Second kit also had a “faulty router” according to Starlink customer service. They refunded my first month service for all the trouble but for the price and the time spent going back and forth into town it’s not worth it.

I bought two months of service for $300 and literally could only use it for 5 days, rest of the time it had obstructions or other issues. Super super finicky

Can you use a wifi extender on a wifi6 router, yes make sure they are in the same generation these days, but you are alway better off connecting copper, or Fiber, since you are wasting have the RF bandwith to communcate from router to extender and then extender to computer, fhis can also add latency as the signals need to be processed by the extendet and then repeated, for UDP this is ok but for TCP this can slow you down as it uses ramp up based on timing and packet loss and confirmation, you also have a bit latency between the terminal and the satellites and then the sats to the Ground earth station, albeit leo far better then geo since you are going 30000 km addtional up and down if it were streight above you in zenith, someone going with a significant elevation angle would have to figure in a bit of additional distance based on the vector. So my take would be you are better to use a cable, then powerline or ubiquiti bridge, then maybe a wireless repeater as long as the wireless has seveeral bands then you can dedicate this to a connection. There is also the question of why do you need this instead of going direct computer to router, is it a large distance or are you just dropping connection, have you done a site survey looking at your neighbors if you are then you can offset the channel frequency to see if you achieve a better result, also make sure you are using 5.8 ghz and 6ghz. As there is more bandwidth and the carriers are larger so there is more throughput if able to achive the target MODCOD sceme. Guid luck
