This is the best video so far covering all this! im with you on the box for the router.! I do product sourcing so if you wanted i would completely be down to help you make this an entire kit including the router box!
Good stuff. I saw that enclosure on printables, but hadn't looked closely enough to notice the creator had separated the dish the way you did. Should be pretty straight forward to make a printable box for the router!
Great Idea in itself to make the whole thing a bit more portable. As you mentioned at the end, I wouldn't put the router directly to the dish, as various frequencies may interfere with earch other. I'm not a satellite expert, but I would almost say that wifi - for exaple - could interfere with satellite reception. From what I have seen from others so far, I would recommend a different router anyway. The one from Starlink seems to be somewhat modest.
This by far seems to be the best POC. This will work great for back Packers as well as motorcyclists who can't afford much space, weight or power. How much power does this draw or, how long did your battery in this video last? What battery are you using?
Sorry! I just updated the description now. I don’t know if you can find that on Amazon but I found mine on Digi-Key website, don’t forget to buy the pins also to crimp the cables
I bought this uxcell Voltage Converter... www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTNLW8D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share And battery I am using is this one, SPARKOLE 12V Battery Pack... www.amazon.com/dp/B09GVD92JF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Excellent work, you can use banana oil to remove the glue from the edges, making it easier to remove the lid. I'm sorry, but I copied your idea and will try to apply it here to put in my car. Thank you very much for the tips in the video.
Hi, in your video I couldn't see how you connect the 3 wires from the Wi-Fi card (12v, 48v and gnd) to the inverter where there is 12v, positive and negative, with 48v positive and negative) i.e. I have 4 wires in the inverter with 3 wires on the Wi-Fi card, could you explain it to me?
Hi, nice work. We have just received ours. Have noticed that the dish has a lot of backlash. Have powered up the unit but still can tilt like 10degrees and rotate around 30degrees freely. Is it normal as as of your video looks quite sturdy dish with base. Tks!
Hi there, my gen 2 dish is dead and Starlink refused to replace it due to a sub standard mount, there is no sound coming from the dish and it won't even stow, i think it isn't getting power, is there a fuse inside that blows or something else that would cause this issue??
Excellent. Why are so many others destroying their Dishy when this method is so clean? Did you find a solution to mount the router and 12v to 48v converter together?
Hey @adeelkhanadventures9010, do you know if it can be slimmed down a bit at all? Is there enough clearance between the connector and the inner surface of cover? I have this crazy idea of sticking it to the inside of my sunroof while allowing for the latter to slide into the roof still.Thanks.

Is it not possible to just remove the stand and arm from the back and maintain the original enclosure? It wouldn't be completely flat like the mod but certainly still portable.
I bought a recon dishy and they had used better glue to seal it, i ended up damaging parts of it to release the glue. Something to watch out for. Still works tho
you mentioned providing a pinout of the connector to dishy, would be very helpful to have that! Also, which cable are you using to connect back to the dish with the (ZPDR-10V-S) white connector - is that the cable that is threaded thru the stand or is that part of the long cable that connects between the dish stand and original modem box? Thanks for sharing!
Sorry about the pin out part, I’ll update that tomorrow in the video but I matched all the colors that you will find on the connector that’s connected to dishy inside. I cut the cable from the side that connects under the dishy, the modem side is angled and not worth it unless you mod needs it, I used a dremel to sand out the excess part of the connector. All colors in the cable are exactly the same that’s inside the dishy already.
Hey, just a quick question. I am wondering how much current draw the 12V and 48V portion actually uses. I notice you only used a 3A 12V converter so I guess it must use less than that? Seems lower than I expected. And for the 48V portion, what does that actually power? Would I need more than 1A output for that? Please let me know, and awesome video!!! :)
Just desolder the big left chip on the bottom side and remove the resistor that way you can power the dish directly with 12V you won't need a 48V DC converter that wastes power.
Would you share what exact P/N your starlink router is? There appears to be at least two hardware revisions of the gen2 router with different Ethernet SICs. The older version uses Marvell 88E1512, and the newer is EconNet EN8801.
Hi Great idea to move router to the dish. Do you know what exactly is powered by 48v? Maybe only antenna surface heating is powered this way so you can ditch the 48v power supply for no winter usage.
@peterfairlie2296 You are correct! There is a way to use 12v only for Dishy, I did not want to desolder the Inductor and diode as I wanted to be able to reverse the mod back to original if necessary. I was very tempted to try Oleg Kutkov 12v mod (link to his website) olegkutkov.me/2023/06/09/how-to-power-starlink-terminal-from-12v-without-poe-injector-and-dc-dc-converters/
@@adeelkhanadventures9010 you wold be the first on youtube with "only 12V, all in the dish Starlink setup".

Only one anderson connector will be feed trough the roof. Thanks for the link to Oleg's blog!

@@EVIndonesia thank you! Looking forward to it. As you know the mini has been released. I don't know which one would perform better. But for sure, I would need a portable one for weekend travels. Thank you for all you do
@@baliwskiif you have choice may be mini wi suit your need. But here in my country (Indonesia) Starlink service just start about 3 ago. We don't think Starlink will release mini soon. even the gen 2 in avg need around 1 month waiting list. Lucky me they sent me the packet after 5days after the order placed. I've ordered yaosheng poe 3 week ago, it's not came yet all the the cost, the clone one cost me around 50usd. That's why I started open the router casing and end up going this path converting to portable 🤣
Operating temperature is -22F and 122F on Dishy and Router. I plan on using it through Tesla Model Y Roof so inside the car with A/C I doubt I’ll be hitting those temperatures (obviously dishy will be off when car is parked and not is use) but in areas with high temperatures I might take the router outside and put it in a different case.
Update: I was using this setup and it got hot enough inside the car (parked car) to give me a Wi-Fi overheat and reduced performance, so Wi-Fi module is the one that needs to be a little cooler, I put a small temperature control fan and it actually works great now. I’ll have a update video soon.
Thank you 🙏 you do but there are enough satellites in sky along with wide range on the dishy side that you can stay connected as long as you point straight up and even while moving.
I see that the system works receiving satellite signals through the FRONT windshield of a Tesla - have you tried it with the satellite signals coming through the roof/top glass on a Model 3/Y? I suspect it might not work due to the coatings that block UV/sunlight on the roof glass but curious if it might work up there.
I actually tested it through the top roof glass on our 2020 Model Y and it was working and stayed online during testing, it downloaded updates also. Now if they did some different coating on the models after 2020 then I don’t have a way of testing that.
Another option, mount wifi board and 12v 48v converter into car glove box compartment and run wire trow dor panel collun and in the roof install Waterproof UV-resistant ABS solar double entry for cable wire 6mm to 12mm for RV roof Boat.
I don’t have the round dishy to test with, so I am not sure on that. If it has same grey and white line on the side, I am sure you can gently tap using the pry tool I use to see if it opens up, but be careful there might be wires so gently separate it.
Not the best video or setup. There are way better videos on youtube than your setup. First desolder the motor jack you don't need it you will save space that way. Second desolder the big bottom chip and one resistor on the left side the board that way you can power the dish directly with 12 volts from your car you won't need a 48 DC converter that wastes power. Third buy a 90° jack for your ethernet cable and buy flat cat8 cable and crimp a new cable that way you will lower your profile even more. Forth get a better thinner backplate ready made there a few sold on ali express which are quite good and you will have a way better thinner dish. Fifth get rid of that big bulky useless starlink router and buy a third party wifi 7 router from ubiquity. And that's the final procedure so enjoy your new 4mm thick dish.
So far it’s been working great! I have used it on my family road trip and it’s been amazing, the only annoying part was tall trees in Canada but as soon as I parked pointing to the open sky it works great. I did a few upgrades and added a temperature control mini fan to keep the Wi-Fi board cool and added a higher amp 48v converter which made a difference for in motion speeds. Update video coming soon as I changed a few things.
Idk if i could like this video for the chassis opening part or laugh and lije at the band over hi frequency board chips 🤷🏻♂️, that dishy and arduino connectors for 48volts looks burny
Your Wifi is signaling direkt 7nto the Antwnna from the dishy and also the metallshield is missing you became massive problems with emv and also with your bandwith is signifcally decrease because of all these mods. There is a technical reason why the router is not in the antenna.
Thanks for the great video and clear instructions! Hope you will be adding more Starlink content in the future!
Cleanest adaptation of the Internet. It could reduce the size of the internal connection cables between the antenna board and the Starlink router as it has resources for new clippings on the connectors and make everything just one piece.

Great Idea in itself to make the whole thing a bit more portable.
As you mentioned at the end, I wouldn't put the router directly to the dish, as various frequencies may interfere with earch other.
I'm not a satellite expert, but I would almost say that wifi - for exaple - could interfere with satellite reception.
From what I have seen from others so far, I would recommend a different router anyway.
The one from Starlink seems to be somewhat modest.
This by far seems to be the best POC. This will work great for back Packers as well as motorcyclists who can't afford much space, weight or power.
