Starlink Generation 2 to Generation 3 Upgrade
Had a Starlink Gen 2 Failure? Get Back Online with a Seamless Gen 3 Upgrade!
Upgrading from a Generation 2 (or earlier) Starlink system to a Generation 3 is feasible and offers 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. Additionally, the Gen 3 router offers better performance and range, supports Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, and features 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, reducing the risk of mechanical failure. Over time, Gen 2 hardware may age and fail, making replacement through Starlink Support challenging. That’s where we come in!

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.
