Great invention for sure.

I there may have been a misunderstanding on the part of Ronald Tocino. What Geek Squad said was, he didn’t use the “INCLUDED” router. The 2 parts to the Starlink system are the antenna “dish” and the router. Many owners of the mobile RV version have changed the 120 volt requirement using a 12V to 48V transformer to insert power through an aftermarket device to the Starlink’s antenna which also lends to using a different router (if wanted) to increase range. The directional router Geek Squad mentioned, that broadcast for several miles would have been a unidirectional one not a 360 pattern like Starlink’s included one. Although post #1 was only looking for comments about like-ability, there may be some who dry camp that would be interested in how to remake the Starlink system to operate on 12 volts.
