Ellen Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 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.

StarlinkLeader Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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.
