I've setup my Starlink router to a 10/100 mbps switch and forwarded connections to 10 units on different floors. However, the residents are receiving low speeds not exceeding 10 mbps upload. Most of them are using WiFi6 routers, converted to APs. Not sure if it is the switch that needs to be replaced with a Gigabit one.
Also, I've used Cat6 cables for all connections.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Hi. I got Starlink today, and I tried a couple of the torrent sites I normally use, and I got the "this site can not be reached" page. I know telstra here in Australia blocks those sites, but normally a government page comes up. and you have to change DNS, as I remember.
I'm planning on working from my RV this summer, which will be on a seasonal site at a trailer park/resort. They have told me that their AC power demand can exceed supply when everyone is using Air Conditioning in the summer. That leads me to think I should probably have a UPS/battery for our starlink mini so I can continue working.
Has anyone set something like this up? I see some dedicated batteries on Amazon that attach to the mini. I also see some info saying the Anker Solix c300 dc is a popular battery bank to use with the mini?
I'm just looking for recommendations from people who have actual experience using the starlink mini off a battery backup. I'd be using it probably about 10 hours per day (8 hour work day plus evening use) and it doesn't need to fully power the mini that entire time but if the power dips during the day it needs to keep me covered. Also bonus points if I can charge my laptop (via usb c) while also powering the mini.
Hello. I live out in the boonies of Missouri on a highway near large farms and have been running off of a cell tower for internet. It's pretty good for cell tower internet I think, average 120 mbps down (highest I've seen is about 250), 20 up (40 highest), but my latency is almost always 50+ ms. So I've been looking at Starlink alot here recently. Here's where my issue comes in. The address on my electric bill sends me to the start of the highway in the nearest town, 7 miles away. Google gives me 2 different addresses and Apple Maps gives me the same address as the one on the power bill.
The Starlink website says it services the area regardless, my concern is that there might be a hiccup getting serviced because my address is so obscure. Should I just call the city and see if there's a map or am I thinking to hard about this?
Hello we are looking into getting starlink roam question is should we get the standard that comes with a router or just the mini is fine.
Need it probably two months out of the year
Camping in the states
Going to countries like Bolivia and Guatamala for a few weeks out of the time or even Europe etc where our data plans on our phone would probably be used up.
Wish we had it in Guatamala while our current water front is amazing there’s no data here for cell service and the WiFi stopped working first day
This has been going on for the last 2 weeks. its been going between online and offline, worked again for 2 hours yesterday and back to the same thing. has anyone experienced this?
my dad block me in starlink app and i must use my phone wifi and it's very slow... i mean very very slow. i try changing MAC but it didint work. my Chipset is B550 - Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II
I'm using starlink as a failover WAN. I can get some statistics of starlink via the app (which I believe uses the starlink network to go back to the unit, without requiring a LAN->WAN connection) but the home assistant integration appears to require access from LAN to starlink 192.168.100.1.
u/diverdown976 had a nice write-up of the pfsense config for starlink in failover WAN config, but says you don't need to NAT to 192.168.100.1 since the web interface of starlink is off in bypass mode.
Does anyone have the home assistant integration working when starlink is in bypass and PFSense has it as a failover WAN?
