Not a Starlink newbie. IT Professional. I have clients on v2 and Standard v4 with router V3. Now client just ordered and received the V5. Came with Mini UTR-251 trying to make sense of things.
So client of mine droppingbcable and picked up Starlink. They ordered the home Max. They chose to buy the hardware and not rent. They got the Mini Kit V5 abd not the older kit. I was not aware of this existing fresh out July 26 and expected them to get the Standard V4 like a client just got 4 months ago. Doing the same thing a max sub.
I am not sure if this latest is the greatest.
I had another post about which mesh to go with Starlink or 3rd party.
Everything I see says the V3 router UTR-232 is better. I am trying to figure out if they should buy the V3 router since they need mesh and place that as the main router and then use the Mini as the mesh node. If even possible ?? or get another Mini router for mesh node. I am not figuring anything out on differences between the antennas in each kit.
The Mini right now is in living room and when in kitchen on opposite end the wifi shows as being about -74 db in 2.4 but it is blinking on and off the analyzer that I am using on my phone. 5GHz is showing -86 db. It is also going in and out on the wifi connection screen.
The old setup was Asus Router with a mesh node and the db from the router was still high but not blinking out. They are not overlapping channels.
Not sorry for saying Starlinks hardware offerings are as confusing as Musk is.
