Wifi Router (Gen 2)

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!

The mini router also works well as a mesh extender with the standard Starlink . I have two setup in my house to share WiFi throughout the two story house I live in.

Personally, I added a switch for more ports, ran it to a 802.3bt poe injector and out to some EAP773's - also the default router's wifi is really good, people just suck at placement. Honestly, just picking up some cheap RE550's and plugging them in around the house where the signal is bad will do wonders, and probably still max out your Starlink connection. I have one plugged in in a garage about 100m away and it still works, although doesn't give much more than 8-32 Mbps.

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
