Interesting with those speeds im tempted to get it just to stick it to my ISP. Like many people with 1 available option, competition is good! Probably for you its best just to keep it as a backup and enable as needed.
@@obsesivegamer yeah I totally agree. Over time I noticed the main big differentiator for me is upload speed. I think eventually they’ll get that much faster though.
Great job! I just bought a starlink standard home system. I did this because the AT&T went down due to constructions issues. The system was down for 3 days. That meant that all of my security cameras stopped working all of my smart devices stopped working. (On a side note, just finished installing my solar system.) So, with the Starlink I will have the redundancy built in. I have that with my solar system. I like you will still keep the AT&T due to the low cost of$65.00 per month unlimited. But for the emergency situation I have the peace of mind that I can go through the starlike system to keep my home running as though nothing had happened to AT&T. BUT if starlink lowers their monthly price and AT&T raises theirs well that's a no brainer. I like the idea of using your EV to power your home in an emergency. Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing your next video.
@@JohnMontgomery-hg8hy thanks John! Cool! Yeah Starlink is awesome to have as a backup. It gives me peace of mind now that I don’t have to rely on AT&T entirely.
I live back in hills of WV and have been wanting to try starlink but I'm worried about how it works when a few feet of snow has covered everything 6:24
The speeds you quote here are decent compared to what Australian ISPs offer (AU$109 for 780Mbps through fibre versus AU$139 per month for Starlink. I’ve got CAT6 throughout our home as well so thanks for the run-through. It’s AU$80 a month for roaming starlink (50GB data) which would be handy for the remote trips we often do. If weather coverage impacts performance, I’d be curious to know
@@mipmapp5207 the super heavy rain caused intermittent signal loss, but high winds didn’t seem to affect it. Note: where I live has the most thunderstorms and tornadoes in the US; very high speed winds are normal
Bypass mode is for when your using a cat5 Ethernet adapter accessory from starlink, the whole purpose of bypass mode is to shut down the WiFi radios... So... Ya... It's supposed to no longer run your mesh... The router is also the WiFi radio and the power supply... With the StarLink mini, the WiFi is built into the dish.
No that’s incorrect, the whole purpose of bypass mode is to shut down the Starlink router and hand off the routing job to your own 3rd party routers which are the mesh routers in my case. Bypass is a common feature on routers; I use it on my main ISP’s router successfully but Starlink wouldn’t do it. Ethernet adapter is not needed on gen 3 Starlink router as it has Ethernet ports built in. www.starlink.com/support/article/a0fe8d51-32f7-d2b9-d74a-801e31ad9f6a#:~:text=Bypass%20mode%20allows%20you%20turn,party%20router%20directly%20to%20Starlink.
Hard to believe anyone doesn't believe in Elon and his companies. He says ping is a focus and they will continue to get it lower...he games a lot so he cares about it lol. It was only 6 months ago he said 50 for ping was a good goal, now down to 30-40
@@syfx.usa. yeah I know, I was using the mesh router system as a router and it would not work. Only after it failing to work multiple times did I switch the mesh router system to access points.

It has a built-in heater on the dish to melt snow. There’s an option in the app “melt snow”

You would have to connect the tp link deco directly to the starlink instead of switch to starlink then to tp link if you want the bypass mode to work
@@adahabryan8226 thanks. I was afraid that could be the case but I didn’t want to leave a router in that closet lol.

If you go camping. Then Your house has no wifi for security cameras?
they offer a mobile dish you can add to your acct for 50 bucks
if you do bypass mode you need another router for your mesh ap to work.
