Starlink DC

I moved my Starlink to 12v DC on my RV. I did get a GL iNet installed with an ATT SIM and a T-Mobile SIM. Deleting the starlink router and converting it to 12v makes the system complete.

Wattage goes from 60+ Watts to 30+ Watts on DC. Not half but close. The whole kit reduces the space needed and everyone connects to the gl iNet router and the router figures it where to get Internet and has failover. Internet just works. Pep wave is nice but costs a lot more and gl iNet has most of the features and works well. Good open source software and just works. I use the lower end routers with wiregaurd VPN to make it look like I'm home from anywhere in the world.
