What is the poe units you used?
To let you know Starlink just released Wi-Fi scanner on the Starlink app
Hi - the architecture diagram half way through shows two access points which seem to be mainly for outside. Whilst that's certainly useful the Starlink's own mesh system is primarily for inside. Is there a way to mix and match the two systems?
ok so in this configuration how is your Omada cloud controller getting power?
In this setup do we have to have something like the omada controller could we go straight to the poe injector to the primary access point? Thank you.
I have a degree in electrical engineering, and I've gotta tell you... you are an OUTSTANDING teacher! Thanks for the great content!
Blessings.
i agree. thanks for all your vids
Ditto, and ditto! Awesome explanation.
Nobody cares about your degrees. I have 300 properties….I engineered a money machine with a bs degree in finance.
You've outdone yourself here. This exactly what I've been scouring the intertubes looking for. Well done.
Wow. Truly appreciate that my friend. Glad this helped.
BTW just received my Starlink setup, working great! Waiting on Ethernet adapter and an eave mount. You already mapped out my network...
Joe Just wanted to say Thank You for your Videos. We’ve had extremely poor internet forever. Dial up, Hughes net, via sat, never getting the avertise speeds. Once we heard about Starlink we committed. While waiting for our turn I started searching for info on Starlink via RUclips. We found your channel. Been watching it ever since. Thank you very much.
BTW we are up and running with our own Starlink nowadays. It’s life changing.
Thank you
Great to hear! So glad you found value in my RUclips Starlink Playlist.. About 160+ videos there now which is crazy as the channel has a total over 900+ right now. Congrats on the service.. Like you, I found Starlink to be life changing.
Thank you for the video. Great timing!! I just got my Starlink and have been looking at these access points, I am just waiting on my Starlink Ethernet adapter to ship.
I took me about 2 mounts to get my Ethernet adapter. I didn’t know enough to order it when I put in my main order.
Thank you for taking the time to show incremental distance speed tests. My use case is almost identical and this helped a lot. Also would love to see a demo of this with the Starlink router replaced by a 3rd party router.
👍🏻
I have used TP Link for about 5 years with no issues and they are best bang for the buck.
Likewise Tim.
Great content! These kinds of videos are very usefull to put together on network ideas! thanks for taking the time and energy on making this video and posting. not sure if ill be using but for sure i will consider installing in the near future! you rock!
Really appreciate the positive feedback. It did take a while to put together but I thought people would get some use out of the information. Thanks again.
my in-laws just got their starlink setup and I was actually floored how poorly the included gen 2 router pushed the signal through the 2x4 wood walls. (1) wall and maybe 20ft gave us a reduction of 40% in down and up speeds. Luckily, they have (3) ORBI mesh routers from their previous internet service, so once we get the ethernet adapter, I'll be getting the mesh set up. Hopefully we can get the consistent 100+ down speeds over the entire house. If so, we will expand with an exterior one to get it over to our shop.
Great content, thanks JCristina!
Another subject... I still have my SRT101 that I bought in the early 70's.
Wow. Awesome camera. Love the quality.
Thanks for such a quick response, much appreciated 😊
Thank you for the awesome video Joseph. I have a remote lodge in Canada and just finished setting up my Starlink and mesh network. I am a dinosaur when it comes to tech stuff and your video made setting everything up easy and it’s all working perfectly. Thank you so much!
I’m so sad!!!!! Love to help.
Hi again Joseph. I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. I set up my mesh network EXACTLY how you showed in your video but have since added a few more AP’s. I’ve found that you can only “hop” from AP to AP a maximum of 3 times…my camp is 7 acres and has lots of trees. My main AP, wired to my OC300, is linked to 2 other APs which are linked to more farther away. I’m in a situation now where I can’t extend the mesh network any farther because I’m maxxed out on the number of hops I can do. I have a 5 port non managed switch that the the Starlink router and the OC300 is connected to. Here’s my question: Can I bypass the OC300 and manually connect another AP, thru a PoE, to the 5 port non managed switch? Thanks in advance!
@@stumper2134 I’m just wondering but I am a novice with this but could we not buy a POE managed switcher? Have the Starlink connect to that in port 1 and then have our primary access point connect directly to the Poe managed switch?
We then wouldn’t need the Poe injectors or OC200 or 300?
Is this possible??
Great Video! Thanks for making this!
Thank you!!
Thank you for this. I'm currently working out the network strategy for our 23 acre homestead.
This should work. Maybe a few solar powered APs. I got 350ft line of site so I would have placed another unit right were I was standing and clover the next 300 ft to the back. You have just under 4 times the size of property so figure out you locations and simply add more anytime you find a dead zone. 👍🏻 glad your here.
Great video just did the installation and everything went smoothly no problems. Thank you
I am currently waiting for my starlink to ship so this video has been a massive help to me. Thanks.
This sold me on getting starlink and setting up a mesh communication
I am absolutely clueless on how to mesh my system as we live in an all steel home. It is a big house, and to date have wasted so much money on stuff that doesn’t work. So happy to have found your channel but still no clue as to what I am doing,lol. I wish we had capable tech people in my city! Keep up the great info!!!! Thanks so much!
Thanks for being here Peggy. A metal stud or sided build is not easy but using enough Access Point would do the trick. You want to get the primary AP into the center of the build if possible and then spread like a spider web in every direct. I’ll keep cover this stuff as long as people are interested. 👍🏻🍵
@@jcristina can you recommend one ? We have an all steel home, steel studs, etc. a large sized home, over 4000 sq ft, security cams outside in several locations. Currently using local internet with Suddelink(horrible) until we get kinks our of Starlink set up. Using a modem with a Grypon mesh set up and a lot of Wi-Fi use due to non-working cable tv, metal issues again, so we use fire sticks and streaming. We have 2 unmanaged switches so several areas are Ethernet for better signal. It is impossible to find capable service techs here so I have had to rely on info I could find and do it myself. I fail to understand the Starlink so far. Great speed from modem to my iPad/phone, but less that 3/4 from internet to modem when running a speed test. Any help is much appreciated. I am open to redoing everything if given proper information. Have a blessed evening, Peggy
I've installed thousands of the TP link products including the ones you show. Some models are definitely more reliable and better performing than others. They have most economical mesh systems on the market with their 3 unit Deco available for as little as $99.95.
110%
the 3 Unit Deco isn't outdoor rated. Just add the EAP110-Outoor and use the Deco setup in the home?
according to TP-Link, none of the Deco mesh networks have the ability to add any of the outdoor AP's to them to make it a total mesh design.
Thank you very much this was a life saver was having major issues running my starlink with another router. I watched this ordered everything you had it works amazing cleared all my connection issues with smart home devices . I now have everything working great and great wifi signal
Thank you for being here.
Thank you soooo much for this video. Good job. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
I appreciate your knowledge and instructional abilities!
Thank you for the amazing manner in which you teach.
If my college professors had been half as effective as you, I and thousands of others, would have been straight “A” students!
Your channel is an outstanding learning resource and Starlink needs to collaborate with you!! They are missing a fantastic opportunity to further their goals by not including you in their organization at some level.
From your mouth to the Gods hear. I truly appreciate you positive feedback. Many blessing to you and your family.
About the nicest thing that anyone has said to me over the many years of doing the show. Thanks again.
This was so great! Thank you. We have Starlink enroute to us after a 7 month wait. Three remote buildings to connect on the property. This is perfect and not something I would have attempted without your guidance. I will likely have an additional antennae than your demo system did. I'm assuming you can add more. Many thanks!
So glad it helped. Thank you for being here.
Hey awesome video! Looking to get wifi and cameras out to our lean-to for a foal coming in spring. Looks like this setup should work. Subscribed, liked, and shared... Great step by step video!
It should work for you. No problem. Thanks for being here.
Thanks!, I have been looking for this type of information for several months. You have helped me out a bunch.
Blessings. Thank you for your support!!!!!
I rarely comment on videos, but you are a step above most. great video!!!!!
I’m flattered and appreciate you taking the time to comment and simply you being here.
Appreciate you, brother, you go right to the point and keep things simple and clear.
Appreciate you being here.
Outstanding teacher. Even showing us the cables. Thx from Holland.
This is a fantastic video, clear explanations and easy to follow! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻🍵
Great video. Very helpful!! Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Great information! Much appreciated!!
You bet!
Thanks for all the videos on starlink
You bet.. Thank you Jamie for being here!
Great vid…gives me the confidence to do it myself.
Thank so much and I’m glad I could help.
Thank-You Very LARGE, I'm Just Getting Started, I Learned A LOT Today!
Thank you!!!
JC, thanks for all you are doing. Two quick questions for when you get time to respond: 1) In your example build, you have data coming from the managed server to the hardware controller and then out to the POE Injector then the first Outdoor Access Point. I need to add two Indoor Access Points to my particular Mesh. How does the hardware controller see them? Is it wirelessly? 2) I also have an outbuilding like the example setup, however, I would like to put another Indoor Access Point in that outbuilding. What equipment change would I need on the receiving end? I'm not concerned about the signal being good at 300 ft., I just want to light up that building. Thanks in advance for the help.
I really can't express how great your videos are for the everyday user. You explain your thought process and the concepts clearly. Thank you for these videos
You are the reason I do this.. Thank you for taking the time Jake!
@@jcristina Of course. I plan on replicating this setup as I have Starlink and similar properties. Would I need more than one primary access point if I am looking to expand my mesh network into my basement and outside? Does the Starlink router connect to the inside secondary access point I would add to my basement or just the primary access point I designate? I see how your primary access point you put outside works in conjunction with secondry access point to your outbuilding but am wondering what is the most effective to go about additional access points to cover inside and outside.
Thank you for posting this. I am not a tech guy and I will watch this a few more times to try and better understand. I live on 10 acres. My goal is to be able to share the home internet in my barn workshop so I have Starlink internet for my non profit helping veterans with recreational therapy.
The barn is ~ 100ft from the house. I didn’t know outside access points were a thing so that will help a lot. I figure I will then have to learn how to transfer the Wi-Fi to the inside of the metal sided barn.
Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this!!!
Remember.. Have a access point at the house, then one LINE OF SIGHT as the barn.. They immediately on the other side of the bard wall, since it's metal, have another and you would be fine.
@@jcristina Thank you. I went to Best Buy and left annoyed because they 1. Couldn’t answer imho basic questions. 2. Didn’t have the equipment.
Not a wasted 2 hour round trip though. I was at least able to buy other things at surrounding stores, lol.
@@jcristina I do have another question if I may. Do the POE’s or AP’s have to be on the same electric meter? I have a different meter for the barn.
I have almost the same exact situation as you William Thompson. We have 40 acres here and our barn and workshop are about 150 feet from the house.
I love any new Starlink information that’s available.
I’m currently building an overland adventure vehicle (4X4 Off-Road capable RV) so I can’t wait until Starlink goes fully mobile & develops a vehicle mountable Starlink dish; both of which are supposedly rumored to be in the works at Starlink HQ.
Thanks again for making Starlink videos & for sharing your IP networking expertise.
Cheers 🥂- John
Thank so much John for being here. Hope they unlock the dish soon for you!!!
@@jcristina Thanks again Buddy 👍🏻
Premium starlink is useable anywhere if you have $500 a month to spend. I’m considering it since I live in a rural area and also spend a lot of time traveling in my RV. Multiple dish’s can use the same premium account. So one for the house one for the Van I’m thinking.
@@bash6519 Starlink Premium is only available in areas of the USA that are currently offering service as the entire USA has not been opened up nationwide yet.
No Starlink device has been made “fully mobile” yet, but this is expected to change at some point in the future.
Starlink Premium currently allows you to have unlimited Starlink Premium dishes on one account & Starlink Premium allows you to change the service address as often as you like, but Starlink Premium isn’t “fully mobile” at this time.
The standard Starlink account currently allows you to have up to three Starlink Dishes on your account & it allows you to change your service address too.
In the future, Starlink is planning on making its dishes “fully mobile” meaning that you can take your Starlink dish with you anywhere & at anytime without updating its service address.
Starlink is also planning on building a vehicle/vessel mounted “full motion” & “use in motion” satellite dish that will constantly track satellites as you drive down the road or cruise in your boat at sea or even use onboard aircraft in flight.
Starlink premium is really targeted at commercial & business users whom need more bandwidth than residential/standard customers need; think of dozens of users at once on a single dish.
It’s rumored that Starlink service could eventually get to 1 Gig per second of download speed, this level of service will be simply amazing & supposedly available to all users; not just Starlink premium customers.
Stay tuned as Starlink is about to get exciting! 👍🏻
Excellent tutorial! Just what I needed.
So just a note. My older Starlink router ( they replaced with another).. Previously told you they do not sell the ac power cord for the router. So with a little work and a dremmil I was able to fit a power cord. It powered up, but of course was not recognized by the Starlink app. finally after several reads on youtube, found out the mess system they sell you now is actually the same router, but has been reprogramed to act as a mess router. So if you have a 2nd Starlink router it would only be worth keeping if you wanted a spare in an emergency. My older one worked fine but threw a code saying there was some problem. I read another persons youtube where they did the same to him. Sent him another ethernet cable and router. They couldn't solve his slow speeds. Didn't work for him either. Slow speeds equal too many on the network. Starling finally told me that they can not do anything about the slow speeds until the build up their systems. We will see....................................
Hello, thanks for all you do! I started having issues with my Mesh router and Starlink so I switched everything to network using the TPlink switch you recommended. Love them. Today I got a direct lightning strike. It appears to have taken out everything in an AV cabinet and the switch in the homerun cabinet. All were on surge suppressors. So it must have come in through the network cable. Is there something you can recommend to address lightning to network cable? Sorry so long winded. Thks
Sir you earned my sub. Great explanation of how to create mesh network. Appreciate your time and effort.
Appreciate you for being here! Many blessings!
I’ve had to watch this several times and each time I’m grateful
However inside our house can’t even get complete coverage with this set up.
My Wifi 6 mesh network on my mountain property is excellent. Great content as always!!
Thank you.
Awesome channel! I truly appreciate your time and knowledge! This may have been asked and answered, my apologies if it has, my question is do I really need the hardware controller? Also any tips or tricks for setting this up with Eero Pro 6E and a bunch of 5th gen echo dots that also have eero?
Here is the complete list of items I have:
1) Starlink
2) TP-Link TL-SG1210MPE
3)Eero Pro 6E
4)Cat 6e cables
4) 5-6 5th gen echo dots.
Sub’d!! very informative video. I love it!
Thanks for being here.
thanks for all this info!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and instruction. I am awaiting my Starlink install in 4 days. I want to ensure that I have good coverage in my home, 1500 sq. ft., my attached deck and porch, and to my pier/boathouse that is approximately 150' away. I do have line of sight that I can mount the two AP's. The thing that was not clear is where did you PoE cable at your 2nd. location receive it's power from the building? Did you have to run cable underground from your network inside to the building?
Your videos are excellent will “hopefully” be finally receiving my dish this week. Been watching you on Roku which unfortunately doesn’t support the drop down descriptions. That being said you talked about a recommended small UPS. Looking for recommendation, my installation is a small beach house, once I am up and running I intend to supply feed to my nearby neighbors, don’t really want to go full mesh as I am not as spry enough to run wire in the attic. Are there wireless options? Small lots so maybe I don’t need anything..Thanks in advance!,
Great video! Very eager to replicate this setup with our new Starlink equipment!
Have fun! It works really well!
I will post an update after I get it all in place. Very much appreciate the wisdom that you shared!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! All went smoothly, until I tried to add the TP-Link EAP265 HD | Omada Enterprise AC1750 Gigabit Wireless Access Point along with the other two outdoor EAP225's through the Omada Controller. Apparently it does not support the EAP265?
Would of been nice if when you talk about different hardware in your setup, you would show a thumbnail of what it is your talking about, as IP Address's/MAC id's on your phone doesn't show what hardware your currently on in adding.
The attention to detail though is pretty solid .
Thank you again for this. I am working on setting this up and have ordered what I needed. I realized I was missing the POE injectors. Which ones do you suggest? Also, I noticed you have the five-port and 8 port switches. Is there a reason you are using two of them? I believe I only need the 8-port one.
Hi, once again, great video! I am now building my order. There is controversy in the Q&A on Amazon as to whether you have to buy the injector separately. "What's in the box" is worded poorly, so I can't tell. Looks like it may be a power supply only. Do the current shipping versions of the outdoor antenna's you recommend come with injectors? If not, could you spoon feed me the injector you are using so I can order it exactly? I'm using your links to buy. Hopefully, you get a little back.
hi there great instructional video. question how does the second access point connect to the network if it only has a cable for power? and how many of these ap's are supported? I have ten acres.
thanks,.
Awesome video. I have Gen 1 and this is perfect for me. Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Thank you very much for this video. So helpful. Question. We live on acreage and the shed is a good distance from the house and being metal not great with just the outdoor ips that are mounted on the house as it’s to far. We do have cat 6 ran in a conduct from the house to the shed. Is it possible to have a mesh setup in and outside of the house and then a router at the shed ran from the switch in the house to get the signal to the shed better? Or would I just need another switch at the shed then a mesh network from that? Or just an AP that I can wire from the switch in the house to the shed? Sorry for all the questions just trying to get the easiest solution possible.
It seems this video has been around for some time, which makes me a late comer. Notwithstanding, I have followed your instructions and set up the mesh network you describe so well. I happy to say, it worked for me. On the subject, I have a question which perhaps/hopefully you will answer: can you connect more than one primary access point. If so, please confirm that the procedure is the same as with the one on your video. Thanks
Excellent presentations-thank you. I am also interested in the mesh unit now being offered by Starlink and it's performance compared to other access points.
Thank you.
Great video! What’s the max distance between primary access point 1 and 2? I have 2 buildings about 100’ apart.
This video is amazing! My single critique would be to mention that you need to buy the POE cables as well since they do not come included with any of the products described.
The EAS225 come with POE injector and power cables. CAT cable are of course on you to get the length you need. I personally ally love making my own ca me to the exact length. . Thank so much.
Great video! But i didnt get poe injectors. If I have corded power to my access points do I need the injectors? And if I have 2 ap’s do they both feed out of the 5 port switch?
You are the bomb! Thank you so much.
Awesome video with some great info - Thank you for putting it together! Sadly I'm still waiting for my Ethernet Adapter, ordered same day as my kit and they just updated my expected shipping date back another 2 to 3 weeks! I might see it by the first week of April maybe - LoL. I have an Asus WiFi 6 AI mesh router just sitting there, it is so frustrating! Same order has my short wall mount in it as well, so I've recycled an old Dish Network J arm mount to get it mounted and may not end up using the actual mount if and when it finally arrives.
Thank you for being here. You’ll be all set as soon as it arrive. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 sooner than later.
It took me a minute to figure out that the POE injector box has A/C power cord. It's not on your diagram. It may seem obvious, but I've never touched this before, so figuring out I need an A/C outlet nearby. I was wondering where it was getting the juice from on the secondary antenna.
Update: I installed a Mesh network with two 225's and it works great. I installed one at opposite corners of my house. I now have wifi out to about 300 feet around my house. Install was exactly as you described. The Omeda OC200 doesn't come with it's own power cord so I used one of the mini USB power adapters I had on hand. Otherwise it needed it's own POE injector to have power. The OC300 has it's own power cord. Thanks
Thank you, great video
Thank you.
Awesome video very helpful I was able to fully understand how to complete this setup and I’ve never messed with this type of equipment. One question I do have is how far can I go with an AP my front gate is about 650 ft from my house I would like to set up Wi-Fi cameras at that gate
Too far. You will need one half way, at least.
Excellent video, I wanna get internet to my mother n laws house next to us, she’s 51 yards away I ranged it, this will definitely help me thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you
Ok that was a awesome video with using the starlink router I would like to see one without using the starlink router.I just have a few concerns.So let's say I want to extend wifi inside and not outside can I do that and also can it connect wifi 2.4 or 5ghz.Also is there a way to prioritize people on wifi without a lan cable.Thanks so much Cory
Very good!
Thank you.
Awesome Job! I respect your passion sir.
Blessings.
love your content. keep up the good work
Appreciate that!
so good, thank you
Thank you for being here.
Love the channel. Will running my Gen 2 Starlink Router and the new AX series Access Points from TP Link give me better results or should I just go with the AC series if not changing my router?? I'm just in the planning stage at this point.
great video... just got my new starlink and Ethernet port. i'm okay with the wireless but i need two hardwires ethernet connection. what is the best way to do that?
great information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Have had this setup running for a month. Yesterday my OC200 went offline. Not sure what happened, but I can’t setup the controller but the cloud access led won’t blink. I tried it with another ISP and was able to setup the controller with no issues. Starlink router still works and is providing internet. I don’t know if the Ethernet adapter is bad but some Starlink router is working I would assume not. Curious if you have had any issues.
Is it possible to do this just utilizing an EAP 225 without any other part of this build to simply extend outdoor range or are they needed?
I’m in a RV Resort/Park in Quartzsite, Arizona. The StarLink setup is about 250 feet away and I have been watching your videos to try to understand the best way to get a better WiFi signal in my travel trailer. If you will, please recommend what you think I should do, and what brand of product I should buy if not StarLink. Thanks! I hope you see my comment sooner rather than later.
so if I wanted indoor mesh as well as outdoor, would that simply be a matter of adding access points... and could i, or would I want any ore than one hard wired access point? if so would I add a switch between controller and AP#1?
good video... I attempted to use Asus xt8s, and it was quite cumbersome.
Hi, so, we set everything up and when we do our outdoor speed test on our Starlink app. we don’t have good speeds. I’m not at all tech savvy so I’m sure there are correct terms lol. How far apart does the wired EAP 225 have to be from the wireless EAP 225? They are connected but not good speed. Ours are currently about 125 ft apart. Thanks.
I just picked up all of this to do for my starlink. Thanks for the video Sir Cristina. Adapter should arrive this week to give it a go.
I was first going to try netgears powerline to see if I can make that work. If not I'm hedging my bets and going to set this up.
Powerline data is much better than year ago but I still like CAT or WiFi 6 Or even WiFi 6e AX when available. 👍🏻 love to hear how it goes for you.
@@jcristina I'll keep you posted. The goal is to have internet in a pole barn (my office for my service business) 200 ft from the house.
I had never heard of powerline products before. So I'm intrigued if it will work.
I know the setup you explained will work. So we shall see what I end up with. I like the idea of the outdoor access points. If I set enough up, I could have internet availability on the majority of my property.
@@jcristina Update.
Powerline connection was unsuccessful for me.
The omada oc300 the 8 port switch and two eap225's and I'm getting 150mbs down in my office.
Thank you for your video, and help. Not being network savvy, I would have been very lost without this video.
Thank you Sir Cristina.
can you do this using both T moble home internet and starlink to power as a back up or do you need different ap for each systems
Would it be better to use a wired back haul mesh system or wired AP's with Starlink to extend coverage in a large home?
Is there a way we can have a chat for setting this up I was wondering if on the secondary could I just plug that into a router to feed the signal into my shop
Huge Appreciation for your sharing the wisdom 🙌🏽
I have 4 separate cottages and studios on my property. Would I add 4 of the AP’s?? ( the white bars with antenna ears) ?
I would and then a WiFi to Ethernet converter I spoke about on the other side of each. 👍🏻🍵
Great video. I have the same TPlink router on my existing isp line and works well. My speed on a good day is 10/5 mbps. I also use TPlink power line adapters to get a connection in my shop about 150’ away. Just learning about mesh wifi. My Starlink adapter cable is on order and won’t be here until middle of April. I did have a question on your second outside access point and the Poe. What was the connection on the other end of the cable? I’m not familiar with the Poe adapters. I’m assuming the cable went thru the wall to the adapter then it’s powered somehow. Thanks again
PoE is simply Power Of Ethernet.. So it's a "normal" CAT 6 cable with data and power injected through it.
Wow what a great tutorial on this subject ,this helped me out considerably, question - if my old neighbor that's 100 feet away from my access point would he be able to get my wifi,very low income home ,I would love to help him out in this way
How do you get power to the second mesh that is the incoming data to the second building without running a wire from the router access point to the incoming mesh? Thank you for all your help like always you’re awesome.
POE
On starlink gen 2 do you hook up TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router 3- AX1500 Mesh Routers straight from the ethernet adapter?
In simple words you are amazing!!! Although I didn’t understand all, I think a mesh network is what I need to get wifi for my house and dental clinic which are aprox 105 ft away from each other in the same terrain/property in a rural area of Guatemala.
Please help me set a mesh network 🙏🏻
Do the POe injectors come with the AP units? I don't see a link for injectors or cables. Is the data cable a basic network Cat cable? Thanks
Hi JC! Great videos. Your videos will provide amazing help towards me setting up my Starlink once it arrives.
I have one question; I have Linksys Velop Mesh 6 routers, 3 in total. Can I still do your setup with these routers with the Tp-link outdoor extenders and managed system?
Thank you!!
That's some beautiful property where you're at. I just got Starlink and I thank you for all the info you provide. Thanks man! One question, can the ap's be separately connected by hardwire? I need to mount it in at my shop along with security cams, then connect to my house via an ethernet bridge. If it can connect the second by wired, i'll create a vlan to back-haul data.
So very happy you got your Starlink! I know it can get discouraging when it takes so long and also having to wait to order the accessories that you need and then wait again for those to arrive!
Great video!!! Wondering if you would do something on what battery backup devices are available (UPS maybe); meaning for power outages that would work for an area that frequently have them from time to time?
I will do that.
Can you do a Video on how to add UniFI Network as well? I have two UNIFI AP's and now a POE switch and I having trouble getting it to work with my new Starlink network.
I feel you should let us that are screwed with 2nd Gen know it's hopless before we watch half of more than one of your videos lol I really appreciate your videos and will be back when I'm not stuck without an adapter or alternative
Question, just to be clear can a mesh Wi-Fi Netwerk be set up to the Starlink router without having to place the router in bypass mode?
Boomshakalaka This video is greatly appreciated Thanks I live off-grid in Payette national forest and this video helped so much. Semper Fi any jarheads out there in JChristina land.
Semper Fi Blessings Tim!
Thank you so much for this amazing and clear video!
A question: I have to connect 2 APs via cable as 1 is outside while the 2nd is inside an house with 1m walls (the second can't see the first via Wifi). Can I plug the OC 200 back to the switch (instead of to the first AP) and connect both APs directly to the switch via cables?
Honestly. That is a great question. I don’t see why not. Hopefully the OC200 would see both units an allow you to adopt one as primary. The issue I have is if AP(1) and AP(2) will speak to each other over LAN instead of WiFi. My best guest is yes, they would and a cheap gigabit switch linking the two together would work.
