My gen 2 is on the way BUT I can no longer extend the cable as you could with gen 1 since there is no power brick that allowed you to use ethernet cable from the brick in an out location to the modem in the house. Can I put the gen 2 modem in an out building with power, use the ethernet adapter and run exterior cat 6 cable to another modem in the house? Can't come up with any other option. HELP!

Hi, so I’m interested in purchasing Starlink. I’m having a hard time maneuvering this site. It doesn’t give me a choice of which system I want. Do you get the most recent one? Or is there a choice? Also does “everything” come with It? The mesh router says optional. For those in rural areas do you think the mesh really worth purchasing?? I don’t wanna have to go back reorder again. Thanks so much everyone in advance. Old woman trying to use hi-tech technology!
thanks a lot
Extended Connectivity: Elevate your Starlink experience with our 75ft Cable Extension & Repair Kit, allowing you to extend your connectivity up to 225ft for optimal placement.They will work as separate, independent systems. The Starlink Mesh feature will not be available. This means that each router/antenna pair will be isolated, and data will not be shared among Core Ball routers on the internal connect a 3rd party router or mesh system, you will need to purchase the Ethernet Adapter from the Starlink Shop to allow for a wired connection to the network. Bypass mode can be enabled via the Starlink app under "Settings". Bypass mode will completely disable the built-in Starlink WiFi router functionality.
How much space or feet can a single starlink device cover in terms coverage in an apartment.

Is cat6a cable not poe compatable with the starlink system? I have about 200ft to go to get out of the trees and will give cat6 a try, what do you think?
I recently sent a request to purchase a starlink internet satellite dish this was done on December 19th i have yet to receive an e mail to receive further instructions .Does it usually takes this long to answer ?
As a follow-up: I did reach out to Starlink Support (if that is such a thing) before I completed my order to ask if I could simply swap the 150' cable vs the 75' cable and pay the difference. NO reply
Hi there,
I have read a few threads along this vein but not sure if I got a clear answer so I will describe my scenario.
I have ordered, and will soon receive, my Starlight kit ( with rectangular dish). The kit includes the 75 foot cable.
I plan to mount the dish on a pole on my property that is approx 150 feet from the utility room in the house where the router will be located.
I can get inside the house (via conduit) for the first 50 feet but will well short of the utility room.
So, the 75 foot cable for the kit will not work in this scenario.
I have extra (un-committed) Cat5 cables running from the pole into the utility room.
Here is question #1: Is the Starlink cable compatible with Cat5?
Question #2: Can I cut the Starlink cable and connect it to the Cat5 and then reconnect the Starlink cable on the other end of the Cat5 line - near the location of the router?
In other words, can I add 75 feet of Cat5 line in the middle of a Starlink &75') cable and it would still work?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Terry
Has anyone tried to connect two starlink cables together using their Ethernet adapter - use a short cat 6 to connect the two without having to splice, etc
thanks
It isnt hard to standardize it with the right pin config from one of these McCown 800-GIGE-POE. ISP Supplies is a good source for that. Or a dishypowa that is pre set just for it. And use a REOLINK Power Adapter, 52V 2.88A found on amazon to power it.
Ukraine need starlinks
Greetings everyone,
We are just switching over to the Starlink system (in progress) and the best location for the dish has turned out to be a clearing approximately 270 feet from where the modem will be located in the house. My question then is about appropriate cable length, connections and such. What to use/where to buy? I can do it but am wondering about the "factory vs aftermarket" materials. We are located on the coast of BC. appreciate any advice,
Thanks
Steve
Hello everyone. I suggest you check out this web site. My company sells and deploys this tech all over the place where needs for extra long POE, and data runs are needed. If you think this might work for extended runs, let’s give it a try. This is commercial grade gear. I think should be affordable for this application (if it would work). Engineers, let me know what you think.

I ended up putting the router and ethernet adapter in a drywall bucket halfway to the dishy. I ran an AC extension cord and a Cat6 cable to the bucket as well. The Cat6 cable connects to the Asus RT- AX3000 router in my home network. This is a temporary move while waiting for my 150 ft cable from Starlink. It works fine.
Along this same note:
Has anyone thought of/tried cutting the supplied "proprietary ended" cable and connecting it back together with couplers and cat6 cable??
Just got my Gen2 in and setup this weekend. Where I want to put the dish and where I need the router to be, I already have cat6 wire. I was wondering if I could cut the cable that came with it and couple it back together instead of trying to feed it through a wall, a ceiling, an attic and another wall. I have cat6 already run from the attic space to where the router needs to be and it would be SOOO much easier if I could do that.
Has anyone tried this yet with the Gen2?
Thanks for any input!!
Nice, you will be very happy that is a good router. your most welcome.
