I ordered my Starlink device on May 31st, which included the full Starlink kit (Dishy and Router) along with the Ethernet Adapter. Today, I received a call from the delivery person while I was unavailable, so a family member received the package on my behalf. However, when I got home, I found only the Ethernet Adapter and no Starlink device.

I asked the person who received it if there was anything else, and they said no. They mentioned that it was a DHL dispatch rider in uniform who made the delivery. To clarify, I showed them an unboxing video of the Starlink packaging, but they insisted that something of that size wouldn't fit into the dispatcher's box. It made me wonder if the dispatcher only delivered the Adapter, possibly because the receiver couldn't identify the full device.

I’m reaching out to those who have ordered directly from Starlink and also included the Ethernet Adapter in their order. Were your packages delivered separately or together? This situation seems unusual, and I’d appreciate any insights.

Make e no be say them don chop my eye like how NLC don suspend strike.

Is the tracking number different or they are combined. You should reach out to DHL because most times they are delivered separately.

Yes, you are right. They're delivered separately. I just received a mail from them. Though I got only one tracking number from them.

The speed of the Roaming plan is not as good as the Residential, we use it at my office on a good day we get around 30-40mbps, it's usually around 10-20mbps, on their website the Roaming plan speed is caped at around 50mbps.

Aahhhhh! You don chop these guys oh.
By full replacement you mean, full starlink replacement or just the router replacement?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by ask4bk(m): 4:49pm On Jun 06
This is one mistake you should never do when installing your starlink.
Never put it at the tallest point of the roof. It'll just serve as magnet for thunder strike. Any thunder going to your house will hit the tallest part of the house.

It should be installed below top roof level.

Wetin you go come do with old starlink na? Will it be disconnected? Why did they choose the option of changing everything instead of just giving you new router

You will have to return it. Or you'll get charged for it. They already provide some shipping documents.
Print them, attach to previous one and drop at the nearest DHL facility for free.

Try the Archer Series, i use TP-Link AC1750 Archer 7 and it has 'been serving me. you can also try the TP-Link AC1900 (archer cool works well too.

if you prefer the wifi 6 routers, the the TP link AX series are your goto.

All available locally or on amazon

Has anyone experienced this before? The router suddenly reset the name and password and went back to "starlink" open.
