Adding a Gen 3 Starlink Router to a Gen 2 System

Starlink's Gen 3 Router is now available for anyone to purchase, and many
Gen 2 Starlink users may want to incorporate into their setup.

But adding a Gen 3 router to a Gen 2 system is not as simple as just replacing one with the other.

In this video, Dan will go over both routers and explain how to add a Gen 3 router to a Gen 2 system.

Thanks for this focused vlog. The Peplink B One is a nice device since it has the capability of Speed Fusion . However, I implemented a tp-link ER605 and added a tp-link access point for less than $150. This setup has all the benefits + mentioned in your vlog except Speed Fusion bonding (which costs additional $). My setup has worked flawlessly for 6 months in the RV as I can have my t-mobile hotspot, verizon hotspot and starlink all backing each other up (starlink is the primary) and still have 3 lan ports available of other devices. This is worth considering for price conscious RV's.

Thx for the video!

Thx for the video! Just a dum question, can I do the opposite, add a Gen2 router to my Gen3 (main router) to create a mesh system ?

I’m using Peplink MAX Transit Duo Pro with FusionSIM and Starlink Gen 3. I was running Gen 2 but bought the Gen 3 for the more compact size.

Do you know if I can use a Gen 2 cable with the Gen 3 dish and router? I have my Gen 2 cable buried underground across the driveway to the house that a previous owner put in, and I want to utilize it. Any idea?

I have a pool house that has my gen 2 router and dish. I built a outdoor kitchen on the other side of the pool and was hoping I could get the ethernet adapter, plug it into my gen 2 and then run the cat cable to the kitchen where my gen 3 router would be. Would this work for a mesh system so that I have internet in both the house and the outdoor area at the same time?

You aren’t expected to use the previous dish with the gen3 router the kit of the gen3 comes with another dish that doesn’t use motors and it’s PoE

[larrywhitt]

The gen 3 router powers the dish through the ethernet cable going to the dish.

I hooked up a gen3 router to a gen2 dish system.
Do I need to set the gen2 router into bypass mode?

What's the Peplink's power draw over DC?

[Sirena_Edonismo]

I have a gen 2 on my large boat. There are certain areas with poor connection. If I purchase a gen 3 do i just plug it in where I want to extend the signal and connect via wi-fi to make a mesh system or do I have to use the adapter and ethernet cable to connect the 2 and extend my range?
