Thx for the overview, Joseph! I finally decided to order a Gen 2 on Dec. 4th (this year) and it arrived - and I'm not kidding - yesterday on Dec. 13th. 😳 Nine days later. After reading story after story online about some people waiting months and months, even upwards of a year, I was shocked. I was prepared for a long wait. Not happy about it, y'know, but prepared. I feel bad for those folks still waiting. In all fairness, they should've received theirs long before mine. Whatever algorithm Starlink's using for order fulfilment, they're not letting us know. In any case, though, I'm thankful I don't have to wait. I thought I'd have plenty of time to order the ethernet adapter and mounting arm, but as it turns out I need to get on it ASAP! Wish I'd seen your video before I ordered!
I got mine 3 weeks ago, works great in heavy rain, even a lite snow the other day dident slow it up..... Crazy fast and reliable. Best thing I bought this year.......... F.U.. Hugesnet.
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you for all your starlink videos. I finally received mine, finishing up installation yesterday. I've been reviewing all your content and it has been extremely helpful. Keep up the good work!!
Very good video. I received Mr. Bevel 4 weeks ago and everything you have just completed I have experienced. Folks you need to listen to what he is saying about the mount you will be preferring. I wanted until I received Mr. Bevel to decide on a mount. I am still waiting on the mount for a permanent mounting solution. One other piece of information that some of you might need to know. My unit came with a very light scratch on the face. I was concerned of possible future damage so I contacted Starlink and informed them. They immediately sent me a replacement. I set up my original order so I could get internet and it is soooo sweet. But here was the confusing part. If you look at the 15 minute mark of this video you will see the unit move after he plugged it in to search for satellites. If you have to return your unit for some reason it won’t just fold back into the original position so it will fit in the box to return. You can’t even force it and shouldn’t try. This is how it will work if you find yourself needing to return it for some reason. You take the unit and lay it face down on a flat surface like your kitchen table. You plug it in and within 3 minutes it will fold back up into the position it came in. Hopefully that might help some of you. Possibly in your next video you might want to show how that is done. Great video!!
Thanks for the great video, it helped tremendously. I bypassed the Starlink router and used the TP-link Archer AX6000, TP-link Omada hardware controller, TP- link 8-port switch, and 4 of the TP-link Omada AC1200 access points. I hooked everything up as you showed and it works great. Then I added 5 cameras to the mesh and all is good. As you said in the beginning that ethernet adapter was the killer as it took me 7 weeks to get. Thanks again.
I just installed my Starlink last night and my wife and I are amazed! We've had Hughesnet for a lot of years and it is a joke compared to this. I put it on a pole I already had, because I didn't want to put holes in my roof either. Coincidentally, it appears we have the same roof, stone-coated steel. We love it also!
Minor correction, the speeds are MegaBITS, not megabytes - but still very fast... I agree with your assessment of sloppy delivery at end of driveway. I used to live in Jupiter so I can confirm, that box would be awfully tempting for porch pirates 😉
The first two (lightweight) boxes of roof mount and longer cable were delivered to our front door. Then a week later whoever/whatever service delivered the weights for the roof mount and the expensive/very saleable dish left them at the end of our driveway clearly visible next to our mailbox on a rural state highway that has been plagued by mail thefts. Thanks, whoever! I wonder if the shipments are insured by Starlink or the carrier?
I have the original dish. In Saskatchewan Canada since May 2021. We have had extreme heat, heavy rain and lately -50 Celsius weather with 15cm of snow and high winds. No issues whatsoever with service.
Just got mine 2 days ago, I have been waiting since last March. Tested it signal is great but weather is bad and I'm not going on my roof till some snow melts. Probably Monday or Tuesday I will get it installed. Can't Wait!
I purchased a unit about 2 weeks ago. Setup was difficult. I had not seen your video. I found you by chance trying to research setups on TH-cam and found newer videos. I am a subscriber to your channel now and enjoying it. I reside in Canada, Saskatchewan. I had to wait several hours for the unit to start functioning and put a ticket through the support to try and resolve the unit location to its proper location. I admit I am technically challenged with technology. Eventually got it working and had to relocate it. I ordered a gable end mount which I received yesterday. I reside two hrs from the cabin so installation will be in a few days. I am disappointed with the speed and the latency and I did watch your video on topic and wrote to Starlink. They said they would look into it but that is almost a week now and still waiting. I got an automated reply and that is it. I will continue to trouble shoot watching more of your videos. I also received an Ethernet plug in. Signal strength within the cabin is not very good unless I am right at the base unit so I have acquired a wifi 6a router and will try that. Thanks for your videos and knowledge.
I was a fairly early beta subscriber in the Pacific Northwest. I've had my system for just over 6 months. I have about 20% antenna edge obstruction from trees which is not correctable. I have an "outage" every hour or so that Starlink detects and records due to those "obstructions", but I don't see them in my system's performance. My average download speed is 169 mbps. My average upload speed is 14 mbps.The fastest download speed I've ever measured was 401 mbps.The system seems immune to heavy rain, fog, etc, which is an almost daily occurrence here.
We just got Starlink for our cabin in the Idaho mountains. We have huge trees all over our property and it consistently shows 23-25% obstructions at any "open" area I try. But, when we tried, I could not even get it to go online. Just wondering, since it sounds like you have the same type scenario, if you have any tips for me? Maybe we did something wrong.... I was going to cancel but might give it another try!
I had the same 'drop off' experience, only this was for our cabin in MN (slowest internet speed on earth with Windstream). I drove there today to check things as I do once a month during winter. To my surprise, there was this grey box in the snow by the mailbox. Must have been there a few days. Would be nice if someone emailed an alert saying it was on the way. Thx for the video.
Thank you for the update. Congrats on receiving you Starlink but yes! A notification by the courier would be nice as it could be damaged or lost and after waiting a year …. Well….
How does your Startlink work in MN with all the negative weather, clouds and snow? I'm 3 miles outside the Starlink service area in SW corner of the Twin Cities (practically farmland) and wish they would send me the equipment! 😕
@@hugh3056 So far so good even as the leaves are coming out. I was worried with our number of trees. Speeds bertween 70 and 170 mbpsecond. 100 times faster than Windstream. Weather seems to have no effect.
FedEx did the same to me as well... just dropped the Box marked "starlink" for all to see at the end of our driveway... which is about 400 feet from the house! But on the plus side Starlink is now our primary internet service and my 2 DSL 6mb lines I have balanced together has now become our backup service. Also we now are able to have live security cameras to protect our property out in the countryside!
That is a very interesting video, thanks for taking so much trouble. One question, any idea of the latency speed of your set up please? I live in North West France in a very rural area. The internet reception is CR*P so hence I am looking at Starlink. Like many people who have similar connection problems I also make how to videos for TH-cam. The last 18 minute video I made took me over 5 hours to upload!!!! So I need to do something about this. Plus I have a stone built house and some 25 meters away a stone built office and I need internet connection in both. From my research so far I have come up with a pole mounted antenna on the office outer wall above roof height then a feed into the office and from the office via an existing underground ethernet cable (via an ethernet adapter) into the house. Does that sound like it might work? Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Got on the waiting list about a year ago, a couple of days ago got the email, payed for starlink hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll have it up and running, Can't wait!! Great Video, Thank You!
Great information and I am waiting for my RV unit to arrive for my Alaska summer cabin which I can pause service and not pay monthly fees if not using. For installation on my A frame metal roof what mount do you suggest made by Starlink or another?
So just got ours, quick question can you connect cable it came with to the other (150’) cable to give more length? I also assume the more to the centered the better in the house?
This is exactly why im getting Starlink is to use it as a Failover IP. Spectrum is my primary and I have gig with them but the build out here is OLD and we are constantly haveing issues with drop outs, signal issues or degrigation of the speeds and since I live by a state park all cell service around here sucks so Starlink will be the only saving grave when it comes to having a back up.
Hey I just got my Starlink gen 2 “rectangular” type. I thought I seen on TH-cam somewhere that you’re supposed to peel the white film off the front of this dish… so I did, it’s working, but maybe I should not have done that????!!! Freaking out a little!
got my Gen 2 Mr Bevel. If I put the router in my garage will I get pretty good service through out my small 1900 sq ft house.. House is wood frame, stucco finish. Regards, Larry
Excellent video! Located in a Puerto Rico. Pre-ordered in Feb 2021 for service in 2022. 2022 came and service availability was moved to 2023. Today I got an email saying that Starlink service is available in my area. Order submitted… Can’t wait for it to arrive. Only concern is that the app is saying I have a 1.59% obstruction but there are none to the North, East or West from the spot I chose. We’ll see.
@17:12 you mentioned Device (is it your phone or the Mr.Beavel) ? Router is Starlink router. please clarify. Also for Video and voice calls for a family do we need to have higher upload speeds as well, am I right? It baffles me why the download speed is always higher than the upload speed, strange.
Upload speed is always throttled because the big corps don’t want people running web servers from their homes. Regarding phone service, wifi calling works fine, but remember to turn wifi calling OFF again when you leave home, or you will miss phone calls.
It's worst internet I ever had. Most real world.of starlink in voip is 100ms+ don't believe non tech videos praising the product this video is absolutely a shameful lie.
@@jcristina It kind of make sense. Having the dish right on would increase the capacity and decree the power demand. But then you either would lose connection for a fraction of a section when it switch satellites, or it would need electronic tracking and losing a bit of speed an efficiency for that time
Just got my Starlink internet. I remember you testing routers, and I forgot the final results. Please point me to the right segment on this. I watched many of the shows when you tested and sent back the ones that didn't satisfy your standard.
I wish I had opened the box up before taking my new unit on a 4 hour drive up to our remote location. Yes, we got good internet, over 100 Mbps both directions using WLAN. No, I couldn't hook up my video surveillance network due to the lack of the "Aux" port / ethernet port. So annoying. Thanks for the video.
Hi J, I hope all is well with you. I got mine recently, but I'm having issues. Online, but no Internet. There is an error message on the app that says unexpected location - can this be the issue? I've logged the issue with Starlink Support, but it takes ages for them to reply How can I resolve this?
Is this slop only in the 4 leg support? I only have this part so I don't know. If it there in the other mounts I will be drilling through for a sheet metal screw to fix it. I don't want winds rocking it back and forth.
Hi Joe . I received my system last night under the “Beat Effort” service . My speeds during “Peak Hours “ measured at an average of 60 Down and 20 Up with latency of about 36. And today, so far, I am getting about 110 Down and 12 Up during Non-Pean times. Either speeds are more than adequate for my needs . All of this while the dish sits on my deck awaiting a more appropriate installation . I am very happy here. Quick Question: Do you see a reason as to why I must disable the WIFI on the STARLINK router to use my existing EERO WiFI Mesh system ? Can They both co-exist without issues . I would love to avoid buying the Starling Mesh Router if possible, since I live in a large home and definitely need WIFI at some ends of my home . What is the impact of having the STARLINK and my EERo system working at the same time under the same SSID? I did buy tve Ethernet Adapter from STARLINK
You just don’t want them to step on each other. Say you have an iPhone near the Starlink router and it get up 192.168.1.50 and then the other router provide the same IP to another device on the same network, example.
@@jcristina You were right: it did create conflict . Problem solved. Turned off the WiFI on my STARLINK router and back in business . I am using the eero mesh system and it works great . By the way , at this point the “Best Effort “ service has been great . Speeds are awesome and I have not had or experienced any slowness that has impacted my internet use. Calling my Telco and HotSpot service tomorrow to cancel . Going with no backup #brave
I believe it’s lock to a specific location, like you home or office. You can request an address change but it’s not “mobile” as of yet, I do not think.
@@jcristina must found out u can use it for rving.. since we stay for like 5 months in a resort you can just change the address and it should work fine.. now… just need to order one
@@jcristina Could you create a ticket for me? I can not create a ticket without owning a starlink set. I would buy 2 starlink sets, but I would like to activate it in a case of black out of the power grid. In Europe it is kind of a possibility right now, and I would really like to be able to have a fall back system (starlink).
Hey J, great video, and glad I found your site. We got our notice Monday, have confirmed and made the final payment, and are waiting for the e-mail to finish our order....... However, we need a cable that is at least 200' long for a good/great unobstructed location due to trees. So, since the longest Starlink cable is 150', is there a connector available out there that allows you to extend them because the 150' + 75' would work perfectly?
@@jcristina Well, that's a bummer.... I did send in a Support Ticket and this is the response. "Sorry Charlie" Not really, but here it is: "Thank you so much for reaching out! With regards to the cable length, the max we advise going is 200ft as anything over that, even a few feet more may cause diminished performance and connectivity. You can use external extensions/adaptors to increase the length if you'd like to do so. The only equipment provided by us are sold solely on our website, therefore if you see 3rd party equipment mentioning Starlink, please advise it has not been tested with us directly. We have had customers successfully use 3rd party adaptors and extensions, but please note we cannot provide you with any suggestions on companies or manufactures as we do not test what equipment will be compatible in your area and or with our kits. Our team continues to work on bringing more features and available accessories as we continue to grow at Starlink. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time Greg! We always appreciate reading our customers reviews and feedback. If you appreciated our communications today, please feel free to fill out our customer survey on our assistance as support representatives, This survey is based solely on my performance as a rep and not exactly the timeliness or issues beyond our control. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day! " I've searched everywhere and can't find a 3rd party connector for 2 cables. I will respond to the ticket and see if they can do a 200' one for me, which they say is their MAX, since "anything over that, even a few feet more may cause diminished performance and connectivity". What I've read is 300'(100m) is the magic number not to cross otherwise service goes downhill. Thanks again JC
Hi, this is my question about the rectangle dish, once the dish has the correct position for reception, does the dish stay in a fix position or does it have to rotate to track the the signal? With version one dish if there was ice on the dish mechanism, mentioned that you would have to remove ice from the pivot point! In the version one there was dish heating, but not at the pivot point! I’m guessing that the rectangle dish has broader reception angle so it might not have to move once it has the correct position? I never recommended version 1 to my clients who lived in a area with icing!
Fantastic question, Bill.. Honestly I do not get ice here in Florida but I believe I've seen it move a bit from day to day but (BARELY) ... We've heard below from others that are in the FREEZING cold that the heating works great and they've not had a issue with it.. Thanks for being here, Bill.. Blessings...
Honestly. It took me during beta 8 months. Now that it’s out of beta it should be a bit fast. I would guess 2-3 months at best. Please let us know how long it takes you.
I bought from the Starlink to a product called a “short mount”. The dish actually snapped right into it without screws. Only had to secure the mount to the eve.
My starlink is coming in a few days and I'm incredibly excited. I also have att, but I have dsl. I get only 3mbps, so if I get similar speeds to you, I would be getting upwards of 100x faster internet. I'd be happy with just half of that. And upload, just forget it. I literally had to wait over an hour for 1 picture to upload. And it was only around 15MB. Starlink will be a serious game changer for me.
@@jcristina I do believe you meant "thieves", not "thrives" ... Completely different connotation. 😜 I bet HughesNet is worse than AT&T. At least you had wire/land connection. HughesNet latency ruins so many internet connections. 😡 My Starlink has shipped, so should be here within 2 weeks! 😆😎
This looks very interesting. When I’m able to get out of the N.E. US and move to Wyoming, Montana or Idaho this would probably be the best option for internet service.
I pre ordered mine on the 4th March (the round one as it said the new one only available here mid 2022 - Isle of man UK ) and I got it last Friday 18th and it's the new gen 2 now I had to order a ethernet adapter as I have my own home network setup with my fritzboxes 7590/7490 and still have 2 spare 7360 if I need to extend the network further plus Starlink has a ground station here so let's see how good the speeds will be getting it assembled in the roof of the 4 flat building next Thursday as there's no clear view on the ground buildings and tree's everywhere I have crappy 4g 5mb down max and going down a couple of times per day so at this point anything else is better as I can't get fiber it's just outside the door but the telecoms company won't setup on. flat buildings without at least 50% uptake and no one wants in this building so I'm screwed copper it's crap and more expensive than fiber had it in the past vdsl2+ that's where all my fritzboxes come from my 4g it's pay as you go sim card on a huawei b535 (had it on some mifi previously m7350 and some huawei) but got the router just to see if it would improve over ethernet and it didn't exact same crap 😂
Hi, how can I connect 2 antennas to one network for a marine installation? I believe there is a way to do this with one subscription and the system automatically switches between the antenna with the strongest signal. Any help appreciated!
Little overkill and particular about the roof haha shingles are nailed down anyways but it’s all good I just found that bit funny, good video. I can’t wait for our star link! The best wifi I’m offered is 3mbps atnt dial up. Or cellular wifi.
You'll be happy with the speed but reliability could be an issue in certain areas. I'll release a new Starlink video on Monday doing some A/B tests from 30 days ago till now.
I’m not sure about the time frame. As for gaming, in my area I would say no. Not that the latency is to high, I get 30-50ms which is playable but the outrages of 2 secs up to 15 seconds that happen randomly make gaming a no go. Movie watching or anything else that pre-loads / caches the data is fine. But, remember in you area it might be worth or much better. Over time I will speculate the outrages will no longer be a thing as more satellites at put into use.
I pre ordered mine like 4 months ago and when I bought it they said early to mid 2022. Now they’re saying mid 2022, that sucks because I bought it for my moms house, which I plan to be moved out by the summer time
Yeah, I bet a lot of us wish that we had those speeds! I'm not complaining though. I'm happy with my 80-120Mbps down and 10Mbps up. People are so upset on the different SL FB groups complaining about their speeds, you would think that their first born was stolen from them. Sheesh.
There is but it does not affect the unit or connectivity. Mine did go through a small tornado at 100 or so mph and it was fine. Mounted to eves with the Starlink Short Mount is the name at the store.
I ordered Starlink last year & was supposed to receive it last year but my state "requisitioned" all of the equipment so it's been almost a full year. However, we just got notice that we'll be receiving our equipment within 2 weeks. It seems to show that the roof mount is included this time though. If not, we'll have to figure something out. I was hoping it would have ethernet ports, but we'll have to see if we can get wifi extenders to work or set the modem somewhere better than where the current modem is.
Just installed Gen 2. Used the Flash & Pivot mount to install on composite shingled roof - I live on the eastern slope of the Sierra, with peak wind gusts of 80mph and thought this hardware would handle the wind load. Performance has been outstanding as a rural broadband alternative to lower speed WISP options. Your video is a few months old and the non recurring/recurring prices has gone up a bit. Good video. Thanks.
Got starlink gen2 but now can't access any of my smart devices or remote control my Ham Radio. Need port forwarding and vpn or some way to bypass the CgNat that starlink has setup. Any help would be nice to have a video on how to fix a work around on cgnat.
Just paid my 499 today and hope I get the Gen 2... Going to use it with a Mesh Wifi router as a second Internet connection and possible take to Jeep events and give out high speed access, watch TV maybe play video games on the Beach..
Just got my Starlink installed. I get the message "No Internet, Secured". As a rookie, I have no idea why I have great connectivity but no internet connection. What am I missing? Thanks.
@@jcristina Thank-you for a quick response. I did the plug and unplug 6 times in a row. I still get "no internet, secured" on my computer under "network & internet>wi-fi".
@@johnscooz interesting. I would try the direct wifi from Starlink. If it does not work I’d put it a trouble ticket with them. Maybe a hardware issue or simply something on there end which they need to reset
Where at in florida are you located. I'm 40min north of orlando. I put my order in about a year ago and it's still telling me to expect in my area around late 2022. But I put in a deposite for my parents who live in Pennsylvania in December of 2021 and it says they will be in their area early to mid 2022.???? If it's in florida now and it "supposedly fist come first serve," then why is my parents getting it in there area before me who ordered it almost a year before them
I just set up my gen 2 temporarily. Waiting on pole mount, longer cable and Ethernet adapter. I have a very old Apple wifi. Want to get a mesh network. I have an air bridge out to my metal outbuilding. In the house it is connected to one of the Apple Expresses. Which mesh system will allow me to connect this air bridge similarly to a “node” away from my base unit? My wifi “base” is across the house and it would be a lot of work running a cable all the way to it. I don’t want to move the base as its plugged into an outlet with uninterruptible power(backup generator.) Hope this understandable. Thanks
I’m using TP-Link but you can use any mesh network. I like a system that has a good controller and for me, both indoor and outdoor access points available.
Oh I didnt' even know I was getting a Gen2! I left a deposit almost a year ago and they just shipped mine out Yesterday and it will be on my doorstep Monday. Although I had to pay $495 and some change which I found kind of weird. And glad to know I need a wifi adapter to hook it up will pick one up tomorrow!
@@jcristina I'll be picking up a cheap adapter tomorrow, I did order the adapter and the pole stand from Starlink but they both won't ship out until after I get my dish. Even if it works half as good as advertised for me its still far better than the 4G hotspot I'm using now....2mb up and 700kb down on a good day....and I keep having to switch providers because AT&T keeps shutting the small businesses down
Yeah, I ordered in February last year, when equipment price supposed to be only $400. They finally sent me a notice last week that my order was ready to be filled. However, since it was a Gen 2 unit, the price increased to $499! I was so happy to finally be able to get it I "happily" 😏 paid the extra & completed my order, which has shipped & should be here in a week or so. 😎
The Starlink Kit is $599.00 plus tax and $50 S&H minus my $99 deposit i paid $605.17 today to complete my order for shipping. I ordered in March was told it would be available in my area of WA State sometime in 2023 and is available now, September 2022.
when the cost comes down? they are selling the Starlink hardware at a substantial loss, like half what it costs them to make...and the service costs less than any other Internet provider on the ground (which are substantially slower)
I wouldn't hold your breath on the price coming down anytime soon. While I of course could be wrong, everything I've read and heard about it indicates it'll be quite a while (years even) until that happens. As @cactuspits points out, they've been selling them at a severe COGS loss and still are. And demand for them is sky-high. (No pun intended.) High demand + low supply doesn't usually equal lower prices.
Are you doing some time in the near future a cutting the wired internet provider cord , if starlink proves to be reliable or are you keeping the wired connection to internet as a backup?
Could you please show pictures of the cable end that connects to the antena?, could be possible to enter the cable en that connects to the antena on 3/4 inch electrical conduct?, Thanks

I don't know where my original comment went but it's a brilliant device! Leave it to Elon Musk!
Mine is still on order. They told me, "Patience, son."
Thx for the overview, Joseph! I finally decided to order a Gen 2 on Dec. 4th (this year) and it arrived - and I'm not kidding - yesterday on Dec. 13th. 😳 Nine days later. After reading story after story online about some people waiting months and months, even upwards of a year, I was shocked. I was prepared for a long wait. Not happy about it, y'know, but prepared. I feel bad for those folks still waiting. In all fairness, they should've received theirs long before mine. Whatever algorithm Starlink's using for order fulfilment, they're not letting us know. In any case, though, I'm thankful I don't have to wait. I thought I'd have plenty of time to order the ethernet adapter and mounting arm, but as it turns out I need to get on it ASAP! Wish I'd seen your video before I ordered!
What’s the consumption ? There is some infos about v1 but can you monitore it for the v2 ? Thanks
I named my Starlink wifi "Spaceball City".
Very pleased with videos. I am 80 years old. Nothing in my educational background has prepared me for this. You make this child's play. Thank you!
Thanks!
Appreciate you being here.
I got mine 3 weeks ago, works great in heavy rain, even a lite snow the other day dident slow it up..... Crazy fast and reliable. Best thing I bought this year.......... F.U.. Hugesnet.
Hughesnet is the worst they just made me pay an outrageous early termination I filed an FTC and FCC complaint against them!
Agree, last time I had hughs was when they had a 50 GB data cap, ridiculous
@Blitz Gamer I filed an FCC complaint against Hughesnet and they refunded the $300 early termination fee.
@@anthonynye1747 I filed an FCC complaint against Hughesnet and they refunded the $300 early termination fee.
@@rboud666 damn I should do that
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you for all your starlink videos. I finally received mine, finishing up installation yesterday. I've been reviewing all your content and it has been extremely helpful. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Jc. Appreciate you being here. So glad the videos have helps.
Very good video. I received Mr. Bevel 4 weeks ago and everything you have just completed I have experienced. Folks you need to listen to what he is saying about the mount you will be preferring. I wanted until I received Mr. Bevel to decide on a mount. I am still waiting on the mount for a permanent mounting solution. One other piece of information that some of you might need to know. My unit came with a very light scratch on the face. I was concerned of possible future damage so I contacted Starlink and informed them. They immediately sent me a replacement. I set up my original order so I could get internet and it is soooo sweet. But here was the confusing part. If you look at the 15 minute mark of this video you will see the unit move after he plugged it in to search for satellites. If you have to return your unit for some reason it won’t just fold back into the original position so it will fit in the box to return. You can’t even force it and shouldn’t try. This is how it will work if you find yourself needing to return it for some reason. You take the unit and lay it face down on a flat surface like your kitchen table. You plug it in and within 3 minutes it will fold back up into the position it came in. Hopefully that might help some of you. Possibly in your next video you might want to show how that is done. Great video!!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Many blessings.
Thanks for the great video, it helped tremendously. I bypassed the Starlink router and used the TP-link Archer AX6000, TP-link Omada hardware controller, TP- link 8-port switch, and 4 of the TP-link Omada AC1200 access points. I hooked everything up as you showed and it works great. Then I added 5 cameras to the mesh and all is good. As you said in the beginning that ethernet adapter was the killer as it took me 7 weeks to get. Thanks again.
Thank you for being here.
I just installed my Starlink last night and my wife and I are amazed! We've had Hughesnet for a lot of years and it is a joke compared to this. I put it on a pole I already had, because I didn't want to put holes in my roof either. Coincidentally, it appears we have the same roof, stone-coated steel. We love it also!
That’s is great. Congrats Pat. So glad it’s working out for you.
Minor correction, the speeds are MegaBITS, not megabytes - but still very fast... I agree with your assessment of sloppy delivery at end of driveway. I used to live in Jupiter so I can confirm, that box would be awfully tempting for porch pirates 😉
Thanks for the correction.
How is the reception on Jupiter?
@@OrbitTheSun LOL
The first two (lightweight) boxes of roof mount and longer cable were delivered to our front door. Then a week later whoever/whatever service delivered the weights for the roof mount and the expensive/very saleable dish left them at the end of our driveway clearly visible next to our mailbox on a rural state highway that has been plagued by mail thefts. Thanks, whoever! I wonder if the shipments are insured by Starlink or the carrier?
I have the original dish. In Saskatchewan Canada since May 2021. We have had extreme heat, heavy rain and lately -50 Celsius weather with 15cm of snow and high winds. No issues whatsoever with service.
Thanks for that Kevin. Many people will appreciate your comment. Great to here!!
Thanks for your comment! Was curious about this! For some reason i ordered 4 months ago and received the old model! Why i dunno
Just got mine 2 days ago, I have been waiting since last March. Tested it signal is great but weather is bad and I'm not going on my roof till some snow melts. Probably Monday or Tuesday I will get it installed. Can't Wait!
Congrats. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍵
I purchased a unit about 2 weeks ago. Setup was difficult. I had not seen your video. I found you by chance trying to research setups on TH-cam and found newer videos. I am a subscriber to your channel now and enjoying it. I reside in Canada, Saskatchewan. I had to wait several hours for the unit to start functioning and put a ticket through the support to try and resolve the unit location to its proper location. I admit I am technically challenged with technology. Eventually got it working and had to relocate it. I ordered a gable end mount which I received yesterday. I reside two hrs from the cabin so installation will be in a few days. I am disappointed with the speed and the latency and I did watch your video on topic and wrote to Starlink. They said they would look into it but that is almost a week now and still waiting. I got an automated reply and that is it.
I will continue to trouble shoot watching more of your videos. I also received an Ethernet plug in. Signal strength within the cabin is not very good unless I am right at the base unit so I have acquired a wifi 6a router and will try that.
Thanks for your videos and knowledge.
Glad you are here.
Starlink has given my family the opportunity to enjoy high-speed Internet out in the country. It is amazing!
Likewise.
Thanks a bunch for the vids.
Just got our unit, i bought it for my folks trying to find a way to test it out before I do a more permanent install.
Awesome.
GREAT VIDEO FOR THE INSTALL OF GEN 2
Thank you Bill.
I was a fairly early beta subscriber in the Pacific Northwest. I've had my system for just over 6 months. I have about 20% antenna edge obstruction from trees which is not correctable. I have an "outage" every hour or so that Starlink detects and records due to those "obstructions", but I don't see them in my system's performance. My average download speed is 169 mbps. My average upload speed is 14 mbps.The fastest download speed I've ever measured was 401 mbps.The system seems immune to heavy rain, fog, etc, which is an almost daily occurrence here.
Wow. Great results for 20% obstruction. Fantastic!!
Outages should be less and less as more Starlink sats are deployed. The new shells will also give more options to fill out the voids.
We just got Starlink for our cabin in the Idaho mountains. We have huge trees all over our property and it consistently shows 23-25% obstructions at any "open" area I try. But, when we tried, I could not even get it to go online. Just wondering, since it sounds like you have the same type scenario, if you have any tips for me? Maybe we did something wrong.... I was going to cancel but might give it another try!
I had the same 'drop off' experience, only this was for our cabin in MN (slowest internet speed on earth with Windstream). I drove there today to check things as I do once a month during winter. To my surprise, there was this grey box in the snow by the mailbox. Must have been there a few days. Would be nice if someone emailed an alert saying it was on the way. Thx for the video.
Thank you for the update. Congrats on receiving you Starlink but yes! A notification by the courier would be nice as it could be damaged or lost and after waiting a year …. Well….
OMG! Windstream sucks!!! I've been stuck with them for awhile but my Starlink should be here in a few days.
How does your Startlink work in MN with all the negative weather, clouds and snow? I'm 3 miles outside the Starlink service area in SW corner of the Twin Cities (practically farmland) and wish they would send me the equipment! 😕
@@hugh3056 So far so good even as the leaves are coming out. I was worried with our number of trees. Speeds bertween 70 and 170 mbpsecond. 100 times faster than Windstream. Weather seems to have no effect.
@@scdi12 Thanks for the update. Can’t wait for Starlink service in my area later this year!
FedEx did the same to me as well... just dropped the Box marked "starlink" for all to see at the end of our driveway... which is about 400 feet from the house!
But on the plus side Starlink is now our primary internet service and my 2 DSL 6mb lines I have balanced together has now become our backup service. Also we now are able to have live security cameras to protect our property out in the countryside!
Awesome!!!
We have live security as well. Its awesome. Enjoy
Thanks, u too!!
Thank You 🙏, just installed Starlink Gen 2 last night.
OMG. Congrats Pat. Love to hear about your experience down the road and I’m glad you’re here.
LOL! I love the Mr. Bevel name.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you. 😂
Thanks! Mr Bevel arrived today (Sunday!!!). I’ll be using your sandbag idea for the roof for now.
OMG! Congrats!!!!! Let us all know how it goes and if you need any help.. Add to the comments here!
That is a very interesting video, thanks for taking so much trouble. One question, any idea of the latency speed of your set up please?
I live in North West France in a very rural area. The internet reception is CR*P so hence I am looking at Starlink. Like many people who have similar connection problems I also make how to videos for TH-cam. The last 18 minute video I made took me over 5 hours to upload!!!!
So I need to do something about this. Plus I have a stone built house and some 25 meters away a stone built office and I need internet connection in both. From my research so far I have come up with a pole mounted antenna on the office outer wall above roof height then a feed into the office and from the office via an existing underground ethernet cable (via an ethernet adapter) into the house.
Does that sound like it might work? Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Got on the waiting list about a year ago, a couple of days ago got the email, payed for starlink hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll have it up and running, Can't wait!!
Great Video, Thank You!
Awesome. Congrats Chad!!
@@jcristina thx
Great video, Starlink is in Colombia South America also. FYI.
Cool, thanks
Great information and I am waiting for my RV unit to arrive for my Alaska summer cabin which I can pause service and not pay monthly fees if not using. For installation on my A frame metal roof what mount do you suggest made by Starlink or another?
Excellent video. I would welcome a series on Starlink. Good Job@!
👍🏻👍🏻
Gonna get it, live southern Australia. Can see my biggest issue will be the ravens, starlings, wrens and at night, owls.
great video. We are stuck at configuration on the app, can't get to that step
Reset the unit but unplugging and plugging back in 3 times in a row. Start from scratch.
I ordered on Friday from a location marked not available, Vegas, and received Gen 2 on Monday. Humm
Congrats.
Mr. Bevel sounds nice!
😂 👍🏻🍵
Just received my Gen 2. Is was delivered 5 mile from my home outside the box. Hope it works
Fingers crossed. Congrats.
So just got ours, quick question can you connect cable it came with to the other (150’) cable to give more length? I also assume the more to the centered the better in the house?
You can. I did a video on cable repair. Check out my Starlink playlist
This is exactly why im getting Starlink is to use it as a Failover IP. Spectrum is my primary and I have gig with them but the build out here is OLD and we are constantly haveing issues with drop outs, signal issues or degrigation of the speeds and since I live by a state park all cell service around here sucks so Starlink will be the only saving grave when it comes to having a back up.
Smart! The only thing you need to remember is that Starlink router does not allow it to be put into bridge mode.
How are you handling the routing for failover?
Great Video ! Do you have any information regarding RV Starlink?
If you need it, it’s great. But if you need a residential service I would not get it as you can not convert it and would need to purchase another kit.
Hey I just got my Starlink gen 2 “rectangular” type. I thought I seen on TH-cam somewhere that you’re supposed to peel the white film off the front of this dish… so I did, it’s working, but maybe I should not have done that????!!! Freaking out a little!
I don’t think so. I would put it back.
Which mount did you choose? The eave mount? Is there a video for it yet?
Yes.. I have a video showing it... It's called a Short Mount I believe.
got my Gen 2 Mr Bevel. If I put the router in my garage will I get pretty good service through out my small 1900 sq ft house.. House is wood frame, stucco finish. Regards, Larry
Hi. Could you share trick how to set starlink if I need connection during the movement or driving, for traveling reason? Thanks in advance
If you don’t have the “moving” package then I would simply reset up at each location that you arrive at.
Excellent video! Located in a Puerto Rico. Pre-ordered in Feb 2021 for service in 2022. 2022 came and service availability was moved to 2023. Today I got an email saying that Starlink service is available in my area. Order submitted… Can’t wait for it to arrive. Only concern is that the app is saying I have a 1.59% obstruction but there are none to the North, East or West from the spot I chose. We’ll see.
Congrats!!!!!!
@17:12 you mentioned Device (is it your phone or the Mr.Beavel) ? Router is Starlink router. please clarify. Also for Video and voice calls for a family do we need to have higher upload speeds as well, am I right? It baffles me why the download speed is always higher than the upload speed, strange.
Device is the unit itself. Video calls are no problem. I do LIVE broadcast Starlink and only get a few hiccups here and there.
Upload speed is always throttled because the big corps don’t want people running web servers from their homes. Regarding phone service, wifi calling works fine, but remember to turn wifi calling OFF again when you leave home, or you will miss phone calls.
Getting mine Monday. I live in Avoyelles parish, Louisiana.
Awesome!!!!
Had it on the deck just put it on the roof how long that will take to self-adjust thanks!
10 -15 minutes max. Maybe less.
Thanks
After watching your account of it, I’m going to get one. 40ms to 50 ms is incredible! I set up voip systems and anything below 85ms is very usable.
Excellent.. It is a good service.
It's worst internet I ever had. Most real world.of starlink in voip is 100ms+ don't believe non tech videos praising the product this video is absolutely a shameful lie.
What one is fast man or both of them the same speed ?
Does the dish track the satelite, or is the moving just some kind of inital setup?
I think both
@@jcristina It kind of make sense. Having the dish right on would increase the capacity and decree the power demand. But then you either would lose connection for a fraction of a section when it switch satellites, or it would need electronic tracking and losing a bit of speed an efficiency for that time
at 14:40 you can hear the interference from being in the path of the dish
advice on reconnecting a cut cable on gen2
So very well explained!
Glad you think so! Hope it was helpful!! Thanks Donald for being here.
Thanks for the video! I just received my gen 2 starlink and it was “Stinky” yep the ssid was set to stinky when I powered it up. 😂😂😂
Congrats on sticky. 😂
Nice channel, you are a natural brother
So glad you’re enjoying it. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment
Just got my Starlink internet. I remember you testing routers, and I forgot the final results. Please point me to the right segment on this. I watched many of the shows when you tested and sent back the ones that didn't satisfy your standard.
For low cost the TP and the UTT are great. I’m testing a more expensive one right now.
I wish I had opened the box up before taking my new unit on a 4 hour drive up to our remote location.
Yes, we got good internet, over 100 Mbps both directions using WLAN.
No, I couldn't hook up my video surveillance network due to the lack of the "Aux" port / ethernet port.
So annoying.
Thanks for the video.
$20 and you should be right as rain with the Starlink Gen2 Ethernet adapter.
Hi J,
I hope all is well with you.
I got mine recently, but I'm having issues. Online, but no Internet.
There is an error message on the app that says unexpected location - can this be the issue?
I've logged the issue with Starlink Support, but it takes ages for them to reply
How can I resolve this?
Is this slop only in the 4 leg support? I only have this part so I don't know. If it there in the other mounts I will be drilling through for a sheet metal screw to fix it. I don't want winds rocking it back and forth.
Finally got mine, not just need to wait for the longer cord so I can actually install it.
Congrats. That’s great. Hope the cable comes sooner than later!!
Hi Joe . I received my system last night under the “Beat Effort” service . My speeds during “Peak Hours “ measured at an average of 60 Down and 20 Up with latency of about 36. And today, so far, I am getting about 110 Down and 12 Up during Non-Pean times. Either speeds are more than adequate for my needs . All of this while the dish sits on my deck awaiting a more appropriate installation . I am very happy here.
Quick Question: Do you see a reason as to why I must disable the WIFI on the STARLINK router to use my existing EERO WiFI Mesh system ? Can They both co-exist without issues . I would love to avoid buying the Starling Mesh Router if possible, since I live in a large home and definitely need WIFI at some ends of my home .
What is the impact of having the STARLINK and my EERo system working at the same time under the same SSID? I did buy tve Ethernet Adapter from STARLINK
You just don’t want them to step on each other. Say you have an iPhone near the Starlink router and it get up 192.168.1.50 and then the other router provide the same IP to another device on the same network, example.
@@jcristina You were right: it did create conflict . Problem solved. Turned off the WiFI on my STARLINK router and back in business . I am using the eero mesh system and it works great . By the way , at this point the “Best Effort “ service has been great . Speeds are awesome and I have not had or experienced any slowness that has impacted my internet use. Calling my Telco and HotSpot service tomorrow to cancel . Going with no backup #brave
I wonder if i could use starlink for rving we stay in a resort for a couple months then move… bc of work.
I believe it’s lock to a specific location, like you home or office. You can request an address change but it’s not “mobile” as of yet, I do not think.
@@jcristina must found out u can use it for rving.. since we stay for like 5 months in a resort you can just change the address and it should work fine.. now… just need to order one
When I got my Gen.2 Starlink and opened up that box, my first thought that is was sorta shaped like a Pop-Tart....maybe I was hungry at the time?
How do I setup an outside access also?
Che k out my mesh video in the Starlink playlist.
did you ground your dish
I did not. I understand that it is pretty safe as it come both did place the Starlink router on a high quality UPS.
@@jcristina ok i have seen where some have, used ground rod and wire from dish itself, but i guess the receptacle in the house would be grounded
I heard ,that you can set up for multiple uses. How the question. Please
can you pause the billing, for example if you are planning on going for a longer trip?
Great question. I would enter a ticket for that answer as I do not know. Sorry
@@jcristina Could you create a ticket for me? I can not create a ticket without owning a starlink set. I would buy 2 starlink sets, but I would like to activate it in a case of black out of the power grid. In Europe it is kind of a possibility right now, and I would really like to be able to have a fall back system (starlink).
What was the hole size you drill on the wall to pass the antena cable?
3/4” 👍🏻
Can I use starling for two houses 200 ft next to each other
I cannot fit my wire from the satellite dish through a hole like that? It’s got a weird 45 angle on it and is large??
It bends flat. 😉
It bends flat
The other end coming out of the rectangle dish yes!!!!! Thanks!!!
Hey J, great video, and glad I found your site. We got our notice Monday, have confirmed and made the final payment, and are waiting for the e-mail to finish our order....... However, we need a cable that is at least 200' long for a good/great unobstructed location due to trees. So, since the longest Starlink cable is 150', is there a connector available out there that allows you to extend them because the 150' + 75' would work perfectly?
I do not believe so, sadly. You may want to put in a ticket and have them make an exception possibly.
@@jcristina
Well, that's a bummer.... I did send in a Support Ticket and this is the response. "Sorry Charlie" Not really, but here it is:
"Thank you so much for reaching out!
With regards to the cable length, the max we advise going is 200ft as anything over that, even a few feet more may cause diminished performance and connectivity. You can use external extensions/adaptors to increase the length if you'd like to do so. The only equipment provided by us are sold solely on our website, therefore if you see 3rd party equipment mentioning Starlink, please advise it has not been tested with us directly. We have had customers successfully use 3rd party adaptors and extensions, but please note we cannot provide you with any suggestions on companies or manufactures as we do not test what equipment will be compatible in your area and or with our kits.
Our team continues to work on bringing more features and available accessories as we continue to grow at Starlink. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time Greg!

I've searched everywhere and can't find a 3rd party connector for 2 cables. I will respond to the ticket and see if they can do a 200' one for me, which they say is their MAX, since "anything over that, even a few feet more may cause diminished performance and connectivity". What I've read is 300'(100m) is the magic number not to cross otherwise service goes downhill.
Thanks again JC
Hi, this is my question about the rectangle dish, once the dish has the correct position for reception, does the dish stay in a fix position or does it have to rotate to track the the signal? With version one dish if there was ice on the dish mechanism, mentioned that you would have to remove ice from the pivot point! In the version one there was dish heating, but not at the pivot point! I’m guessing that the rectangle dish has broader reception angle so it might not have to move once it has the correct position? I never recommended version 1 to my clients who lived in a area with icing!
Fantastic question, Bill.. Honestly I do not get ice here in Florida but I believe I've seen it move a bit from day to day but (BARELY) ... We've heard below from others that are in the FREEZING cold that the heating works great and they've not had a issue with it.. Thanks for being here, Bill.. Blessings...
Any idea on how long to get the dish? I ordered 01.12.22 . Great video!
Honestly. It took me during beta 8 months. Now that it’s out of beta it should be a bit fast. I would guess 2-3 months at best. Please let us know how long it takes you.
Just got mine today. It took about 7 months. Haven't hooked it up yet because its snowing like hell.
Hi JCristina, Do you have any video or info on how you switched your base to the wall mount? I can't get my base disconnected. Laura in Wisconsin
I bought from the Starlink to a product called a “short mount”. The dish actually snapped right into it without screws. Only had to secure the mount to the eve.
Is there any light on the Router to show it is collecting power?
No light on the front.
@@jcristina there's one on the bottom 😀
199 canadian dollars now for the gen 2 system. Amazing. I just bought it last week for 350 canadian. I waited over 2 years.
Sweet
My starlink is coming in a few days and I'm incredibly excited. I also have att, but I have dsl. I get only 3mbps, so if I get similar speeds to you, I would be getting upwards of 100x faster internet. I'd be happy with just half of that. And upload, just forget it. I literally had to wait over an hour for 1 picture to upload. And it was only around 15MB.
Starlink will be a serious game changer for me.
Congrats!! Man do I hate AT&T. One of the worse. If that possible as the telco are all con-artists and thrives imho.
I installed mine yesterday and it's incredible.
Let me tell ya I got mine about 2 weeks ago and I can definitely confirm you will love it!
@@jcristina I do believe you meant "thieves", not "thrives" ... Completely different connotation. 😜 I bet HughesNet is worse than AT&T. At least you had wire/land connection. HughesNet latency ruins so many internet connections. 😡 My Starlink has shipped, so should be here within 2 weeks! 😆😎
This looks very interesting. When I’m able to get out of the N.E. US and move to Wyoming, Montana or Idaho this would probably be the best option for internet service.
Absolutely.
I pre ordered mine on the 4th March (the round one as it said the new one only available here mid 2022 - Isle of man UK ) and I got it last Friday 18th and it's the new gen 2 now I had to order a ethernet adapter as I have my own home network setup with my fritzboxes 7590/7490 and still have 2 spare 7360 if I need to extend the network further plus Starlink has a ground station here so let's see how good the speeds will be getting it assembled in the roof of the 4 flat building next Thursday as there's no clear view on the ground buildings and tree's everywhere I have crappy 4g 5mb down max and going down a couple of times per day so at this point anything else is better as I can't get fiber it's just outside the door but the telecoms company won't setup on. flat buildings without at least 50% uptake and no one wants in this building so I'm screwed copper it's crap and more expensive than fiber had it in the past vdsl2+ that's where all my fritzboxes come from my 4g it's pay as you go sim card on a huawei b535 (had it on some mifi previously m7350 and some huawei) but got the router just to see if it would improve over ethernet and it didn't exact same crap 😂
I personally love the Starlink service. Is it perfect. No. Is it getting better. Yes. And that’s the direct I like to see for any product.
Hi, how can I connect 2 antennas to one network for a marine installation? I believe there is a way to do this with one subscription and the system automatically switches between the antenna with the strongest signal. Any help appreciated!
I would use a DUAL-WAN setup.. Check out today's video.. I just did a step by step. th-cam.com/video/SAH_3ofiiUE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a million 👍👍👍
Can you tell us more about an outside access point for better outdoor reception?
Sooner! Working on an update next week.. Thanks Jolly!
Information. I’m up north where it’s around -20 to -30. And the snow is no problem. Works good. For people wondering about the cold weather.
Great information!!!
Were your speed fast from the get go? In getting 30 max (rarely) 5-10 up. With 0.1% obstruction . Also the router is pretty hot to the touch also
Little overkill and particular about the roof haha shingles are nailed down anyways but it’s all good I just found that bit funny, good video. I can’t wait for our star link! The best wifi I’m offered is 3mbps atnt dial up. Or cellular wifi.
You'll be happy with the speed but reliability could be an issue in certain areas. I'll release a new Starlink video on Monday doing some A/B tests from 30 days ago till now.
price for 150 ft cable?
If it’s available where you live how long does it usually take to get the setup.? Also is it good for gaming
I’m not sure about the time frame. As for gaming, in my area I would say no. Not that the latency is to high, I get 30-50ms which is playable but the outrages of 2 secs up to 15 seconds that happen randomly make gaming a no go. Movie watching or anything else that pre-loads / caches the data is fine. But, remember in you area it might be worth or much better. Over time I will speculate the outrages will no longer be a thing as more satellites at put into use.
I pre ordered mine like 4 months ago and when I bought it they said early to mid 2022. Now they’re saying mid 2022, that sucks because I bought it for my moms house, which I plan to be moved out by the summer time
Yeah, I bet a lot of us wish that we had those speeds! I'm not complaining though. I'm happy with my 80-120Mbps down and 10Mbps up. People are so upset on the different SL FB groups complaining about their speeds, you would think that their first born was stolen from them. Sheesh.
lol. I've been dealing with 15 down 1.5 up for 20 years.. Starlink is a game changer.. Perfect, hell know, but a HUGE improvement over what I had..
Slop in gen 2 latch! Disappointing rotary looseness on the key molded into the standard 4 leg
There is but it does not affect the unit or connectivity. Mine did go through a small tornado at 100 or so mph and it was fine. Mounted to eves with the Starlink Short Mount is the name at the store.
I’m showing like 5 percent obstruction while testing with the app. Do you think it will still work?
That's more that fine! 5% is nothing.
I ordered Starlink last year & was supposed to receive it last year but my state "requisitioned" all of the equipment so it's been almost a full year. However, we just got notice that we'll be receiving our equipment within 2 weeks. It seems to show that the roof mount is included this time though. If not, we'll have to figure something out. I was hoping it would have ethernet ports, but we'll have to see if we can get wifi extenders to work or set the modem somewhere better than where the current modem is.
Awesome!! Congrats.
Just installed Gen 2. Used the Flash & Pivot mount to install on composite shingled roof - I live on the eastern slope of the Sierra, with peak wind gusts of 80mph and thought this hardware would handle the wind load. Performance has been outstanding as a rural broadband alternative to lower speed WISP options. Your video is a few months old and the non recurring/recurring prices has gone up a bit. Good video. Thanks.
Absolutely. $99 to $110 sadly but honestly. It’s still a great value.
Got starlink gen2 but now can't access any of my smart devices or remote control my Ham Radio. Need port forwarding and vpn or some way to bypass the CgNat that starlink has setup. Any help would be nice to have a video on how to fix a work around on cgnat.
Wrote this down. Thanks for the video idea!
How to purchase items?
Starlink.com for that gear and all the other product I have links in the description. 👍🏻
Just paid my 499 today and hope I get the Gen 2... Going to use it with a Mesh Wifi router as a second Internet connection and possible take to Jeep events and give out high speed access, watch TV maybe play video games on the Beach..
Sounds awesome.. Make sure you get that $20 Ethernet Adapter!
Just got my Starlink installed. I get the message "No Internet, Secured". As a rookie, I have no idea why I have great connectivity but no internet connection. What am I missing? Thanks.
Factory reboot. Just incase there was a glitch. Plug and unplug 6 times in a row.
@@jcristina Thank-you for a quick response. I did the plug and unplug 6 times in a row. I still get "no internet, secured" on my computer under "network & internet>wi-fi".
@@johnscooz interesting. I would try the direct wifi from Starlink. If it does not work I’d put it a trouble ticket with them. Maybe a hardware issue or simply something on there end which they need to reset
Where at in florida are you located. I'm 40min north of orlando. I put my order in about a year ago and it's still telling me to expect in my area around late 2022. But I put in a deposite for my parents who live in Pennsylvania in December of 2021 and it says they will be in their area early to mid 2022.???? If it's in florida now and it "supposedly fist come first serve," then why is my parents getting it in there area before me who ordered it almost a year before them
I’m 3 south of Orlando. Also. I can guess why.
I just set up my gen 2 temporarily. Waiting on pole mount, longer cable and Ethernet adapter.
I have a very old Apple wifi. Want to get a mesh network. I have an air bridge out to my metal outbuilding. In the house it is connected to one of the Apple Expresses.
Which mesh system will allow me to connect this air bridge similarly to a “node” away from my base unit? My wifi “base” is across the house and it would be a lot of work running a cable all the way to it. I don’t want to move the base as its plugged into an outlet with uninterruptible power(backup generator.)
Hope this understandable.
Thanks
I’m using TP-Link but you can use any mesh network. I like a system that has a good controller and for me, both indoor and outdoor access points available.
Oh I didnt' even know I was getting a Gen2! I left a deposit almost a year ago and they just shipped mine out Yesterday and it will be on my doorstep Monday. Although I had to pay $495 and some change which I found kind of weird. And glad to know I need a wifi adapter to hook it up will pick one up tomorrow!
So glad to have helped.
@@jcristina I'll be picking up a cheap adapter tomorrow, I did order the adapter and the pole stand from Starlink but they both won't ship out until after I get my dish. Even if it works half as good as advertised for me its still far better than the 4G hotspot I'm using now....2mb up and 700kb down on a good day....and I keep having to switch providers because AT&T keeps shutting the small businesses down
Reverse that 2mb down and 700Kb up XD need to proofread before I post something
Yeah, I ordered in February last year, when equipment price supposed to be only $400. They finally sent me a notice last week that my order was ready to be filled. However, since it was a Gen 2 unit, the price increased to $499! I was so happy to finally be able to get it I "happily" 😏 paid the extra & completed my order, which has shipped & should be here in a week or so. 😎
The Starlink Kit is $599.00 plus tax and $50 S&H minus my $99 deposit i paid $605.17 today to complete my order for shipping. I ordered in March was told it would be available in my area of WA State sometime in 2023 and is available now, September 2022.
No cheap but it is the best option for many in the rural area that don’t have high speed access. 🍵👍🏻
Same here almost a year later. I signed up just a few months ago and getting it now finally. So dang happy
I am excited about this new internet portal. When the cost comes down I'll be on board. I'll probably buy stock in the company first though.
Smart. IPO coming
when the cost comes down? they are selling the Starlink hardware at a substantial loss, like half what it costs them to make...and the service costs less than any other Internet provider on the ground (which are substantially slower)
@@martinluthierking I expect to pay less than my current $100 CA/month for internet service. It's the hardware that's the issue.
I wouldn't hold your breath on the price coming down anytime soon. While I of course could be wrong, everything I've read and heard about it indicates it'll be quite a while (years even) until that happens. As @cactuspits points out, they've been selling them at a severe COGS loss and still are. And demand for them is sky-high. (No pun intended.) High demand + low supply doesn't usually equal lower prices.
@@nononsenseBennett yeah but you own the hardware so it’s technically not a sunken cost
Can you better explain the extra wire for the hotspot, please?
One power wire and one POE wire that goes to the dish itself. That all you get. I would advise that you get the $20 ethernet adapter also.
Are you doing some time in the near future a cutting the wired internet provider cord , if starlink proves to be reliable or are you keeping the wired connection to internet as a backup?
Keeping both for now. Just came out of beta so we need to monitor its development. Exciting though. Yep another Cord Cutting.
2-3 months! Bahahaha. Mine comes on Friday after 1.5 years. BUT, it's worth the wait. I can hardly wait.
I did wait 9 months or so to get Starlink by Nov or 2021.
Could you please show pictures of the cable end that connects to the antena?, could be possible to enter the cable en that connects to the antena on 3/4 inch electrical conduct?, Thanks
Yes and yes. The end is shown in the unboxing and the hole I drilled is exactly 3/4”. All good. 💪🏻👍🏻🍵
@@jcristina Thanks
@@jcristina The end you unplugged from the router had a big 90 degree connection. Does that end flatten out or is the other end straight?
i already deposited $99, and now i want to purchase their ethernet adapter. how to order in that ethernet adapter Sir?
You must wait until you order is shipped. I know. I know. It’s stupid.
WTF! by the way thanks for your reply!
