Thanks for this focused vlog. The Peplink B One is a nice device since it has the capability of Speed Fusion . However, I implemented a tp-link ER605 and added a tp-link access point for less than $150. This setup has all the benefits + mentioned in your vlog except Speed Fusion bonding (which costs additional $). My setup has worked flawlessly for 6 months in the RV as I can have my t-mobile hotspot, verizon hotspot and starlink all backing each other up (starlink is the primary) and still have 3 lan ports available of other devices. This is worth considering for price conscious RV's.
Thanks for sharing your setup and yes the TP-Link ER605 is a great value also. We cover TP-Link and others in our Gear Center - www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/tp-link-vpn-routers/
Do you know if I can use a Gen 2 cable with the Gen 3 dish and router? I have my Gen 2 cable buried underground across the driveway to the house that a previous owner put in, and I want to utilize it. Any idea?
I have had both the Gen 2 & Gen 3 and it's interesting that while the Gen 3 dish is taller and wider, its till feels so much more compact by not having that pole and motors on the back. It also makes it easier to store.
I have a pool house that has my gen 2 router and dish. I built a outdoor kitchen on the other side of the pool and was hoping I could get the ethernet adapter, plug it into my gen 2 and then run the cat cable to the kitchen where my gen 3 router would be. Would this work for a mesh system so that I have internet in both the house and the outdoor area at the same time?
Are you wanting to use it as a mesh router so both are broadcasting or do you just want the Gen 3 router to be the only router? If you only want the Gen 3 router broadcasting, then yes you should put the Gen 2 router in bypass mode. Do you have the ethernet adapter in place?
i want to replace my Gen 2 router to a Gen 3. why i need the bypass mode? result is 2 devices running but 1 need because bypass mode?! its more electricity coast. dont understand i want only a replacement 1 router + dishy
@@AUX-Pixelbrei As I showed in the video, the Gen 3 router has no way to connect to the Gen 2 dish because of proprietary connectors and the Gen 2 router is needed for power for the Gen 2 dish. The Gen 3 router cannot power the Gen 2 dish. So in the end you end up having the Gen 2 router for power to the dish, then if you put it in bypass mode, you need the optional ethernet adapter in order to hook up the Gen 3 router, and the Gen 3 router has its own power supply. The Gen 3 router is simply not a good fit for the Gen 2 dish. Maybe you would rather just upgrade to the Gen 3 system so you get the Gen 3 dish and router that works together?
If you are upgrading from Gen2 router to Gen3 router and putting the Gen2 router in bypass mode then remember to factory reset each of your existing mesh nodes (plug and unplug six times). If you don’t do this you will have serious problems getting your new router to recognise and be able to pair each node to your new Gen3 router.
The Gen 3 router does power the Gen 3 dish over POE, but if you are using the Gen 2 dish with the Gen 3 router, the Gen 2 router is still the power supply for the Gen 2 dish. The Gen 3 router can't power the Gen 2 dish over POE because the voltage is higher and you don't have the correct cable connections to totally leave the Gen 2 router out of the picture.
Starlink allows you to purchase the Gen 3 router stand alone and has sent emails to Gen 2 dish users saying they can upgrade and replace their Gen 2 router with the Gen 3 router. There has been some confusion around that and what we wanted to share in the video. Yes if you purchase the entire Gen 3 dish with the Gen 3 router, then this video doesn't apply.
I have a gen 2 on my large boat. There are certain areas with poor connection. If I purchase a gen 3 do i just plug it in where I want to extend the signal and connect via wi-fi to make a mesh system or do I have to use the adapter and ethernet cable to connect the 2 and extend my range?
As mentioned, you can do it either way. Hardwiring the routers together will probably give you the best results depending on placement of both routers.

Thx for the video!
Thx for the video! Just a dum question, can I do the opposite, add a Gen2 router to my Gen3 (main router) to create a mesh system ?

I’m using Peplink MAX Transit Duo Pro with FusionSIM and Starlink Gen 3. I was running Gen 2 but bought the Gen 3 for the more compact size.

Yes, that should work fine. You might be able to do it wirelessly also depending on the distance. However wired should give you the best service.
Thanks I’ll order it
Ya our house is a metal building. The WiFi doesn’t work well outside of it. This wired way should be good. Thanks again!
What's the Peplink's power draw over DC?
The data sheet on their website says 19w max
I hooked up a gen3 router to a gen2 dish system.
Do I need to set the gen2 router into bypass mode?

@MobileInternetResourceCenter
Thanks for your response.
Yes I do and currently it's in mesh mode but I wanted the gen 3 to be the only router.

The gen 3 router powers the dish through the ethernet cable going to the dish.

You aren’t expected to use the previous dish with the gen3 router the kit of the gen3 comes with another dish that doesn’t use motors and it’s PoE

Useless, title using Gen 3 router with Gen 2 system. Peplink sales
