dishy.starlink.com has been deprecated for the app. webapp.starlink.com is the only one left for people that have byed the router / don't have access to the app

ibietela2:

Which link is that

QuoteJust1nce:

Using SSIDs as an option; you can create one and assigned number of connected s and speed, e.g.
10 s/ 10Mbps. Whether the neighbor decides to share the with 10 people or use it alone, the speed will never exceed 10Mbps.
And the more people the neighbor shares the with, the more his (the neighbor's) speed reduces.
Owner's speed remains untouched.

This is possible with TP Link?

You can put the SIM inside a smartphone and turn on the hotspot if the router does not improve. Works better that way sometimes.

Their dumb agent told me the SIM only works inside the MI-FI device

The frequency of my Starlink Router does not cover my area and I want to extend the wireless to at least 100meters. Please do anyone know any device I can buy to extend my network.

No, it works with other devices. Not working often has something to do with their network.

Good news is that West Africa is now being officially introduced to starlink v3 and mini devices with residential and residential lite services.
This has been officially opened for Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Bad news is that Nigeria and Benin Republic are still not considered yet. Both countries are still blocked from new subscribers awaiting for v3 to be officially introduced for them. Only then will the new monthly price of 75k take effect. Hopefully it'll happen this month.

Shalom.

It’s just a mini version of the Starlink v3 dish and too big to even fit one’s pocket . It still has to be outside facing the sky like the normal sized dish and still needs an external power source to work because there is no internal battery. Although the good thing with it is the router is also inbuilt into the mini dish, so it makes it quite easy to carry along to different locations or install in a car like I’ve seen in lots of YouTube videos.

Policy issue

Can't be certain coz it's no more the entire west Africa that is blocked. They've opened some countries. Could be policy issue, could also be desire to get enough v3 devices into countries before opening it up again for sales.

If they want to send starlink out of business, they should make their service to be gigabit and lesser price than Elon Musk.

Be careful what you pray for. Your prayer only means closure of starlink in Nigeria. That's the only route it'll take if V3 and sub increase don't work.
You people are in town, so if starlink leaves you have alternatives.
We who live in the rural bush with no mtn, glo or airtel and only survive with starlink, we will pay even 150k per month if it comes to it.

Bring on the v3 and 75k. I pray it comes this month.
