Crap..... so, Starlink is selling a roof ride mount that is not backward compatible? That seems odd. And, the description of compatibility on their website is not intuitive, which indicates it is compatible with the self-self-acuated disk, but is that gen 1, Gen 2, or only Gen 3? I sent a...

I have the Gen 2 Starlink dish and I just ordered the Gen 3 Roof Ridge Mount that works with the Gen 3 dish. I just assumed that the Gen 2 dish would work with the Gen 3 Ridge Mount or is that not correct?

I'm replacing my roof soon and was going to order the non-penetrating roof mount from the Starlink site, but when I click on the shopping tab it goes to a blank page. I have tried this a couple of times. Is Starlink not selling accessories through its website now? I see that Amazon and other...

My Starlink Square dish has mostly been working ok, but after replacing an Asus Zen Mesh router with an Eero 6E I am not getting the range to access the internet in an outdoor location about 200 feet from the house. The Asus gave enough signal strength to access the net but the Eero does not...

Yesterday we were out and my wife's iPhone received a notification and she was able to view the camera from a remote location.... mystery. Maybe it works sometimes and not others rather than just never.... more investigation to be done.

Thanks for the link to the CGNAT article. That helps to explain why I cannot access the camera from a remote location. Working on it.....

Starlink, Asus Mesh, Wyze V3 Camera, No Remote Access... I have a rectangular dishy using the ethernet adapter connected to my Asus Mesh system. I did not put the SL router in bypass mode and things have been working fine. I bought a Wyze V3 cam to identify where some mouse are accessing a...

My first was an Osborne, a sewing machine like computer that was pricey for the day and ran the CPM operating system.

THANKS! I reconnected at things are working again with a direct connection to th SL router. In the past I did not use bypass mode with my mesh system and everything worked fine. So, I'm going to try that again and plug the mesh into the ethernet adapter and hope things work as they did...

This morning I have no Starlink Internet connection and there is something unusual in my wifi settings, a network called "stinky." I first did a reset on the router (unplug 3 times) then tried to setup the router with network name and password, but it was not finding the SL router. I do have...

I ordered the SL short wall mount to relocate the dish to a higher point and more to the left only to discover that the fascia boards are aluminum and that does not seem feasible for an install. So, I am back to a roof mount. The non penetrating roof mounts concern me since we have occasional...

I have Dishy2 and have had the ethernet adapter installed about a month. The SL router is in a basement location that does not provide enough coverage for the entire house so I connect the ethernet adapter to an Asus mesh via the ethernet adapter/cable that is in a more central location. I did...

Thanks, ordered it today.

Ponytug: Thanks, very useful comments. The under-eave mount you are using may not be necessary since I can use one of the gable peaks for attaching the mount. The second, Weingard, mount looks like it would work, and the Starlink short wall mount would work on the two peaks facing in the front...

In general, I find the posts and comments/recommendations here more useful than those at Reddit or Facebook. So, I'm hoping for some wisdom from the experiences of others here....

In March when there was a bunch of snow on the roof, a fellow installed dish in the location shown in the attached image. There is a large oak tree with some branches that hand out in the path of the dish. Since the tree has leafed out we have experienced some buffering with YouTube TV that we...

With the ethernet adapter I now have good enough speeds (there are some obstructions) on the main floor of my house to consider dumping Dish Network and trying a service like YouTube Tv. Other than local channels we regularly watch only 4 other stations on Dish. It looks as if YouTube TV can...

I'm doing the same thing with no issues. The Starlink router is in the basement and when I am there in the workshop or riding my indoor bike trainer I use Starlink Router wifi and when on the main floor I use the ASUS AX mesh. It is working without any apparent issues.

"I did think of another way to check it. Connect the adapter like it is supposed to be, but don't plug anything in to the ethernet port and see if you can still connect to your starlink router." This is what I did initially when I applied power after hooking up the adapter, just to make sure I...

I lookfirst tried connecting directly to the Starlink router and then to my mesh router via the ethernet cable. I could connect to the router(s), but not to the internet. Yep, my app screen looked like the image you posted. I will try one more time in the morning. I did make sure the cables...

I tried to connect mine today. Unplugged everything then connected the ethernet adapter powered up and the system did not connect to the satellites. After 45 minutes I did a factory reset and that did not result in a connection. I have tried another factory reset with no success so I am...

What is the process for installing the ethernet adapter? Should I stow, unplug the unit, connect the adapter, then unstop, and replug the unit? Can I skip the stow process and just unplug and attach the adapter?

Thanks. The ethernet adapter is supposed to ship this week otherwise the wireless to ethernet adapter would be on my list. Good reminder about the SL app option to disable the SL router. Another person I know with Sl forgot to do this and was perplexed why they were having issues when they...

My Gen 2 router is in the basement until I can get a longer cable and the ethernet adapter. I get fine speeds (50-200) in the basement adjacent to the router but on the main floor upstairs my speeds are rarely more than 20 down. There is a lot of metal ducting and floor that is compromising the...

Can the second generation router be placed in a sheltered place outdoors? Browsing the SL Reddit several folks report placing their router in a sheltered outdoor location. However, the specifications for the second generation router on the SL website are: Operating Temperature: -22°F to...

Exterior Wall Cable Pass Through / Removable? I'm getting a replacement dish and need to my recently received SL system. The initial installation was done by a satellie tv installer on a very cold and snowy day. He drilled a hole through the exterior wall, put the cable through and sealed it...

Seems logical. I posted the issue on that forum and there were multiple people, mostly in the west/southwest, who replied they had SL and had no issues in loading the website. I wonder if this is an issue with the new dishes/routers?

I can't access one particular website/forum that I frequent using Starlink. Every other website I have tried is no issue, but this one will never load. When I switch back to my DSL connection no problem loading that website. Below is the result when I go into terminal mode and use...

After a year mine finally arrived a couple days ago. After some confusion with the location app, I found a less than idea spot, but it is up off the ground on the roof and working. I will probably have to take down an oak tree to make things better, but it is ok for now. Initial problem is...

Received notification of shipping today. Afterwards went outside and did a check of the general area where I hope to place the Dish and things look promising. The last time I used the siting app was early last summer and I found it underwhelming, but there must have been an update because it was...

I moved into a house that has been remodeled a few times. An awkard part of the house is the limited entry points from outside for cables and such for distribution to other parts of the house. In anticipation of Starlink, I ran ethernet cable from the main entry point to a closet where we...

I received notification this past week that Starlink is ready for me (northern Wisconsin. It has been over a year, but we are anxious to receive Dishy. I'm likely to have some obstruction issues, but I'm clueless about the details of accessing Starlink. My understanding is that it is wireless...

Looks as if the short term solution is to remove snow from the valleys-- there are two more also -- this winter. A neighbor came over with his roof rake before the snow melted and took as much down as he could reach and that worked ok. That is not a job I am interested in doing. I used my...

Not the best roof for snow/rain, but apparently this part of the house was the last of several remodel/additions. But for me, it is what it is and the issue is to find some workable solution. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

A couple of images might clarify my post, and yes checking the insulation is on the list of things to do as a long term solution. You can see there is a diverter at the 90 degree corner where the gutters meet, but it is not as larger as the one in the imager above. The ground is pretty flat at...

Thanks for the replies. I don't see a way at present to redirect the water coming off the roof since the roof valley connects at a 90 degree corner of the gutter system. I have a roofing guy coming over tomorrow to check it out and offer his opinion about a long term solution. He also does...

How do you deal with ice on your sidewalks/walkways? We recently moved from a climate without snow to one with snow and cold weather. Our new to us home has a roof valley adjacent tot he front door. Snow melt drips onto the walkway and creates a layer of ice at the front door. I guess I can put...

Thanks, after watching a couple YouTube videos the Snow Edge looks like the best option for my situation.

I have a small tractor BX25 and I need something to protect the bucket edge and the driveway for those areas where I need to use the bucket to clear snow. The Edge Tamers look interesting but I notice that the BX Expander also has a straight bar that bolts onto the bucket (BXpanded Piranha...

I use the Weatherflow Tempest device for the full range of weather information. There is no display but there is a phone/tablet/app or you can access the information with an Alexa app or on your computer. It is a pretty nice piece of tech. The All New Tempest Weather System

Thanks. Your situation seems similar to mine. We have several large oak trees that block our northern view. We are still waiting for our Starlink delivery, but I am anticipating there will be a siting problem because of the trees. I may be able to locate the dish in an area some distance away...

For someone who is not knowledgeable about networking, can you explain the radio point to point as it relates to using Starlink?

Sounds like it works well for you and that comforting to know since I hope to plug our mesh into the Starlink router and hope that all goes well. If not then a direct plug into our mesh should be fine. Thanks for the insight.

"The included router seems decent but not anything exceptional. The good thing is that you have options. You can plug your mesh system into the Starlink router for better home coverage or you can omit the Starlink router entirely and just use your own setup. I haven't heard of issues plugging a...

Maybe this was discussed earlier, but if you have a larger house, is the Starlink router providing adequate coverage? We current use a Netgear Mesh system to get coverage through the house. I believe that I can bypass the Starlink router and plug directly into our current mesh but then we lose...

We are moving from California o Northern Wisconsin. I had planned to take my BX25 and and RTV900 and use the tractor for snowblowing and general property cleanup and maintenance. However, it looks as if the offer to buy our current house includes the tractor and RTV. The price and it...

I just bought a new Bx25 and I am wondering if there is a need for the Brotek or any other skidplate since I believe Kubota now has added some protection for the transmission fan. Should I get a skidplate or do you think the fan is protected enough with the stock equipment on the Bx25?
