force you to use naira

BadMaster:
If this is it, then all our hopes have been dashed away.

The ethernet adapter costs $57, but now shows as N44,000, which means Starlink is using blackmarket rate at N771 to $1.

If you recall correctly, this same Ethernet adapter was N26,000 on the site before today.

You couldn’t have expected them to use CBN rate na. The only advantage here is you can now use your naira cards. It’s not gonna get cheaper

georgee:
If starlink maintains this... It will be nice oo

The backlash will be mad!!! Because it’s gonna role up everyone who bought at black market rate. They can mitigate this by converting the difference to subscription for the early adopters but I doubt they will make it that cheap.

They would update the price to reflect the rate fintechs are using and then accept naira payments. I’m sure they would also keep the pay in dollar option too for people that readily have forex.

I think the best thing that can happen to payments in Nigeria is for PayPal to allow naira payments directly. Regardless of the rate. That will open our market big time and other services (google, meta, Amazon) will follow

Starlink has officially scrapped the 1TB thing from the residential plan which I believe is now called STANDARD.

It was never implemented to begin with. But I hope the service doesn’t face degradation sha

georgee:
Mine went off when the rain went 'Gaga' and immediately came back when the rain subsided

I think heavy will affect it while it will work during mild/medium rain

My observation

Yeah, It is not a deal breaker at all.

toluxa1:
Rain hasn't affected mine too yet. Maybe it's not heavy enough yet sha

Rain fall last night o. Starlink otilo!!! Had to switch to mobile data. It is understandable. We will react accordingly.

Stanley08:
When it rains, it pause.

Get it?

Omo all the rain wey don fall for my side no affect am o. I still dey wait.

georgee:
Thanks a lot Cavendish and Seunpayne.. Aim now achieved

CavendishPlex called on phone and we did it together... I owe that guy two bottles of Heineken and Nwkwobi anywhere I jam am


I have achieved exactly what I have been trying to since

Powerful speed down and upstairs.

Before this connection, I was getting 43/45Mbps downstairs, but now it has increased and network is strong as well

Amazing. So I’ve never been hung up on speed tests. Starlink is fast! The only thing available that is faster is my office wifi and MTN 5G. One is only for work and the other hardly ever works. Everything I’ve thrown at starlink, it has handled effortlessly. Still waiting for heavy rain to see what the experience is like but so far…great buy for me

georgee:
Thanks Cavendish

I go try again when I reach house tonight and provide feedback

You have to use the adapter. And like he said, plug in the blue port. It’s usually marked WAN.

georgee:
Thank u oo my brother.. Na so for go spoil my starlink/router

I don reset am back to normal and fear no even let me touch the ethernet adapter again

If u can teach like ABC step by step

This is wat i want to achieve

Starlink Router is in my bedroom upstairs... We don already run ethernet cable from bedroom down to sitting room

I want to be getting decent speed in the living room almost same as what I am getting in the bedroom

This is very simple.

Configure the starlink as you want and make sure it is working and then also reset the tplink and plug the Ethernet cable.

Here is a fun fact, most of these devices are designed to work out of the box. So find the wifi signal of the router and connect to it. The password is usually written under it.

Make sure both wifi networks are browsing (starlink and router). If they are then you are ready for some customization.

Now connect to the tplink router and then open your browser (use a computer preferably) and go to 192.168.1.1 then hit enter. Username and password is admin

Now you can go ahead and change the name of your wifi to match the name you gave the starlink upstairs and make sure the password is the same as well.

Now test it. Browse from downstairs and move upstairs. Your phone would roam seamlessly without breaking signal. We are not done

Now log into the starlink and separate the networks. Rename the 5Ghz band to something else. So now you have two networks. The 2.4ghz band is both upstairs and downstairs and then the 5ghz band is only upstairs.

Now do three speed tests:

1. Speed test connected to the 5ghz wifi signal

2. Speed test connected to the 2.4ghz signal while you are upstairs

3. Speed test connected to the 2.4ghz signal while you are downstairs.

Let’s see the results and we can advice further.


So someone may tell you to give upstairs network and downstairs network two different names because of trouble shooting. This isn’t necessarily true. If you have an issue it’s one of two places. Either the router downstairs is having issues, in which case you will know by simply connecting to the 5ghz signal, or starlink is having issues which you would know the same way as well. I am not sure if this router has bridge mode but this initial setup should get you up and running for now.

georgee:
Bro... I will need ur assistance

I commented my starlink adapter to my starlink Router and went to settings to choose 'Bypass Starlink wifi router'

Took my 3rd party router downstairs, connected the ethernet cable into and nothing happened.. Had to disconnect everything

But my starlink Router begin misbehave say 'my router dey bypass mode' I can't use it till I do manual factory reset.. I sweat oooo.. I be wan cry sef cos no be small wahala I do before I finally reset am

Can u teach me aw to set up this and also setting for my 3rs party router.. Maybe I no put the cable inside correct spot for my 3rd party router

Omo…you for ask fess o.

Reset the starlink by on and off about 6 times then set it up again as normal

Then connect it to your router and setup but don’t enable the bypass yet.

Until everything is working, don’t enable bypass. Tell me what router you are using if you need extra info on setting it up
