Starlink signal booster - mesh router?

ellectrastar

Just installed Starlink and the coverage isn’t as extensive in my home. I can see they do something called a mesh router which would boost the signal further, however I’m wondering if someone could recommend a cheaper option please?

The difference between a £143 Starlink node and, say, a £90 TP-Link mesh kit is fifty quid. That’s about the cost of filling a tank of petrol so why risk the hassle?

Because I’m looking for something less than £90?!!

How many unit you need?

You could buy an eero box from CeX or eBay they are excellent at pushing a signal around the house and you can add another unit easily if needed. They have a good user app too.

You may need to set it to bridge mode.

Google it.

£50 to fill a car? I'm £85. I either have a big fuel tank or someone's got access to a time machine.

Mine's £50 - combination of tiny tank on small Peugeot and Costco.

People tend not to put an appropriate value on their own time.

I use Deco mesh system. That gives me very good stable wifi throughout my home.

My ISP supplied me with an Eero and it was quite limited in its capabilities, so I replaced it myself and now have a pair of ASUS routers.

Mine are outside of the OP's budget (~£200 each) and so not in scope, but my point is to steer away from the Eero.

I tried a BrosTrend WiFi extender (£40 on Amazon) and it was OK for my purposes - I really just used it to convert WiFi to wired Ethernet for an old appliance.

One thing to note is that mesh systems do introduce latency and can periodically resync, so they're not good for gaming.
