Description

The Starlink Ethernet Adapter is an official accessory from SpaceX, specifically engineered for compatibility with certain generations of Starlink hardware. Its primary function is to add a single RJ45 Ethernet port to a Starlink Wi-Fi router that lacks a built-in one. This allows users to connect devices such as desktop computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs, or third-party routers via a physical Ethernet cable.

The adapter is designed for indoor use and features a proprietary connector that plugs into a dedicated port on the underside of the compatible Starlink router. It supports speeds of up to 1 Gbps, ensuring that the wired connection can take full advantage of the high-speed internet provided by the Starlink service. This is particularly beneficial for applications where low latency and stability are critical, such as online gaming, large file downloads, or video conferencing. The adapter is powered directly by the router, so it does not require an external power source.
