This sounds more interesting than it actually is. Starlink routers, provided with the standard service, support Eero-like mesh networking for use in larger homes.

It would be cool if this was some sort of multi-dish arrangement, but it is not.

Must be a quiet night - 9 points to get on the front page is pretty unusual.

What's interesting about it? Wifi Mesh networks have been around for ... more than a decade?

It’s just a mesh router, they’ve been around for years. I don’t get it.

I thought it was going to be something about Starlink making mesh networks so they could still be used in an internet shutdown… but no. It’s just a WiFi router.

I was hoping they'd finally added a feature to their dishes to allow terrestrial interconnect.

So when my dish can't getting the best line-of-sight view to the satellites it can piggyback on my many neighbor's better connections to improve mine.
