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.

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....................................

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!

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.

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.

@@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! 👍🏻

Just use a TP-Link PoE switch. Then you can power both the OC200 controller and the EAP-225 with that [gigabit port] switch. TP-Link has multiple PoE switches available, both managed and un-managed. No need for the injectors, except for the meshed one. Your wiring in this video running the one EAP off the OC200, is automatically limiting the network capabilities of the EAP225 to the 100Mb port on the OC200. And then you point out that the lower speed test results are due to the controller - yes, in the way you did it. You are mis-informing people by doing this. The OC-200 is not a router and there is no need to wire like you did. You would have just as fast results like you showed via the Starlink router. Your speed test results are widely varying due to the fact in your backyard, you are most likely bouncing between the wired EAP225 and the meshed unit. And then the fact that the meshed one is connecting wirelessly through the network port limited one, you are killing the overall potential of the system and not providing a valid result.

That would not have limited you to the 100Mbps if you move the cable going from your controller to your injector. With how you have it wired it is passing the data from the access point through the controller. You should have the LAN side of that injector plugged into the switch. Then connect your controller to the switch also. It would have been and additional couple of sets in the set up. Looking at the switch you had it was not Omada and did not have POE. I would have went ahead with where you were at and went all in on Omada so it could all be integrated. Just letting you know there is a way to connect this that would not have capped you at the speed of the controller but would of been some additional steps in the initial set up.

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

Hello dear I am a new owner of starlink connection and a gen 1 router. Your videos were very helpful as I was amazed when I received my gen 1 router with only one LAN port. Now about my problem and what I have concluded. I have set up a network more or less like yours in your video but with an Omada ER605 Gigabit Router to have a failover or load balancing with my landline connection. I have run many speed tests to my network. Anything except from mobile phones get a speed from 12-20 Mbps up and down, even my laptop directly connected to the Wi-Fi of startink modem. When I connect a mobile phone on the startink Wi-Fi it gets 250 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. I have contacted starlink support for an explanation but I think it's obvious but it's trolling the connection when something that is not mobile phone connects on the network. I have tried different setups even with ubiquity USG, with of without the Starlink router even cloning the mac from a phone. Nothing works. So any ideas??? Please help or at least exposure this issue.

Just an FYI, you don't need to pull the connection through the cloud controller for your main access point. You are right about the bottleneck of 100mbps going to the cloud controller. However, this only holds true if your main access point is connected through the cloud controller. The controller will still manage all access points if you connect the controller to the switch and the main access point to the switch (not the controller) that way, the data can travel from the Starlink connection directly to your main access point. The reason the OC200 is 100mbit is because it does not need to be fast to manage a few access points since no internet data should flow through it. The OC300 is rated at gigabit speeds because it is made to handle a lot more access points, e.g in a hotel.

Thanks for the great info. Question though..... I purchased all of your recommended equipment including a new TP-Link AX1100 router, the OC300 controller, TL-SG108S Switch, and 2 AC1200 Access Points. When I set up the outdoor access points I basically just copied what you did, so they are called Starlink Mesh. What do I name the SSID for the AX100? Or does it matter? Do I also name is Starlink Mesh with the same password? I want the AX1100 to be a part of the mesh system obviously, it will handle the interior of the main home. While the outdoor access points will handle the pool deck as well as the woodshop building approx 100" away (line of sight). Basically I just want to wander around the property and seamlessly move to the strongest WiFi signal.
