3.2023 Update - System has been running without issues. Blazing fast and faster than another location using ATT fiber. Recently Up charged for being in a congested area until new satellites are in place. See they also decreased other locations costs. EERO mesh network now has 7 units working.covering the property. Learned from EERO that that you can mix models on the same network, of course with expected limitations as to their design speeds, but they work. Been picking up 2nd hand ones and all is good. A neighbor down the road installed one after seeing mine and it is working for him.

Update Amazingly I found a local, only an hour and half away, installer who is a determined fellow and I highly recommend for northern WI. He took pictures of my installation and said it was the most creative he had ever seen. Really ?, who wraps the junction in plastic wrap and keeps in a tool box, mostly closed supported by a chair on a slope area with the router in two plastic bags tied to a bench for weather protection.?Powered from a 50 ft extension line. I learned that the magic length number is 300 + some feet, maybe 320 ,. He spliced the line from the dish, which was relocated to the roof. The roof pitch is 11, so every 11 inches it rises 11 inches, a young mans game as I am past the ability to climb that one. He indicated there could be snow challenges but if that happens there is no way to address in winter. He was also a EERO dealer as well as Sonos and solved all of my network needs. We did replace the main Eero conection unit. I have 5 serving the property. The new line was also used to lengthen the router line. The wire is UV resistant and I believe a better grade than the original. All is good and we are in testing mode. The dish had only 5 seconds of interrruption in the first half hour compared to the past which was close to 2 minutes. There is still obstructions from trees but the range has been expanded from the impact of being on a dock and being blocked by trees on the land side. If there are more problems I will let you know. I did check out the great comments from Media Services and their utube videos. I liked his unit to shoot across long distances. Anyone facing WI challenges and want the contact name of the installer let me know. Enjoy the summer. Norm

Great, thanks for letting me know...

May 13 update What I have learned. Putting a power booster on the line to the router or on the second line from the router ( was looking to connect to my erro system) Failed. I used the beta app in the Starlink app to test reception and the best reception came in with the provided parts. In essence it can not be pushed beyond its original design. As a stand alone small area provider it works super. High speeds etc. Trying to tie it into a network or expand the coverage have failed. It appears I might be getting better hand off between satellites. Maybe the recent launches I suspect the coverage area of the router changes during the day for tonight I was able to connect in my office which has not worked previously. I was setting up a hotspot with my phone and the computer auto connected to starlink and the work vpn. Amazing. Might be I am the only one home now. Love to see a whole house solution and improved satellite handoff, we will see when the leaves open for spring on the trees. At this point I am stopping my efforts to improve the coverage. I am out of ideas. Will continue to monitor the forum. Hope this helps others

I have a similar situation that keeps it off the house, fortunately I am using a dock on a lake. I have had to move 3 times to find the best location including when the snow was over 3 ft. 1. The lines are too short, the kit was built for a house and there are a lot of issues once you exceed their lengths. I acquired a line booster but have not installed it yet. The router is now outside wrapped in plastic facing one side of the house. Want to tie into a full house network. 2. the dish needs a 360 view, although it points north. I say the north was most important. I still get dinged for having trees on the lake side. Ideal would be middle of lake or in an open field Can get very good speeds but in a live chat, with no buffer, I can lose the connection for 10-15 seconds. Hear new satellite technology will provide a better hand off between satellites as they pass Keep moving it until you find best spot.

@Matthew Fitzner Thanks for sharing your insights. Will share results at a later point after I re-run the line.

Just thought I give an update on the system. Good news is the satellite is working, I have a temporary cable running from the junction box to the router which is propped against a high level window against the house. The router line is run attached to tree limbs from a shed. Naturally a storm came and two limbs fell on the line yanking the router to the ground which was then buried in snow storm. The router is well made. In this time gap I obtained a new error connection box and connected to the router. The unit shows on the app but is non functional. I am guessing the line is too long to power the erro. The prior erro no longer works. I am guessing the failure was likely in the router or possible the longer line I used to get it into the house. That is a to be determined. Next Steps - Any thoughts? The new erro was tested off site and set to bridge before installation. There are postings stating that moving it to bridge mode deactivates setting up a network. Anyone with experience ? I will reach out to erro as well. The system has sensitivity to changing cable distances between units. A possible power enhancer, if one existed might boost the signal strength, anyone seen or tired one? Once the snow melts, I will re-run the lines and try and make a direct shot to the house or as close as I can get using the original equipment. That likely means all parts will have to be outside. Protecting them is a TBD If starlink puts out a network system as an add on, that would be a game changer. There were some posts that one was in development. I do run an erro system at another location and it is a great product. It is almost plug and play. Welcome any comments or sharing of thoughts. Thanks

Thanks, the article helped. I am taking the erro to another location I will independently test it as a stand alone and as a bridge. I will let you know what happens. Thanks for the continual support.

Partial success.... online but no mesh network. Attached a new cat8, 100 ft. wire from the junction box of the satellite/ router lines in an outside shed location. My dish is on a dock in a frozen lake. Get best reception there. After both connected, verified with iphone starlink app, and with iphone game app that it was working. Takes awhile for the router light to stop blinking white and go solid white, which signals an active line. Had to order on amazon no one local had higher than a cat 5 or 6. Thanks to the poster to this forum who did the diagram of his lake location satellite.We can help each other....he used 100ft of cat 8 which appears to exceed the recommendation distance by Starlink which you might need to know at some point. Side note - Not all cat 8 is good so you have to be careful and read the reviews. Amazon prices were competitive. Next was getting the new cable up the the house with the 100ft. Ran the line, tied to tree branches as the snow drifts made this a challenge. Just hope some large mammal does not run into it. ERRO Mesh Network interface attempt.... the router initially was sitting by a glass door outside. Ran a cat 6 between the router and the error box....not working. Next directly connected the mesh box bypassing the starlink router as mentioned in the forums, not working.... Might try another day with a Cat 8.... Put the starlink router into a plastic bag and boxed in with two by fours and set on a furniture ledge propped against the house and outside a window. This will give it some weather protection. Getting it off the deck improved the service distance, but it does not cover the area of the erro mesh network. It forced us to centralize into rooms closest to the router. It is a temporary work around but for daily office work it is not good over an extend time, who wants to be a the kitchen table all day long? I noted the starlink is working on a mesh network product. If anyone finds an erro solution let me know. No real idea what started this chaos. I will get a cat 8 line and try to connect, that will say if it was a line failure issue or if it is a network conflict between starlink and erro. I suspect a conflict. It did give me an opportunity work outside in sub temperatures, often without gloves..... Hope this helps someone else.

Love the graphic, thanks. I will make some changes and see if I can get this fixed. Will update.

Restart did not work and re-reading the online material, one suggestion was to by pass the star link router and connect directly into the mesh system. When that was performed the light for the line went out on the electrical connection point where the rounter and satellite connect to power. Gen two appears to be the commercial system which 5times more expensive than the generation 1. Unless I am missing something. I will keep trying to re-configure the erro mesh. The last choice is moving the router out of the shed, attach to a tree/ladder and point towards the house. Need to keep it out of the snow and waterproof with plastic bags. My assumptions the router is not weather proof and I will need a longer extension line to supply power to the router.The existing lines will have to be dug out of 2-3 feet of snow to be moved for this configuration. Hopefully none in ice. Likely not be able to supply the whole house, just the part facing the router.

30-40 ft Was working on your first suggestion to disable the DHCP, which i switched to bridge mode. System is re-starting... thanks for staying with this today, I would not of know the next options. As you suggested, ramp slowly.

Update on the lost connection. The dish sits on a dock with unobstructed views, the cable runs to a shed where the router is that has a grounded circuit. A cable is connected to the router that connects a line to the house erro system. So on the third trip out in sub temps, I was able to get the satellite to connect to the router to then connect to my iphone. I disconnected the router and satellite connection, the joiner box lights up like before saying it recognizing the dish. Waited about 10 minutes,, then connected to the router..... Its alive!!! My iphone is connected. Next lets get it to the house. I connected the router to the cable that runs to the house erro system. I saw on the star link app that attempt to connect and a very brief message, that quickly appeared and disappeared saying to not use another router. Then it no longer attempted to connect again. I could not replicate it again..... Had to go back inside too cold. SO the problem is the router interface with erro. Any insights?

Thanks, I had to relocate this 3 times to get it to work and once completed has been flawless. This random shut down drives me nuts as I am work dependent on the internet and like working from the middle of nowhere. On my iphone now... Thanks

Fine this am, no satellite this pm. Checked all connections, did the on and off solution, pressed the reset button on the router. Our starlink router connects into an erro network which is working. Since the cables are buried under 2-3 ft of snow, very unlikely any damage to them. Power to router and system on. Satellite resets if power is shut off and on. Systems appears operationally. Wonder if this is a Russian attack on satellites???
