Hello. I’m looking at installing the Gen 2 dish on an existing pole that’s over 75 feet from where I need the wifi access point to be. Can someone help with ideas for the simplest way to get signal from the pole to inside the house?
I have a 150 ft cable on order but i’m now wondering if i can run it to an existing building (that has power), put the supplied router in that building and possibly throw the signal to the house wirelessly. is there a way to do this without dramatically loosing speed?
No worries, we just set-up an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC67P as a bridge on a Starlink network and it covered 100 Ft no problem. You have to plug it into a computer to set-up, it cannot be done through the app as you won't have any internet connection until it's bridged to your Starlink. Once you go through the steps you select the router to be a repeater...and follow the prompts. This also will give you some hardwire connections as well from the back of the router, nice little extra bonus!
I really appreciate the advice and direction on this. Thank you.
Hello Corey, welcome to the community! Well there are certainly options for you to do this. Since you have power in a building 75ft away, that distance is very close. Depending on how much interference you have between that 75ft distance you might be able to just get a great router and and bridge the high end router to the Starlink. You will get some loss but a high-end bridging router will help negate a lot of the loss. If you have a lot of interference within that 75ft then you can set up links, they will easily cover that distance with minimal loss, but there pricey and require a lot of set-up. I would definitely be trying a high-end router as the first option.
