EXTEND MY STARLINK WIRELESS…TO ANOTHER PROPERTY

The Power of Connection

So, you want to connect your main property’s wireless to your… shed/granny flat/barn/garage/AirBnB/ campsite/solar farm or even a Starlink connection?

This section will show you how to connect devices in different locations to the same wireless network.

“Wireless is about density not distance”

 

It is often thought that increasing the power of a wireless access point will enable coverage over a greater area and therefore allow the signal to reach another building.  This may work in some instances, but various factors can significantly affect performance, such as physical distance between buildings and even the types of building materials of each property.

There really is only one reliable way to make it all work… a point-to-point connection, often called a wireless bridge.

Point to Point Solutions

A wireless bridge is a networking solution that allows you to connect two or more separate local area networks (LANs) together via wireless radio frequencies, without needing to run cables between them. Typically, you create a wireless bridge using paired wireless devices (such as routers) that support bridge mode, with one acting as the base station (or distribution system) and the other(s) acting as receivers.

The distance of a wireless bridge can range from 10 metres to several kilometres and can handle speeds up to and beyond 1Gb/s.

Once you create the wireless bridge, you can use a little more equipment to create a wireless (and wired if needed) network in that new location. This will allow your devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets) to connect to and use the same internet connection as your main property and become part of the same network.

This option can even be extended to join multiple locations together in what is called a Point-to-Multi-Point Wireless Bridge. 

Point to Multi-Point Solutions

A Point‑to‑Multi‑Point bridge connects one main location to several others at the same time. It works like a wireless hub that sends internet to multiple buildings or areas without needing physical cables, making it ideal for distributed campuses, industrial sites, and CCTV networks. 

The radius of a Point-to-Multi-Point Hub can be as large as 4kms

These highly scalable systems have one AP that services many client radios (5, 20, or even 100+ locations)

Important Information and the Steps it Takes to Create the Ultimate Starlink Wireless Point to Point Solution:

Getting your Starlink connection to another building, first starts with having a spare ethernet port. If you have Starlink Gen2 (rectangular dish) you will need to purchase the optional Starlink Ethernet Adapter.

A bridge is made up of two devices.  Each will be mounted on the outside of the property pointing towards each other, without any obstructions.

The first bridge device will need to be wired, using an Ethernet cable, in to a PoE (Power other Ethernet) Injector and then on to your Starlink ethernet adapter or a switch port on your router or switch if you have those already connected to Starlink. At the other end the device will wired back through to another PoE Injector and then on to your Access point, Switch or Router.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wireless bridge solution should I use?

There are several different vendors that offer wireless bridge kits and bridging solutions. The key is to factor in what devices your existing implementation currently has, such as routers. You can then supplement it with devices from the brands already you know and trust.

Can I install a wireless bridge myself?

Yes, the process is straightforward. Ultimately, configuring and installing a wireless bridge will depend upon your technical skill level. We are available to provide advice on this.

Can I connect buildings together using one wireless bridge?

Yes, it is entirely possible to link multiple buildings together with one system. The simplest, most cost-effective option - affectionately known as "The Tech Geeks Way" – is a pre-configured solution that just requires you to run physical cables and mount devices to the outside of your buildings.
