Starlink Ethernet Adapter for Wired External Network (01560575-001)

Product Information

The last point, namely reducing latency, is particularly important given that Starlink already suffers from comparatively higher latency versus fiber.

While most people likely don’t connect to the internet via an ethernet cable, it did not take up that much space, to begin with. It does feel like that SpaceX simply wanted to find another way to monetize its loyal user base. Stability: Wired connections are typically more reliable and less subject to interference than Wi-Fi.Step 1 – Unplug the Starlink router AC power cord from the wall. You will want the dish and router turned off while we reconfigure the cables. With that said, I do question the motive behind removing the ethernet port from the Gen1 hardware set.

Speed: Ethernet often provides faster data transfer, particularly useful for large data activities like streaming or gaming. Once it's all done, you can attach the Pivot Mount to the freshly installed Flashing Mount, and proceed to set up your rooftop Starlink dish.The problem is, if you're not already a Starlink customer, but merely considering signing up, it's hard to know what accessories are even available, let alone what they are used for and which ones you might need. So we've put together this guide covering all of the accessories currently offered in the Starlink store. We'll give you tips for when each accessory might be useful, along with information about pricing and setup. (Note: We've provided shoppable links to each accessory item, but know that you'll need to be signed in to your Starlink account to access them directly.) Instead of simply drilling into the roof, the Flashing Mount's setup is a bit more involved. It requires you to cut away some of your roof using a provided template and a utility knife, pry up the surrounding shingles a bit, and then screw and caulk the mount into position. It's a more invasive process, but that's just the reality of some roofing materials. While Starlink doesn't specify the exact range of its mesh nodes, the installation materials do advise that the nodes "work best when they're no more than one to two rooms apart from each other." In a smart touch, the kit also comes with an over-the-shoulder carry bag for the Starlink dish, to make it easier to carry the dish safely up a ladder. The Starlink Ethernet Adapter is a simple cable adapter that plugs into the Starlink router. The cable from the dish also plugs into it. Basically, the Ethernet Adapter sits in between your router and dish. What you get by installing the adapter is a single Ethernet LAN port. The port gives devices that are plugged in access to the internet and your home network.

First and foremost, I think that Starlink’s Ethernet Adapter does what it’s supposed to. Starlink’s products often have an Apple feel to them in that they’re beautifully designed and easy to use.Starlink has their own case, called the Starlink Travel Case. It’s a bit cheaper than some of the aftermarket cases, and is specifically designed for Starlink. Official Starlink accessories are only sold through the online Starlink shop. If you are interested in buying accessories from Starlink, you’ll need an active account. More on that in the next section. Nonetheless, Starlink’s Ethernet Adapter is overall a great product that does what it’s supposed to without any noticeable issues.

The base of the pivot mount is screwed down onto the roofing material (a separate accessory is needed if you have metal flashing to contend with), and the mount comes with the necessary lag screws and sealing tape to prevent roof leaks that might be caused by drilling the required holes.

Portability: Take Your Starlink on the Road

Hi there, thanks for a very helpful blog. I have a question regarding my existing wired home network. I had no problem setting up the Ethernet adapter, and restarting the starlink router and having successful connection to the existing network. However eventually (typically a day or so) the connection is lost to the network (while the starlink hub still works fine) and I have to restart the starlink hub to reconnect the network. The Ethernet adapter connects to a D-link switch, where cables run out to sensors, an AirPort Extreme base station which serves as Time Machine for a couple computers with a usb cable to a printer so it can be accessed wirelessly, and a cable also runs from the d-link switch to separate building where there is an apple wireless hub in what I think is extension mode for wireless and also Ethernet connections to sensors, solar panels and a computer. Sounds like a complex setup, but it has worked fine with our old router on dsl, and I simply switched from the old router to the starlink hub through Ethernet adapter. Where do you think the culprit for dropped connection may be? Is it starlink hub, d-link Ethernet switch, having other wireless hubs in bridge or extension mode on the the local Ethernet network? Would be delighted to hear any suggestions. Thanks! Reply If you need to expand your Wifi signal to more areas of your house, you’ll want to set up a mesh network. You can use aftermarket mesh products, but Starlink also has an official version of their own that is compatible with the current rectangular dish. This official Starlink mesh system will compete with existing aftermarket mesh network options to provide better Wifi coverage throughout your home. After you've positioned the mesh node, plug it into a power outlet. From there, it's merely a matter of opening the Starlink app, waiting for the app to recognize the new node, and then following the onscreen instructions to pair the node with your existing Wi-Fi network. If you need to extend your wireless coverage farther, repeat the process with a second or third mesh node.
