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

ibawon:
Got charged today for renewal, seems they wait for at least 2-3 days before billing your account.

The money dey my account but dem never carry am. I tried triggering the payment manually but it kept saying failed. Access bank, be wise o

maniebankz:
Always Available.

How much is access to the second option? Do you charge per game on the account or a subscription to the games or a bulk one time fee?

dustmalik:
I just noticed that my Starlink $42.16 credit that was given to me due to the negative experience i had with my first order has been taken, and used to offset my due for this month. Unlike those who actually have to pay from their card, i never received a week's notification for my due.

@seunpayne, Can you also confirm that this is your experience?

Well I never reached out to support concerning my shipping delay so I didn’t get the free month. I have received the invoice to be billed from next week. Which is fine as my experience (even when it rained) has been largely positive.

ask4bk:


Chineke!
Must have finished now.

Omo, I need a solution to extend starlink all the house. It's a very big house horizontally speaking. Like 90-100 meters. Plus plenty rooms and walls. Chai.

If you know wifi well do you know any wireless solution (I don't want to wire house) I can use to get it work all that huge space with walls.
If possible extend further to another building 20m from it too.

Or if you know am expert too u can link to me

I think they may still have two or three left. I will find out.

So I have been building WLAN installations for the last 7 years and I think, if performance is important, a wireless uplink solution is a huge disadvantage.

By uplink I mean, imagine your internet connection comes from starlink, that’s your WAN (wide area network). Distributed inside your house is your LAN (Local area network). Now you can handle distribution wirelessly by deploying a WLAN network (wireless LAN).

I’m gonna be a bit technical so please bear with me.

Your starlink and any dualband router made in the last three years would most likely come with gigabit ports which support network speeds of up to 1000Gbps. So within that network you can do a lot of things apart from using the internet without affecting your internet speed. A typical example is when you do a speed test on starlink, one test measures the speed between the router and the internet . The other measures the speed between your device and the router. Finally you can also test between your device and the internet. Theoretically you would find that your results for the third test is most likely to be affected by the result of the second. The reason is because you can’t access the internet faster than your device’s connection to your uplink (router). And that’s why you want a very good uplink device.

Now what about distributing to the rest of the house? Well, if your run a cable from your uplink to another access point/router then you take advantage of the gigabit speeds. So if you test your speed from that device you will get the best speeds because your local connection is way faster than your internet speed.

Consider however, if you were using a 300mbs router for example, and your speed is throttling down to that speed despite the fact that your uplink is 1000gbps.

A better wifi 6 router/access point connected via cable could give you up to 6gbps wirelessly which is why everyone is asking you to get something better.

One last scenario, if your connection to your uplink is wireless however, (wireless extender or wireless mesh) your speeds drop really fast because wifi isn’t as fast a physical connection. In which case, unless you are using really top access points or mesh setups, you’ll basically be experiencing crappy bandwidth on your local network.

My fingers hurt. Shey you sha get the jist?

georgee:


Tx a lot.. It's just the the ground floor (Living room I want to av quality network). This is what I am currently pulling downstairs in the living room with the Starlink Router placed upstairs in my bedroom

Do you think I really need this other router/Starlink Ethernet Adapter or I should just continue enjoying my Starlink as it is

Upstairs in the bedroom... Speed is up to 200Mbps

Downstairs in the living room... 30/40Mbps

So a great wifi connection is important for more than just internet speed. Your wifi is responsible for a lot more than that. I have smart lights, smart speakers, Network assisted storage for streaming movies and document storage and sharing all hooked up at home. That 300mbps bandwidth will disappear very quickly once you’re streaming a 1080p movie wirelessly from your computer to your TV for example.

So I think it is a very decent investment. Do you need it NOW? Maybe not. Will you need it in the future? Most likely.

georgee:

If i get a good dual band router, will I be fine?

I don't understand how mesh works.. How can it serve me in this case?

Can u recommend a good dual band router?

Cos i cancelled my order for Starlink Ethernet Adapter first time. Now I av re-ordered same and I don't want to cancel again

Don’t want to get into an argument with anybody. If it’s just ground floor you want to cover while having the Starlink upstairs, get a dual band router. Mesh solutions apart from being more expensive are not one-size-fits-all. Tp-link has dual band wifi 6 routers for less than 100k and you can get them in naija easily.

Tp-link AX1500 is a good example

ask4bk:


Where did you buy it?

A store in Abuja was doing clearance sales. 80k. Bought 4 immediately. The other 3 were for the office though.

georgee:

I don't want to bypass the Starlink completely.

I want to have network up in my room where the Starlink Router and ethernet adapter will be sitting, then network cable is already run from my room downstairs to my sitting room where I want to place the TP-Link router and hope to get a more decent speed too

My TP-Link model is TL-WR841N
300Mbps Wireless N Router

So it’s not dual band but it’ll still work

georgee:
I want to ask, if I use starlink ethernet adapter and do bypass connecting to another router for other devices, will starlink Router be serving its function as a router or completely off while transferring its router function to the third party router

I already asked Stanley08 this question, but he yabbed me

My starlink Router is currently placed in my room upstairs with fantastic speed while we spend most of the time in the living room downstairs watching other Internet devices too..Speed is not as fantastic as it should be

I intend to use tp Link router downstairs when my starlink ethernet adapter is shipped

Will the Starlink adapter in the room still serve its purpose of providing wifi service on the room or will it transfer all it's wifi service to this 3rd party router

Well if you plug the adapter and run an Ethernet cable to your tp link, you will have two wifi signals.

Fun fact: you can name the second wifi signal the same name as the starlink wifi signal and you will have a rudimentary form of a mesh network. (You’ll have to tinker to get the security parameters and channels right for this to work).

If you want to bypass the starlink completely, there is a toggle in settings (click advanced settings) and you’ll be able to turn off the starlink router and all it’ll be is a power source for the dishy. All routing functions would be passed on to your router (tp link)

EDIT: If the model of your tplink is those n300 routers, be aware that you’ll not have access to the 5ghz band and it’s speeds. So if that’s important, make sure you’re using a dual band router with MU-MIMO functionality.

georgee:

What did u buy to achieve all these

I’m not really sure what “all these” entails sha. It’s a two bedroom flat 2500sqf approx. I’ve got smart speakers littered all over (Amazon echo dots), smart lights and some nest sensors. I needed something that could broadcast across the entire space without the need for a mesh or extender. This Linksys did just that. I love the performance. I can stream games from my PS5 in the living room to my pc in my room lag free. The performance is dope. Oh yeah, I also got the Ethernet adapter. All this won’t happen without it.
