Hello Matt, good to see your Starlink is working for you. I am still waiting to see if I want it or not. Seems I have enough electronic things in my cabin. I would have thought you would be watching John in Alaska, lol.
I'd already watched all of your videos though! With that cell tower so close to you I'd just stick with that if it were me. The Starlink would be a big power draw for you for sure.
Awesome set up, Matt! You have some speed with Starlink! I'm running 44.9/51.9 with Copper Valley this evening, but I am getting what I pay for, so I'm not complaining lol. That area sure is pretty!
it's ok now, but when it's 115 degrees out that way later in the summer it's less pretty lol. Utah is so interesting, there's such a variety of terrain here.
The new dish is interesting but those Ethernet ports are AWESOME. I wish mine had some. I'm going to have to get the adapter like you had. Also, love that your truck still have the Alaska plates, hope you can make it back up here in good time :)
Yeah, still can't believe they removed the port from the Gen 2 router. This one is Wifi 6 and both my Macbook and my gaming PC have Wifi 6, so I may not ever use them except to plug in the Synology NAS, we'll see. I hope to be back in Alaska soon for sure!
I've never spent much time in the mountains down that way, if I do a van or a trailer I would love to. But also I'd want to spend summers in Alaska too so it'll be hard to choose!
We just picked up a Starlink. Hopefully we get those same speeds. The best part about this was you were pulling in more solar than the Stalink was using.
Yeah I was happy to see that. If I was going to use this type of setup full time I'd get another panel and a different power station that can handle more solar input though. But for camping and shorter trips this will work fine, especially if I have a gas generator as backup just in case.
