Hi all,
I have a 44v14 that has a starlink plug in the cargo where the water pannel is and another in the forward bedroom left closet. Doesnt seem to
do anything or isnt connected. Pulled cover in bedroom and nothing is hooked up to the faceplate. Is this optional or was it just not hooked up?

I saw a quick video showing this, but it never said what is does. Is it simply a barrel plug, that you put the starlink cable into? It should have been routed through a upconverter, as 12v is not enough to power the starlink mini, when you use the 15 meter cable. You will need 36v for that length of cable.

We have a Starlink connector in our pass through cargo area (on the camping side). With a 30-foot cable, I can run it through to the other side of the cargo area and down the access hole (near Nautilus), under the camper to the ladder, where I plan to connect Starlink antenna on mast attached to the ladder. The other end of the Starlink is near the coffee bar inside our Avenue 23ML, where I position my router near an AC plug. I would have preferred the antenna connection on the other side of the cargo hold (by the Nautilus system) for quicker access but this still works for us.

So you have prior Alliance without the new Starlink plug? I am in the same boat...ours in a 2023 model.

Before I moved to Starlink mini (router is inside the mini) I used a Gen 2 (the one that has a motor and moves itself to find sats). I found that plugging the rounter into AC power in the passthrough...next to Nautilus area...that was all I has to do. Having the router in the passthrough provided plenty of coverage inside the RV. Have you tried this vs bring the cable into your RV and then using router inside?
