Kelly, I have a Gen2 rectangle dish. I need to do something like your diagram, but from a dam, not from a dock. But, I can also put the router under a shed. The Gen2 doesn't have the separate power pack. I have the ethernet adapter. I am thinking of running Cat 6 from there about 170 feet to the house. So, I gather that I will have to disable the Starlink wifi and run the ethernet to a switch and wifi router in the house. Is that the case and will this setup work?
Also, I am uncomfortable leaving the cable from the dish to the router just laying on the ground, exposed to varmints, mowers, and all kinds of attacks. Starlink FAQ says that its cable is not designed for burying. Are others using conduit, or just leaving it exposed? Thanks.
