Always do a reboot from within the Starlink App on the wifi and the router once a day. That will dramatically help with speeds... Also put the dish into stow mode and then hit un stow once a day and that will also force to dish to find a more preferred satellite which helps the speeds big time. I am in a waitlist area with the RV version and my speeds are always up near 70-100Mb download. Get 2-3 mesh units as well.... Huge difference !! AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the update, I was also confused on how any device will connect to the mesh node, I did what you did and it appears I'm extending my wifi outside up to 80 feet from the node without obstructions. Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you again Shane. Will be setting up the Starlink Mesh Network soon at my rural location. Already have the 2nd generation Starlink Dish and modem/router installed and operational now for several months. Working well.

Great video. Just got starlink yesterday and am looking into at least one mesh WiFi extender. I have a small house, but the current signal barely reaches the other end of the house opposite of the main router.

That is the router I got with my starlink rv kit which I'm using for home wifi still waiting for residential to go live in my area been on the wait list for around 8 months now. Ohio resident

Firstly, I’m a fan of Starlink. Now, the demonstration here shows that if you were on a video-call/zoom call that depended on the Starlink internet, the mesh system would have cut (disconnect, drop) the call while walking from the proximity of one node to the next. One possibility is that the system, as seen in this demo, was not really perfectly configured (say, a step was missing, like turn off- turn on the whole watchamacallit). I just bought TP-Link mesh EAP outdoor antennas, but haven’t connect them yet (OK, OK, I couldn’t). At least I know the TP-Link work like a charm, zero drop, insane outdoors coverage. But, if there is a way to have Starlink meshes, I would prefer to have that over mixing brands and lose the glamour of using SpaceX’s satellites.

The mesh routers are now live on the website just ordered 2 myself!

Nice video. I just got Starlink and the router is somewhat weak toward one end of my house. I was thinking of getting maybe a better router, but I think I'll try the mesh router first, especially since it appears that you only have to plug it in and let it do its thing. Thanks again.

I see you have poor reception by the toilet. Hopefully the Mesh fixes that :p I have Starlink for RV so I never planned to use it at the house as my primary internet source. But I figured what the heck and leave it set up when not traveling and the account is active. I have it mounted on my porch and the primary router is outside there too. The bottom floor of the house got decent wifi from Starlink, but not upstairs. So I bought a Mesh Router and just plugged it in and I get full signal up in my office. I was concerned it might interfere with my existing Mesh system, but apparently not at all.

I plugged in my Ethernet adapter into my mesh router and it is active.

So basically they didn't add anything. They just updated the software in the normal Router and said "K wanna mesh network. you can buy optional routers that will mesh network the system." But it's the exact same router/modem. So all you're doing it just buying ANOTHER of the stock router/modems as a extender/mesh node. Would've been better if they atleast didn't go the cheap route and made a new Mesh pod system that atleast had 1 ethernet plug on them as standard. Since right now their Ethernet Adapter to the router/modem/mesh nodes are currently hitting a halt right now from what i heard, Since it's so unique.

As long as you protect them from rain and direct sunlight, heat, extreme cold, etc you can mount these wherever you want. Just needs to be close enough to the main router to get a strong enough signal to capture and retransmit.

Each "node", which I include the main router in that definition, has the same signal range. It depends on where you place it in your home, what building materials are used, height of the mounting location, etc. My main router is centrally located in my house and without the mesh nodes I got some signal outside in some areas, not great. If there is a particular area outside you want signal, put the main router closer to that side of the house. The Startlink mesh nodes are pretty cool in that you just plug them in and everything is automatic. With the app open it asks if you want to add the node, click yes and it's done. There are much better 3rd party wifi mesh nodes available for cheaper but you'll have to do more configuration. If you are ok with that, you might prefer 3rd party options.

What speeds were you getting from the main router and then from the nodes?

@shanesdiy

2 жыл бұрын

Good question, I hadn't tested that yet but just did. I went back and forth letting it connect between the nodes and main controller and doing a speed test. Hard to get a really accurate comparison because back to back tests often jump around even on the same router. In the tests I just did all 3 were within ±20 Mbps of each other download speed, around 100-120 Mbps currently. Upload ranged from 3-9 Mbps between the 3. Ping were all 45-50ms. Those numbers generally go up and down throughout the day but those are typical for me. Didn't seem to make much of a difference if I was on a node or the main router.

Hi Shane, we are just catching up here in Australia and I was curious as to how many meters away from the main router you placed your mesh nodes? the app says 1 to 2 rooms apart, but like you, I have an outdoor security camera and a granny flat 15m from the house that I was thinking of trying a mesh node in?

@shanesdiy

11 ай бұрын

Short answer is that it's hard to say. In my case, I have two nodes. Node 1 I initially tried to install about 15 meters from the main router and it would not connect. It went through 3 walls I think. I had to move it about 3-5 meters closer past 1 wall to get it to connect. My second node is about 17 meters away from the main router the opposite direction and it connects fine. Must be something in the walls, plumbing, electrical, etc. blocking the signal the one way. So how far the node can be from the router is dependent on what the walls are made of and other interference. If your main router is as close to the granny flat as possible you might be able to get a node to connect installed in the granny flat. Another option, the wifi signal to devices seems to go further. I just now went out and did a test. I have one node near a window and I was able to walk outside with direct line of site to that window and I got 50 meters away while facing the window with my cell phone and still had a strong wifi signal. If I turned around with my body blocking the signal at that distance the signal strength dropped and the Starlink app said "low signal strength". So if either the main router, or a node is installed in your main house as close as possible to the granny flat, you might have a decent wifi signal in the granny flat to just use wifi out there without a node in that building. Hope that helps.

Sounds like a very nice setup! Totally agree, Starlink Mesh Nodes are certainly not the most economical or high performance way to go. Hard line is always better for sure.

I did everything as instructed and it still doesn't work. Thanks for wasting my time.

Please do not record in the 5 x 7 position only record in the 6 x 9 position thank you. I DON'T LIKE WATCHING TICKTOCK STYLE VIDEOS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT RECORDED PROFESSIONALLY.

No other option if you want to demonstrate the wifi range tester, it is a screen capture of the cell phone app. It does not work in landscape mode. I hate the layout too.
