Friday.
I used a PC, no VPN.
It worked first time I tried. I had 320 on the card. It was a virtual Kuda card.

Please how can I mount this starlink. I stay in a rented apartment and I don't know who to call to help mount it. I contacted a guy from Nairaland and he said 60k for installation.
Any help will be much appreciated

Anybody have a starlink connector wire they're not using?

Please my LG smart TV is only seeing the 2.4ghz network and this causes buffering while streaming. My Ipad is the only device that sees the 5ghz . What can I do to be able to connect the tv to 5ghz network?

The challenge lies with the Starlink router. It has to do with the channels it transmits its 5Ghz frequency, which we are unable to change.

The one solution that works, is to get the Starlink adapter, then connect a third party router via lan. The 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz would most likely be available via the third party router. Personally, I use MTN Hynetflex and MTN 5G routers. Though, pure routers like Linksys, TP-link, Netgear work better.

I have mtn hynetflex and the 5g router also.
What do you suggest bro?

Since you have these routers, order for the Starlink adapter. It will set you back by 44k, though.

Okay bro.
Thank you so much.
So the starlink adapter and the mtn routers will do the magic, right?

Split your Channel on the Starlink app first, so you have 2.4 and 5GHz seperately. then your TV can see both if supported.

Re: The Starlink Thread by lexyman(m): 1:17pm On Jan 23
what is the price of star link in Nigeria market
now ?
Re: The Starlink Thread by Mrcalxy(m): 11:29pm On Jan 25
Order placed: Jan 9
Order received: Jan 24

Apparently seems the payment made doesn’t cover for the first 1 month because upon activating the router, new bill popped up.
Is this the same case with old users or it’s a new development?

Thanks

This is kind of service level you dont get from Naija ISPs...
this is the international standards we are missing in this country.
Re: The Starlink Thread by denip: 2:43pm On Feb 02
I am thinking of getting a starlink at my place of work which is 50km from my house due to the remoteness of my location. When i change location back to my house in three months time, will the starlink still work at the new location or i will have to inform customer care? Please help

Re: The Starlink Thread by Ayomipoe(m): 3:35pm On Feb 02
I think you should take it to the new location and attempt to use it.
