We make three different StarPower power supplies, each designed for a different setup. Picking the wrong one can mean an incompatible power source, or missing functionality you actually needed (like keeping vs. replacing your Starlink router).
StarPower V2 — 12V/24V DC, replaces the router
- Powers your dish directly from a 12V/24V DC source, bypassing the standard Starlink router entirely
- Supports Gen 1, 2, and 3 Standard terminals only — not compatible with High Performance or In-Motion/Maritime terminals
- Accepts a wide DC input range, with multiple connector options (Anderson plug, 2.5mm DC jack, or DC jack with AC power pack)
- For Gen 2 terminals, the main cable needs modifying (cut and terminated with a Cat6 plug) — or use our SPX to RJ45 adapter (passes power) for a simpler connection without cutting
StarPower V3 — 12V/24V DC, keeps the original router
- Purpose-built for the Starlink Standard Gen 3 / V4 terminal
- Unlike V2 and V4, StarPower V3 keeps the original Starlink router in the system — V3 powers the router, and the router powers the dish
- Avoids the double DC→AC→DC power loss of running Starlink through an inverter — ideal for caravans, RVs, boats, and off-grid installs wanting a cleaner DC setup
- Must be installed indoors or in a protected, weatherproof location — the unit itself is not moisture-resistant
StarPower V4 — AC or DC input, replaces or bypasses the router
- Accepts either 110-240V AC or an external DC source — flexible on power input
- Designed to replace a failed router, or let you run your own third-party router instead of the standard Starlink hardware
- Works across Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, and Mini
- Some Gen 2 setups will also need the SPX to RJ45 adapter (passes power)
- Modular — can be configured as an injector-only setup, a full injector + power supply kit, or bundled with a compact router
Quick way to choose
- Want to keep your original Starlink router, just power it from 12V/24V DC? → V3
- Want to bypass the router entirely and power a Standard (non-HP) dish direct from 12V/24V DC? → V2
- Want maximum flexibility — AC or DC input, works across every generation including Mini, and can run a third-party router? → V4
