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?

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

You are part of the problem. The reason why people that need it can't see it to buy.

Anybody that buys from a 3rd party, if you run into any problems you go regret your decision. Even for those that bought from Starlink direct, is a problem. It's now you that went to buy bend down select Starlink. Okay sha.

Yeah, it be like that. Mine sef is like that. They are charging me on 11th. I have to to unlock my card sef so they can charge it. I no dey leave dollar card open abeg.

Anyways, Starlink service starts counting from the day you place the order. So the first month subscription is part of the purchase money or let's say it's free. But it starts counting from the day you order I believe so if it takes one month to reach you. Pele akanbi.

The card on my friend's Starlink got missing so he blocked it and got a new card from his bank. Till now he has been unable to update the card on his and he has tried many cards. The problem is from Adyen, Starlink's payment processor. He has tried Grey, Payday, Gotok, Standard Chartered, GTB, my credit card didn't work, even the card currently on my Starlink didn't work. It's been 2 months now, he is owing Starlink 2 months payment but the thing is still working. However the bill is piling up, I'm sure it will stop at some point and never work again till the balance is settled.

don't get too excited though. The speed is around 40mbps when you connect to the 2.4ghz frequency and most devices don't detect the 5ghz frequency. My laptop is the only device I have that detected the 5ghz frequency and the speed I get while connected to 5ghz is an average of 140mbps. That's only when the starlink makes sense. 40mbps is enough for most internet related stuff but I wish my phone can detect the 5ghz frequency. 40mbps (5MB/s speed) speed feels like I am still using MTN 4g

Well, all my devices at home (My 2 smart TVs, my android TV box, my Samsung phone and even my Son's laptop) all detected both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz

See my own laptop and android box screenshot

I am getting below speed cos na on top my car outside e still dey oooo... I dey wait my engineer nke we carry am go roof top today

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

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

dustmalik:

Yes. But they must choose your service address at the point of payment.

Thank you. I got it today. I will install it next week.

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?

Did you untick 'Split 2.4/5GHz Networks' in settings? If you did, that's why. If you didn't then do. The phone will latch on to the 5GHz frequency when you are close to the router. And you can confirm under 'Network' in the Starlink app. Cheers.

4pm asking about lack of Availability.
5pm already bought Starlink.

At least that's what it seems like, anyways if you bought from Naija seller. Go and hold their sokoto oh! Lol

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 5Ghz. It's a misery to me. I'm thinking of factoring resetting the starlink.

My advice is that you should just leave it alone, I'm guessing you are using iPhone and MacBook? As it happened to me, my MacBook Pro M1 Max & iPhone 14 Pro Max stopped seeing the 5GHz frequency. While my Pixel 6 & 7 with my old iPhone X had no problem latching on.

If you must do something, I advice that you reboot both the Starlink and the Router, that's all. Don't factory reset anything. Or maybe split it and unsplit it a couple of times. However I don't think all these are necessary.

I also found out that on iPhones it can take up to 30s to find 5GHz wifi networks so also maybe try staying on that wifi scanning screen a while. Also make sure your phone and computer are updated to their latest firmware versions.

I don't have to worry about all these anymore as my Deco X55 Network handles all of this now. I can force any ed device to latch on to the 5GHz network (see photo below). Even though it's not even necessary as there's a deco node in every room where these devices spend most of their time lol.

And i have zero complaints are the photos below show.

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

For laptop disabling and renabling ur wifi in control works but if u leave it for a while it will later start seeing it on its own

How are u guys seeing this 200mbps? I'm averaging 100mbps and the most I've see it 140mbps at night

It happens, I'm not sure why. My guess is router firmware updates maybe. Also, stop calling router, Inverter

Check Starlink app. Settings > Advanced. How long has your router been on for? Was that the last time you restarted it? I'm talking about "Uptime".

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

Finally settled for Linksys MR9600

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

I want to ask, if I use starlink ethernet adapter and do by 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

Lol no lie for my head, I no yab anybody. Both devices will share wifi. 2 access points with different wifi ranges. I would imagine. For best speeds, you need to be closer to the access point especially if it's range isn't great. So basically. Running a long cable downstairs and then connecting the second router downstairs.

I'll always advice that you setup your Starlink router where you spend the most time or at least in a central location, but yh I also understand that this isn't always possible.
