WORTH IT?! Starlink Gen-3 Unboxing, Installation and Review!

Ғылым және технология

Is the new Gen-3 "kickstand" Starlink dish and router worth the upgrade cost and time to install? Here, I unbox the new dish and router for Starling's satellite based internet service, plus mounting hardware, install it, and review it for you. With the new Gen-3 SpaceX Starlink dish and router available now, I have replaced my older (actuated) dish and router with the new one. With a new, much more powerful router, a larger, flatter, but non-actuated dish, and even better weather protection (IP67) this new combo is very nice--but is it worth the cost and time to upgrade if you have an older setup?
Note: I am not in any way affiliated with SpaceX or Starlink. If you wish to look at pricing and availability simply got to www.starlink.com.

    3:25 That ladder angle is dangerously too shallow, even if it was rigidly braced at the base (not shown). The safe ladder angle for that type is with you standing vertically, the ladder should meet your hands outstretched in front of you. That is not a height that you want to be falling from, when it slides out or buckles.

    Never place a mesh router in the room itself where you want a better signal. Place the mesh router in between the location of the first router and the location where you want to use the signal of the mesh router. Check the signal at the location of the mesh router. It must be of a good quality. Sometimes it is hindered by things like mirrors or aquariums.

    Actually, to make a good mesh network, you should place many mesh routers all over the place. Like the name says, make a mesh of routers. That way the mesh magic actually works. Otherwise it‘s just a simple range extener. But yes, don‘t place the range extender outside the range of the router, that is pointless.

    I had an old style sattelite internet, where my other option was dialup, or over $50K to have DSL run to the house. We moved and the entire city has fiber from the power company with minimum 250 M Bit connectoin synchrinous (they market it as 300MBit) for $50/mo and no MByte limit. It normally gets near that with Speedtest and I am oh so greatful. (They offer higher teers for more money, but the 250Mbit version does what we need.) ... Other companies are available, but the power company is the cheapest and good and reliable service, and they don't market our usage data.

    Subd, I just got Starlink, ordered May 12th, 2024, and arrived May 29th. I have to say for anyone in the north, Starlink is faster than cable as most cable companies restrict your speeds horribly, so if you have $600 kicking around, it will pay for itself as it's $60 a month cheaper than my local cable internet. Games are fast enough, movies are 100 times faster, work sad it's faster but w/e Great video and thanks for the info, and they shipped me an old model that I don't mind, kinda cool that it seeks signal itself

I also like to play some on-line games so am interested in playability.

    I think you’re missing one aspect. The non motorized dish while it’s larger and has a larger field a view it’s 100% fixed. Meaning if you have like we had a few months ago near hurricane force downwind over 100 miles per hour and the dish sifts you would have to climb to top of house to fix it. Also I know mine occasionally shifts slightly to pick a better signal. I think the fixed is better for a person with an easily accessible location to move it if needed.

    As a starlink installer I just installed my first gen 3. These comments echo my main concerns, gen 2 always finds the best signal. This took me forever to install, I thought the move was because its cheaper but that is not the case. I don't understand why starlink would go backwards in technology? Time will tell but after 1 day things don't look good. So far every gen 2 I have installed has outperformed the gen 3.

I have solar panels on my roof and would need to know the watts to run the system, so I could buy an inverter. I also would need to be able to shut down when not in use.

    Some of my friends recently moved from Chesterfield, VA to Powhatan, VA. To help them get good Internet service, I installed for them the latest model of the Starlink Standard kit. I was pleased that it took only a week to arrive after it was ordered. This is my first time setting up the newest model for residential use, and I was happy with how easy it was to get up and running. It's still getting settled, but the speed has been excellent so far. After the snow melts, I'll mount it on an existing pole on their roof using a pole adapter they ordered from Starlink. To provide them with good coverage throughout their home I setup an Amazon eero router mesh network that is directly connected to the Starlink router. It works perfectly and made it easy to provide Wifi for two TiVo televisions.

  • @mobiuscoreindustries

    Specifically John is buying it for testing purposes as well as as a backup in case primary connection fails Starlink specifically markets 2 areas. The first is the "forgotten" areas of many countries and even entire states that are left with extremely expensive and poor quality networks. Often needing to rely either on satellite connectivity (which is very expensive and extremely bad) or old coax (which is still bad but less expensive). Starlink directly competes with these by actually providing usable network speeds in places where you may have a network so slow it's not even suitable for watching a video. And the second is roaming connectivity. Starlink works on moving platforms, even quickly moving and unstable platforms like cars, planes, boats (and rockets!). Starlink for cruise liners and other boats has been TREMENDOUSLY successful, and planes likely to follow. And of course dishes on the top of mobile homes and trailers for those that are spending time in those. Core upgrades with the V2 laser interlinks will likely bring connectivity speeds to similar speeds as fibre optic internet, perhaps slightly slower. It will still lose our to urban areas, but may just be what the competitive market needs to kick stagnant cable networks into gear. And finally, there is the developing defense sector. spaceX really kicked the door open with Ukraine, showing starlink to be a jam/hack resistant, hard to trace, hard to strike, easy to use, roaming and low power capable terminal for general communication and coordination. And despite some slight problems regarding regional locks and the DoD being lethargic fuck baskets, blew various holes into the sides of the Russian fleet using starlink controlled naval drones. Even managing some truly awesome feats like striking a Russian vessel underway in the middle of a storm. Starshield is the military dedicated offering for Starlink, and the US has decided to be the first to invest into their own constellation. I am sure many more will follow. So the TLDR starlink has quite a lot of capability gaps to fill, and is going to be growing in both scale and capabilities.
