Howdy
I've just received my starlink kit.
Didn't pay enough attention to detail and have
Just noticed that it doesn't have an ethernet port

Essentially I live In a rural tiny home; starlink kit is mounted to it and I need to run a 70m cat6 to my
Cabin with my pc in it.

I cannot move the dish due to the rest of the property
Being surrounded with trees.

Can an old router be used to receive my starlink wifi
Signal and just run a cat6 off that to my hut?

I've got two options for routers
A Vodafone ultra hub and one of 'my republics' loan
Modems from about 4 years ago.
I can get model numbers if needed tomorrow.
Cheers

The answer is no, you won't be able to use this router.

 

Instead just purchase a Starlink Ethernet adapter: https://shop.starlink.com/ (I don't have a login as I don't have Starlink so not sure about price, or stock).

 

If you couple this with a cheap Gigabit switch (https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/SWHTPL1007/TP-Link-TL-SG1005D-5-Port-Gigabit-Unmanaged-Switch) you'll be able to hook up multiple devices.

Thanks for the reply.
Trying to get this going this weekend if I can which won't happen if I go the starlink adapter route. I'll have to see if I can come up with something else
