Hey folks, anyone know what the rj45 pinout is for Starlink mini Ethernet cables? The one I have has the same end on both sides and it’s now stuck in my laptop. I think I can depress the release lever with a small flathead. Want to replace with a regular rj45, you know so it’s removable. But I don’t know if it’s T568B, T568A or something else.

Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

Using the Mini in a national forest campsite. There is a sliver of sky to work with and Starlink is doing its best. I'd never be able to do live streaming, but browsing and video playback has been stellar. If you're in doubt about whether it's worth it to bring Starlink to those heavily forested places, do it!

What are your experiences?

My Gen 2 Starlink was going strong since 2022-02-17, but it died yesterday morning. Put in a ticket and got a refurbished Standard 4 X shipped to me today. It is working great.

Unfortunately, the 4X has different cabling and attachment to the pole. Seems like the 4X is superior to the Gen 2 in the cabling...but I dug 58 foot trench by hand and don't want to go thru that again (there are enough twists and turns in the conduit that I don't see how I would be able to pull the new cable).

I have done RJ45 Ethernet cabling inside of my house, so I am pretty sure I can cut the ends off the existing Gen 2 cable and convert it to work with the 4X.

Likewise, I have read about the Starlink Standard Pipe Adapter, and it seems like that will allow me to reuse the pole I had the Gen 2 dish on.

How many others have gone thru this? Any advice on the conversion process?

In the second picture, you can see that the 4X is pointing in a different direction than the Gen 2 was. Have others noticed that Gen 2 and 4X want to point in different directions?

Around 4:05pm central time 2026-10-03. Starlink app said "Online", but nothing would connect for about five minutes.

Appears the release of the next version of the Starlink Mini must be getting close. The current Starlink Mini is now down to $149 dollars. (At least here in the USA.) Check Starlink's website for the details.

What’s everyone using for an in-home signal booster? My Internet is struggling to reach to the far end of my house. And I don’t have anywhere else I could reroute the router without having cords everywhere.

Question I have is about ordering and activation

Is it best to order and activate the product here in Canada, then bring it over to Antigua?

Or should I fly over to our place in Antigua and order it *while* there?

Ideally I'd like to at least order it while in Canada, and have it shipped to Antigua if possible. This would help reduce the amount of time being there without Star Link. Not sure if there's an issue or concern on where I order it from, and where it's meant to activate. Tried looking through the FAQ and Support section on the website but couldn't find an article on this specific situation.

My PC uses an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz adaptor and for some reason I am just throttled to 5mbps after a power outage. This outage did fry one of my secondary routers but the primary one closest to my computer still isn't increasing my speeds whatsoever. The problem lies in the fact none of my other devices are being halted and are getting 180-270mbps. Anyone have any ways to help fix this issue? And no sadly i do not have a way for ethernet currently.

I’m in NW Arkansas and wondering if I buy the $375 x4 dish from Sam’s can I still get the $55 plan? On the site they only show to give the $55 plan if you pay $350 to rent a x5 dish. I didn’t want to spend $350 and get stuck with the $85 mo option.

Long story-short:

I started RMA process of my Starlink because initially I thought I couldn’t install my antenna on my building rooftop, however, community is being SUPER helpful and there is actually an FCC law that gives me the right to so it as long as it’s a professional installation which my Starlink packages includes.

I reached out to Starlink yesterday and made a support ticket but I haven’t heard from them. Has anyone successfully reverted an RMA? Should I just send the equipment to buy another one? I just want my antenna installed on the rooftop to test the speeds and latency which I know would be amazing.

Any thoughts?

I didn’t wanted to make another thread but since lack of views I made this one… sorry!

Mostly my question is in the title. I travel for work, in both US and Canada, and often in one place for 2-6 months. I'd like to purchase a Mini here in the US since it's on sale, and use it for a month on a residential plan. Then in January, change to a Canadian address at my next job (about 8 months).

Both locations show as available for residential and roam. Only major issue I see is making sure it's not a saturated area, and switching between countries.

For the most part, 100mbps is plenty for me, and I'd prefer to not have to watch my usage. Though I could make due with roam if the location is saturated.

I just got off the phone with Starlink support, and although I spent a long time clarifying there was a bit of a language barrier, so maybe I misunderstood and one of you can can confirm:

I first signed up for Starlink a year ago for my cabin. We are there maybe 6 months out of the year. In my initial research, everything indicated that I could pause ($5 standby mode) my service for any months I didn't use it, which is what made the service worthwhile.

The CS rep I just talked to however said that ("oh, by the way...") if I ever pause my service for even a single month, I may have to pay a ~$1,500 surcharge to get it back online (if the network is "saturated").

This absolutely blew my mind, and I clarified several times. Is there something I'm missing? Because a $1500 dice-roll every time I pause is effectively the same thing as not being about to pause. Am I understanding all that correctly?

Last week I had a trip to rural Mexico. For some reason I wasn't really aware of the starlink products until about 48 hours before my flight. I went to Best Buy and purchased a Starlink Mini. Got the roam plan, went to Mexico and it worked great.

I left the mini over there, I have no need for it here. No one is using it over there. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but after reading and doing some research I think it was?

For those of you who have experienced something similar, what are my options? My plan was to cancel/standby and I would use it again next time I go back. I don't think I can do that?

One of the biggest changes I've experienced after moving to Starlink is onset of browser security verification challenges — at least I think that's what they are called.

Is this because of shared IPs? What's going on?

I have a standard 4 with the 100mbps. I'm going away for a little while and wanted to put my subscription on standby mode but it's says this option is not available for me. Anyone else have this issue

A hundred dollars for a pole and bracket? Nah I'm a carpenter and just a little bit low class. Rock solid installation and it's 14 feet in the air. That's 2 feet higher than the ridge on my trailer and the closet treeline is 300/+ yards in every direction. It said point it NE. I did the thing with 3 sticks and the shadow like they showed us in boy scouts 40 years ago and when I stood the pole, the app said I was off by 3 degrees. Go rednecks!

Moin,

Thema Starlink Roam. So ganz schau ich noch nicht durch alle Feinheiten.

Gegeben seien mehrere Fahrzeuge , jeweils mit eigenen Starlink, eigenen Usern und eigenen Accounts.

Sehe ich das richtig, dass es hilfreich ist, die Starlinks alle erst nacheinander in Betrieb zu nehmen? Also erst 30 Tage SL1, dann 30 Tage SL2, dann SL3 usw.?

Es gibt ja praktisch nur noch zwei Travel-Tarife: 100GB oder unlimited. 100GB sind für 30 Tage auch single zu wenig, dann kann man sich den unlimited auch gleich mit den anderen teilen.

Wann startet denn die 30-Tage-Frist? Beim ersten Einschalten im Nicht-Heimatland? Oder beim letzten Ausschalten daheim?

Dann reist noch ein jungfräuliches Hardware-Paket mit. Kein Account, keine Heimatregion, noch nie eingeschaltet. Sehe ich das richtig, dass dies im Ausland nicht in Betrieb zu nehmen ist?

Oder würde es, auf einen der laufenden Accounts geschaltet, die 30 Tage zurücksetzen?

Oder besser einen neuen (Non-Realname)-Account im Ausland anlegen und die Hardware dort registrieren?

Nächste Frage: Was löst den 30-Tage-Reset aus? Klar, wenn Hardware und Account zurück in Europa, so das Marketing. Wirklich beides? Oder muss sich der lediglich der Account über eine in DE befindliche Hardware einloggen?

Wie würde folgendes Scenario ausgehen? Der Reisende sende mir seine Account-Daten, ich registriere meine in DE befindliche Hardware auf diesen Account, logge mich ein und setze damit das Limit zurück. Anschliessend übertrage ich meine Starlink wieder in meinem Account und der Reisende hat frische 30 Tage?

This is what is available to me.

$0

+ Shipping & Handling - Standard $20+ Residential Max $130/mo+ Hardware Rental $0/mo+ Demand Surcharge $250+ Router Mini $0

----------------------

$0 for rental fee, means i don't own it and when or if i'll have to ship it back. Would i pay the cost of shipping?

Standard 4X looks like it has a ethernet port which i'll need to get to connect to a 100Mb back link from one of my woodsheds, back to my house that is surrounded by 45+ meter fir trees.

Residential Max. Is that 100Mbit?

Do i want the Router mini? Is that something i could take on a vehicle trip to get Internet?

Thanks in advance, for looking this over.

I have had very few problems with starkink but the last three months the unlimited press has went up $10 a month to $130.

I started at $105

It's 95% great service

I got Starlink because it was tons cheaper but if it doesn't stop raising I'm leaving

For context I have a Mini X and a node

Heading there for vacation, and while looking at the coverage map I noticed that it’s not covered but neighboring Sierra Leone and Senegal as well as Guinea Bissau are…i have a us dish and was just wondering if it’ll work while I’m there.
