Starlink Gen 2 Router

I have a gen 2 system and use the mini for mesh. I have it placed about half the distance from my poor signal bedroom and the router... works perfectly. Super easy install... the app just asks to connect... select yes, and you're done. The app determines which devices are better served by the mesh and connects them. For $40.00 it is a win!

I have a Gen3 and the standard router provides adequate wifi for both floors approximately 3600 sqft. I purchased a second Starlink router and installed it as a mesh node in my room above the garage. I selected the Starlink mesh router so I could use it as a replacement if/when my main Starlink router fails. I have 18 devices connected to my network.

Third party mesh works so much better thn the lower cost Starlink mesh. Most complaints here are with OEM mesh

If you aren't going with Starlink components I'd go with ubiquiti or "UniFi" as it kind of come to be known. I use to Starlink routers inside my house and I have one far away in the back yard for when we have guests for fire nights and lake watching just my $.02

if u have the budget for it, nothing really beats ubiquiti, but u will need to buy a cloud gateway (or not if u can just set a network application up on an old laptop) and a few aps, u can still use the starlink router as an ap (which is what Im doing temporarly as I am waiting for a gateway, im running the network application on my main laptop, slows it down a little bit, but as I am studying for my alevels now I dont need it to do anything other than run chrome so its fine). You can just get one u7 lite for around a 100 pounds, if u want a bit more u can buy an express 7 for around 200 and another ap and put the starlink into bridge mode

Starlink, a little expensive but worth it

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.
