Starlink - Gen 3 High Performance Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Router

Are the power specs listed since it seems like this can’t power the dish itself  Unless it can since the Gen 3 router I have has coil whine so not sure if this one can be used instead or if it’s strictly for mesh only 

Thanks so to use it as a router you would need a gen 3 router or newer to power the dish alone

I’ve found the gen3 router to be poor for WiFi, but then again - first time I’ve had the router in the loft/attic. I wired into my study and my son’s bedroom. He plays online games (call of duty etc) - loves it. No complaints.

This. Its what I did. The Gen3 is on the west side of the house with better coverage and then I have a TP Link AXE 5400 hardwired to the router (which is in bypass mode) and the other two Deco's covering the rest of the house.

I wonder how this compares to the gen 3 router. I have the gen 2 connected to dishy and use a gen 3 mesh router, but this seems like a cheap option to add a few more mesh nodes

I wouldn’t get it to replace anything, just to add some extra coverage. Currently the gen 2 is connected to the dish and I’m using the gen 3 as a wireless mesh. I figured if I added 1 or 2 of these I’d have perfect coverage everywhere. My issue now is sometimes I get a weak signal between the gen 2 upstairs and the gen 3 downstairs.

I currently have a gen 2 dish and use a gen 3 as a mesh node. Would you recommend getting one more gen 3 for mesh or adding 2 minis?

The Gen 3 router is also PoE just like the OG one was and runs at the same voltage - So you could use that. Or any other router will do just fine.

My research for a similar application led me to the FritzBox 6860 for 5G, but that only makes sense if 5G is available and you need a range extender/mesh. For 80m2 a hotspot is probably sufficient and you could get away with something like the FritzBox 6820 for around 150€. I ended up getting Starlink when they were offering the hardware for free. It’s a bit overkill, but it’s worth having if your place has frequent service interruptions.

While I’m a Starlink fan, their routers are not great. Get a good mesh setup and bypass the Starlink routers.

Honestly starlink is the best way currently. It’s at the forefront of Wi-Fi technological development and will only get better. It will be some time before any other company get remotely near the standard.
