Starlink Pre-wire

We are in the process of getting settled in our new 2026 Paradigm 310RL
While I was excited about the pre-wire for the starlink gen 3 dish, I'm now not sure I'll use it. The one data port is conveniently located in the garage. The other is located on the underside of the stand alone cabinet as you walk in the door. The ac outlet is also mounted on the underside of the cabinet.

This gives you the opportunity of locating the router and power supply either on the shelf or the counter top below. In either case, the wires for both are either in front of or handing down making a very unsightly installation.

I'm looking for suggestions/options however I'm thinking of just leaving the router and power supply in the basement. Sad not to use the port but I just can't see how to make a clean and neat install. I even thought about a wall mount kit, but decided I'd rather not drill into the back splash.

The wall mount might be best in the basement!

Thx,
Ken

The implementation of the Starlink Prep on the 370FB does not allow permanent installation as the slide would interfere with any attempt to wall mount the power supply and router.

Before we moved to a Starlink Mini (we like to boondock, so using 12v vs 120v is important) I would simply leave the Gen 3 router in the passthrough. Worked great. I used this method for Zoom/Team calls, before I retired. Never an issue with lack of coverage.

FYI...The starlink Mini, has the router built into it. I really like mine, except when trees are overhead. When I do encounter trees, I have been able to use the sunroof mount (Suction cup mount) in my truck and get a signal. I just run the cords out to my truck. I use the flag pole buddy which mounts to the ladder all other times. Works great.

We found keeping the router in the pass through is the most convenient. Our 2026 Avenue 23ML has the new Starlink connections and we have the extra short antenna cord for the inside connection, but prefer the extra counter space.
 
It's a little off subject, but it may be time to check out the new Amazon "LEO" satellite system. There are 3 options for antennas and speeds.
