@plaxdan is not sure if my comment posted as I can't see it, but here's what I said. I bought the Nanobeams from B&H photo and the Uap-acm pro straight from Ubiquity. Replaced my beams a few months ago with Uap-acm mesh units as they work just as well in a 3-way link. I plan on purchasing U6 mesh units soon to replace the Uap-acm mesh units and possibly 60Ghz radios. Over kill yes but it pairs nicely with my 2.5Gbps fiber. I am scheduled to have it installed
It just depends on what kind of speeds you are getting off of your Starlink system (we average 80mbps download and 10mbps upload) as each M2 you hookup will have some draw on your overall speeds. If you aren’t doing anything to heavy (online gaming, video conferencing) at all times on your network a couple of M2s shouldn’t be an issue. We have had many devices running on the Starlink system all at the same time (4K video, web surfing, etc) without a hiccup. Keep in mind that the M2s have to be hardwired to your router (Ethernet adapter) or to a switch connected to the system as they are not wireless off of the routers Wi-Fi signals.
I recently moved and needed to bring my starlink for work. I came back home put my router and dish in the same spots as before i moved and now my signal range is only about 38% and thats not going as far away as i can actually go from the router in my house. Before i never had this issue i had great internet anywhere in the house anybody got an idea on how i can fix this?
Do you have a video on how the process of setting this up goes? I have Starlink and want to push my signal to a garage about 50 ft away. I have a ubiquity M2 and now I’m lost! 😅 how do they connect?
Hi Amy, They can be a bit complicated to program 😬 Do you have one m2 or two (one for both sides)? If just using one you can extend the wireless signal to connect on a device (iPhone,tablet,laptop,etc) in your garage which usually works well for shorter distances like what you’ve described, or with a 2nd one you can have them setup to communicate with each other and put a 2nd wireless router inside the garage. We unfortunately don’t have any videos on programming the M2’s but I can leave you a link for another RUclips video based on your answer :)
@@AllMediaServices1 I'll take the link. I have 2 m2 coming in. I have starlink at one house and need to use the 2 to connect starklink at the 2nd home no to far away. How do I connect the 2
Hey, you bet! You can jump ahead passed the unboxing in the video. The setup starts after 10 minutes or so. Try this link out and let me know how it goes (credit to Crosstalk Solutions): ruclips.net/video/hrEEOV5oA8Y/видео.html

Hello Jim, thank you for commenting! I'm not sure how much detailed to break it down to for you. We're going to be making a video on the full set-up of an M2 booster in the near future. They're a little complicated to say the least. For now I can describe the set-up as such, the Starlink router AUX port is connected to a 5 port network switch(most network switches will work) this help's give us more LAN connections. From the network switch it is fed to the M2's PoE switch which then has a cable that runs up to the booster. All cabling is Cat5e. There is no set-up involved on the Starlink side or even the network switch, the only set-up is needed in the M2 which has some online instructions to follow, or check out crosstalk solutions on RUclips for an easy set-up video. They're a little intimidating when you log into there GUI, but most of the features listed do not need to be adjusted. I hope soon to have a video on setting up these little guy's as a lot of people have questions in regards to them. Thank you!
@@jimrowden7693 You may use any wireless router as a switch plus access point. Just turn off the DHCP function in the extra router, and connect it to the Starlink router by using the LAN ports, and *not* WAN. In order to reach the second router, you should give it a static IP in the same range as the Starlink router. If Starlink uses 192.168.100.1, you can give the second router 192.168.100.200 as fixed IP. Then you can connect it and change e.g. wireless settings anytime. That second router is now just a switch, so no firewall, NAT or other stuff to mess up. Port forwarding or UPNP is done in the Starlink router.
I do want to mention it appears you are using a m2 loco. Not always do 2.4ghz devices go further than 5ghz. My nanostation m5 can go up to 1 mile (line of site) connected to my cell phone over wifi. The m5 has higher gain and output power than the m2. Plus there is also significant congestion on 2.4ghz.
Hello Vaultec, absolutely they're many options much better then the M2 we've used. The 2.4Ghz network does suffer more from interference as well, so if possible and it's in the budget 5gz is the way to go. We purposely put the M2 in here so we could run test on EZVIZ wireless cameras, they only run on the 2.4Ghz bandwidth. The M2 is cheap and pushed the network bandwidth perfectly giving us the ability to set-up wireless IP-cams hundreds of feet away. Ideally though we would want to run everything on 5Ghz, being a more dedicated bandwidth and allowing faster speeds, but for the price point we're looking for this has been the best option so far. Do you run wireless cameras on your 5G network? If so what kind and how well do they perform? We've run Ubiquiti G4 and G3's in a P2P system using M5's and it works really good. But the cost for a 2nd point and the Ubiquiti cams tends to push the price point very high for the average consumer. the EZVIZ set up is roughly 1/4 the cost and works just as well with more features like alarms and 2 way talking. Just curious to see what you have played around with on your network Thank you for the comment.
If no bandwidth is being used on the other side of the link it will affect it very little. If the internet is being used on the other side of the link you will see a drop in speeds from the main router (depending on how many devices connected). Speed tests are not always completely accurate, I like to run 4K RUclips videos on multiple devices from the main router and through the link to see if there are any hiccups in sharing the bandwidth. Starlink is pretty robust though and can handle many connected devices.
@AllMediaServices1 hey thanks for the response! The intention is for regular use at the other location. (It's an office I have and online streaming/ meeting etc will be carried out). Is that what you mean by bandwidth use? I'm just looking at all possibilities to ensure the facilities and functions from the main router isn't compromised. By the sounds of it, it sounds negligible.
Hello Emmanuel Meyer Meyer, your Eufy system should work just fine as it uses UpnP. I haven't directly set-up a Eufy system but from what I gathered from Googling it was there a very compatible system and easy to set-up like a Nest, Blink etc... the only issue you might have is if you do need to open ports on the Starlink router, of which you can't. But UpnP (Universal Plug and Play) is what automatically set's up your ports on your router making it much easier to hook up. If your Eufy system does have issues with the Starlink router you can always use your existing router or go get a new one that does allow you to manually open ports, but my intuition is telling me you will be just fine with the Starlink router. We've hooked up Swann, Ezviz, Hikvision, Ubiquiti all on the Starlink network and all of them worked just fine, Thank you for the question.
Yes definitely, this is what we did with our Ezviz cameras. The big challenge will be testing the distance, you might not make the full 500 ft if the signals have obstructions...that is a long distance and the further out you go the less bandwidth you have to stream video from the camera.
Thanks for the video. Was looking for a way to push the SL WIFI out to my barn where my RV is parked about 450 ft line of sight. That way I can hide out in there and watch football when the natives are restless... It currently will pick up the SL stock mesh WIFI that I stuck in the window upstairs.but very sketchy if I leave the door open.. LOL
You’re welcome! Haha ya that’s a pretty good distance to pick up Wi-Fi off the SL router. You can buy the Ubiquiti m2 and m5s pre programmed as well so you don’t have to do it yourself. Unless you are somewhat techy 💪🏻
being looks like your living in a city or town with so many homes and paved roads, i dont know why you would put out so much money for the starlink hardware and the huge monthy fees, when fiber is every were in citys town and semi rule areas, at far less per month and no paying for there hardware

This, of course, has nothing to do with Starlink. Repeaters and boosters really don't care what wifi router or access point they are connected to as long as they are configured correctly.
This is mostly true but there is usually some set-up involved hence making people question there functionality with Starlink. Networkers and Techies find these things easy to figure out, but the everyday users may not have the same understanding and thus like to see the product in action. Thank you for the comment I hope you enjoyed:)
@@AllMediaServices1 Sorry for perhaps a poor choice of words. My point was that you can plug StarLink into the WAN port of any network device, be it a router, switch, booster, etc., and it should work fine. I help a lot of folks who tend to make these things more complicated and overthink thing.more than they need to. The more confusing part of adding a Ubiquiti booster to any system is the Ubiquiti part itself, in my experience.
