Starlink 12V Router Upgrade - Fully Portable, Saves Battery, and New StarMount
มุมมอง 27Kปีที่แล้ว
The current Starlink router setup draws battery unnecessarily even when in Standby, because the power has to be converted from 12V to 110V back down to 48V. I put together a setup to convert directly from 12V to 48V, saving space and battery and making everything fully portable.

      No it does not. The dish is a phased array and electronically “points” at the satellites. The dish just needs to be pointed straight up at an unobstructed sky.

    Thanks from Australia for the video! I've got a slight problem though, followed all of these steps but I'm only getting a low pressure flame now. I noticed that the hole in my flare fitting reducer piece is much smaller than the one I drilled out in the flare nut, would this likely be the issue? Should I just drill through the flare fitting with the same drill bit to allow gas to flow through quicker? edit: i think the problem actually lies within the hose and regulator I'm using, its a low pressure regulator so I'll swap it out for a high one like you listed and I feel like that should fix the problem :)

    Yes, looks very easy and it is. However, after my modification the router kept dropping out and eventually was unavailable. I managed to remove the dishy and did a hard reset on the router which got my a signal from the router, but now the dishy will not move off from “booting”. I have no idea what to do now as Starlink won’t be interested because I have butchered dishy and Star Mounts don’t seem to interested either. I am seriously thinking about buying another dish and stick with placing it on the roof. The star mount and removable mount shall need to stay on my RV roof as a very expensive ornament. If I could return the lot I would as after 4 days of fault finding and 1 day of use I’m not happy but I live in Scotland so not easy. I would seriously think hard about what your are doing if you select this product and the support or lack of you may get or not as the case may be. If this item was bought local I would be at the door demanding a refund

      Stewart, sorry to hear that you are having troubles. I’ve had mine running now for over 2 years with zero issues. In reading the many forums most folks who do 12v conversions and have problems tend to trace the issue to an unreliable “stable” and strong enough power supply/source. Maybe start there?

      @@jeepNtreetop Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I rigged up a fluke meter measuring the supply voltage at the terminals inside the mount and it had a constant 13.6volts for 12 hours. On checking 24hours later it was still 13.6Volts. I checked the output voltage on the 12V to 48V output to Starlink which is correct. So think we can rule out supply voltage. Interestingly, heard nothing from Star Mounts in 7 days, shockingly bad customer support.

    Friendly Caution: The antenna emits 12Ghz radio at 4 Watts on transmit. This is done using phased array beam steering. 1st. the transmission pattern of the antenna has a significant side lobe leakage that emits forward along the plane of the antenna (Into your windscreen). 2nd the antenna steering can be as low as 60 degrees from vertical. Not quite centre of your head but very close. This steering is dynamic as the antenna tracks moving sats. I would not every consider placing a starlink antenna transmission plane (face of dish) in any orientation where it exposes humans regardless of the period of time they maybe exposed. FCC has a prescribed limit of 1.6 watts per kg for humans. The issue with the sat antenna being it is not a cell phone or a cb radio. It is a highly focused beam array that produces significant gain in the direction to which it it transmitting. I would not like to drive in your car for any significant length of time. Sorry to provide negative advice on what looks to be a very fine installation and quality work. Science just gets a little in the way for long term risk. Hope the info starts you on a journey to evaluate that risk for your self. Bet of luck.

    Good looking product. I've done away with the router and in my RV I just power a POE off of my 48v DC system (I run 48v instead of 12v to my Victron). I run a similar router, which keeps a continuous site to site VPN tunnel with my office when I'm on the road. I however still use the full unmodified dish, which I just put on a pole when stationary. I considered flat mounting, but was concerned about the possibility of reduced throughput, by not having it ideally pointed. Has anyone compared the before and after? I may consider doing some performance tests with my existing setup before taking this plunge. My luck though Starlink will come out with a firmware update that blocks Internet when it senses the motors are disconnected. After all, they sell an "in-motion" dish/service so if a modification like this becomes too popular I could see them ensuring it gets blocked some how. Glad it works. Hope it continues to work. I saw several of these flat mounts on race cars at the King of the Hammers earlier this month.

      The flat mounts you see on race cars are official Starlink flatmount systems that never had motors and haven't been hacked. They are a lot more expensive out of the box, but keep the warranty and factory environmental resistance. I don't think they'll ever bother disabling hacked Dishies. After all, the profit comes from the monthly service fees, and if you convert a stationary mount to a flat mount you'll be paying more for the service but they'll have less investment in the hardware, so it's just as much a win/win for them as it is for you.

    So the dish will work pointed strait upwards without the motor to optimally calibrate its direction?

      Yes! I’ve been running my dish pointed straight upwards for two years now. No issues at all!
