RV FEATURE The Starlink Integration Kit from Cowfish Technologies takes the guesswork out of converting your system to 12V .
PERFORMANCE
The first thing I noticed and appreciated was the 12V conversion makes the set-up process much simpler . We only have one cable connection to make each time we set-up at a new location .
We don ’ t have to worry about connecting the Starlink router . In every other aspect , the system works exactly as it did with the original hardware , with some additional functionality . This is due to the features of the Cowfish router . It can use a mobile data connection with its own SIM card , which means you have a back-up network connection should the Starlink system be unusable or you ’ re stopping overnight and don ’ t need Starlink .
The Cowfish router is also preconfigured as a media server . You just connect a hard drive and stream any saved media to any connected device . Again , all the set-up instructions are included and are very simple to follow .
The other change you will notice is a greatly increased wi-fi signal range . The Cowfish router trounces the original Starlink router for wi-fi range .
As far as power consumption is concerned , I have observed a slight reduction of around 1-2A compared to running the system through an inverter . This may not sound like a lot but , when you ’ re free-camping for extended periods , even 1A per hour can make a difference to your power management .
