I have the Gen 3 and use it while overlanding in the desert and back woods. It's been a game changer I can now make calls from anywhere. I only have it on when in camp for a hr or two at a time. So the power draw isn't a problem. I came across a couple in a broken down side by side in the middle of nowhere in the desert they couldn't get a phone service I popped out my starlink and in around 10 mins was able to get them help. Another thing I really like is I only pay for months that I use it. I can go out for a couple month trip then shut it off till the next time I go out. Not having to pay for when it's not in use.

Worthy of note. For a "backup" during a wide-spread internet outage, Starlink is a godsend. It is becoming increasingly more common for an entire city's internet, telephone, cellphone, and 4/5G data networks to go offline for 2 to 5 days, when some construction workers accidentally slice a fiber connection. When this happens, all services and modes of communication disappear, unless you know someone who has Starlink.

Chris, a fantastic overview and demo. Your videos get better and better each time. As someone dependent on Starlink, I thank you for taking the time to review Starlink and give your view of upgrades. I’m on v2 and overall very happy with the service, but I still hope to have a direct fiber connection some day and to use Starlink as a secondary source. I still don’t know if upgrading to gen3 is worth it.

I could get local internet at a much higher speed and at a significant cost reduction due to my work I am staying with the starlink for now. I too had to wait for the dongle to hook up my external routers and hubs. But it came pretty quick after ordering it even here in Brazil.

Some of my friends recently moved from Chesterfield, VA to Powhatan, VA. To help them get good Internet service, I installed for them the latest model of the Starlink Standard kit (Gen-3). I was pleased that it took only a week to arrive after it was ordered. This is my first time setting up the newest model for residential use, and I was happy with how easy it was to get up and running. It's still getting settled, but the speed has been excellent so far. It has ranged between 119 Mbps to 350 Mbps download and stays about 30 Mbps upload. After the snow melts, I'll mount it on an existing pole on their roof using a pole adapter they ordered from Starlink. To provide them with good coverage throughout their home I set up an Amazon eero router mesh network that is directly connected to the Starlink router. This new router from Starlink has two network ports built in, so it was easy to connect and works perfectly. It made it easy to provide Wifi for two TiVo televisions. They have never used TiVo before either. All in all, I'm very happy with this setup, and so are they.

@@MyTechWebTV For me, the UDM-SE strikes a good balance between nerdy network control and ease of use. I also appreciate the unified environment for WAN and LAN activities, including my Unify APs. It isn't the cheapest solution but I like it very much. There is no special integration with the Starlink router - the Starlink router becomes a dumb interface, like a cable modem. The UDM-SE does give me a secondary, basic "health monitor" of the WAN connection. I also enjoy having a remote console at via Unify that allows me to see all of the router's activities. It's not cheap but it was the best choice for my situation.

After the power CO-OP got grants to pull fiber down my road and a competing company also put fiber down the road, I canceled my Starlink. I still have the beta Gen1 dish hanging off my house. I would like to see a comparison of speeds to see if the old dish gets the same service because it was a better design but more expensive to make. Also, the T-Mobile service is $50 with 100GB of normal speeds per month + taxes; if it were $30, I would be OK with having it as a backup as we work from home and homeschool.

I'm in that portion of the subscribers. Starlink or other Sat providers is really only option for Internet. I can get a cell signal that sits around -102 db or less, which translate to less than 1Mb and under. I just talked to someone wandering on my road and they said they were working for someone that was doing consulting with another company that got a grant to bring in Fiber to rural locations. Unfortunately in don't recall the ISP though. I'm not holding my breath though, if the unlikely event happens, probably wont be for aother 3 years.

A thought on Starlink as a backup ISP vs a cell based backup. One of the things that came out of areas with hurricanes is that large catastrophic storms like that will take down, or severely limit, the local cell connectivity. With Starlink as long as you have power via a generator, inverter or power station you will have an internet connection that is not dependent on local resources. Especially since the satellites with the 'space lasers' can link across to other parts of Starlink's network that are still operational.

@@crosses101 the only reason it would move is due to the orbits of the constellation and it will scan for an optimal position... but this is an old requirement from a time when the starlink constellation was still quite small and the orbital planes were few and far between globally. but again to address your claim of "maintaining best alignment with the satellite" this is not true, its a phased array beam that continuously points at a given satellite.

I install Starlink for some of my customers along with other networking alternatives such as using Ubiquiti point-to-point antennas. My question is can I use the Starlink app for setup and then the customer put it on their phone to take over the system after I set it up?

Nice review bang
@ChrisGaukler Місяць тому
Great review....does the app work if the is no LTE signal? If not how do you set up Starlink 3?

I am now a subscriber. One thing I liked about your video is that except for the sped-up parts, you did not play any music while you were talking, More and more YT hosts seem to think that 'background' music is a good thing when they are speaking. Um, no it is not a good thing. It makes it very difficult to pay attention to what the host is saying and the c/c are not always accurate (writing 'four' instead of 'fore' as an example I encountered watching an aviation host tell me stuff). So, as I bought a house a few months ago that only has starlink gen 2 as the internet option, what is your opinion as to whether or not it would be worth it for me to upgrade to gen 3 come the springtime? I am planning to buy the ethernet adapter for the router so I can have wired connections in my house. Thanks.

On the starlink mesh can you run an ethernet between the two for better connection? I have tempted that before it didn't seem to work. I even tried using a point to point ubiquity between the units for better connection, but they still continue to drop. The range is very limited. This was an outdoor campground with a house and two guest quarters.
@ysesq 3 місяці тому
can it run without the router ? with just a POE switch powering it with my own router similar to gen 1.
@JoeLaGreca 3 місяці тому
Can you use a standard Ethernet cable between the dish and the router? I believe it is just an RJ45 cable. Albeit with some waterproofing.

I live in the country in the middle of nowhere, the only internet in my area has speeds up to 3mbps so I think it’s worth a try for me

Hello Chris, Thank you for your review. Did you know if I can use a wi-fi bridge point to point to link my barn 600 ft away from my house? Thank you.

Great video! Thoughts on a reliability test where you ping an IP for x amount of time to see how many drops you get?

My friend could barely browse the web with his starlink. So it needs much attention, that is for sure

Thoughts on stability for remote live-streaming? Upload speed is key. Does gen 3 make starlink an option?
@markpirola8152 3 місяці тому
Hi Chris. Australian Starlink deals are Gen2 router only. They state Gen3 is currently invitation only in the USA?
@Markgcr 3 місяці тому
I see the instruction drawing shows the dish pointing North. My Gen 2 Starlink is pointing East now. I was originally North but has slowly moved in an Easterly direction.

I got the gen 3 but I can't find any accessory's for it do you have a link I can go onto to perches some of the items?
@Haeze 3 місяці тому
I am curious about the power draw when in Bypass mode so it is not hosting WiFi... You also say that you plan to unpause when you are in an area with no LTE. Is it possible to go somewhere with no internet connectivity, set up Starlink, and unpause BEFORE you have an internet connection to log into the Starlink website ?

Not related, but what is the purpose of the short yellow extension plugged into the outlet at 11:15 ?
@NightshiftCustom 3 місяці тому
I'm using long range 5G Wifi with Bell in Canada. The antenna is on a 45 foot tower and it can use up to 100 watts so I don't really think the power is to big a problem with the gen3 dish
@CGRFilmsStudios 3 місяці тому
Will this GEN three still function if it’s not pointed in an optimized direction or does it completely fail to turn on? It would be kind of nice to mount this to the back of my car hitch mounted cargo box, but a bit fiddly if I have to change a complete direction every time

New to the whole home networking. Can you use the star link with your own modem? Or just able to use a separate router? And are you able to plug the modem into a unifi dream machine?
@DarthPoyner 15 днів тому
You wouldn't be able to use your own "Modem" or bridge. But you can set it to bypass and go to the WAN port on a personal router.
@ericschmidt3759 Місяць тому
There is a 12v conversion for power available for Starlink, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
@srowlandson 3 місяці тому
Gen 2 you can just bypass the router and not use it, I have mine plugged into a wifi router running on 12v in my Caravan , wonder if you can do the same with the new gen 3? Gen 2 required a starling to RJ45 adapter

I go camping alot at race tracks for race weekends. Most of the tracks i go to are in the middle of nowhere. Cell service is usually okay earlier in the weekend, but once more people show up, my cell service slows down almost to a halt. Would something like travlfi be a good option? Or is starlink my only option?

Having used this thing about 11 miles from the North Pole i can tell you that this thing kicks ass. Buy one if you have a use case.
@thomasbjarnelof2143 3 місяці тому
Sounds nice that you are able to unpause the Starlink using only the Starlink connection. Is it possible to also change the plan from Standard to Mobile while being away from home ? I might get one Starlink as a backup connection, normally in town but perhaps in an emergency at another location. In case of a power failure in a densely populated area of Sweden of the cell towers I will probably only have 1 hour of slow Internet.

Do you know if you can use the Starlink router as just an AP? I have an OPNsense box that I'm using for dual WAN of Starlink and T-Mobile, but I'd like to use the new Gen3 router for just it's WiFi capabilities.
@Rostol 3 місяці тому
oh wow, what a nice and timely review, i am just on the fence about getting one. If you don't mind the suggestion, the power draw is a drawback for me too as we are off-grid, could you test the power draw with wifi on and some traffic over it, like stream 2 simultaneous movies, vs wifi off and stream 2 simultaneous movies off ethernet ?
