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.

Stanley08:


That's a router. No? 1 router. Anyways maybe good enough if you need coverage on only one floor.

Yeah just one floor. Used to have dead spots in the bathroom inside the master bedroom. The Echo dot there disconnects a lot. Now there is wifi everywhere and all the smart devices are connected

Stanley08:


I love my Deco mesh system so much. I am so glad I invested in them

Finally settled for Linksys MR9600

ibawon:
What type of Playing is this 😜

Na so the first month dey. By month 3 you go don calm down

ibawon:

I actually intend on paying for 4 months if they can take it straight, but this is kinda crazy

You can’t pay without an invoice. I don’t know that they have any offers on the service outside the monthly charge. Makes sense because they can increase the price anytime

ibawon:

I was never given. Opened a ticket awaiting their response

Following this gist. Because I suspect dem go soon send me email

oluwapoju:


With the help of google map, you can get the PLUSCODE address of your exact location. Copy and paste this in the location.
this will work

Already sorted. I used my coordinates.

ibawon:

🤣 Na roofing nail and one type of glue for roofing I use. The dish is hooked into the roof gutter also

Omo, na cement I use for my own. I cannot explain anything

toluxa1:


Did you pay to enable portability? I'm suspecting I might have the same location issue because I had to chose a random area in CBD, Abuja before I was allowed to make full payment. I know there is service where I'll be installing it in life camp but then, I don't know if they instantly allow one to change the service location.

I enabled it for less than 24 hours. I changed my service address in the early hours of this morning and it worked. Turned off portability immediately and sent a message to support that everything was working then closed the ticket. It’s been working fine all day.

toluxa1:


Thanks so much for your responses. One more pls.
Is there a very good alternative to the Deco X55 (AX3000) that's not as expensive as it is? For example, can this one still serve well?

Let me help you because I am nice. You don't need any fancy mesh system. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092VXR7B5/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A9OG4LL1QK8P1&psc=1 this will work too.

Starlink is giving up to 250Mbps. You don't need gigabit speeds on your mesh.

ibawon:

They should forget that he no dey work noise, people that need this are buying it well.

Omo the van that delivered mine had about 20 inside. He said he had already delivered like 15. Make the thing no even too full for my area come be concern. The price increases the more people in an area

dustmalik:

I can't understand why Starlink keeps shipping used dishes to us. It was the same experience I had with my first order. It looked used and very dusty. And because of the abysmal performance, I believed it was defective, and that was why I had to return it and got refunded.

I had hoped that my new order would come with a brand new dish, but given that they are still shipping used dishes to us, I doubt my new order will come with a brand new dish.

I intend to go get it from their office tomorrow morning, and if I am not satisfied with the looks and performance, I will return it and won't be getting another again.

I really don't mind the look as long as the functionality isn't affected. Its gonna be on the roof so I really couldn't be bothered.

ibawon:

They also know about this too and theres a thread on their website addressing this too. However, mine smelled very brand new though.
Speed seff don increase oo

E dey increase here too. I have hit 90Mbps in my last test. I will test tomorrow.

Ok. This shit is fast. My wife just play come say make I download last of us for her. 5GB in about 10 mins. For me, great buy. 5GB here wasn't even faster than 150mbps so this is even faster. The promise that it would improve in a few hours is even more impressive. No regrets so far. Hoping support fixes my residential location issue fast.

dustmalik:

Could you clarify the emboldened? Do you mean it's been used elsewhere in Kuje before, as in it's a used or refurbished dish?

For the portability, did you have to pay for it?

It did look used. Not brand new. It works though. I’m not sure if someone has used it but the location it marked was almost 60km from where I am.

I didn’t pay for portability. In the support ticket I did say I have turned it on pending when the fix the issue

ibawon:

Abi ooo. Na. Mainly to dey use for house to dey stream and download.

My own is giving location error. On the billing address, my address is correct. On service address it just shows federal capital territory abuja.

I tried to change it and kept getting we are at capacity right now. Try again later


EDIT

I have opened support ticket because it seems this dishy has been setup somewhere in Kuje before because that seems to be where it expects itself to be. I have also enabled portability for now (So that allows me browse for now, until they resolve the matter). My first speed test gave me 31Mbps UP and 6Mbps Down.

Expecting it to improve with time. Now I need to figure out how to pass this cable into the house.

toluxa1:


Hey, sup brother, how u dey.
So a few questions, I'm also in a 3 floor terrace..
1. Did you test the range/signal strength before you got the Deco or you just got them from the start? If you tested, what was it like on all 3 floors without the Deco?

2. I assume your dishy is on your (flat) roof? How did you install it pls? I have been brain storming on the perfect way to have it on the roof when it arrives.

3. Doesn't using the Decos mean you're not using the Starlink router at all? Seems oke has to bypass the Starlink router all together, no? A brief on the set up would be nice.

4. Lastly, is this the exact Ethernet adapter you got? (attached)

By the way, my most recent order was on the 20th of March and it's shipped on the 24th, to arrive tomorrow 27th. 1 week from order to delivery. It appears they have restocked the Lagos inventory and things should be faster at least for now. I had one order in Feb that didn't ship for nearly 3 weeks, had to cancel it.

No be me you ask but I go answer anyway.

1. The starlink mesh doesn’t do well vertically. Don’t stress yourself.

2. This one…I will know the answer later today when I install mine. I also have a flat roof. Scared of heights but for starlink…I will brave the trail!!!

3. Yeah, you’ll have to go into the router and click the bypass toggle. You should be aware of the downsides of using a mesh system though. Google will help you with that. But the deco is fairly easy to setup. I’ll try to get you a link.

EDIT!! Here you go: CLICK HERE[url]

4. Yes, that’s the correct adapter

Uniqueheart:



Mine also showed shipped on 24th, tracking doesn’t give an estimated delivery date, no address. The 150ft cable I ordered same day got shipped earlier shows its arrival date to be 30th. Also is your tracking number same as your order number?

No it’s not the same. It’s a tracking number, different from bala…never mind.

Click on the tracking number link in your starlink profile and then it’ll take you to the DHL tracking page. There you willl see the correct tracking number.

ibawon:

That rain en make God help us calm am. Expecting mine on Monday. Did you get your number on the shipping address with DHL, didn't get mine

How do you check that?

toluxa1:


I placed an order on Monday, March 20. It shipped yesterday March 24 and will arrive Abuja on Monday March 27. I think they have restocked their Lagos inventory.

So they clearly wait until they have a particular number of orders before they ship to Nigeria. We all, who have ordered in the last 5 weeks, got our shipped notification last week. As a business it makes sense to operate that way. Keeps the shipping costs down. As a customer that has to wait for up to 5 weeks to get thier item…that can’t be cool at all.

Let’s see sha, plenty people should be giving reviews this week as they get their units.

It would be helpful if people who have already set theirs up help us with mounting tips and tricks. Na that one be my new headache. I heard someone used the DSTV mount to do his. I keep imagining one wicked rain will just blow $600 from 2 floors up crashing to the ground thereby creating a gobe, one cannot afford

Omo!!! E be like say make I scatter office!

I don get the alert o. Make I go harrass DHL now. Be like say I go disturb them for customer care sef. Make pesin get 1 month free ontop

Stanley08:
VERY IMPORTANT!

When you get your Starlink tracking number, call DHL on this number 0803 907 7000 and make sure you update the details on the shipment. You can also do it on the DHL Express app.

This is very important. I know 3 people that had 1 week extra delay because of wrong address / no phone number on the package.

The problem also is that Starlink USA ships it to Starlink Nigeria and uses your name as Care/Of C/O. So please make sure you contact DHL and update your information with them IMMEDIATELY you get your tracking number.

I was driving when I got my tracking number, I parked and called DHL Lmao. Me I no like story at all! And I got my item very quickly, the DHL guy even told me it's good I called because they wrote rubbish on they package.

You can even tell them to just hold it at a DHL office especially the one at the airport so you can go and pick it up yourself. But note that because it was shipped to Starlink Nigeria and your name used as C/O, ONLY YOU can pick it up personally. Nobody else but ONLY YOU in person with your ID of course. Sometimes this is simpler than allowing them to try to deliver and making mistake up and down. Lol my guys went through this but then they never did the information update that I talked about earlier. 1 week after e reach Lagos them never see Starlink and they are all in Lagos. Meanwhile I got mine same day lol.

Cc: ibawon, seunpayne, dustmalik, emmyvet, EPOMA, georgee

Noted with thanks. The thing just dey scratch me for brain. I find myself holding back on doing certain things on the internet (movies and games too) because I’m waiting for Starlink.

ibawon:

Yeah, I can but DHL guys said they did not add my number to the order, so I'm wondering how they'll contact me once they ship.

Starlink don dey behave like Nigerian company o. Which kind behavior be that one again?

ibawon:
Well they just shipped and send this mail some minutes ago. I open ticket to abuse them

See me and who dey wait together. I never get my own alert…why is this happening to me?

toluxa1:
