Which Starlink kit suits you?

Choose your bet and compare two kits directly. You can immediately see what is different in terms of antenna, router and power demand. With your own electricity price, you can then calculate the running costs.

Transparency: Our flagged Starlink referral links may bring us a remuneration or other referral benefit. Eligible new customers receive a free service month, according to Starlink. The technical data come from manufacturer documents; this article is a data comparison and not a series of measurements of all nine devices.

Starlink Hardware in Comparison: Measures, Weight, Router and Electricity

The table compares the terminal hardware and documented kit content. A tariff is different: bandwidth, priority and permitted use also depend on the booked service. The technical specification list also includes older devices and does not prove that all nine kits are offered at your address.

On small displays, the table can be moved laterally.

*Mini X: Consumption range of the mini terminal; the excess consumption of the additional router is not specified separately. In the case of the standard with motor, 513 × 303 mm refers to the antenna surface, not to the entire device with mast. For the Enterprise terminal, no weight was taken from a similar model.

Understand Starlink technology: What the data really says

A Starlink kit does not simply consist of a “satellite dish”. The receiving and transmitting technology includes the power supply, the local network and the mechanical attachment. This is precisely why an inconspicuous difference in the scope of delivery can be more important than the next generation number: an integrated router saves one device, a separate power supply enables other installations, and a longer original cable can make the better antenna location accessible in the first place.

Phased array and alignment: electronic is not motorized

The datasheets describe the terminals as phased array antennas. In this case, the radio direction is electronically influenced by the interaction of a plurality of antenna elements. The basic position of the entire device can be distinguished from this: V5, Mini and the Standard 4 family call a software-supported manual orientation. In the older standard with motor, a motorized self-alignment is added. “Without a motor” therefore does not mean that the radio connection can only point rigidly in a single direction.

Practically, the location counts first. Anyone who places the terminal next to a high house wall or under trees cannot compensate for such obstacles with a newer router. The alignment aid and the obstacle test in the app are part of the location decision. Subsequent, good assembly is often more complex than a cleanly planned first body.

100°, 110° or 140° field of view: more angles is not a tempo promise

The standard with motor calls 100°, the compact and standard kits predominantly 110°, both performance terminals considered here 140°. The field of view describes a geometric working range, no Wi-Fi range and no guaranteed download value. A large field of view is therefore a technical feature for operational planning, but not a substitute for clear view and a suitable tariff.

Information such as “up to 400 Mbit/s” in a product sheet must also be distinguished from own measurements. An announced Gigabit development for Performance GEN3 is not proof that a specific connection today delivers Gigabit at every address. For a purchase comparison, the secured differences in construction, connections, routers, environmental conditions and energy demand are more resilient.

Compare weight and dimensions correctly

Terminal weight, weight with stand, weight with cable and shipping weight are different sizes. In the Mini, for example, 1.10 kg stands for the terminal, 1.16 kg with stand and 1.53 kg with stand and 15 m cable. The parcel weight must therefore not be treated as a weight on a roof support or in a daypack. For the standard with motor, 513 × 303 mm refers to the antenna surface; the entire height depends on the position.

The combination of device, holder and mounting substrate also counts for assembly. A wind value specified in the data sheet is not a blanket clearance for each self-built bracket. The same care is required for the power supply: 100 W USB-PD requirement and 25-40 W average consumption of the Mini do not contradict each other, but describe different requirements.

All nine Starlink kits: images, technical data and scope of delivery

The following images show the respective manufacturer product views and the associated kit images. Via „All technical data“ you can also reach router, power supply and accessories values as well as the original technical drawing. The representation of the product images among each other is not true to scale.

Starlink V5

Compact entry for the home

Light home kit with a separate mini router and a lower consumption range than standard 4 and 4 X.

The Starlink V5 is aimed at households looking for a compact, easy-to-mount solution. The terminal measures 384 × 306 × 34 mm and, according to the data sheet, weighs 1.1 kg. This makes it significantly smaller and lighter than the standard 4 variants. The comparison becomes particularly interesting when the kit runs all year round: Starlink calls for V5 on average 35 to 50 watts, for Standard 4 and Standard 4 X, however, 75 to 100 watts.

The V5 includes a separate mini-router with Wi-Fi 6. The satellite terminal can therefore stand outside with a clear view of the sky, while the router in the house supplies the devices. The compact router cannot be equated with the WLAN integrated in the mini-terminal. The V5 datasheet specifies up to 204 m² of coverage and two 1 Gbit/s RJ45 connections for the mini-router. Range and throughput still depend on walls, floors and position.

V5 is especially worth a closer look if a manageable power requirement and a small antenna are more important to you than a router package as extensive as possible. Which hardware you actually get with your tariff, shows the concrete offer. A new generation number alone makes the connection neither faster nor more stable.

Our classification:Check home first if a compact kit and ongoing electricity costs are important.

Important for this kit: The datasheet shows a separate power supply, although the web kit list does not contain its own line. V5 is not listed in the currently reviewed list of supported hardware for use in motion.

Starlink Mini

Compact for travel and electricity budget

Small terminal with integrated WLAN, DC input and comparatively low energy requirements.

The Starlink Mini combines satellite antenna and WLAN in one housing. This saves a separate router device on the go and reduces the setup. With 298.5 × 259 × 38.5 mm and 1.10 kg without stands and additional cables, it is the obvious comparison for camping, changing locations and small power reserves. With stand Starlink calls 1.16 kg, with stand and 15-m cable 1.53 kg.

The integrated WLAN works with Wi-Fi 5, dual-band and 3×3 MU-MIMO. Starlink specifies up to 112 m² of coverage and up to 128 connected devices. These are manufacturer upper limits, no assurance for a metal caravan or a house with several floors. The antenna must have clear visibility; its ideal location is not automatically the best location for Wi-Fi.

The DC input is specified as 12 to 48 volts and 60 watts. For Starlink USB-C accessories, the datasheet requires a USB-PD source with 100 watts, at least 20 volts and 5 amperes. This requirement must not be confused with the average operating consumption: a small power bank with nominally 30 watts is therefore not enough automatically.

Our classification:The first comparison option for mobile use, when pack size and energy demand count.

Important for this kit: The mini datasheet mentions 25–40 W, the current power demand support article 20–40 W. The hardware tables use 25–40 W; in the power calculator, the support value can alternatively be selected for the mini-kit. IP67 applies only with the provided cables and plugs.

Starlink Mini X

Mini kit with additional router

The same central mini-terminal format, supplemented by mini-router, router power supply and router stands.

Mini X is to be understood as a kit: The compact terminal data correspond to the Mini in the archived data sheet, plus a separate mini router with its own power supply and stand. So you do not automatically get a larger antenna or a higher booked satellite throughput. The added value lies in the construction of the local network and the possibility of placing an additional router closer to the users.

This can be interesting if the antenna has to be outside the motorhome or in a convenient place on the house, while better Wi-Fi is needed inside. If and how the devices are connected, you should plan based on the Mini-X interior manual and the intended accessories. The parts documented in the kit are listed in full below.

With the mini-router, a particularly precise source view is worthwhile: The mini-X datasheet mentions up to 120 m² and a locking LAN connection; V5 and standard 4 datasheets mention up to 204 m² and two RJ45 connections for the mini-router. The drawing in the Mini-X sheet also shows two sockets. This information does not allow a blanket standardization of LAN counting and coverage.

Our classification: Check if you need the mobility of the Mini and additionally a separate router.

Important for this kit: 25–40 W is the range of the mini terminal specified in the Mini-X datasheet. The additional router is not separately numbered and is not tacitly treated as a free consumer in the computer.

Mini X in our own hands-on test: scope of delivery and details

Own photos ·Drohnen.de · September 2026

The information above comes from the Starlink datasheets. We also unpacked, assembled and commissioned the Mini X ourselves. The following photos show what is actually in the carton and how the parts belong together. Measurements, app screenshots and the complete setup document our hands-on test with speed test and latency measurement.

Cartonboard and scope of delivery

The carton back covers all components. In the carton itself were our kit: the mini-terminal with folding stand, the elongated terminal power supply with EU plug, the separate Router Mini with its own compact power supply, the router stand, the wound grey DC power cable, the triangular pipe adapter and an illustrated short guide with further documents. In practice, two power supplies also mean: at the location of the router, you need two free sockets, as long as the terminal power supply is also plugged in there.

Terminal and Router Mini in detail

The terminal, with its rectangular antenna surface and flat housing, actually looks compact; the folding stand is firmly mounted on the rear and is simply folded out for the inclined installation. On the rear is the power connection for the DC cable, next to it, the Ethernet connection remains covered in the delivery state. The Router Mini is an independent white device. On our test device on the back , a round power connection and two Ethernet jacks are visible – this fits the drawing in the Mini-X datasheet, which counts differently in its LAN table.

Build and Connect Router Mini

The Router Mini is set upright with a separate stand. The foot is placed from below, after which the router is stable on the table. The router power supply comes into the round power socket next to the Ethernet connections. The image guide in the carton clearly shows the intended principle: terminal outside with clear view of the sky, router inside where the WLAN is needed.

This has convinced

Complete kit without tool requirements, clearly sorted form inserts, clear image instructions and an app setup in about 17 minutes up to the first statistics.

This is what you should plan for.

Two power supplies for terminal and router, a cable path from the outside location to the inside and a socket at the router square. The app showed in the test in the start-up phase about 18 W power consumption on average.

If you plan the kit for a garden or arbor, you will find the appropriate power supply and tariff logic in the guide Starlink in the allotment garden and Schrebergarten.

Starlink Standard 4

Standard terminal with mini-router

Large standard terminal with 110° field of view; the compact mini-router is in the kit.

Standard 4 combines the 594 × 383 × 39.7 mm terminal with the mini router. The antenna weighs 2.9 kg without stand and cable, 3.2 kg with stand and 3.8 kg with stand and 15 m cable. It is aligned manually with the support of the app. An engine that rotates the bowl mechanically does not belong to this generation.

Compared to standard 4 X, the central terminal dimensions, the field of view of 110° and the manufacturer’s consumption range of 75 to 100 watts are the same. The most important difference is in the kit: Standard 4 contains the mini router, Standard 4 X the router 3. The power supply unit data are also different. If you only look at the rectangular antenna, you can therefore assign the wrong WLAN and accessories data.

The mini-router in the standard 4 datasheet offers Wi-Fi 6 with dual-band and 2 × 2 MU-MIMO. It mentions two 1-Gbit/s RJ45 ports, up to 204 m² of coverage and up to 235 devices. For a permanent installation, this is a clear starting point; the real WLAN coverage must still be planned on the building.

Our classification: A suitable standard option if the offered kit and the mini-router cover your structure.

Important for this kit: The mini-router table calls −30 to +40 °C, but next to it −22 to +122 °F, which corresponds to +50 °C. The contradiction is not replaced by an invented uniform value.

Starlink Standard 4 X

Standard terminal with router 3

Standard terminal with router 3; interesting if the WLAN package is the deciding factor.

Standard 4 X uses the same central terminal format as Standard 4, but comes with Router 3. This works with Wi-Fi 6, tri-band and 4×4 MU-MIMO. Starlink lists up to 297 m² of Wi-Fi coverage, up to 235 connected devices and two interlocking Ethernet LAN ports. This makes the router the decisive distinguishing feature of the kit.

The larger manufacturer coverage indication does not mean that every home is fully supplied without an additional access point. Massive walls, reinforced concrete ceilings and an unfavorable router position can greatly limit the advantage. A central location and, if necessary, a wired extension usually make more sense than hiding the router at the outermost edge of the house during cable bushing.

With an average of 75 to 100 watts, the standard 4 family is significantly more energy-hungry than V5 in continuous operation. This is not an automatic exclusion criterion: if the specific package and router fit your home, the higher consumption can be an acceptable part of the total cost. Calculate it with your own electricity price beforehand.

Our classification:Compare with V5, if you pay special attention to the included WLAN package.

Important for this kit: In the data sheet, Router 3 is explicitly described for indoor use despite IP56. The web kit list contains the unusual line “Power supply 1.5 m”; the actual power supply dimensions are separately in the PDF.

Starlink Standard Actuated

Older generation for stock comparison

Motor-oriented older standard kit; important for used purchase, spare parts and existing equipment.

The standard with engine is its own generation. The antenna area measures 513 × 303 mm; the apparatus stands on a mast and is oriented by motor. The 34 mm shown in the drawing refers to the mast diameter and must not slide into a comparison table as the antenna body thickness. Depending on the position, the data sheet shows different overall heights.

Starlink calls for the terminal 100° field of view, IP54 and an average of 50 to 75 watts. This includes a GEN2 router with Wi-Fi 5, dual-band and 3×3 MU-MIMO. With a coverage of up to 185 m², its data sheet cannot be equated with the router 3 or the mini router. Cables and adapters must fit this generation.

For owners of a working kit, it is first crucial whether a problem actually has to be solved: high consumption, defective parts, impractical assembly or limited Wi-Fi. In the case of a used offer, complete delivery, proper release or transmission and the condition of the cables are added. A purchase from an account transfer is not eligible for the free month under the terms of recommendation.

Our classification: Classify as existing and used equipment; do not make a new purchase solely at the low offer price.

Important with this kit: Motorized Starlinks are not recommended for use in motion according to the current Help Center. The technical web page does not list separate kit content for this model; original documents and the specific offer are decisive.

Scope of delivery according to the model page

The model page does not mention a separate kit list. Check the furnishing manual and when buying especially terminal, router, matching cables, power supply and the included holder.

Starlink Enterprise

Fast company location with its own network technology

Kit for installation flexibility with 50 m cable, separate power supply and connection of own network devices.

The enterprise kit is aimed at location-based business applications. Its practical difference is the structure: a 50-meter-long enterprise cable facilitates the connection between a favorable antenna location and building technology. Added to this are power supply, power supply holder, a 5-m Ethernet cable and fastening material. A Starlink Wi-Fi router is not included in the listed kit list.

The terminal is described with 594 × 383 × 39.7 mm, 110° field of view, IP67 and an average consumption of 75 to 100 watts. An own terminal weight is not specified in the archived Enterprise data sheet. Even if the dimensions fit the standard 4 family, we do not take their 2.9 kg as a supposedly proven enterprise value.

For companies with their own firewall, own access points or several building areas, direct network integration can be the deciding factor. However, the hardware does not replace a check of the required IP functions or the appropriate service tariff. Prioritization, guaranteed services and the role as a backup line must fit separately to the operation.

Our classification: The first comparison option for a permanent company installation with existing network technology.

Important with this kit: No free service month is promised for business/priority tariffs here: The currently tested recommendation conditions only name certain private household and travel tariffs.

Starlink Performance (GEN3)

Robust installation and flexible power supply

Robust performance terminal with 140° field of view and advanced power supply for AC and DC input.

Performance GEN3 is designed for challenging environmental conditions, high vibrations and suitable use in motion. The terminal measures 609 × 396 × 40 mm and, according to the data sheet, weighs 5.2 kg. With a 140° field of view, a temperature range of −40 to +60 °C and up to 85 mm of snowmelt per hour, it is clearly positioned differently than the standard kits.

A central component is the extended power supply: The Advanced Power Supply supports 100 to 240 volt AC and 12 to 56 volt DC. The website also describes diagnostic functions, a LAN connection and a DC backup battery for uninterrupted operation. This is an architectural advantage for demanding installations; it is not a statement that such a battery is included in the scope of delivery.

The protection classes must be read with their conditions: IP69K is called with connected cables, IP68 without connected cables. Starlink calls for the kit an average of 75 to 100 watts. In the wind and speed specifications, the website and the data sheet differ from one another. Therefore, the documented hardware equipment serves as a basis for decision-making, not an acute peak number.

Our classification:Check when temperature, environmental influences, vibrations or a demanding power supply determine the use.

Important with this kit: The Gigabit development announced for 2026 does not occupy a Gigabit tariff available at every address today. The data for 270/280 km/h are also not congruent between the manufacturer sources.

Starlink Performance (GEN2)

Previous Flat High Performance

Shallow performance kit for permanent assembly; higher consumption range than GEN3.

Performance GEN2 was formerly known as Flat High Performance. The terminal is designed for permanent assembly and is offered with a wedge holder set. The antenna measures 575 × 511 × 41 mm and weighs 5.9 kg without cable. Together with the 25-m cable, the data sheet mentions 8.1 kg. A Wi-Fi router does not belong to the listed kit list.

With a field of view of 140° and up to 75 mm of snowmelt per hour, the kit remains relevant for robust or mobile installations. The protection rating is IP56, the temperature range −30 to +50 °C. The English data sheet describes the wind value as “survivable”: This is not the same as an explicit commitment that trouble-free operation is guaranteed at this wind strength.

The clearest ongoing difference from GEN3 is the manufacturer’s stated power range of 110 to 150 W. GEN2 can still make sense for an existing installation. For a new project, compare purchase cost, mount, cable route, power supply and expected operating hours together. The generation number alone does not establish an economic need to replace a working kit.

Our classification: Especially relevant for existing flat-high-performance systems and a comprehensible comparison with GEN3.

Important for this kit: Some original CAD bundles contain additional router or power supply files. Such files are not proof that the illustrated parts belong to the kit.

Which kit for which use? Concrete purchasing decisions

The following selection is an editorial orientation based on the hardware data. It assumes that Starlink actually offers the respective kit and a suitable tariff for your location. The decisive factor is not to collect as many technical maximum values as possible, but to solve the bottleneck of your own construction.

Mini Router, Router 3 and Integrated Wi-Fi: What’s the Difference?

Satellite reception and WLAN are two separate routes. The antenna connects your location to the Starlink network. The router then distributes the access in the house, in the vehicle or at the location of use. If only the WLAN is weak, another satellite terminal may not solve the actual problem at all.

More connected devices do not automatically mean more usable throughput per device. The mentioned client numbers are upper limits of the manufacturer. For several floors, a long floor plan or a guest Wi-Fi, location, Ethernet connection and the appropriate network structure are more important than a single square meter.

Mesh, Ethernet and range: three different questions

A high square foot indication in the datasheet doesn’t tell you how the signal comes through your walls. For several floors, a long building or a remote study, a planned distribution is crucial. First, the Internet access must arrive reliably on the router; then it is checked where additional WLAN coverage is needed. The note “up to 235 devices” describes a manufacturer’s limit, not 235 simultaneously trouble-free video conferencing.

The datasheets also distinguish between Starlink mesh compatibility and the connection of other network technologies. “No third-party mesh” means that a third-party mesh node cannot simply be treated as a Starlink mesh access point. It does not follow from this that an expressly provided Ethernet connection could not supply any other network technology. Decisive are the specific connection type, the operating mode of the router and the instructions of the selected kit.

For a permanent installation, the cabling should fit the location. The V5 datasheet recommends a wired connection for the mini router and calls shielded Cat5e or higher for other Starlink routers. For the connection to the mini, reference is made to matching mini accessories. A plug that fits mechanically into a socket does not yet guarantee an unchanged weather protection class.

Rain, frost, snow and heat: hardware for outdoor operation

With Starlink, often only the antenna and part of the cables are outdoors. Router and power supply may have other conditions. To mention a single type of protection for the complete kit would therefore be misleading. The table describes only the terminals; the values of power supplies and routers are in the complete technical data for each model.

Snowmelt is not a consumption guarantee

Mini calls up to 25 mm/h, V5 and the standard family up to 40 mm/h, Performance GEN2 up to 75 mm/h and GEN3 up to 85 mm/h. These are manufacturer data on the performance under the manufacturer’s conditions. They must not be interpreted as a measured guarantee for any type of snow, ice, wind or assembly. At the same time, the heating function explains why average consumption and current power consumption can be different.

Location remains important: a snowy tree or hidden line of sight is not cleared by the fact that the antenna surface is heated. Plan how to reach the facility safely if necessary, without having to do improvised work on the roof. For cleaning and maintenance, the respective installation and manufacturer instructions apply.

Do not confuse wind resistance and driving speed

The documents use different terms: The mini and the standard terminals are referred to as operational capability; the GEN2 performance sheet calls “survivable”. In the case of GEN3, the 270-/280-km/h data differ between the overview page and the table. From these figures, a uniform ranking list of safe vehicle speeds cannot be derived.

A mobile installation requires a suitable attachment and a clearance for hardware, tariff and location. The wind value of a mounted terminal is not a promise of a loose table stand on the vehicle. Conversely, a power supply suitable for outdoor use does not replace the correct execution of cable bushings, plug connections and strain relief.

Assembly, cable and power supply: What you should plan before buying

A kit can be technically suitable and still fail at the wrong assembly location. Therefore, plan the clear sky view first, then the route to the router and the power supply. The Starlink app supports location check and orientation. The terminal needs a suitable outdoor location; a photo on a workspace illustrates the product comparison and is not an installation manual.

Mini at 12 Volt, USB-C or Powerstation

“12 Volts” alone is not a complete compatibility statement. The mini input is specified as 12–48 V and 60 W. For the official USB-C accessory, the datasheet requires a 100W USB-PD source with at least 20 V/5 A. The right cable, its length and a stable supply are part of this. A connection with high nominal capacity but inappropriate voltage profile is not a suitable solution.

As a clear energy example, 25–40 W over eight hours result in 200–320 Wh. A mobile power supply must additionally cover conversion losses and other consumers. For Mini X, the separate router is added. The invoice is a planning range based on the mini data sheet, not a measured daily consumption.

Starlink while driving: hardware, tariffs and country rules

“Mobile” can mean two different things: use the kit in changing locations while stationary or operate an active connection while driving. For the second variant, Starlink specifies additional requirements. According to the support text reviewed on September 17, 2026, Roam, Local Priority and Global Priority support the use in movement up to 100 mph and 160 km/h at authorized locations. This tariff limit is not an assembly release for any hardware.

As supported hardware, Starlink lists Mini, Standard 4, Standard 4 X, Performance GEN2 and Performance GEN3. V5 and Mini X are not separately mentioned in this list. With the Mini X, a release cannot be derived solely from the similar mini-terminal; the concrete kit and the structure must be clarified. Motorized terminals such as standard with motor and performance GEN1 explicitly do not recommend Starlink for this use.

For vehicle and boat owners, data area and billing are added. Support describes an ocean mode that remains on after activation until it is manually deactivated, with billing per GB. Exceeding data limits without additional data can limit the connection on the ocean. These rules belong in the planning before departure, not only at the first connection problem.

Source and ongoing update: Starlink Help for Moving and Authorized Locations

Power consumption: What does the hardware cost during operation?

The demand for electricity does not make a favorable monthly tariff a favorable overall solution. For the following comparison we expect 24 hours daily, 365 days and assumed 0.35 €/kWh. This is a transparent example. You can change your operating time and your electricity rate in the Electricity Cost Calculator at the top.

*Mini X without quantified additional consumption of the additional router. Example values do not contain a separate rest plan. The support article describes consumption data as average AC input power including system components; the specific datasheet ranges and kit conditions remain relevant.

The official sources differ from the Mini: the data sheet mentions 25–40 W, the current help center 20–40 W. The hardware tables and the default setting of the computer use 25-40 W. Alternatively, the support area 20-40 W can be selected for the mini-kit in the computer. For V5 and Performance GEN3 we use their model-specific datasheets. Temperature, snowmelt, load and network equipment can change actual consumption.

For a new purchase, the question makes sense: What concrete advantage do I get for the additional consumption? A more suitable router, a long cable path or robust power supply can justify it. Replacing an existing, functioning device solely for power-saving reasons, on the other hand, requires an invoice including purchase and accessories.

Average and Sleep Mode: the supplemental support values

Starlink support describes the values as average AC input power including terminal, Wi-Fi router, power supply and cables. In a correspondingly described complete system, the supplied router is therefore not added a second time. Separately added network technology and a different power supply, on the other hand, must be considered separately. In the case of Mini X, the additional router is not clearly quantified in the available consumption values.

Sleep is not turned off. A system with 20 W still consumes 0.48 kWh per day. The table only extrapolates this state to one year for comparison; it does not claim that the device provides full active Internet operation during this time. Anyone who wants to calculate a time profile must know which state is actually present in the other hours. The example calculation “eight hours active” alone does not assume any additional consumption for the remaining time.

Three comprehensible energy examples

The battery is planned in watt hours, the power supply in voltage and available power. A large battery with inappropriate USB-PD profile can be unsuitable despite high capacity. Conversely, a powerful 100W output does not yet say how many hours its battery can power a terminal. In the case of solar, the daily actually usable generation is added; the rated power of a module alone is not a daily yield.

Is an exchange worthwhile solely because of lower electricity costs?

A meaningful comparison starts with the actual consumption difference and the complete conversion costs. Example: Assuming 30 W less power consumption save 262.8 kWh or €91.98 per year at €0.35/kWh for continuous operation. If a change including accessories and assembly costs an additional 300 €, then a payback period of about 3.3 years results purely mathematically. All three values are calculation assumptions, not offers for a particular kit.

For a camping kit that is only occasionally switched on, the financial advantage is significantly smaller; there, packing size and battery life can be more important. At a company location, on the other hand, failure safety, a longer cable path and the existing network technology must also be evaluated. A mere comparison of the wattage does not yet provide a complete decision.

Buying Starlink hardware: These seven points prevent mis-purchases

1. Check the exact kit names in the offer. “Standard” alone does not reveal for sure which router, which power supply and which cables are included.
2. assessment location before purchase. Without a sufficient clear view, even more expensive hardware does not automatically become reliable.
3. Rate router and antenna separately. Reception problem, Wi-Fi gap and tariff limitation are different causes.
4. View the hardware offer at your address. A data sheet page guarantees no availability, no free kit selection and no fixed purchase price.
5. Purchase, rent and additional costs differ. The specific offer must clearly indicate hardware, possible fees, accessories and tariff. “No upfront costs” is not automatically a free hardware purchase.
6. For used equipment, check transmission and completeness. An incomplete or improperly released kit is not a good offer, even if the price looks low.
7. Open recommendation advantage before ordering. The free month applies under conditions for new accounts and direct Starlink orders. It cannot be transferred across the board to dealer and second-hand purchases.

Accessory budget: What can go beyond the carton content

The provided stand is not automatically the final attachment for roof, wall or vehicle. First check which bracket belongs to the exact terminal and whether it is intended for the planned location. This is followed by cable path, building introduction, train relief and the suitable space for power supply and router. If a cable extension or another router is necessary, this belongs in the total bill before the purchase.

• Fixed house installation: matching exterior support, sufficiently long open cable path, interior location for the router and a professionally executed building introduction.
• Mobile construction: Safe transport solution, compatible power supply, suitable connection cable and fitting for the operating case.
• Own network: Router or firewall, access points, required Ethernet cables and the associated power supply.
• Business/Backup operation: documented switchover concept, suitable tariff and, if necessary, a suitable additional power reserve.

Used Purchase: Test Model Generation and Transmission First

For a used system, the exact model identity is more important than a fuzzy designation such as “Starlink Standard”. Please provide a photo of the nameplate and full delivery. Check if router, cable and power supply belong to this generation and if accessory damage is visible. A high shipping weight specification or a CAD file with additional parts does not prove a complete carton content.

In addition, the installation must be properly cleared for the intended account transfer. These Terms of Recommendation exclude account transfers, merchant and reseller purchases from the free month described here. A supposedly cheap purchase should therefore not be counted with an advantage to which he is not entitled according to the conditions.

Detect error before you buy more expensive hardware

One service month free: How the recommendation link fits the hardware purchase

The recommendation advantage is a service month as a credit, not a flat-rate discount on the terminal. According to the current Starlink Help Center, eligible new customers must order via a referral link directly on starlink.com, activate the kit and remain subscribed for at least two months. The first month is paid; in the second month, the balance is charged against the invoice. Therefore, a missing immediate deduction on the hardware price at the checkout is not a contradiction.

Excluded according to Starlink kits from resale, retail or account transfer. Relevant are the current official recommendation conditions. The links we use contain the same recommendation code as the other Starlink guides. We can get an advantage through a legitimate recommendation; this does not affect the documented differences and limitations of the hardware.

What tariffs does the current recommendation help call?

At private household, the provided support stand lists the offers Lite, private household, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and Max. For Travel 100GB, 300GB and Unlimited are mentioned. The fact that a tariff appears in another help text for use in motion does not automatically entitle it to the recommendation program: Roam 50GB is listed in the movement aid, for example, but not in this list of recommendation credits.

Why is there no hardware discount in the checkout? Because the advantage is only implemented as a service credit in the customer account. The first monthly benefit is paid. After confirmed eligibility, the credit will be charged with the next invoice in the second month; Starlink announces a confirmation e-mail for this. In the preview of the next invoice, the advantage can be controlled.

A rigid booking day “exactly 30 days after activation” is not promised in the present text. The robust wording is therefore “second month credit” under the mentioned conditions. Keep the order and confirmation documents and check the invoice preview and Starlink support in case of ambiguity, instead of inferring an error from a lack of immediate deduction alone.
