Do you have a low power wifi router you would recommend that pairs well with this Starlink Mini? Our application is mountains with fair amount of tree cover. So, we'd set this up in a clearing, perhaps on a tripod, run the cable back to a box with a power station and this router to broadcast back to camp, 30-50 feet or so? thanks

@trustbuster23 24 дня назад

They could sell a ton of these to people who already have terrestrial broadband and don't ordinarily need Starlink, but just want this when traveling or as a backup to their primary internet provider. If they packaged it as basically buy the hardware, then let me buy 100 gigs of data to use whenever I needed it like a pre-paid phone plan, rather than charging a steep monthly fee, they could print money with this product. Basically, anybody working remotely who needs a backup plan to keep their internet up when there is no cell service or local internet available would buy one and stick it in the closet.

@bradley3549 24 дня назад

I agree! This is how I currently use my V1 dishy already, barely ever need it. I snagged the mini to use while camping this year but secretly hoping they come to their senses and create a better service plan than the current arragement.

That POE injector you tried is NOT a standard POE injector. That's a 24v Ubiquiti unit. Standard POE is 48v (+/-) and may well do the job.

@DozIT 23 дня назад

That looks like the Ubiquiti PoE+ adapter, not the 24v passive, but can’t know for sure. Either way the first gen dish uses PoE++ so I’d try that - though if the tech sheets don’t mention it, it likely does not support it.

@pchris6662 23 дня назад

There are a range of passive POE devices that can ask for 24 @1A up to 48v@2A and levels in between. If you can’t read a spec then don’t quote one and not all power injectors and passive devices are equal. Some do better negotiating than others and many devices are just hardwired to require or produce one flavor.

Agree with below....You should bot have used the Milwaukee battery (DC) to the Milwaukee Inverter (DC-> AC), then the Starlink A/C Wallwart (AC - > DC) to Starlink DC Barrel Jack. Just wire the battery DIRECTLY to the Dish (with a fuse of course). Much more efficient and less weight to carry.

@emmettturner9452 24 дня назад

Maybe he’s worried about the lack of a low voltage cut off to protect the battery from being over-discharged, damaging the cells. The battery will signal the Milwaukee inverter to cut off but the StarLink setup wouldn’t.

@markmonroe7330 24 дня назад

Exactly. There is a significant power loss with the inverter even when not powering stuff and then another loss with the Starlink adapter, Straight unregulated DC power will offer the longest run times.

This thing is a serious game changer for boondocking. Been running mine on a 100Ah LifePo4 battery now for ~24 hours and have used roughly 33Ah so far according to my Victron shunt. I've tried to determine if power consumption varied significantly with usage and so far inconclusive. Don't want to burn through my 50GB just yet! LOL. I agree with you that I expect the plan to get better and to offer stand alone in the future. I don't see any need for having two dishes even if the 'big' dish is considerably faster 100mbit is honestly enough for the terrestrial backup and camping use case I think many people have. What I'd like to see is maybe unlimited download while stationary and 50GB when mobile sort of plan. That would be perfect for most people like me I think.

we originally bought v3 to use as double duty to replace our at home internet and then take with us camping, but ran into a hang up having wifi cameras at home that wouldn't work if we took the internet with us. this checks every box to correctly solve that issue EXCEPT the data cap ! that's a hang up ill wait a few months to see if that changes. or let me leave the mini at home and toggle my standard dish to roam and I can take that one. but I tried to contact them and they advised that that currently shouldn't work but they didn't see sure either.

I would love if you could compare this to the big antenna. Same spot, running both at the same time to have the least differences as possible. Considering getting the 3rd gen or this Mini whenever it will be released in Europe, considering that they will sell the mini independently instead of an add-on. Objective is to mount on top of my van. If the speed difference and drop outs aren't too discrepant, I'd certainly prefer the mini.

@bradley3549 24 дня назад

I've been testing mine side by side with a V1 dish. So far, V1 dish IS faster in speed tests, but otherwise the experience has been indistinguishable between the two. As soon as Starlink lets me ditch the V1 dish and let's me just have the one mini I'm doing it.

If I remember correctly, the satellites bunch at the higher latitudes where they switch back in their elliptical orbits. So, you get better rates/access the more north or south you get from the equator. Also, the more users you have in a regional area, the more bandwidth is shared between the same number of satellites. Wonder if the rates are different in the south or around populated areas.

Excellent presentation. Thank you. I would be interested in seeing more details on the power draw and at what voltages. The 5521 will directly plug into many power banks. I wonder what kind of stable draw it has on this 12v? What is the voltage cutoff - will it still run at 11.5v? Lower? If you use a USB-C adapter - what kind of draw does it have then? What about at 30, 40, 50 or even 60 volts? I am always wondering about the peak watt usage especially with a USB-C adapter - many USB-C PD ports may only support 45watts - will the mini still work on this? A huge part of the attractiveness of the Mini will be the lower power draw and many folks, like myself, will be curious as to the DC power options, One thing many people forget or dont understand is that even if that little 120v Startlink adapter only uses 1-3 watts, the actual inverter itself will suck a lot of battery power even when not running stuff. You will use far less real world power if you can avoid powering up an inverter entirely and just use straight unregulated DC power when possible. Hence the desire to understand the watt usages are different voltages. I can actually see powering this directly off a very small 12v 10-20ah LiFePO4battery directly to the terminals - no conversion or regulators. I wonder at what voltage the Mini will stop work in this case. Thank you again.

You know you could just have powered the dish directly from the battery without the DC adaptor and likely had way more capacity, I bet it would double its run time.

@jfbeam 24 дня назад

DC to AC just to make it DC again... wasteful, but not "double".

@devonperry 17 дней назад

I don't know what the efficiency specs are for the AC inverter or the AC to DC adapter is but I would guess around 80% for the inverter and 90% for the AC-DC adapter. With these estimates, a 20W power draw from the Starlink equates to ~22W of power from the inverter and ~27.5W from the battery. Powering directly from the battery would give and additional run time of around 38%. When you take into account that the battery discharge vs current draw is not linear, you would probably get closer to 40% run time using the battery directly.

When you said you were going to run if off a battery, I didn't think that meant putting it through an inverter (18VDC to 110VAC) then plugging in their transformer (110VAC to whatever DC voltage).....when it could be run directly from the battery. It's not efficient and requires additional equipment to power it the way you did. The whole point (I would have thought) would be to run it from a motorbike battery or more likely a car battery for example in a 4WD dual battery setup, that would be making use of the fact it can be run from a DC source, or run if directly from the battery it would last longer.

@StephenSmith304 24 дня назад

Also whether the adapter was passive or active, usually the smaller Ubiquiti poe injectors like the one shown are passive 24V while the active ones are a bit bigger and are 48V and actually do poe negotiation. I've burned an ethernet port with the passive injector because it just sends 24V without negotiating but I think it's usually safe if you accidentally plug in a 24V passive into a 48V active device - I forget if its the same pinout but it usually just won't power on and you'll have to grumble and dig around for the real PoE 48V injector.

his adapter was likely poe+/at, but if the device is regularly drawing 50+w from AC then you would need a poe++/802.3bt system. PoE+/at is only good for 25w usable power, PoE++/bt is good for 50w. Although I highly doubt this device supports poe++ in the first place.

@@jrchurchman13 Actually you can see the label on the PoE injector in the video if you pause at 2:01 - it definitely says 24V, which is the passive injector. I have multiple Ubiquiti passive and active injectors and none of the active 48V injectors are even that slim. Passive PoE isn't part of the 802.3 PoE standards, which runs at 48V.

I kind of understand why the mini dish has data cap. If they're offer unlimited data on $30 plan, it'll severely impact their bigger dish and more expensive monthly plan

@kimmyksbro3116 3 дня назад

Starlink should have using usb C for the mini That would make it easier to use a powerbakn and solar panel Instead of the big power brick Power Specifications 100-240V ~ 2.5A 50 - 60 Hz

Another yt vid said you can't pause it. Not sure who is right

@scollora 24 дня назад

FYI, that was not a standard POE injector. It clearly says 24V and that's not the standard 48V POE injector. Generally, Ubiquiti APs use 24V, but just about everything else uses standard 802.3at (30W) or 802.af (15W) POE. You can get the injectors cheap.

Wow that is a very good catch, I have another one, non-mfg specific. I will try that and post an update here.

@SilverCymbal 24 дня назад

I just tested it with a generic POE switch and the dish still did not power up. Their specs don't indicate POE but I had hoped maybe it was an easter egg feature. Thanks for pointing this out, it was well worth verifying.

@raaah 24 дня назад

I think the POE works but we have to find out which POE standard it's using. For example some POE uses 24 volts some use 18 volts some use 54 volts that's probably why when you plugged it in it didn't work because the voltage you used is not correct.

@jfbeam 24 дня назад

All 802 standard PoE is 48VDC. There are the various non-standard systems (eg. Ubiquiti), but Starlink will never use one of those.

our first problem with Internet is the cost of the data itself not the coverage so they literally solved the least important problem and ignored the biggest one 🤦🏻‍♂️
