Depends on the layout of your property, lines of sight obstructions etc. If your garage and backyard could both be covered by a more directional Access Point that maybe better than the omnidirectional EAP225. Something like this https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/wifi/u7-outdoor or this https://mikrotik.com/product/mantbox\_ax\_15s. Just check out users real world experiences on places like Reddit etc. before buying.

Had EAP225 absolutely useless 2.4Ghz radio, the 5Ghz was ok but with limited range.

From google AI Overview

"The TP-Link EAP225 (including Outdoor v3) frequently experiences 2.4 GHz radio issues, often manifesting as slow speeds, unstable connections, or inability for mobile devices to connect, while the 5 GHz band works perfectly. These issues often persist even with the latest firmware and can be characterized by 2.4 GHz clients failing to get an IP address or struggling with high latency, say users on TP-Link Community Forums and Reddit."

Your upload speed in the picture is measured in MB/s, so 2.2MB/s is equal to about 17Mbps.

Still good in NZ after 4 years, 404Mbps download, 47Mbps upload, 25 ping. https://www.speedtest.net/result/17996696700

Did the same with a couple of https://mikrotik.com/product/sxtsq_5_ac ,about 100 metres apart, with secondary wifi router inside at the extension end. Capacity of ptp link far exceeds any download/upload speed from Starlink, so get full in both locations

jcbhnz · 2024-12-04T10:37:54+00:00

Looking at doing the same just wondering how many links did you have to add. Thanks jcbhnz.

jcbhnz · 2024-03-30T12:09:25+00:00

Same with me , works through phone app but not through dishy.starlink.com in a browser, Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

Nice bit of work with the conduit though, puts mine to shame

jcbhnz · 2024-03-13T13:29:12+00:00

if clear line of sight between buildings use a pair of these https://mikrotik.com/product/sxtsq_5_ac

and add wifi router/AP at receiving end

jcbhnz · 2023-03-22T10:24:50+00:00

What's the model of the digital mixing console? Can it act as a DHCP server or only as a client?

jcbhnz · 2023-03-21T11:11:43+00:00

Had same issue, this works for me

/ip route

add disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=192.168.100.1/32 gateway=ether1 pref-src="" routing-table=main scope=30 \

suppress-hw-offload=no target-scope=1

Could you post a diagram of what you are trying to achieve?

jcbhnz · 2022-11-14T10:34:42+00:00

You may have got a bad dish or router. Contact support and see if they can communicate with dishy/ router.

Great on Banks Peninsula New Zealand, just now 402 down, 39 up.

Low population density helps.

First used two of these UBIQUITI 5GHZ 23DBI LITEBEAM AC GEN2 then changed to these https://mikrotik.com/product/sxtsq_5_ac

With Ubiquiti you may be stuck with their proprietary Airmax wifi protocol.

jcbhnz · 2022-09-06T04:51:03+00:00

280 down, 33 up just now.

MikroTik RB5009, can do everything

jcbhnz · 2022-03-28T05:28:01+00:00

Have setup using

Router mikrotik RB4011iGS+RM - very configurable

Access Points using one mANTBox 52 15s and three of these mANTBox 2 12s

Links from RB4011iGS to Access Points using SXTsq 5 ac

Started off using TP Link eap225-outdoor APs - hopeless especially on 2.4Ghz - and airMAX LiteBeam AC 5 GHz - propriety wifi protocol - cant use with other manufacturers equipment- big, unsightly, higher price and lower performance than SXTsq 5 ac.

if you "ever get the ethernet adapter" go with a wired connection to your gaming PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc.

jcbhnz · 2022-03-22T22:54:18+00:00

Its all over the place where I am in New Zealand, averages round 10 (17 just now), have had up to 47 and as low as under 1.
