Starlink internet service has become a powerful option for frequent travelers and people looking to connect from less-populated areas, but the cost has generally been prohibitive for many customers. To address that gap, the satellite internet service provider recently released a new budget-friendly internet plan called Residential Lite. Residential Lite reduces the monthly cost of Starlink from $120 to $80 in select areas. That's a $40 discount for customers in 30 US states, making it one of th

kontekbrothers/Getty We've probably all received confirmation codes sent via text message when trying to sign into an account. Those codes are supposed to serve as two-factor authentication to confirm our identity and prevent scammers from accessing our accounts through a password alone.

The latest entry in Rick and Morty season eight skewers holiday celebrations.

How to modify Starlink Mini to run without the built-in WiFi router

news.ycombinator.com About Oleg Kutkov 2026-03-18 13:40:07

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely. In this article, I’ll detail the process of physically removing the built-in Wi-Fi router board from the Starlink Mini, allowing the terminal to operate solely via Ethernet
