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.

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.

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.

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.

[@peterwest9447]

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.

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.

[@iambenmitchell]

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

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.

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.

And officially the gen 2 is the GOAT. That motor maintaining the best alignment with the satellite is the single greatest feature👌🏾😎

[@TheZeeray]

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

[@crosses101]

@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.

[@TheZeeray]

@@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.

[@natebaird]

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.

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.

[@iamwisdomsky]

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.

[@rujeepn]

So about the watts used. Does the Gen 3 have the snow melt feature & did you turn it off before testing the wattage?

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.

[@mikeborkhuis7278]

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.

[@thoos192]

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.

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.

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

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.

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 !!

Looking into this for our rv,we will be stationary. My questions are,if i have a playstation 5 console online player and want to stream Netflix and other apps on my smart tv's via wifi from starlink is this gonna work for us? Also on the gen 3 will it have the capability to aline ( move to line up) on it's own if it needed too? Or if being stationary it doesn't need to aline? Are you able to set a password so other people around you can't use your wifi? Still new to alot of this,at our home we have fiber,so this is all new.

I'm using long range 5G Wifi with Bell in Canada. The antenna is on a 45 foot tower and it can use up to 100 watts so I don't really think the power is to big a problem with the gen3 dish

Your add at the start was very effective.

A really professional and informative video! Love it and learned a lot from it!

Can you use the Gen 3 router with a Gen 2 dish. Also can you use the same cable from dish to router

great info thank you

I'm still running Gen 1 Equipment from September 2021. I'm curious if it's worth an upgrade or not. I have read articles of people saying they are seeing improved Speeds and slightly lower Latency.

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

[@travisj8091]

So the dish should be facing north west? Just got mine today n havnt been able to set it up yet. But we do have 1 tree that is north eastish pretty big but nit alot of foliage its a pine tree.

[@Markgcr]

I see the instruction drawing shows the dish pointing North. My Gen 2 Starlink is pointing East now. I was originally North but has slowly moved in an Easterly direction.

Can you recommend hardware or setup to extend Starlink Wi-Fi outside the home say 100 yards for a rural property?

[@stumblinguponbliss]

Thanks! On my Gen 2, I can no longer connect it to my dream machine pro, noatter how many times I reset starlink. Super odd.. and yet I know starlink works, as after a reset, the starlink wifi works. Can I upgrade just the router on my Gen 2 with a gen 3 router? I could not see that option on the order Page. Thanks!

[@WillPatagonia]

do you know if the pause option is available on all the countries? im from argentina. The service just arrived over here.

[@travisj8091]

I just ordered this got gen 3 waiting for it to come. So does this Dish not move around how the other ones do? I just find qhete it wants n blam leave it?

[@marlonbriones9716]

Can we used Starlink to connect several offices passing vlans or as a LAN Extended network? or Is it only for internet service and will have to use the bypass mode to setup a L3 tunnel directly through my routers or firewalls via Ip Public?

15:16 The RD2-D2 stand for UDR is soo cool!!!

[@dark7042]

i have the gen 2 but im thinking of upgrading, i can buy it from best buy but not from starlink itself, can i still upgrade to the gen 3 with the hardware from best buy? and do i just plug and play? or do i need to reset it up because we already have a plan that we pay for monthly
