    Hiya, have you got an update on this? Are you still using the same one three years on? I'm very interested to hear your experiences with it - with my home broadband wanting to increase prices by a silly amount, and me wanting to travel more I am considering ditching the fixed home broadband in favour of a mobile router I can just take with me in the van! Also did you ever do a follow up to see how one works with an external antenna? Asking as it's not in the playlist and I'm really interested in your experiences with using it. 😃

    • @UrbanVanlife

    • @kevinu.k.7042
      @kevinu.k.7042 Рік тому +1

      Hi Joleeen
      These are small, portable (they are designed to be carried around in an exec's briefcase) and have a battery so that they can be used in airports, cafe's etc. That makes them very expensive. For a home, and a van too, consider a 4G domestic router. They are a third of the price and a decent one will give you the same spec., or better. I would recommend getting one with external antenna sockets so that you can add an external antenna if your in house signal is poor. TP Link and Huawei make excellent quality units.
      I hope this is helpful.

We are about to do a video on a conversion of starlink to 12v . It only needs 48v to work the system but we are waiting for 1 more part to come . And you don’t need to do any thing to the dish or cables it’s all just plug in then goes in to your own router . I don’t know if the new ones any good we have not used it but I’d guess it would be as it’s new tech . I can say ours works perfect and never let us down . When we have signal

      Yes, if you use a Voip phone plugged into it. That will need a contract though. You might be better sticking to VOIP (Whatsap and others) on your mobile phone but link your phone to this router for a better signal. (Use the phones Wi-Fi settings).
