from the drawing it looks like an straight connector, but your photo shows an angle between the body and the cable, making it wider. Not sure if will fit the 1/2” pipe. I will let the customer to order the adaptor asap. Thanks for your input.It does have a removable connector that is USB-C(ish) but realize the connector is still proprietary and is still bigger than an ethernet cablet. I'll include a stock photo I found online of the ends. The smaller end will plug into the dish. I won't say it won't work through 1/2" conduit, but I won't say it will. I think I did a 5/8" hole in my soffit for mine. I'm pretty sure the stock cable length is less than 100'. Maybe 70ish feet, just guessing and going off of memory.
You will need a network adapter. Get it ordered as soon as the store allows you, because they have been running behind on them. I only had to wait a few weeks for mine, others have waited longer. Yes, it's stupid to include internet with a router and no ethernet. You will have exactly one ethernet port coming from your starlink. If you need more, you'll have to use a switch.View attachment 129107
It can straighten out, you might have to tape it, but even so, with the connector itself I'm not sure if it will fit 1/2" conduit. I almost grabbed some 1/2" pvc and went to check, but my ladder is about 70' away and my back is bothering me today so I put it off. Pretty sure it would be a tight fit, if it will fit at all.from the drawing it looks like an straight connector, but your photo shows an angle between the body and the cable, making it wider.

Edit: is the cable fixed with that angle in the body, or it could bend a little for an straight position?
appreciated, but I will check if pass on my next visit. I already contact the customer, regarding ordering the connector. It looks like is in backorder. They are on the web at 6x the original price.

No problem. To get me by until I received mine I just purchased a wifi to ethernet adapter from Amazon. The speeds weren't great, and the cheap one I got was 2.4Ghz only, but it'll get you out of a pinch.appreciated, but I will check if pass on my next visit.

Same here. I really don't see any other starlink dishes in my area other than my own, yet I'm in a limited capacity area. I can't say I didn't see it coming. I knew going on that there would likely be price increases and usage restrictions over time, but what I didn't expect was those things combined with speed test on the range of 20Mbps download. At those speeds, my local wisp would be a better deal, albeit slightly, with the exception that I get consistently better upload speeds on starlink.I'm guessing the capacity is based on ground stations, as I can't imagine there are enough starlink dishes in my rural area to bring capacity to a limited status.
My speed has decreased over the past year, likely due to additional users being added. Still no reliable IPV6, still some dropouts. I am getting a little better speeds than you @ ~ 40 to 50Mbps down and 10 up, so it is still a big improvement over my old dsl. Still worth it for me, for now. If 5G is ever available to me, I might reconsider.Same here. I really don't see any other starlink dishes in my area other than my own, yet I'm in a limited capacity area.

I am curious to see if anyone actually got the $20 discount for being in an excess capacity area.
There are lots of free options for remote access still.I'll still be on cgnat, no different than now, but from what I see they offer public ip addresses to certain business accounts. I may look into this.
Yeah, I use zerotier for cameras. Works great, but no full access to my lan from the outside. I will have to do some learning on ipv6, as I've heard t mobile uses it. Starlink was supposed to, but it was was very unreliable.There are lots of free options for remote access still.
1. cgnat is only for IPv4. Use IPv6 instead for remote access.
2. Zerotier
3. Cloudflare tunnel.
