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

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

Bossman:
Just do as already posted. Run LAN cable connected to the starlink adapter to your second router in living room. I'll suggest you give the WiFi a different name from the starlink WiFi. So that you know exactly which one you are connected to. In case you need to trouble shoot something.
That TP-Link router is not dual band (2.4/5 Ghz) though. So you'll only be getting connection on the 2.4 ghz band. I will suggest you invest in a dual band router so that you can get similar speeds as you are getting on the starlink router's 5GHz.

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

seunpayne:

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

seunpayne:


Finally settled for Linksys MR9600

toluxa1:

Yes o, I have decided to free the whole thing until my Deco also arrives in 2 weeks Max.

toluxa1:


Can you imagine, I just checked it now randomly and saw it pop up by itself after 3-4 days of disappearance. E be like say the tin go vacation!

toluxa1:
I didn't untick it o, my wife's phone is still connected to it but my phone and laptop just stopped seeing it even if I'm touching the inverter with the phone. It was the phone that first stopped seeing it yesterday. Today the laptop stopped too, both devices definitely support 5Ghz. It's a misery to me. I'm thinking of factoring resetting the starlink.

Jaytee123jay:
Hi guys, anyone using starlinks at Victoria Island here?
I checked the availability map and it's not available in almost all of Lagos island

Jaytee123jay:
After buying the starlink, how do I activate it?
It says device already assigned
Does that mean I don't need to subscribe for the month?

toluxa1:
My own phone (Samsung Note 10 Plus) has been seeing the 5Ghz since day 1 but suddenly stopped yesterday. Done everything, still can't see it. Not sure why or how to fix

dustmalik:

How did you buy your Starlink?

ibawon:
Starlink said they'll be charging me on the 12th of this month. Mind you I started using the service on the 27th since I got it that day. @stanley08 Baba shey na so them dey do?

Onepiece007:
Bosses I have starlink for 550k . Abeg make una patronize me .

georgee:

Means pple from ikorodu neva buy starlink well well oooo

What of the 5Km radius thing?. Cos i used a service address that is just 350m away from my address and I got debited for full amount

georgee:

Thanks bro... U ar a rare gem..
From my own little investigation on their availability map, some highbrow areas.. Ikeja, Surulere etc are put on waiting list while places and addresses from Ikorodu are on availability list.. Does it mean that starlink is currently concentrating on remote areas and holding up places in the cities. One can see that ikorodu from the colour is on service availability list, while a highbrow area 'Bode Thomas' in Surulere in on waiting list

dustmalik:

Logically, this makes sense, given that highbrow areas already have quite a number of options available, like Fiber-to-the-home, 5G etc.

ibawon:
Downloaded that in 4-5 hours. Na 4k be the only content oo. I told everyone at home pack bucket and download as much as you wan. 😄

easyyoke:
Mad o. 20 starlinks? I thought they said there is no money in Nigeria😂😂

Alienwarfare:
My phone and laptop can't see the 5ghz wifi but my ipad can even though all of them supports 5ghz

Chuckdee:

Its crazy how nigerians always want to twist and turn things around just to make money not minding the consequences. I have been seeing so many sellers advertising and I wondered how they even got about ordering multiple units with their email address or maybe they used multiple accounts as well. SMH

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:
@stanley08 @dustmalik he don land oo.
Na untop roof he dey no obstruction.
See speed but I'm still watching YouTube at 4k.

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.

mctfopt:


My friend has Starlink and we are brainstorming on how to extend it to another house on the same street 2km away. Got any suggestions? Thanks

Osasxander:
Chipper cash rate is now outrageous

drizzypat:

D card I used in buying didn't work for renewing

Current stuck ,it's still browsing I just don't want a situation it goes off wen needed

Chipper didn't work for me

Thanks

seunpayne:


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.
