Not quite sure, I thik you pay per gb afterwards.

Why are you using Roaming though
Harold4lyf:
Okay so after the 40GB is done it still is unlimited right??
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 2:13pm On Aug 06, 2024
The status will change on the 8th of August and the package should get to you on 9th or 12th August. If it doesn, you will then ened to contct Starlink Support

Hi guys,

I ordered for a starlink kit since last week. I checked my order today and I saw that it hasn't been shipped yet when the due arrival date is between 8th-12th August.

What should I do?

Help guys.

Check the threads from page 60.

There is a fix for congested locations
Sommyroy10:
Good afternoon, bosses.
I would like to make an inquiry about purchasing my Starlink. I am looking to purchase Starlink. Is there a way I can pay 38k per month since my location (Ikorodu, Lagos) is filled? Also, in the event of my relocation, how do I go about it? Do I still need to start changing the location for my Starlink? Forgive my novice questions. If this has been addressed before, kindly point me in the right direction.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 11:04am On Aug 02, 2024
The 50k means priority data, after you cross 40gb, it will continue working as it is unlimited but the speed may drop to 65mbps to 100mps
brightk:
Make una help out na.. only business plan available in my location... 40gb 50k...

Bros, we are still paying subsidy, thats why NNPC is able to continue doing magic at its filling stations and at the price it sells to marketers.

In fact, recall that Ajaero, NLC Chairman reported that Tinubu threatened to increase the fuel pump price if he is to agree to 250k minimum wage cos it is within his powers to tell NNPC to sell at the landing cost and not at the subsidized cost
naijaboy756:
NNPC are magicians selling at a loss to Nigerians then

ARE WE STILL PAYING SUBSIDY?
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 1:54pm On Jul 24, 2024
Well, may be depends on location in Lagos then. I still get average of 30 to 50mbps during peak periods of the day excluding evenings though.

When I tried to preorder earlier, I was placed on 2025 waiting list. However, another attempt to order to my location now says service will be expanded in 2024.

Hopefully, they will add more satellites cos Nigeria's internet demands is not about meeting needs of users in rural areas, the urban population are tired of cleaning up after major network providers and looking for easy way out

What’s your average speed and where have you setup your dish?
tyhwo:
Hello guys, pls what are the advantages of using the tp link router, does it increase the speed from my starlink? cos i am currently getting not so great speed from starlink due to the roaming plan i am using.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 10:31pm On Jul 20, 2024
I set the channel width to Auto, do I have to choose one of these 3?
PotatoSalad:
Great. Try 161
Set channel width to 20/40/80MHz
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 10:27pm On Jul 20, 2024
I have channels 149 to 165 as extras
PotatoSalad:
Good. now that your 5ghz is split, you can change the channel too. 149 to 165. Use WifiAnalyzer too.
161 works on all my devices.
If you have only channels 36 to 48, then your router is EU version. There's nothing much you can do here.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 10:19pm On Jul 20, 2024
It appears my Router is US version then. I have 11 channels.

Wifi Analyser keeps saying best AP channel is 3, 5 or 7. I am testing each then to see which will work best
PotatoSalad:
After transmit power.
First of all disable smart connect.
"Settings, advanced, wireless settings."
Change width to 20Mhz or 20/40Mhz (i use 20mhz cos of my IOT devices)
and then change channel 1-11 (US version) or 1-13 (EU version)
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m):
WifiAnalyser says best Channel for me is 7 but I don't see where to change channels on the Router menu
PotatoSalad:
If you're in lagos, then maybe.
If you're not, you can try these settings.
1. 2.4ghz
2. 5ghz
Also use WifiAnalyzer to check the 2.4ghz and 5ghz channels in your location. Then you can change to ones that don't overlap.
For me, 11 and 161 were the sweet spot.
Update, disabled Smart Connect to see this menu

PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 9:43pm On Jul 20, 2024
Trying that right now

Check your idm download speed limit. Set it to infinite.

Nice speeds.

I don’t know whether it’s congestion, barely getting 150 to 200mbs recently
PotatoSalad:
AX73 speed test tonight.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 9:04pm On Jul 20, 2024
Is this Ethernet or Wi-Fi? My IDM won’t go past 3mb/s no matter the network speed
PotatoSalad:
It gets even better.
350Mbps+ in the afternoon.

I don’t have this issue with my Samsung phones though. It automatically selects 5G and I have a lot of iPhones connected to 5G band
ibietela2:
It automatically assigns 2.5 or 5Ghz that is best for the device... my lappy supports both but 5Ghz is what the router gives it
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 1:17pm On Jul 20, 2024
I haven’t experienced any drop.

Interesting enough the Router gives far greater speed than Starlink Router does
georgee:
I agree with you. The speed my LG smart TV is getting from my TP-Link router is nothing to write home about compared to the speed coming directly from starlink router in my bedroom undecided

Wait, is EasyMesh and how much did this cost
PotatoSalad:
I believe your router is EU model. The AX23 I use for Easymesh has free parental controls, while my main AX73 US parental controls is locked behind a paywall.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 11:02am On Jul 19, 2024
Oh, I havent checked the parental settings out but I dont think there is any paywall on the Router so far.

35 clients, are you in a market? And how do you bill users or you made it free? It's been hard for me to pin down subscribers cos I am in a residential area with poor power supply.

Hoping it gets better when I connect inverter (but sun is not good now)

2.73 or so.

Let me know how you setup the vpn when you do please
ibietela2:
What’s your firmware version? The 4.6 doesn’t have VPN.

I have already purchased the AX73

Here are screenshots. Just don’t know how to set it up yet

PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 7:44pm On Jul 18, 2024
You have to. I erroneously believed the vpn on my router is free too, till I discovered it’s my responsibility to add my I chose either free or pain. Tplink only provides the platform to do that without having to install con software
RoddyStan:
I don't understand yiu sir, if I buy the ax55, I don't need to subscribe for vpn again?
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 2:57pm On Jul 18, 2024
It does o, make the bros no go buy VPN of 200k o except TP Link is paying for the VPN
ibietela2:
Router should come with VPN CLIENT (this way you subscribe to your favourite VPN service like windscribe) which you will connect with the router... unfortunately the Archer 21 does not have VPN client at least the one with me which is the latest firmware version 4.6.

However the (Archer AX55) comes with VPN CLIENT+SERVER (I have placed order for it). You can check online for cheaper one.
Make sure it has VPN CLIENT, so you don't have to stress yourself.
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 2:55pm On Jul 18, 2024
I have not been near my laptop recently.

On your laptop, go to 192.168.0.100 (TP Link admin page), you will see a section for VPN Client under network

It is very funny that none of the legislators and comments here mentioned the illegality of the retrospective application of the amended law. In a democratic setting, the legislature cannot make laws to apply in retrospect, how can you make law in 2024 to benefit yourself from something that happened in 2023? You could even go back to 2020 if care is not taken as though you are making law for barbarians?


We will be here when the banks challenge and get this amendment nulled in Court.

AX21 has VPN client too

I will share the screenshot when I am logged in on laptop

You need the one that has VPN client and that AX55 has it and its kinda the next cheapest.

Please when returning starlink kit for replacement, should I return it to dhl office or will they come to my location to pick up the old starlink kit? Also when the new kit arrives, will my current residential plan and service location automatically transfer to the new kit?
PhonesRe: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 10:32am On Jul 15, 2024
Same applies to my situation but I have been using my modified inverter that way.

One thing that stood out was ensuring the plugs, sockets and changeover are 100% plugged in which eliminates the hum
fashrola:
Confirm if your Inverter is Modified or Pure Sine wave inverter............

Modified Sine wave does not generate clean energy to some sensitive appliances especially Starlink routers
