Someone who has Starlink

I have had arlo for 20 years with no problems, however we just added Starlink. Which new system works hassle free with Starlink?

Don't have Starlink, but just used it on a cruise for the cameras...

Had no issues running Pros,Pro2,Ultra, Pro5, Q cameras thru it. Biggest problem would be thru-put.

If you get more than 3-4 MB up, it shouldn't be an issue to run one or 2 at a time. ( depends on camera )

What is your Up/Down speeds ?

@Kimvankinderman: - Several Starlink users have struggled to get the base station connected via ethernet.

Apparently there is an ethernet adapter available from Starlink, but that doesn't seem to work properly with the older "fast ethernet" protocol used by the Arlo hubs. If you run into that - then one solution is to purchase an ethernet crossover cable for the hub, another (IMO better) solution is to get a small inexpensive gigabit switch, and connect hub to the adapter through the switch.

Another path is to get an inexpensive wifi extender that has an ethernet port and use that instead of the Starlink adapter. Bridge the extender to the Starlink wifi, and then connect the hub to the extender ethernet.
