Are there any differences with installing a Starlink Performance (Gen 2) vs the Starlink Performance (Gen 1)?


While performance and integration are largely the same, there are a few key differences to note when installing the Starlink Performance (Gen 2) kits:

  • The Starlink Performance (Gen 2) kit requires a wedge mount for every installation, which is included in the kit.
  • The Starlink Performance (Gen 2) kit comes standard with a 25m cable.
  • Some fixed-site installations may benefit from using a Starlink Performance (Gen 2) pipe adapter in combination with the wedge mount. These adapters are available for purchase on the Starlink shop.
