It is about the size of a laptop, weighs 2.43 pounds, and runs on 25 to 40 watts, which means it can travel in a backpack and run from a vehicle outlet or a portable power station. Set it somewhere with a clear view of the sky, plug it in, and you have internet in places cable, fiber, and cell service do not reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mg-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eStarlink Mini Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eDish Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e11.75 x 10.2 x 1.45 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e2.43 lb (2.56 lb with kickstand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eAntenna\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eElectronic phased array, 110 degree field of view\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eBuilt-In WiFi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eWiFi 5 (802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac), dual band, 3x3 MU-MIMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eWiFi Coverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eUp to 1,200 sq ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eDevice Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eUp to 128 devices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eEthernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e1 latching LAN port with Starlink Plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003ePower Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e25 to 40W average\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003ePower Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e12 to 48V DC, 60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eWeather Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eIP67 with the included cable and plug installed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003e-22°F to 122°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eWind and Snow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eOperates in 60+ mph wind, melts up to 1 in of snow per hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eSecurity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eWPA2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eService\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eRequires a Starlink service plan, sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDish and Router in One Panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder Starlink kits use a dish outside and a separate router inside. The Mini combines both, so there is one piece of hardware to carry and one cable to run. The built-in dual-band WiFi 5 router covers up to 1,200 square feet and handles up to 128 devices, which is plenty for a campsite, an RV, a cabin, or a job site trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Power Draw for Off-Grid Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini averages 25 to 40 watts and accepts 12 to 48V DC power directly. The kit includes a wall power supply and a 49-foot DC cable, and the dish can also run from a vehicle outlet, a portable power station, or a solar and battery setup with the right cable. Starlink sells a USB-C adapter cable separately for use with USB-C power banks rated at 100W (20V\/5A) or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Weather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its cable and plug installed, the Mini carries an IP67 rating for dust and water. It operates from -22°F to 122°F, stays online in winds over 60 mph, and warms itself to melt up to an inch of snow per hour. The kickstand sets it on the ground or a table in seconds, and the included pipe adapter and flat mount handle a more permanent install on a pole, roof, or rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetup in Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the Starlink app, activate a service plan, and place the dish where it can see open sky. The app uses your phone camera to check for trees and buildings that would block the signal, then guides you as you aim the dish by hand. There are no motors to fail and no tools required for a basic setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdding Your Own Router or Mesh System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini has one Ethernet port, so you can wire in a computer, a switch, or your own router when you need more WiFi coverage than the built-in radio provides. It also works with Starlink mesh units.

Internet service comes from Starlink on a month-to-month plan that you activate in the Starlink app or on your Starlink account. Roam plans are built for travel and portable use, and Starlink offers a low-cost standby option for the months the dish stays packed away. Plan names, data allowances, and pricing change often, so check Starlink's current plans for your region before your first trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Starlink Mini need a subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The dish only works with an active Starlink service plan, which is sold separately and billed monthly by Starlink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Starlink Mini run on a battery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It averages 25 to 40 watts and accepts 12 to 48V DC input, so portable power stations and vehicle power systems run it well. Powering it from a USB-C power bank requires Starlink's USB-C adapter cable, sold separately, and a power bank that delivers at least 100W at 20V\/5A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast is the Starlink Mini?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarlink lists download speeds over 100 Mbps for the Mini. Speeds vary with your location, your plan, network demand, and how clear the dish's view of the sky is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use my own router with the Starlink Mini?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Connect your router or mesh system to the Mini's Ethernet port. The Mini also pairs with Starlink mesh units if you prefer to stay within one app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Starlink Mini work while driving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarlink supports in-motion use in select areas and on eligible plans. Check your plan details and use a secure vehicle mount, since the included kickstand is made for stationary setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Mini different from the standard Starlink dish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini is roughly half the size, draws less power, and has the WiFi router built in. The standard dish is the better fit for a permanent home install, while the Mini is the one to pick when portability and low power use matter most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.mg-desc{color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc h2{font-size:24px !important;line-height:1.25 !important;margin:28px 0 12px !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc h3{font-size:19px !important;line-height:1.3 !important;margin:22px 0 8px !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc p,.mg-desc li{font-size:17px !important;line-height:1.6 !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc ul{padding-left:22px;margin:0 0 12px;}\n.mg-desc a{color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:0 0 18px;font-size:16px;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs td{padding:10px 12px;border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.35);vertical-align:top;line-height:1.45;color:inherit;font-size:16px !important;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs td:first-child{font-weight:700;width:34%;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.08);}\n.mg-desc .mg-included{border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.35);border-radius:8px;padding:6px 18px 10px;margin:24px 0;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.06);}\n.mg-desc .mg-included h3{margin-top:12px !important;}\n@media (max-width:768px){\n.mg-desc h2{font-size:22px !important;}\n.mg-desc p,.mg-desc li{font-size:16px !important;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs,.mg-desc .mg-specs tbody,.mg-desc .mg-specs tr,.mg-desc .mg-specs td{display:block;width:100%;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs tr{border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.35);border-radius:8px;margin:0 0 10px;overflow:hidden;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs td{border:none;font-size:15px !important;padding:8px 12px;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs td:first-child{width:100%;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs td::before{content:attr(data-label);display:block;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.06em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.65;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:2px;}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Starlink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889345998934,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/9463\/2534\/files\/CopyofUntitledDesign_4.png?v=1789875078"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.modemguides.com\/collections\/starlink-internet.oembed","provider":"ModemGuides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
