Extending Starlink Mini Signal Range

[Ellen]

I have a Starlink Mini device (model UTA-231, 2024) installed in a container office in a rural area.

We’ve recently added a new, much larger container next to it, and now we need the Wi-Fi signal to cover the entire space—but it just doesn’t reach.

I’ve checked the Starlink Mini device itself and didn’t find any Ethernet port, so I believe solutions that require a wired connection won’t work in my case.

What’s the best way to extend the signal? Would a regular Wi-Fi repeater work, or should I look into a mesh network? I’ve heard of mesh systems but don’t really understand how they work.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The starlink mini does have an ethernet port, pull out the weather plug. 

you can use Starlink routers (specifically Gen 3 and Mini routers) to mesh with a Starlink Mini for improved coverage, either wirelessly or using a wired Ethernet connection. A wired connection is the recommended method for best performance, especially since the Starlink Mini's built-in Wi-Fi range can be weak. You will need the Starlink Ethernet cable or another standard Ethernet cable and a compatible Starlink router

You can mesh them to Starlink mini. 

Or you can plug in a 3rd party WiFi AP via ethernet, and then run it out to the container, and boom. youve got internet in the container. 

Hope this helps.
