Has anyone tried to boost the signal from a starlink wifi? We have a starlink unit in our camp but it is about 300 to 400 ft away from my trailer so I can't get a signal. Is it possible to boost the signal so it would reach out a lot farther? Or, pick up a weak signal and make it strong enough to use?

Thanks for any input.

Could you bury an ethernet cable? It's a long ways but might be an option. I ran an ether net cable to my shop for wifi out there.

For that distance you should use a wifi bridge. I have one in my shop. 350ft away, It was advertised to do up to 1.6km. The ones I have are 7 years old they have come down in price since. These are much cheaper but should do the same job Hopefully the link works. Used it with our old internet now using it with start link.

The round dish comes with an ethernet out port, but the new rectangle dish doesn't. Have to order an add on box if you want to run another router.

Did Elon do the same as every other ISP around here and over sell this thing already?

Very happy with ours always works don’t care much about speeds as long as works download hangs from 45-150mbps upload 8-15 so I feel like this is high speed for us out in the sticks
