Yep. That is the newest router. The Gen 3 is o oh to upgrade Gen 1 customers.

So I have had two nodes running off my main router wirelessly for some time. I would like to convert the nodes to being wired to the main router (leveraging existing ethernet cables routed through my home). I don't see any specific instruction how to do this - is it as simple as just plugging one ethernet into an available plug on the gen 3 router and the other end into the gen 3 node? I've done this and it seems my nodes are running fast, but I don't see the connection of the node changing from 5 ghz to "wired".

What voltage does the new gen 3 unit use, is it still 48 volts or do they have provision for 12?

I finally managed to convince Starlink's website that my address is real. The only bummer is I could not order the new Gen 3 router. It has been restricted to a handful of US users by invitation only. 😞 I did include the ground mount, extra cable, and Ethernet adapter, so I should be set. Now it's time to hurry up and wait.

3rd Gen is only for 1st Gen customers to upgrade.

Thnaks for the heads up. I have gen 2 and it is working ok at this time. I have the dongle to setup a second router and on that second router if starlink connection is down during an electrical storm (only times I have lost starlink) it show a led on my third party router shows amber indication I have no internet connection. I will have to wait for when gen2 can get gen3 to findout if a new cable has to be run to the (rectangular) dish on the roof. A difficulty now that I am 81 and watch what I would have done 20 years earlier.

Perfect!!

Great video, I have gen two, but a big house, so hoping for the gen 3 then I’ll try to set up my mesh network.

Thanks for the info on the LED indicator. I set up my Gen3 yesterday with great results. But when I woke up this morning, there was no LED indicator, so I thought it died in the night. I did a speed test thru the app and saw it was still working. It's kind of confusing to turn the LED off, even though the router is on and working. IMO, they should leave the white LED on to indicate that it's still connected to the internet rather than making noobs like me think that it's powered off.

If you get an upgraded 3rd party router would you still need to upgrade the Starlink router for max speeds?

We live offgrid and in separate cabins that are next to each other. Like 24" apart but we have metal siding. We have Gen2 router in one cabin and StarLink mesh node in the other. Much slower off the mesh node due to being in different buildings. I have an outdoor TP Link outside and am wondering if i could just use one of the same TP Links into the second cabin with the wire running between the two? Seems like it would be faster speeds. Let me know your thoughts.

@ricepony33

You may have already done this but yes a wired connection would work well for this setup. The metal siding basically makes a faraday cage that will never allow Wi-Fi to work well.

Super info, thank you Joseph

JC. Thanks for all the useful info. I have a question. Can I use Linksys wifi routers as a mesh network with this new gen3 router?

thak you for your generous posts. so helpful. one comment regarding 'the hard cable is always better than wifi'. generally obviously that's true. but sometimes especially if people use docking stations for their computers, the docking station could have a speed limitation, which wifi does not. so i would say always test out the speeds in doubt....thanks again!!!

Hello, I have a question/comment. I looked at the information on the Gen3 router on the Starlink site under installation. It indicates that if you have a Gen2 setup you need to have the Ethernet adapter and use the Gen2 as the PoE injector for the dish and then set the Gen2 in bypass mode. There is no PoE injector for the Gen3 at this point in time. If you have a Gen1 setup you just swap the Gen1 out and the Gen3 in as there is a separate PoE injector with the Gen1 setup. My question is how long do you think it will take Starlink to have a PoE injector for the Gen3 standalone setup? Maybe the PoE for the Gen1 can be ordered separately. Not sure if it will deliver the required power to the Gen2 dish though.

I have a Gen 2 router....can I use the same wire from the dish to the new Gen 3 router or do i need to re run the wire to the dish?

What is the setup for a new Gen-3 router with an existing/working Gen-2 router and rectangle dish? The current Gen-2 setup uses the starlink ethernet adapter to connect to another router that feeds a TV. Thanks for any help!!

What's the average latency for Gen 3 router using the Ethernet port? Need reliable and stable video connection for Zoom, video chat, etc.

thanks, hopeing to get gen 3 in the Philippines...

Great. I just ordered last week. I'm guessing gen 2. My sub conscious was telling me to wait. I had trouble using my debit card. Usually a red flag not to continue, for me. Slow internet and impatience I persevered with payment. The gen 2 should be fine. I have a new HiKVision router which I will setup in WISP mode and should be good to go.

I'm curious does the new factory reset function in the app do the same as a hard factory reset.

Honestly. Not sure.

So this new router will work if I have a round dish? Or do I have to have a new rectangular dish?

From this message I understand that the Gen 3 Router is not yet being offered with new Starlink install packages, right? So, if I order a new setup now I will need the dongle with my Gen 2 Router. Where does this dongle connect? Is it between the router and the power supply?

Will I have to have new cable from my anntena to my router?

Checked Starlink on my account page and found out this new router only for invitation only at this time. but still good info. thanks

Hello J, I have cat6 in the wall frames, are those cat6 cables good enough for the Gen3? The 75ft cable Starlink sells on the website, is that the same cable for the new dish? Thank you for an other helpful video!

Hi "J", Great Channel! I am a subscriber and I have watch almost all your Starlink videos. I have a question for you: I am building a 30x60 detached Metal garage and need to get internet in there. I had the electrician run a separate conduit in case I wanted to hardwire the garage. I also purchased a set of Zuxel Powerline PLA5405 v2 which uses the house wire to get internet into the garage. What do you think of the Zuxel Powerline PLA5405 v2 for this purpose?? What is the best/easiest way to get internet in my garage. Thank you in advance!!

Just ordered my starlink going around about a week

Is there a way to use gen 1 as a node, if not what should I do with it?

So if you get the new router can the old router be used as a mesh?

I was offered and accepted one of the new Gen3 routers, still using the original Gen1 dish. I know Gen1 can't be used in a mesh network. I'm also using a Linksys node system to try and extend wifi signal but it's not performing as well as I would like. Would a different node system/wifi extender work better in this situation? Full disclosure though, my office/router and nodes are separated by what used to be an outside wall and I am unable to relocate the router.

I legit just ordered and received my gen 2 about 2 weeks ago an now there's a better one out...

The gen2 router is a copy of an apple product. Not only did they remove the ethernet port, but they also changed the antenna cable to a proprietary connector, whant to know a dirty secret? Is still an ethernet cable, you can cut the dish cable, wire an rj45 connector, connect it to a POE power supply and you can connect that directly to any router you want so you can throw away that terrible router.
