Routing Starlink cable

[ajg617]

Since they are now shipping with a 50 ft. cable, I'm trying to figure where I want to place the router to get to my flagpole buddy. Placing everything behind the pass thru is a tight run for a 50' cable. Haven't found many options for getting the cable out (I can do it through the Nautilus but again that doesn't give me much outdoor length) and then pulling it back in somewhere convenient especially when rain shows up. I know there was another thread with a couple of locations - but different rigs. How are folks getting cable outside?
Thanks,
John

My "modem" (which is not a modem) is on the valance, closest to the slide the cable goes out, through the seal (actually, below the seal in the water tray).

I was thinking about putting it behind the recliners - lots of unused floor space. No desk so we use the table on that side or I sit in the recliner and 'work'. Since we don't full-time and will set up and tear down at lots of sites on a given trip, wonder how much wear and tear the slide seal will get?

I run the cable through the seal each time I deploy Starlink. Since it's a through frame slide, I so the slide about 1/2 way out, snake the cable through, then finish running the side out. I push it through the seal to get the cable run, then lower it all the way to the bottom, where the drip tray is, and the finish running the slide out.

Reverse the process on teardown.

Do you have a wet bar, I mean wet bay? I put the router in there, the Starlink wire through the little trap door for the hose, and there is even a 110v receptacle there to plug the router in. Simple and we have amazing speed anywhere in our 2500RL and can make wifi calls in the rig or several sites away when outside.

There's a listing on here that shows how to hang it up in the basement but I just set it anywhere in the basement where there is a little room.

I stole that idea from a work camper at a state park in Texas.

I'm about to go out with our 2670MK for its first long trip, and my plan was simply to plug the router into the garage, thread the cable to the dish out through the hole in the bottom for water lines, and then just place my dishy where the tree cover is least. Since I've got a 110 outlet in the garage, shouldnt be a problem. Any reason why this shouldn't work?

I've got a 2970RL and my plan is to route the wire with the water line access hole and put the router in the passthrough storage as well. I do have a Flagpole Buddy for the dish though.

It will work fine, throughout the inside and outside around your rig. I have to put the dish somewhere around the campsite if we are in the trees. I have the shorter cable that came with the setup but purchased the 150 footer. I am using that one this week to get through the trees.

Found a pop-out 1-1/4 plastic plug in the back of the Nautilus. Ran the cable through that and secured with a screw-in romex clamp and some rubber wrapping. Cable runs between door seal and wall without impacting seals and I just coil and hang it on wall with hoses. Runs through the same access for cable and water. I attached the router to the back of the pass-thru wall with vinyl strapping and screws.

When I saw the 50ft cable came with it, I ordered the 75ft cable. Turns out I didn't need the long one. I route the cord in the hole where my hose enters the wet bay, but my Star Link router is mounted on the forward wall of the storage compartment right next to the way bay. I purchased a 3D printed wall mount for the router and the ethernet adapter clips on it as well. I ran a hard wire from the ethernet adapter to a 3rd party router I mounted on the wall behind my main TV. In the Star Link app, I bypassed the Star Link router so it only acts as a signal pass through now. I get much better speeds throughout the entire camper having the 3rd party router inside the camper compared to using only the Star Link router in the storage bay.
