Starlink Generation 2 to Generation 3 Upgrade

Can you easily upgrade from Starlink Generation 2 to Generation 3?

Upgrading from a Generation 2 (or earlier) Starlink system to a Generation 3 is feasible. Yes, it’s possible to upgrade to a Generation 3 (Gen 3) dish and router, which come with several enhancements. The Gen 3 dish features a sleek design, improved efficiency, and easier installation compared to the Gen 2. It includes a detachable kickstand for manual alignment but does not come with an integrated mounting pole. The Gen 3 router offers better performance and range than the Gen 2 router, is integrated with the Gen 3 dish, and provides Wi-Fi 6 capabilities and Ethernet connectivity.

However, this upgrade requires new hardware, including a roof mount, as the mounting system has changed between Gen 2 and Gen 3. While the existing cable can still be used, new connectors are needed, as the setup is not plug-and-play. Upgrading can also improve reliability, as the Generation 3 dish does not have a motor like the Gen 2. Over time, Generation 2 hardware may age and potentially fail, making replacement through Starlink Support challenging.

Why Upgrade to Generation 3?

Generation 3 offers improved reliability, slightly faster speeds (though the difference may be subtle for users), and enhanced WiFi coverage. Additionally, it features built-in Ethernet, eliminating the need for an Ethernet adapter. Whether for home or business use, upgrading ensures you maintain the highest level of connectivity and service.

Change in Cabling

Upgrading from Gen 2 to Gen 3 is simpler than you might think. Most of your existing cabling can be reused which can be a hassle to replace! Only new connectors are needed to ensure compatibility with the upgraded dish, and swapping them out is a straightforward step in the process.

New Mount Required

The Gen 3 dish requires a new mount due to changes in the mounting system from Gen 2 to Gen 3. This new mount ensures the dish is optimally positioned for improved performance. Note that a mount is not included with the Generation 3 dish.

Make the Transition Today

Enjoy a seamless, efficient upgrade to Starlink Generation 3 with minimal disruption. Experience faster speeds and more reliable long term connectivity, all with a straightforward service upgrade that leverages your current cabling infrastructure. Make the switch today!

Cohen has been wonderful to work with, excellent communication and service. Never tried to sell things we didn't need, just listened to our concerns and helped us get what we needed. So glad we were able to find someone reliable and local to assist with our internet needs.

I could not speak more highly of Cohen, turning up on time(or earlier) for all appointments, and installing Starlink without any fuss. I would not hesitate to recommend Cohen should you require his great service.

Starlink Install Gippsland provided excellent service in installing my Starlink kit. They went out of there way to demonstrate the Starlink operation at my place before I committed to the purchase. I found them to be professional and thorough, throughout the entire process. 5 Stars to Cohen and his team.

From my initial contact with Cohen, he delivered what he promised. He installed it on time and the installation was faultless. The quote was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and will get him to install an extender on my shed when it is completed.

We were having issue with Telstra and Cohen came out and installed all our equipment & booster for studio in a timely & professional manner and guided us through the whole process ,would recommend him highly to anyone thinking about a Starlink setup..
Jenny Smith | Port Albert
I cannot rate Cohen highly enough. We have been experiencing difficulties with NBN reception for some time. After a recent long term power outage where we had no internet or mobile reception for 4 days I decided to ditch the NBN. I reached out to Cohen after completing a google search for installers of Starlink. The installation went smoothly, and I am now enjoying high speed internet without any issues. I will also maintain internet and mobile communications if there is another power outage as we can simply plug the modem into our generator and everything will be back on line.
