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 or roof mounting. Additionally, the Gen 3 router offers better performance and range, supports Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, and features built-in 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, the swap from Gen 2 to Gen 3 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!

I Have A Gen 2 Starlink. Can I Upgrade To Gen 3?

Yes, but it is not a simple plug and play upgrade. You will need to:

  • Source new mounting hardware
  • Either run a new cable or get someone to terminate new connectors on an existing cable
  • Ensure the Starlink is aligned correctly

In cases where you do want to or need to upgrade, we suggest contacting us, and we can complete this all for you hassle-free!

What’s the difference between Starlink Gen 2 and Gen 3 cables?

The main difference between Starlink Gen 2 and Gen 3 cables is compatibility and connector design. Gen 2 cables use a round proprietary connector for the original Starlink rectangular dish and router, while Gen 3 cables use a different connector designed specifically for the latest standard dish and WiFi 6 router. These cables are not interchangeable between hardware generations, so it’s important to check your equipment before purchasing a replacement or extension cable.

Our Reviews
Shane MacFarlane | Drouin

Cohen and his team at Starlink Install Gippsland were an absolute pleasure to work with. They showed up right on the dot, delivered exactly what they promised, and took great care tidying up once the job was done. Their friendly nature made the entire process straightforward, from installing our Starlink system and Wi-Fi access points to setting up a point-to-point link for our sheds. If you’re seeking Starlink installation or even home networking and security camera solutions, it’s worth reaching out to Cohen and his crew. They truly know their stuff and they’re great to deal with.

Jonathan Law | Warragul

Cohen and his team installed Starlink and a hard wired Reolink security camera and recording system for us. He and has team were very responsive and helped us decide what was best for our circumstances. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of various options. Communication and rapid response and installation were both brilliant. I highly recommend Cohen and the team who made the process easy and seamless and avoided the typical issues that arise with home installs.

Cohen was great to deal with and, the whole experience was very easy and went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Cohen and would definitely use him again.

Naomi Bawden | The Summit Trafalgar

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.

John Richardson | Neerim South

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.

George Katiforis | Traralgon

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.

Cliff Hammond | Mirboo North

Cohen is obviously technically proficient, and does what he says he’ll do. Very satisfactory outcome.

John Dixon | Seaspray

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.

Dianne Dennis | Seaton

Jen Houghton | Hazelwood North

Cohen did a great job at our place cutomising the set up to our needs. His communication was great, installation was smooth and we are very happy with the outcome.

Andrew Hutchins | Fish Creek

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.
