Ah cool, do you know it the powercable for the mini and the standard dish are the same?
Maybe I’ll put this one up first and upgrade to the standard later, or maybe I’ll start with the standard right away if it means I have to run another wire to the roof…
different power cables, the standard uses an ethernet cable that does both power and internet
best move is to mount a pipe on the roof, then use the pipe mount for whichever dish you choose to attach to pipe
that will make it easier to upgrade the dish in the future since every dish they sell has a pipe mount available
Ah great tip! Ordered a regular sat-dish pipe mount right away.
I will be running the power and ethernet to the roof so, I guess that will make the upgrade easier down the road.
The website of Starlink isnt very clear about these kind of details... so thanks again for the advice!
okay, JFYI.... you won't need electric on the roof for the Starlink to operate.
The Starlink router they send to you has a port for the very very long cable that connects to the dish. The very long cable carries the power to the dish.
That's not to say you wouldn't benefit from having electric on your roof for some other reason.
From my understanding the Starlink mini always needs external power, it will not power over Ethernet.
Anyways, I did get the kit (so the dish and the router) but I would like to use my own unfi router and not the Starlink one…
Didin't know that about the Mini.
