>Since you ignored pretty much everything i said for whatever reason, i'll just say it again: it may be "just fine" in places that don't have extreme humidity and temperature deltas between night and day. All i can tell you is i've installed PtP and PtMP sector antennas and "dishes", and if the power goes out for 2 nights, you're at least in for replacing some parts. What's your criteria for extreme deltas? I've had PtP/PtMP kit installed in areas that go from above 100 to 35 below zero over the course of a year, 60+ degree 24h gyrations on occasion, with heavy humidity, heavy rain, 90 mph winds, unprotected on top of buildings, mountains and in forests. None of it has had the trouble you're suggesting over the course of a decade. I've used those mikrotik extenders to join two terminated cables underground in wet earth buried for years and they're fine. I'm legitimately, honestly curious about what your environment is like, and how power going out for just a few nights, not even weeks, would mean any kind of permanent damage? Direct lightning strikes? That at least is fairly uncommon here, usually double grounding is plenty sufficient though I tend to break exterior links to core with fiber these days just in case. >As far as my last point - i said i don't see the point since starlink is CGNAT. It's like putting a fiber cable to a cellphone for tethering. you get no benefit. What? There's tons of benefit! First, Starlink, and failover cellular dedicated modems, PtMP/PtP etc, frequently would be ideally installed hundreds or more feet away from wherever the core rack and router are, which in turn are away from fanned out further switches/WAPs. And in high positions more prone to surge. Fiber breaks that link in and has effectively no range limits, while being cheap and easy to work with. What would CGNAT have to do with the tremendous limitations of their router? Say you've got a small LAN covering even just a million square feet, Starlink router won't cover that itself. What about nested traffic shaping of various kinds, supporting your 802.1x auth, or arbitrary VLANs (direct or stacked) or a million other things? How about automatic failover with another connection, or shaping, or automated VPN tunneling of given subnets? Which is indeed a trivial way to give even a residential CGNAT IPv4 a static IP, just get a basic VPS somewhere geographically appropriate for access patterns, setup Wireguard on it and then tunnel both ways. Totally transparent to clients, can use PPSK/MPSK so that even the most outdated pure wireless stuff with zero radius support can simply be given a password and it's on the right place. And second fwiw, Starlink Business does offer a publicly routable IPv4 (though not static), and each Starlink Terminal gets a /56 IPv6. And I did mention that terminal specifically didn't I? I mean, how is Starlink here any different then nearly any other classic ISP in existence going back decades? It's not like there's anything wrong with being happy with an ISP supplied default AIO combo deal, most of the population is. But it's also always been the case that sometimes there is a need for more. And for businesses that's particularly true. Starlink v1 supported that elegantly and near perfectly. Starlink v2 took that away, even for 5x more expensive business terminal. I'm just saying that's unfortunate, clearly unnecessary, and I hope they change course with a v3 or v4 or the like someday. Even if only on the high end one.
