My total was only about 125 feet. I finally received my 150' cable which reaches into the house where it connects to the Starlink router. After that, Ethernet specs take over, so I'm good. I run about 75 feet of CAT6 cable from the Starlink router to the core router in my home network. On the heat issue; yes, heat can cause routers to drop off.

The speedtest in the app works pretty well. I usually use Ookla (speedtest.net) and these two are usually pretty close.

I had the same issue which was particularly vexing since the accessories I needed to light it up were delayed (post adapter, ethernet adapter, 150' cable) I was able to light it up after 6 weeks once I got the ethernet adapter. But I did have to pay for a month and a half before I could activate. Irritating. Also, I'm still waiting for the longer cable, so I have the router in a drywall bucket half way. I ran power and CAT6 to the bucket, so it works, but still irritating. I ordered the stuff on February 20th and still don't have the cable. Its been pushed off again to mid-may.

I ended up putting the router and ethernet adapter in a drywall bucket halfway to the dishy. I ran an AC extension cord and a Cat6 cable to the bucket as well. The Cat6 cable connects to the Asus RT- AX3000 router in my home network. This is a temporary move while waiting for my 150 ft cable from Starlink. It works fine.
