Starlink - Anyone get it yet?

You mean client count limitation.
Most of consumer routers are 32 or at best 64 clients (on paper). Edit : WiFi clients
Environments with planned higher numbers should consider dedicated WiFi solutions where single AP can handle 50-200 , depending on brand and model (Aruba, Uni, Cisco, other)
or multiple AP's to share clientele

Looks like it alright, my mini was averaging around 22w in November and December, dropped down to around 17w on the 9th of January (the flat lines are where no data was being collected)

Don't really see the point of paying for the Lite tbh. €50 a month for the technology is a bargain. If you aren't always at the house I think you can either Pause the service or pay for Standby mode which is a 500kbps service.

Anyone use the mini router mesh? Only 47 euro delivered. Curious if it's any use

For somebody who's absolutely clueless at all kinds of DIY, what kind of prices can I expect for installation? Contacted one lad who quoted €330 which I was a bit shocked at as I thought it was a quick and easy job for somebody who knew what they were doing. That included the brackets tho so maybe it's a good deal?

I'm in Cork if anyone has recommendations for a good installer, I haven't ordered it yet but I probably will as I'm sick of Eir failing.

Definitely get past the Musk stuff, it works very well.

Would a 4G/5G router be an alternative considering it’s a second home? You could stick your own SIM in or buy Clear Mobile/Gomo for 12.99/14.99.

We installed mine at my parents on Friday night. I had the long arm wall mount purchased from starlink. They had an SDS drill and bits etc so was straightforward enough. 350 seems a lot if it's a relatively straightforward drill a hole run a cable but if a mount is included etc then can add up. I've found a lot of variance in what lads charge for these kind of job.. id two ethernet cables run a camera and WiFi access point mounted last week for 85 euro.. cables supplied and made up. Other lad wanted to charge me 250 for same job...

Yeah the only benefit I see with standby mode is in cases where you lose your primary internet and have no phone/mobile data connection and you want to get back on line by using starlink. I powered mine on at the weekend and it updated and I've given it / installed it at my parents with the 35 euro a month plan in a rural area in the northwest and it's flying..

For me the challenge would be reactivating my sub..when we lost power in the past we have no mobile signal either so no way to get to the internet

Have backup power as well here.. challenge is mobile masts must be on the same power line as us so when we go they go as well no signal anywhere

Just packed up the old Gen 2 dish and hope to catch the postman so he can take it back today. I rented mine.

Should have bought it but if I had it would have cost me €60 a year as a backup I probably would never use?

The service can only be described as excellent.

Anyway I have a Gen 2 ethernet adaptor going spare if anyone needs one for the cost of postage - PM me. Edit> Also have a wall bracket for the base unit.

Depends on where you are putting the dish? Minus hole to fish out wire and holes to mount dish. It's just a case of plugging in the wire to dish and modem.
