I have Starlink, and love it, I have had it for almost two years with no issues. I have the standard model and pay 110 a month. I am not sure why you could not use it at both places. It may seem a little big but I think it would be very portable depending your set up. I think I would buy two cable runs, one for each home, this way, you are only moving the satellite and the modem. You could then permanently install the cable run as you desire. Then its plug and play.
Good Luck |
Some good discussion. And I only understand half of what people are talking about which further confirms I know not what I am doing. LMAO

This was an option we had been thinking about doing...making the standard into more of a portable setup. So, if I get another cable, and another mounting bracket for the satelite (have a brack in both locations already setup)...then I am just moving the satelite and modem, as you said. Correct? Why would I not want to do this? Is it just because it is larger than the mini...? Thank you again all! |
On my set up, I did not use a house mount, I used the standard that came with the kit. I just put 4 screws in the legs and flat mounted on my roof. But depending on where you are setting up, and how high you would need to set it up, Due to trees or other obstacles. you may be able to mount it very low and easy access. This way you would not need to purchase an another mount. I attempted to copy a picture to show you, but I am not that savvy when it comes to computers, so I was not able to put it in here.
I do agree, I personally would use the standard kit in this manor, the only thing you may need to check, is due to it not being a portable unit, if Starlink has some rule against moving the bigger unit. |

Just my take on it. |

This throws me back into the “is the mini powerful enough for my primary residence?” And that’s where I am not sure. As I sit here, my wife is currently “working” on the computer (probably OF)….im streaming online. And both my boys are playing some dumbass online game. Not sure if the mini could handle that…. |

I read it…appreciate it…just don’t understand latency. Is there “something” I can purchase for that? Also…is there a router you would recommend? I would just leave the router home, right? Don’t think I would need it for the lake. |
Thank you!

Anything that requires a two-way connection - games, voice and video, stuff like that - requires lower latency.

Maybe some day I will start a "home internet how to" thread. There's a ton of us here that know this shit. We could compile it into a guide.

That is because the signal has to travel up to a satellite and then back down to earth. There isn't really anything you can do about that. |
For routers, I've had good luck with Tenda in the budget space. In the more expensive routers, I prefer Asus but I use custom firmware.
I would avoid Linksys and Netgear altogether. I used to beta test for them both and there's stuff in their code that is very concerning. |
