Internet & Connectivity

• Starlink Gen 3

• Roof-mounted using the Trio Speedmount with magneticswivel hardware

• Powered by a 12 volt power supply controlled by a rocker switch

• Reliable internet connection wherever I travel

• Coverage across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico

• Allows me to stay connected for work and safety while on the road

• I mounted the dish on the roof using the Trio SpeedMount with magnetic swivel hardware

• Permanently mounting the dish by screwing or taping it to the roof is another option

• I rewired the router to run on a 12 volt power supply instead of 120 volt, which improves efficiency and eliminates the need to run the inverter

• I chose not to permanently mount the dish so it can easily be removed if needed

• Previously, I had to set up and take down Starlink every time I wanted internet, which quickly became inconvenient

• Now the dish stays mounted and I simply flip a switch to turn the system on and off

• Rewiring the router to run on 12V power is more efficient and allows me to leave Starlink running 24/7 without noticeable battery drain

• I use the Starlink Roaming plan, which provides unlimited data for $165 per month and can be canceled at any time

• There have been many times where my phone had no service for days, but with Starlink I was still able to stay connected

Hotspots or WiFi Boosters

• Cellular hotspots or signal boosters can improve internet access when cell service is available

• However, they rely on nearby cell towers and will not work in many remote areas where Starlink does

Public WiFi

• Using public WiFi at places like cafés or libraries is another option

• This requires traveling to locations with internet access and is not always reliable while on the road

Starlink Mini

• A newer, smaller dish option released after I installed the Gen 3 system

• It runs on 12 volt power and has a more compact design

• Trio also offers a compatible mount for the Starlink Mini

I wouldn’t be able to go off-grid the way I enjoy without Starlink. Having reliable internet wherever I travel has been a huge upgrade for working remotely and staying safe on the road. I definitely don’t miss the days of driving to cafés or libraries every day just to get internet.
