My setup in rural highlands of Scotland links two buildings (A) and (B), and consists of a Wifi mesh in building (A). The main router links three other Starlink mesh routers placed strategically around the house. Big house with 5 bedrooms. The ethernet from the main Starlink Router goes straight into an 8 port Gb switch which feeds via ethernet my laptop, and Mac, etc. Another feed from the switch goes to a POE connection and out to an external 5 Ghz Ubiquiti Nanostation. This bridges to another external 5 Ghz Nanostation and POE on building (B). From (B’s) Nanostation, ethernet runs to a small Ubiquiti 5Ghz Aircube hub. So Building (B) has its own wifi area, and it has a Hive thermostat controlling the heating in building (B). This can be monitored and also controlled from building (A). The evening speeds in (B) are enough to satisfy a gaming enthusiast (?), probably around minimum of 60mbs down and 20 Mbs up. Latency between 30 to 50. The mesh speed in (A) varies on location and time of day, but with 3-5 adult users streaming with no buffering, we are very happy. Oh, and loads of things attached to the network. Bye bye to BT with ADSL broadband of 12 down and 1 up, which cost a lot for endless frustration. Starlink is worth every penny. I even tried the old Huawei router with GiffGaff SIM. GiffGaff chucked me off for having too many users and too many devices feeding of the Wifi.

Many thanks for your answer, I may now prepare passthru and new wifi routeur, and happy new year
