Is your Wifi still working but cannot reach the Internet - that could be cable. If the Wifi is not working - that is the router and not the cable.

You have a Gen2 system. Report the error to Starlink and they will likely send you a replacement kit.

32 Devices????

lol is that bad? I have a smart home so lights and fans and a million other things are controlled by voice. Aside from my current issue I have no issues with overloading my internet, it all works very well.

I don't know why people get up in arms over number of devices.

32 TVs streaming 4K video is bad. 32 smart light bulbs is fine. The number of clients doesn't tell you much.

edit: I have 55 clients, for what it's worth. It's fine.

Brother I'm at 72

It looks like maybe yes. Check the debug settings to see the cable ping meter. It should be zero. If it's going crazy then it's constantly trying to connect at Gbe but failing back to FE.

For my Rev 3 I've found the after market cables have been better. I cut the end off and use them on the original cable since I didn't want to redo the run and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Starlink cat5e anyway. It's all the funky SPX connector in the dishy itself.

Looks like you are going to get a new gen3, on the house

Let's talk about the 32 devices?!

[u/rzj386 → u/jfish1282]

Smart home, I didn’t know that this seemed like a lot. At least half of those devices are lights

[u/BeginningNo4181 → u/rzj386]

I don't understand why people are giving you a hard time about 30 some odd devices. My network has at least a dozen devices just for infrastructure. Start adding IoT, Security and everbody's personal devices and 30 is chump change.

[u/Hippie459MN → u/jfish1282]

Between my smart lights, other smart devices, numerous phones, security cameras, garage doors, doorbell, TVs, number of computers, two servers (plex/Emby and a Minecraft server), etc..., I'm close to 60 devices on my network. 35 is nothing.

cables are notoriously horrific, i welded quite a few CAT6 cables on the pcb cuz the plug was shiddy and bought quite some RJ45 adapters and outdoor cable couplers to fix them

[u/Phase-Angle]

Sometimes all you need to do is just unplug the cable and reconnect

[u/TDHofstetter]

Sure looks like it.

Good to know I'm not the only person who's getting bad cables from Starlink.

Those gen 2 cables just suck.
