I have the Gen 3 and use it while overlanding in the desert and back woods. It's been a game changer I can now make calls from anywhere. I only have it on when in camp for a hr or two at a time. So the power draw isn't a problem. I came across a couple in a broken down side by side in the middle of nowhere in the desert they couldn't get a phone service I popped out my starlink and in around 10 mins was able to get them help. Another thing I really like is I only pay for months that I use it. I can go out for a couple month trip then shut it off till the next time I go out. Not having to pay for when it's not in use.
How much is the monthly subscription in Asia
@@user-ds8eh2pn1dfirst you should check the starling availability in your country.
Is it protated for when you use it for a few days versus a full month/billing cycle?
Should have just left them there, side by sides are an obnoxious nuisance
@@williamlee7782 listen again to end of the Ytube - he says u pay whole month
I rely on Starlink in Antarctica, revolutionizing communication with its advanced technology and surpassing the limitations of traditional systems.
Fishing? Science? Cool job either way being down there

Since when is starlink offering coverage at that latitude? Are you sure it's not a different service?
CIAO !! AVANTI SAVOIA! @@ingens

I love how much you cover in this video, My family has a house on a peninsula and this is the only way we can get internet. We are ordering it soon and can not wait.
Thank you. Best video I’ve viewed getting a handle on starlink being a newbie
i was just looking at getting a starlink and then you drop this. ledgend. cant wait to see it tested with other hardware. its looking better than anything NBN can offer, especially when i move out of town next month.
Always enjoy your videos, Chris! Nice job with this one.
Chris, a fantastic overview and demo. Your videos get better and better each time. As someone dependent on Starlink, I thank you for taking the time to review Starlink and give your view of upgrades. I’m on v2 and overall very happy with the service, but I still hope to have a direct fiber connection some day and to use Starlink as a secondary source. I still don’t know if upgrading to gen3 is worth it.
If you're happy with Gen2, then you won't really see any benefit by upgrading.

BEST instructional setup video I’ve seen in a while.
I am using my Gen 2 in Southern Brazil. Speeds vary but today I am getting 150 mbps down and 17 mpbs up. More than good enough for me. I could get local internet at a much higher speed and at a significant cost reduction due to my work I am staying with the starlink for now. I too had to wait for the dongle to hook up my external routers and hubs. But it came pretty quick after ordering it even here in Brazil.
Worthy of note. For a "backup" during a wide-spread internet outage, Starlink is a godsend. It is becoming increasingly more common for an entire city's internet, telephone, cellphone, and 4/5G data networks to go offline for 2 to 5 days, when some construction workers accidentally slice a fiber connection. When this happens, all services and modes of communication disappear, unless you know someone who has Starlink.
One example
Please
@@matthewbass8152 One example of what? You've never been to a city before?
I guess you are talking about poor "developing" (or regressing) countries like South Africa?
Even in s.a you dont loose internet for 5 days.

That's a step in a right direction for RV's and camping. I like that it's thinner and the kickstand should be enough for temporary mounting. It would be awesome if we could power the router/dish directly with 12V.
You could with the older ones, but it required some surgery as it had an internal AC power supply. However, this new one seems to use a DC barrel jack and an external supply. Should be super easy to find a 12v DC to whatever this needs DC adapter without needing to crack open the starling and solder your own connections to it now
@@iambenmitchell Then it should be simple if the router has proper circuit protection and only pull what it needs. It would just be a simple barrel plug to battery connection.
no it isnt. dicking around with pointing sucks. I just throw my Gen2 on a pole and it points itself. none of this manual stuff thats annoying when you're trying to get setup, especially if its balls cold/hot/raining.
I would still use a DC-DC supply designed for battery use, if it were my own multi hundred dollar equipment. @@PatientXero607
@@LowPriceEdition Yeah but also you still have to point it in a general direction and it's taking up to a day for it to point itself afterwards properly. It's fine if you stay somewhere for a week or two but sucks when you move daily. IMO when it comes to camping space and weight savings are worth more than automatic orienting.
Running the Gen3 with the router in bypass mode - UDM-SE as the router. The results have been mostly good. Time of day / day of the week will see dramatic variations in the performance in our area. You may wish to try Speedtests at different times - Sunday evening, for example.
I am being forced off of ATT as they are discontinuing the service we are on and I am going to Starlink. I already have Unify AC-Pro APs and I am considering getting the UDM-SE. Would you go this route again? Trying to decide what Ubiquiti router to go with as I will be using the Starlink router in bypass mode.
@@MyTechWebTV For me, the UDM-SE strikes a good balance between nerdy network control and ease of use. I also appreciate the unified environment for WAN and LAN activities, including my Unify APs. It isn't the cheapest solution but I like it very much.
There is no special integration with the Starlink router - the Starlink router becomes a dumb interface, like a cable modem. The UDM-SE does give me a secondary, basic "health monitor" of the WAN connection.
I also enjoy having a remote console at via Unify that allows me to see all of the router's activities.
It's not cheap but it was the best choice for my situation.
@@daveball3081 Thank you for the reply. I purchased the UDM-SE today since my Starlink is shipping and with my Cloud Key server down I need to get things ready for install. I also appreciate the nerdy network control aspect. You stated that perfectly. Cost wasn’t my primary concern. I want stability and control. I hope the implementation goes well next week.
No 1 TB limit for my area. Speeds have been fast and consistent. Snow melt setting will also affect power draw.
only on some area its limited, but the internet is endless?
can i use or are there any packages available? For endless consumption
Some of my friends recently moved from Chesterfield, VA to Powhatan, VA. To help them get good Internet service, I installed for them the latest model of the Starlink Standard kit (Gen-3).
I was pleased that it took only a week to arrive after it was ordered. This is my first time setting up the newest model for residential use, and I was happy with how easy it was to get up and running.
It's still getting settled, but the speed has been excellent so far. It has ranged between 119 Mbps to 350 Mbps download and stays about 30 Mbps upload.
After the snow melts, I'll mount it on an existing pole on their roof using a pole adapter they ordered from Starlink.
To provide them with good coverage throughout their home I set up an Amazon eero router mesh network that is directly connected to the Starlink router. This new router from Starlink has two network ports built in, so it was easy to connect and works perfectly. It made it easy to provide Wifi for two TiVo televisions. They have never used TiVo before either.
All in all, I'm very happy with this setup, and so are they.
My brother and sister were living in powhatan and starlink worked amazing for them to
How did you put a UA-cam verification tag when you have no subscribers?😂😂😂
Thank you! I’m moving in the relatively general vicinity! Exciting to hear the speed range. All info you provided was helpful and reassuring. Single, retirement age, and getting a house in the mountains and countryside, very rural. Work from my computer. Thank you!
Here in Australia, our Internet is total garbage, so Starlink is a winner.!!! I’m getting around the 200 meg download !!
Latency
v3 looks great thank you for the excellent content.
Nice in depth review. Keep posting
I have owned my gen2 for years and have had no issues
I got the Starlink Gen 3 dish in December. I've had the gen 1 dish for a couple of years. They gave me 2 months of free service for upgrading. Plus, they gave me the 150-foot internet cable for free. The new dish so far has given me faster speeds.
How did you upgrade?
Meanwhile att treats customers like garbage who have been with them for over 20 years. We’re canceling ATT phone/internet after decades FINALLY after the actual physical line is broken somewhere between the neighborhood and box, but att says it’s fine. Lmao. We’re over it!!!!
such an in depth-review, thanks!
After the power CO-OP got grants to pull fiber down my road and a competing company also put fiber down the road, I canceled my Starlink. I still have the beta Gen1 dish hanging off my house. I would like to see a comparison of speeds to see if the old dish gets the same service because it was a better design but more expensive to make. Also, the T-Mobile service is $50 with 100GB of normal speeds per month + taxes; if it were $30, I would be OK with having it as a backup as we work from home and homeschool.
How much was a gen 1?
if I close my eyes I hear Tucker Carlson giving a starlink review.
😂 really tho
😂😂😂 OMG the accuracy!!
💯
😂😂😂😂
that is soooooo funny 🤣🤣🤣 you’re not wrong at all hahaha
You had me @ 308mb/s. I'm sold.
Thank you from Australia mate ^_^
Interesting topic thank you everyone for sharing
Do you have to use the app to manage it? Can you access the controls via a browser and it's local IP?
Having to be local with an app over wifi must suck for remote administration stuff.
I'm in that portion of the subscribers. Starlink or other Sat providers is really only option for Internet. I can get a cell signal that sits around -102 db or less, which translate to less than 1Mb and under. I just talked to someone wandering on my road and they said they were working for someone that was doing consulting with another company that got a grant to bring in Fiber to rural locations. Unfortunately in don't recall the ISP though. I'm not holding my breath though, if the unlikely event happens, probably wont be for aother 3 years. I"m currently using my Gen 1 dish plugged into a Fortinet Fortigate with Unifi stuff inside.
A very informative video. I have a super fast service (almost 1G) here at home but am looking at Starlink Gen3 for camping.
Actually, The Gen 3 might be better for DC power situations being that you can give the router DC @ whatever voltage it needs with no modifications needed to the router or dish itself.
So about the watts used. Does the Gen 3 have the snow melt feature & did you turn it off before testing the wattage?
Super helpful review!
Definitely but look around for all types of Wi-Fi broadband beforehand ok TRUST ME do
My home service is going on 2 1/2 years and I am very happy with the service. I have yet to lose service and average now 120 down. This beats all of the wind stream no service weekly problems. I work fro home. In the rv it's been a game changer !!!!
What about monthly cost?
I got an ad for Starlink in the mail and saw it as a sign to finally look into it as i had been considering using it as my primary home internet service, especially if i could get similar or better speeds for less than the $90ish a month i spend for 300mbps Spectrum cable service, which is the only terrestrial internet service available in my area, as ATT finally discontinued new DSL lines and my area hasnt gotten any fiber yet, and all of the 5G home internet isnt that great at my house because i dont get great cell reception here even though im in the middle of town basically. However, the upfront cost is what really put me off. $600 for the satellite and router is just nuts to me. If i went camping more often i would definitely invest in it for RV use. It is such a cool and interesting piece of tech, but the cost to benefit ratio just isnt there for me yet. Great video, hope to see more Starlink content when you set it up in your RV.
And officially the gen 2 is the GOAT. That motor maintaining the best alignment with the satellite is the single greatest feature👌🏾😎
this is false- all starlink dishes regardless of their generation don't use a motor to align themselves with a satellite. they use phased array beam steering with their radios/antennae to maintain beam forming and alignment. the motor is only used once when the dish is powered on. not sure whats backing up your claim of gen 2 being the goat
@TheZeeray That's bullshit. The the dish moves. It moves the most at first power up yes, and you'll notice for the next 72hrs it continues to move until it finds its optimal position. But after 2yrs of owning it, mine has moved several times.
@@crosses101 the only reason it would move is due to the orbits of the constellation and it will scan for an optimal position... but this is an old requirement from a time when the starlink constellation was still quite small and the orbital planes were few and far between globally. but again to address your claim of "maintaining best alignment with the satellite" this is not true, its a phased array beam that continuously points at a given satellite.
Thats really cool alignment tech!
Love my Starlink ! I don't like the $150/month price, but it works awesome ! Since I put my dish on top of my RV, I will stay with my Gen2, as I don't want to keep climbing up the ladder to adjust, which sounds like you have to do with the Gen3
Yep cancelled cuz price , I’d be happy with 500gb for 50 month
I love how Tesla actually listens to its customers concerns, and actually works on fixing these concerns and issues in later generations of hardware, and with haste on software! Thanks for this awesome review of the Gen3! :)
If only they could fix the speeds as well. My friend tried starlink and could barely browse the web
@@thoos192 That's dependent on who the fiber contractor was for the base satellites. If the fiber provider has poor contention ratios, the service will be useless.
There is nothing new in the later generations - they are actually dumbed down versions. The ONLY change is removing features to lower the manufacturing cost, not the retail price to consumers. So many fanboys here.
It's not Tesla you muskrat.
Great review, we are dependent on Starlink in a rural setting, our only other options are traditional satellite providers and they suck. If we lived in town we would definitely not mess with it and go with cable/broadband.
I have Starlink Gen1 here in a small farm that I have in Brazil, where there is no other decent option for internet connection. I am very happy with it, having speeds around 200Mbps. Crazy how expensive it is in USA. Here I pay around USD 50/month, taxes included (USD 36 without taxes).
Same in Romania for 50 euro,however i pay for 1 gig internet only 5 euros/month so no starlink for me anytime soon lol,starlink it's also very expensive lol
@@heroinne4229 , if you have another option, you are lucky! Where I am located, that is the only option available.
Muito barato sua internet. É fibra óptica?
@@mariadasgracasmorais9951 if it was for me the answer ,yes Its fiber optics.
@@mariadasgracasmorais9951 não, esse é o preço da mensalidade da Starlink no Brasil, por volta de 235,00 REAIS, ou algo em torno de 50 DOLARES.
I've modified my Gen 2 system to bypass the router so I can directly connect to my own. I also modified my system to run on a custom 12vDC to 48vDC POE (using Dishy Dually solution). I will also be modifying my terminal so that it can lay flat. No configuration is needed-- it just works. I think the next generation isn't as good because it requires being oriented and used more power. I'll be keeping my gen 2 unit.
So you covered a lot of ground and the single most important factor for me is how many outages does your new dish get compared to a gen 1 or gen2 dishy? I mean it’s the outages more than the speed that make life difficult on Starlink particularly 2 second or more outages during video calls
Nice review. Well done.
Oh man.. Starlink is a game changer in my area. I had expensive and unreliable zippley. I live in Washington State, we've had heavy rain and heavy snow and haven't had any issues. It does slow a bit at the high usage times.
Router drwing 10Watts of power was the first thing to change during power consumption optimization of my home. Got it down to ~50W daily average with fridge and network and computer things all going
How/? Any tips, topics or channels for how to achieve lowest power draw?
@@TraciDoering-hw8hu Measure. Use smart sockets reprogrammed for 0.1W resolution at low power (15sec measuring time). Connect pulses from utility meter to counter to confirm the total, store and check stored data. I use homeassistant with esphome running on orange pi 3 lts. Every old switch, old accesspoint, provider router can eat as much as 10W. Replacing for example the switch reduced power draw to 0.7..1.3W dependeing on ports. Hungriest IT thing I had was PC with monitor, running for most of a day. 30W@idle + 20W screen. Replaced with used i5-7300 laptop which draws ~4W idling, ~8W playing video. It already paid for itself by lower electricity bill. You will find many things eating power doing nothing for you but only for energy seller's benefit.
Thanks for this very clear video.
8:02 Have you an exemple of theese unify or tplink mod style networks better than mesh-wifi models?
thanks Chris for this incredible video!
- do you know if the DC current is at 48 V?
- also, am I able to trade-in my unopened 2nd gen?
A thought on Starlink as a backup ISP vs a cell based backup. One of the things that came out of areas with hurricanes is that large catastrophic storms like that will take down, or severely limit, the local cell connectivity. With Starlink as long as you have power via a generator, inverter or power station you will have an internet connection that is not dependent on local resources. Especially since the satellites with the 'space lasers' can link across to other parts of Starlink's network that are still operational.
But the connection can barely handle normal traffic, let alone any disaster if many people use it at once. My friends connection was so bad he could barely browse the web.
@@thoos192 I was talking about an individual using Starlink as a backup. As for Starlink service, if your friends connection was that bad there's an issue and they should contact support.
Where I live starlink is the best option. No land lines run here, between service areas for cell towers so steady 0 bars on that front. Hughesnet (another sat service) was slow as can be since the dish had to be aimed at some tall ever greens along the edge of my property (60+ ft tall ones up a hill.). So that left me with starlink. Been pretty good with no real issues, even at night I can stream movies no problem.
A really professional and informative video! Love it and learned a lot from it!
Just a note on Roam plan, in Canada if we un pause half way through the month we only pay for the remaining days in the billing period...
To be clear, were those speeds you tested based on the Roaming plan? Thanks for a great video!
Awesome video! I do have two questions. Can I disconnect the cables from my dish or router for storage in my rv and also does my router need to be close to my devices? Thanks
Getting rid of tracking complexity has to be a big win for Starlink. That had to be a weak point in the earlier designs.
But now you have to manually change it? Don't you have to change it multiple times based on satellite location?
Yes but a phased array is where the extra power needs cone from
@@TRAVISGOLDIEaren’t all three gens phased arrays?
@@ijwilson yes, a phased array uses more power than a highly directional antenna
Gen two were a smaller phased array, the direction motors made that able to self point ina nominal direction. But if you cut them down they did function without moving
QUESTION: What is it called when you want to use one of the mesh routers to create a wired connection to another network segment.
ie.
Incoming Internet
-> wired to Mesh Router
:
wireless WiFi from Mesh
:
-> 2nd Mesh Router
-> wired to Switch
switch distributes
by wire to
multiple equipment
I would call it Wireless Backhaul
but not sure if this is the correct
terminology.
I need to find out
which Mesh units
offer the highest
bandwidth
over Wireless Backhaul
and expected speeds
Thx
Your add at the start was very effective.
Chris - another great video! Would love to hear your opinion when you have a chance to test the difference between this version and one of the prior versions of the dish with the built-in positioning motors. I use my dish in a very windy environment and feel the Gen3's position would move around too much and would need to be manually adjusted often. Can you also comment on the Gen3's mounting options and if there are any improvements or shortcomings?
According to the video, you can use the Gen 3 with the older pole-mounting adapters. Just use the rooftop mount for your type of house, and worry no more that the wind will overpower those tiny motors.
Great review....does the app work if the is no LTE signal?
If not how do you set up Starlink 3?
Nice review bang
Upgraded to the gen 3 from the 2nd gen. At the same time we switched from the RV mobile plan to a fixed location. Dish to satellite speed is about the same as before. The difference is I'm getting priority where the mobile wasn't. What I don't like is the mounting options, mine is mast mounted and the optional mount does not fit securely on the mast. I expect the wind will eventually take the dish off the mast.
I got this a couple days ago and should arrive this coming week! I’m excited! Anything else I could use to boost my experience would you say?
@crosstalksolutions Do you need at least an active LTE connection to be able to setup starlink for the first time? Or can you set it up completely off grid?
Watching on Starlink Gen 2 :) I do like the fact the SL app is now also cloud based. I have stowed my SL whilst using 5G
Thanks for the overview. I have a gen 2 and was getting ready to flat mount it on my van. I think I'll let SpaceX buy it back from me and upgrade to the gen 3. Seems way easier to adapt to a flat mount, urban situation while still maintaining the ability to have a better connection by popping it out when I'm outside the big cities.
Is that an option? The buy back?
@@_intrepid Yeah, they've offered me like 200 -300 bucks
@@natebaird Any idea why they want the gen2 units back?
great info thank you
Starlink seems to be the right choice for me out here in the sticks. Currently I'm on super slow Hughes satellite, and recently fiber was ran out this way, BUT, it's pole mounted along with power and phone. It is a heavily wooded area and anytime we get a strong storm it invariably takes out utilities. I have a generator so in a power outage I can still run internet and lights. Landline phone may be out but cell over WiFi works as there is no cell service here due to mountains in the way.
This is really good speeds for satellite communcication
Hello Chris, Thank you for your review. Did you know if I can use a wi-fi bridge point to point to link my barn 600 ft away from my house?
Thank you.
hi, and thanks for such great info in this vide !! Question, Starling says I would need a clear view of the northern sky. It looks like you are in a residential area and your dish was placed between the house and garage ? so even pointed north, I would think there would be some limited view. Do you think there is enough satellite connection even if the northern view is only a slice or not full ? I am wanting to order but there are some trees toward the north so the dish would not be able to have a view closer to the horizon, but it would be north but more upward. would this be enough for good wifi ? thanks !!
Do you know if you can use the Starlink router as just an AP? I have an OPNsense box that I'm using for dual WAN of Starlink and T-Mobile, but I'd like to use the new Gen3 router for just it's WiFi capabilities.
I'm pretty impressed going to starlink I'm a new user coming from tmobile at home internet. 1. I have good signal for my 5g tmobile.
I see little higher speeds down with tmobile but I see faster upload with starlink and also lower latency. Also I'm in middle of no where and sometimes the towers breakdown so I believe I will see better uptime from starlink.
On the starlink mesh can you run an ethernet between the two for better connection? I have tempted that before it didn't seem to work. I even tried using a point to point ubiquity between the units for better connection, but they still continue to drop. The range is very limited. This was an outdoor campground with a house and two guest quarters.
I am now a subscriber. One thing I liked about your video is that except for the sped-up parts, you did not play any music while you were talking, More and more YT hosts seem to think that 'background' music is a good thing when they are speaking. Um, no it is not a good thing. It makes it very difficult to pay attention to what the host is saying and the c/c are not always accurate (writing 'four' instead of 'fore' as an example I encountered watching an aviation host tell me stuff).
So, as I bought a house a few months ago that only has starlink gen 2 as the internet option, what is your opinion as to whether or not it would be worth it for me to upgrade to gen 3 come the springtime? I am planning to buy the ethernet adapter for the router so I can have wired connections in my house. Thanks.
Great video, thank you for the information! We're looking at adding Starlink gen 3 into our existing mobile internet - curious on how it'd work if we utilized our existing solution (Tmobile/Verizon 5G data cards) in our Peplink MAX Transit Duo Pro Mobile Router. Would we still need to use the Starlink router, or is there a way to bypass the Starlink router and power the Dish another way? Ultimately, we'd like to plug in the standard ethernet cord into our Peplink router when we need to use it, but not sure if that is a valid solution or not...
I install Starlink for some of my customers along with other networking alternatives such as using Ubiquiti point-to-point antennas. My question is can I use the Starlink app for setup and then the customer put it on their phone to take over the system after I set it up?
Where are you located and what speed did you get with the Gen1 dish? I live in northern Wisconsin, have a Gen1 dish, and am currently getting 60-80Mbps. That's up from the 35-ish I had been down to. Seemed like every time there was a launch for most of the last year, my speed would go down. I've never seen over 90.
17:12 Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are camping in an area with no internet connectivity, then you won't be able to "unpause" your Starlink service. I'm assuming that you "unpause" by using the app on your phone/device, and that your phone would need to connect to Starlink's servers in order to process the request. However, since you're in area without internet connectivity (and your Starlink subscription is already "paused"), then you have no way to connect with the Starlink servers. Am I misunderstanding?
You can also use your own router as AP by connecting to it's LAN port, and setting its IP to the same subnet as starlink router. I would also suggest to disable old routers DHCP in this case.
Can I just connect the dish rj45 cable to my own router ?
Or just connect to my pc or server ?
Of course I'll use the POE connector to supply power to the dish instead of StrarLink router.
Can you use the existing line that I've already run through the house for my Gen 2 for this new Gen 3 dish? Or do you have to upgrade to a new cable? Thx
Hi Chris. Australian Starlink deals are Gen2 router only. They state Gen3 is currently invitation only in the USA?
Can you use a standard Ethernet cable between the dish and the router? I believe it is just an RJ45 cable. Albeit with some waterproofing.
Thoughts on stability for remote live-streaming? Upload speed is key. Does gen 3 make starlink an option?
Starlink came to win recently - our ISP disconnected our fibre while doing another install and I was able to throw up our camping gen2 Starlink in a few minutes so I could continue working from home. When I unpaused the dish we were only charged to our next billing cycle which was only a couple of days out from when I unpaused, so Starlink prorates. Those three days of Starlink ended up costing me $20. Worth every penny to keep us going.
What IP address does the Starlink router give your equipment when you are in ByPass Mode? Is it still the private Class C address or does it give the Starlink Public IP?
11:33 video really start. 😂 Thanks dude!
I go camping alot at race tracks for race weekends. Most of the tracks i go to are in the middle of nowhere. Cell service is usually okay earlier in the weekend, but once more people show up, my cell service slows down almost to a halt. Would something like travlfi be a good option? Or is starlink my only option?
Thankyou for the non bullshit information that I have been trying for months to find for our off grid set up.
That 75 watts is a killer and is twice what our fridge uses so it is a lot of power and would take a 300 amp hour battery to run around the clock.
I do hope that they could implement (through updates) something like a low power mode (just like in mobile phones) that reduces the power usage by reducing some aspects in the starlink like wifi output power, and reduced internet speed specially if we aren't really needing the full bandiwidth.
cant u simply unplug it ?
I am curious about the power draw when in Bypass mode so it is not hosting WiFi...
You also say that you plan to unpause when you are in an area with no LTE. Is it possible to go somewhere with no internet connectivity, set up Starlink, and unpause BEFORE you have an internet connection to log into the Starlink website ?
Starlink has on my shopping list for some time (more as a novelty at first) but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Now that I am going to be long haul trucking and probably going to be in places with no service, it’s really looking like I’ll be getting one. Not sure what hardware to choose though
Will this GEN three still function if it’s not pointed in an optimized direction or does it completely fail to turn on? It would be kind of nice to mount this to the back of my car hitch mounted cargo box, but a bit fiddly if I have to change a complete direction every time
Hi, I have watched other videos where they cut a gen 2 dish open and mount it on an rv. With this gen 3, can it be mounted flat on an rv and still work ok? Thanks
did you ever do a wired speed teste since you testing the wifi speed which might be significantly different wired
I live in the country in the middle of nowhere, the only internet in my area has speeds up to 3mbps so I think it’s worth a try for me
i like the gen 2 dish that aligns itself .
starlink is the greatest product ever it gives independency in one of the most important factors in the world which is the internet
Good Review. Lacking in Proper Roof Mounting.
How long for a full install? Installing the wire through the roof?
Is there a 12v power supply option for the Gen3
Can you recommend hardware or setup to extend Starlink Wi-Fi outside the home say 100 yards for a rural property?
I got the gen 3 but I can't find any accessory's for it do you have a link I can go onto to perches some of the items?
Do i need to log in first in app or much better to click the set up first?
Can you setup Starlink without your cellphone aka a cell phone signal? In other words if you are in an area with no cell coverage can you set up Starlink or do you need a cell signal to capture the correct signal location?
