Starlink Ethernet Adapter for Wired External Network (01560575-001)

Product Information

Now that you have the required materials ready, let’s proceed to the next section where we will unbox the Starlink Ethernet Adapter and begin the setup process. If there are additional Ethernet ports on your Starlink router, repeat the previous steps to connect multiple devices.

By configuring the network settings to prioritize the Ethernet connection, you ensure that your device is utilizing the wired connection for its network activities. This can help improve network performance, reduce latency, and provide a more stable internet experience. The new adapter has a waterproof connector, a feature not present in the earlier versions of the Starlink terminals. The adapter connects the dish terminal to the Wi-Fi router, and the double-sided board contains connectors and an Ethernet circuit. Essentially, the adapter functions as a Dishy Ethernet + Power over Ethernet (PoE) pass-through and an Ethernet transformer. The second port is primarily for AUX and Ethernet, but the Ethernet transformer is now built into the adapter. The Starlink Ethernet adapter provides a wired connection to the Starlink terminal, allowing faster and more reliable internet access. Functioning of the Starlink Ethernet AdapterIf everything is correct, when connected to a testing device you should see that pairs 3-4 and 5-6 are reversed. That means the conversion is happening correctly from one wiring scheme to the other. Nonetheless, Starlink’s Ethernet Adapter is overall a great product that does what it’s supposed to without any noticeable issues.

Cost-effective – Starlink Ethernet may be a wired connection and require a complete setup of wires during installation. However, it saves equipment costs and offers the best value for your investment. Drill hole in siding and use provided silicone and split grommet to seal the hole on the exterior of the structure. Use low voltage ring and pass thru on the interior.My suggestion would be to upgrade to the High Performance hardware, so you can ditch the Starlink router and Ethernet Adapter completely. The Standard hardware wasn’t designed for anything too advanced, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Starlink intentionally limited the Ethernet Adapter in some way. Most customers aren’t relying on 1 gig home networks, or really any task that would push the Ethernet connection beyond 100 mbps. Reply
