Nice instructional video. As a network engineer, I have had to run things inside of tight spaces. I would have router the cable under or around the gutter. But mostly, a good job. Always good to share tips and tricks like this. We are signed up for star link in Texas. Hope we get it sometime in 2021.
Hey Brent, thank you for the comment! I hope you guys get your system soon, we're starting to see quite a few up here in Canada. I'm sure you will be very happy with this system, our speeds have only been improving everyday. Let us know when you do receive yours and tell us what speeds your running at. Have a great weekend!
@@AllMediaServices1 where in Canada are you located? I grew up in northern Minnesota. We live in Texas and saw a string of satellites fly over 2 nights ago. I am currently searching for best way to pole mount the dishy so am mostly ready. I know I can’t pre-wire with a Cat6 cable due to power requirements which will be fine. I just want to be ready when the kit arrives. Thanks for your reply.
@@brentjohnson6654 Hey Brent, we're in Central Alberta, a little town call Red Deer. I've been through Minnesota a few times and on Texas soil once in the airport transferring flights. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to check out the lone-star state! I've seen a few pole mounts already with Dishy, a few suggestions for you. Make sure to use the Starlink app and check for obstruction feature to make sure you don't have any interference. Even if you have a clearing now make sure that their won't be anything growing up into the line of view later on. also make sure it's not where the kids will be playing. The pole needs to be very rigid and in the ground along ways. We have to go below the frost line here in Canada to prevent shifting as much as possible. As far as pre-running a line, you could drop a conduit in the ground and be ready to pull the cable through once it arrives. Actually I would do that no matter what to protect the cable anyways. That'll make it a lot easier for when Dishy arrives which is hopefully soon for you!
@@brentjohnson6654 Hey Brent just thought I would pass on that the latest email from Starlink talking about all the new updates from them. They're looking for people to help build there network, not sure if that is something you would be interested in, being an engineer. I posted part of the email on our website, the job openings are at the bottom. Cheers:)
Hey ASMR, you can order from our site online and will ship them out. But you can also find these parts all at your local hardware store as well, and often cheaper without having to pay shipping fees. Hope this helps, thank you.
@@AllMediaServices1 Just tried it again with "USA" being the Country and State being Washington and I get this error: "Sorry, our products are not currently available in your region."
Hey Patrick, absolutely! And you can run the cable into a POE pass though switch and have hardwired connections throughout your home. The best connection possible! Thank you for your comment.
Good eye Mottofan16, That is exactly the kind of things you need to watch for. Using the Starlink app will help to verify your line of site. We're actually placing Dishy back into the original mount as I still use my satellite one for testing.
I am going to mount my dishy on top of a 10' tripod tower to help with clear view. Do you see any problem with this? I have not seen any install like that. There will only be about 12" of mast just enough to mount the dishy. Movement should not be an issue. Thanks for the great videos.
Hello Robert, If you’re using a 10ft tripod and a 12ft pole then this should work just fine. You’ll even be able to get even more height as needed. Make sure to use guide wires for the tower and pole to give it extra rigidity and peace of mind. With that height the wind pressure will get pretty intense, especially during storms. We have this idea on our video list, and figured they’ll be a few people who will have to do set-ups just like the one your doing. Thank you for the question and enjoying are videos:)
I'm expecting my starlink kit in May. Do you know how big of a hole would be needed to feed the cable through a wall or floor. I currently have holes drilled in the floor for directv cables from years ago. Idk if the starlink cable would go through that hole.
Hey Chris, this is a question a lot of people are trying to figure out. It really depends on what size of hole the original installer drilled. Stand-alone RG6 cabling only requires a 3/8 hole, but that is really tight so often they over drill to 1/2 to help get the cable through both sides of the wall. The Starlink cable has a large emi suppressor attached to it on the end that you will be pulling through your wall, it is 3/4 inch wide! So much bigger then a standard hole used for RG6, but I’ve seen lots of holes drilled that were way oversized over the years, maybe they lost a bit and had to use there bigger one just to finish the job. It is always good practice to cut the whole a little bit bigger then needed so you don’t end up damaging the cable pulling it through. If I was to do this myself I would pull the sealant off of the existing whole and see how much room there is, then bore out the whole to 3/4 on one side and gently push the bit through the insulation, don’t spin the bit when going through insulation, it can cause a real nightmare and wreck your wall. Push the bit through by hand, this will help you to feel what the previous installer drilled through, if you feel anything unusual like electrical line, the don’t use that hole. I would presume that it should be fine. If the bit pushes though fine then you just need to bore out the other side, run a string through or something to attach the Starlink cable to help pull it through and your good to go, high-speed internet from space, which by the way has only gotten better since we first installed it:) I hope you get yours soon, let me know when you do and what your results are. Thank you for the question.
@@AllMediaServices1 I'll give an update asap. I am thinking the hole for the R6 cable coming through the carpet is 3/8's. Maybe I can bore the hole bigger for an ethernet cable.
What do you suggest to troubleshoot needing more than 100 feet of cable? We are covered in trees and are about 300 feet from a clearing where the dish will not have obstructions. Please advise.
Hi Alex, If you watch our "Grounding" video we use a surge protector to add an extension to our Dishy cabling. That being said you may want to see if you can order the extra length of cable from Starlink as they have specific specs for the power output running to Dishy. We will do some more research into this topic and maybe make another video in the near future regarding this question. FYI Cat cabling has a 100m or 328' limit on long distance runs. Thanks for watching
Nice installation. Those roof mounting strips are really slick! Where can I get them? Can the Wifi be turned off @ the Starlink router? Our whole house is wired and we just leave it off.
Hello Ozarks Goldwing and thank you. You can purchase the mounts from our site or even piece them together from your local hardware store. As far as running your Starlink system without WiFi, you definitely can. After setting everything up with the Starlink router you can remove it and go directly into a network switch, albeit you will need to have a Firewall installed to protect your devices. Unfortunately you can't just turn the WiFi off on the router, but you can use the aux port to feed a network switch to supply internet throughout your home. The easiest option is to get a router to replace the Starlink one that does have the ability to shut off WiFi and has a firewall built into it. we have used many different routers on Starlinks system and they have all worked well.
What was the sense of blurring out connected devices then not having it blurred after the reboot? Also you don't have a 100 megabyte connection. You have a 100 megabit connection. MB = megabyte. Mb = megabit. I was hoping for a list of DOs & Don'ts.
Hey Halopcdraco, The blurred parts had some Mac addresses in them, so for security reasons they're blurred out, on the reboot the devices had not all hooked up yet so no Mac's to hide. As far as the bits and bytes your correct, I'll make sure to watch my terminology a bit:) closer. Thank you for your comment.
@@halopcdraco Wow that is awesome and congrats on getting your system!!! Those are some fast speeds! The fastest we've seen has been 173, but averages about 90. Check out our website for our updates www.allmediaservices.net/starlink I've heard that 300+ speeds are being achieved in Europe.
I already have a wifi network (multiple APs to a switch). How do I connect my switch ?? Is there an up-link connection on the back of the StarLink router, or can you bypass the router and connect directly to the StarLink power-pack ?
Hey Kasual, there is one output port on the Starlink router that can feed the switch. You can also go direct to your own router now and the Starlink app will work with the latest update. I wouldn’t recommend going direct to the power brick as you can but you will not have any firewall protection without a router in place:)
@@AllMediaServices1 Thanks for the prompt reply... Great to know.... Yeah, I actually have a Wireless controller for my APs, which is also switch/controller/firewall, etc... So, it could do the job... But, thank you for the answers...!!
It is outside rated cable so my answer is yes, however it really depends on the ground your going into and what might be going over top of it. If possible I would put it in a conduit if it is an options, not only will it give it extra protection but it will also make it easier for repairs.
Imagine having to do this again because of a bad dish lol. I can't believe they made it so you can't disconnect the cable from the dish, just bad engineering. Nice video, though.
