I don’t want to bypass and go through my old router. Is there a device that I can connect to the starlink WiFi that has an Ethernet port?

Am I the only one that always thinks of Terminator whenever I see the word starlink?

You can buy an ethernet adapter from the starlink website or you can cut the cable and connect the dish to a PoE. Never tried the second option but from what I've read it doesn't seem to complicated, but I just bought the adapter.

From what I understand about the adapter is that you connect it to a third party router. I’m wondering if the 3rd party router will be better/worse than the starlink router

Doing this now at a jobsite. Working so much better than the hot spot we were using.

That thing comes with WiFi only? What if the radio croaks out?

I am 100% certain that Elon would have called it Skynet if they had let him.
