I just replaced the Starlink Router with Linksys WRT3200ACM Router using the Starlink Ethernet Adapter, and I can see immediate improvement. Speed went from the usual <20Mbps to ~160Mbps.
Next step is to delete the Starlink Router completely:

OK. I just ordered Asus RT-AX86U PRO Gaming Router with WiFi 6 and a 2500mb RJ45 cable. I think am good to go wink

Do you know if this https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-6-Router-Gigabit-Wireless/dp/B08H8ZLKKK/ will work?

Of course, the 5ghz is constant 24/7 365 days.
This is because the router uses a high channel that all devices can read, while starlink router uses a low channel that only few devices can see. Your starlink 5ghz is also always on but just that some of your devices can't read it. My Android box and Samsung tablet reads the starlink 5ghz always.

But with tp-link, in my case Archer C80, every device have access to 5ghz always

Will this work https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-6-Router-Gigabit-Wireless/dp/B08H8ZLKKK/?th=1

Update:
Something I forgot to add previously. Aside informing me that my Starlink dishy was experiencing high interference, they also informed me that checks show that there's something wrong with my router configuration (I don't know what this means), indicating that my router and ethernet adapter are needing replacement. So they sent a replacement router and ethernet adapter. However, according to Starlink , it would not resolve the interference I am experiencing.

Today, I took delivery of the replacement router and ethernet adapter.

Starlink's service delivery can't be compared with our service providers here in Nigeria. If there's an issue with your kit, they will be honest about it, and if need be, replacements would sent, for free.

If you are experiencing challenges and you have done all else to resolve it, feel free to ask them to carry out checks on your kits.

Na restart dem know for here

I know a guy paying 75k monthly in ibadan to resellers for monthly subscription. He doesn't know he's cheated. The resellers don't give you details. They say when you want to renew, pay to the 75k. And clients pay coz they enjoying smooth starlink service

That means it’s not tied to their address

Bought an Airtel router that randomly disconnected from network. Complained to their cc on twitter, after plenty back and forth games, i gave up.

How many times dem ask you to restart?

The Archer C80 I guess. It's Wifi 5 though.
If you can get one from Amazon US, you'll be sure you're getting the US version, not the EU.

Can’t see it on Amazon, MTN has been on colos since 8PM

Starlink speedtest on TP Link Archer AX73


I will get the 23, that’s what I can afford even with the pay small I got from Amazon
ibietela2(m): 10:49pm On Apr 30, 2024
PotatoSalad:

Thank you.
You noticed I didn't want to argue.
Spent time running tests on the 3 routers.
Starlink router alone was good, and I saw increased speeds and range when I connected the TP Link Archer AX23. But my jaw fell on the floor immediately I connected the Archer AX73. I was like wtf. I had to run speedtest over and over again and results didn't change. I swapped Starlink ethernet btw the AX73 and AX23 and there was always a difference in speed.
He then said it was my location lmao.
Never got above 200mbps in the afternoon until now. Hitting steady 300mbps. What's next reason? SpaceX launched more Starlink satellites?

Like I told that guy before, whatever starlink had, the third party router took full advantage of the capability (speed, range, whatever)


Was there a big difference between 23 and 73?

Are you in the US?
You could watch out for discounts. Bought my AX73 for $150 and just saw it's $146 now.

Forgot to add that the AX73, although a better router, has most of its features locked behind a paywall. A dick move. The AX23's own is free. Maybe because it's US vs EU versions.
Anybody else here that uses a US version TP Link router should confirm if it's same as theirs.

It's not a mobile router, rather a wireless router. No sim card slot.
