Less than 24 hours after we got our first look at the "Router Mini" in the Starlink app, they launched it in the shop. $40, and it's actually a lot smaller than I expected!

- Wifi 6
- Dual band
- Starlink mesh, wired or wireless
- 9V power adapter
- Will not power a dish, this is just a mesh router
- Covers around 1,200 sq ft
This would be a great option to add some additional Wifi coverage to your Starlink system in a cost effective way. It's about the price of a typical Wifi extender from Amazon, but is actual mesh network technology.
Hook it up wired or wireless with your Gen 3 router or Mini dish, and wireless with a Gen 2 router.
This would also be a good option as a main router for the Mini dish with the integrated one disabled. Like if you have the Mini on your van/RV, and you wanted the Wifi router inside instead of on the roof.
US only for now, but Starlink says they will expand access over time. No timeline provided on release in other countries.
