Starlink - Starlink Gen 3 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?

No, the Starlink router is extremely basic. That said, just use a long enough password and you’re good, don’t be paranoid!

StarLink router is very limited. Most routers will give you the ability to isolate multiple networks and usually have better WiFi performance. Just the ability to isolate guests and your renter from your network makes it a good idea.

I don’t know where I got this recommendation from but I saved this router for later. So I wanted to ask if its a good choice for improving my wireless experience because I always played with my normal Starlink router - it is awesome but I guess it can be better.

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

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!
