Hi new to the group. Does any one know if there is a loss of power going with the optional 150’ cable over the standard 75’ cable. I hate to drastically cut my power down useing it, but it will be better for me in the long run. I received my 2nd gen in early February and have been using the 75’ with it and have speeds of 150 to 30mbps . I hate to reduce my speed even lower. At the time of this post I was at 79 mbps if I’m reading the speed test right . I think the one in the green is what tells me my actual speed?? Forgive me I’m rather novice on all this but trying to learn. We still have are old internet service which was radio to radio, on a good day we could squeeze out 4 yes 4 mbps so even 30’s mbps is heaven sent . Buying the oled TV’s have finally paid off.
Please excuse this question if it’s all ready been asked .
Thanks so much for your time and consideration.

Hello Daniel and welcome to the group. There will be minimal difference between the 75’ and 150’ cables…you would need a special machine to detect the millisecond difference, so your good to put the 150 in place. I have a Gen 1 system that ran on a 300ft cat extension and never noticed any difference. As far as reading the speed test in the app, the blue circle is your full speed being delivered to the house, the green is the speed being delivered to that device…check out the article https://www.starlinkcommunityforums.com/post/understanding-the-starlink-app-speedtest-v2.
