RV FEATURE
The Starlink Mini is by far the easiest and quickest system to set-up. There are only two components: the dish and the small power supply. Just connect the two with the very flexible cable and plug it into a 240V outlet and you’ re done. The secret is that the wi-fi router is contained in the dish module itself. How Starlink has managed to squeeze all this into such a small package is extraordinary. It did have me wondering if this integration would affect performance. More on that later.
It is very easy to manually align the Home and Mini dishes using the Starlink app.
TIME TO GET ONLINE
Once all systems were connected and turned on, they each took about the same amount of time to link into the Starlink system and establish stable communications with the network. Depending on when you last used the system and if any software updates are required, this can take five to 10 minutes.
Once set-up, both the Home and Mini may require the dish to be aligned properly. This is achieved with the app using a simple graphic. It takes no time at all. The old Gen 2 will align itself, which is handy if you have it mounted on a tall pole or other position that is difficult to access.
