Gen 2 to Gen 3 mounting advice

sunroof71

Hey folks, long-time Starlink residential user here. I've been running the Gen 2 dish and router setup for a while now, mounted on a Ridgeline mount (yeah, it was a bit pricey, but worth it for the stability in high winds). I'm thinking about upgrading to the newer dish and router, but I’m wondering—what kind of speed improvement should I expect? Also, does anyone know if the new dish will still work with my current Ridgeline mount? I’d really rather not shell out for a new one if I can avoid it. Open to any advice or suggestions—thanks in advance!

In terms of internet speeds, don't expect a noticeable improvement just by upgrading to Gen 3. What you will notice is better Wifi range and speeds (between devices on the network). The Gen 3 router is SO much better thanks to the Wifi 6 technology.

As far as mounting, you can reuse your Gen 2 Ridgeline Mount by purchasing the "Standard to Standard Actuated" adapter from Starlink. This allows you to mount the Gen 3 to any Gen 2 mount: https://www.starlink.com/shop/products/us-consumer-adapter-mount-gen3
