I’m in Ontario Canada for reference. I recently got Starlink. I ordered the 100mbps plan. Came with the wifi mini router. Which honestly is shit. And from a bit of research others say it’s shit. I see that the 200mbps plan comes with the better router. My in laws are going to order Starlink soon. Can they order the 200mbps plan and once they receive it and switch to the 100mbps plan. And not have to send the router back?? Just wondering lol. The range on the mini is garbage.

Hi all I bought a house with a shop that has a 8x8 little insulated office tacked on the side of it. I have no need to use it as an office. I was wondering if I could use the already installed heat pump to use it as a meat cooler for 1-2 months a year. Would only run for about 1 month in the fall and one month in the spring. It has two windows in it so if this isn’t a good route I can buy a window shaker and a cool bot.

I’m literally just learning about this technology and it seems pretty cool. I’m an electrical engineer and a master electrician so this stuff intrigues me. Currently we use GMRS radios at our off grid hunting camp. I’ve tossed around the idea of adding a repeater for better comms. There can be loss of communication when one person is on the other side of a large hill or in a depression. It’s very thick bush

Just wondering if these lora devices would be a better option. The solar nodes on Amazon are significantly cheaper than anything I can build for a solar GMRS repeater. We have 6 radios right now and could sell them and switch over to this. It would be nice to text each other instead of using an ear peice and having to whisper. Any more info on the technology and what to potentially buy would be greatly appreciated!
