    As long as I have used the internet, I’ve always found that an aftermarket or 3rd party router is going to be better than the router that your ISP will provide period. So no surprise for me.
    I use a Starlink mini and the day i used my old TP link router with it was the day i saw true Starlink performance

    My decision to buy a third-party router was forced by my inability to connect a Glance LED ticker to WIFI through the stock Starlink Gen 3 router.
    I chose the Netgear Nighthawk 7 purposely overkilling the needs of my tiny home but also in anticipation for installing outdoor security cameras.
    I hope I made a good choice. My new router has just been delivered. I'm watching your video to set it up so I can give the Glance another chance.

    For me it wasn't so much a speed-performance issue regarding Starlink's integrated router, rather it was that I needed to spread the wifi over an entire house, and wanted to do it via mesh. Thus I opted to use an Orbi router / mesh wifi system.

    Really great video! I'm needing those advanced features that my 2nd gen Starlink router does not have for doing my home lab. I have a 6e router coming that that has DD-WRT already installed. (It's a Geek thing lol)
    It will be interesting to see how it will work overall, since my house exterior walls are rather thick, being ICF block.

    For me, the selling point of the Gen3 router is the qos fq codel that Starlink paired with it. As far as I'm aware, the qos manages the connection for all users and balances the bandwidth between them so all users have enough bandwidth. Let's say you start a download on a random router without that feature, it will max out the download bandwidth for the connection as it tries to complete the download, everyone else on the internet is lagging or buffering or connection just stops working which can be very annoying. One of the main things I've seen in reviews I've read is how impressed people are that Starlink can handle multiple users at one time seamlessly, that I believe is due in part to the starlink router itself. I also think Starlink somehow lowers the bufferbloat as well, that may be from the router too, I'd like to see a starlink router vs a random router with a bufferbloat test. Thank you for the videos! 😁

    I just installed Starlink Gen 3 and connected its router to my legacy Eero three node mesh which covers my house and outdoor spaces. For starters, I didn’t bypass the Starlink router and my speed tests from either WiFi are comparable. I will eventually bypass it but my eeros do well with it’s host router Wi-Fi enabled.

    Starlink is not compatible with Sonos so will using the third party router with Starlink solve the issue with Sonos?

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't personally use Sonos, but I've researched this before for other people that have asked. Using a 3rd party router would allow you to connect again. They have a lot more networking options and can adjust for things that Sonos needs, while Starlink can't.

      It can work if you get the Business plan ($20 more per month) and set up a public IP address with Starlink. Otherwise you are correct, Starlink uses CGNAT with dynamic IP’s that are not publicly accessible.

      I'm currently using a combination of deco m5's and X55 pro's on a gated community about 1.5 acre. I found that in bypass mode, the mesh wifi became unstable and the decos were constantly disconnected. When i used the starlink router, and used the decos as Access Points, the entire system was stable.

    We have the gen 3 kit, but I enable the bands and split them. I didn't put the gen3 in the bypass mode but i also hooked up a 3rd party router to one of the ports on the back of the gen3 router. Is this the wrong way to hook up?

      The “Enterprise” version can also be purchased which has a POE injector supply with no router in the kit, so you can use your own. The supply is also rated for more power, and can theoretically help with reliability. Any POE supply needs to be rated at least 150 watts for this dish.
