Ykdave Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 I’ve got a gen2 setup that’s been working great in my rv and I want to move it to my house for the winter the house already has a cat6 jack inside, which is run out to a jack at my tower that was being used for my old cellular modem. i wanted to use this existing run of cat6 to avoid having to punch a large hole in the house to run the starlink cable through so I have purchased a “stargear” adapter to use rj45 connectors on the starlink. It is recommended to use shielded wire of course, which the existing run of cat6 is just regular old cat6 utp 23awg. I tried hooking up the starlink through this existing run yesterday and it will not work at all is this an issue with the utp wire (I assumed it may just cause some interference issues), or maybe an issue with having so many connections in the line? The overall length of the run is about 50ft which I thought was reasonable but there are quite a few connections dish-rj45-rj45 jack-rj45 jack-rj45-router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykdave Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 My bad, this thing for some reason doesn’t like the rj45 connectors I had used on the outdoor section of wiring. Everything appeared good and seemed to work when I tested it inside with my laptop-router. Re-terminated with a different brand of connectors I had and it is working now. the unshielded wire doesn’t seem to have harmed the throughput, I’m still getting ~100Mbps like I was previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
