Fikey Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 At the suggestion of a local installer, I purchased aa APC backup for my system. Over the next week or so, I had drop outs, network errors, etc. every 10 minutes or so until I found out that the backup was the problem. Once I plugged the Starlink directly into the outlet, no more problems. I remember the installer said something about the power company did something after outages that may "reset" my Starlink. I do also use a bridge to relay to a second location on the property. Is there really a problem without the backup? I know the more expensive backups are pure syne wave which may eliminate the p[roblem, but is that necessary? 1 Quote Link to comment https://starlinkforum.net/topic/297-backup-power-and-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDishy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Going to more than likely damage something on your starlink PoE power supply by not running pure sine wave.... Run a decent UPS and you won't have issues. Cheap UPS's/backups that are not pure sine wave in my own opinion are house fire risks as well.
