SpaceX’s new Starlink Wi-Fi 6 router has now been spotted on the IMDA certification platform. Previously this device was also reported to have made it to the FCC database as well.
Here’s more about it.
New Starlink Wi-Fi 6 Router – IMDA and FCC Listing
This Starlink Wi-Fi 6 router has received and appeared on the IMDA certification platform with the model number – “UTR-232”. It has been listed as a low-power WLAN device.
Coming to its FCC listing, the database reveals that this new model will work over the same wireless bands as the existing Wi-Fi 6 router. It is also going to feature two inbuilt LAN ports just like the other, and unlike the other, will be making use of two power adapters – UTP-231L and UTP-232C.
From what can be assumed, this UTR-232 Wi-Fi 6 router can be a finalized version of the UTR-231 Wi-Fi 6 router (Gen 3 mesh router).
Speaking about the UTR-231 model, the Wi-Fi 6 Gen 3 mesh router, is believed to be an accessory for existing customers that will help them boost their Starlink coverage. While looking at the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Wi-Fi routers that came bundled with the Starlink dish, they only have Wi-Fi 5 support.
As pointed out, the Gen 3 mesh router supports Wi-Fi 6 and will be offering much faster broadband speeds. Apart from faster broadband speeds, better energy consumption for mobile phone devices and lesser bandwidth congestion can also be expected. Moreover, the Gen 3 mesh router also has two inbuilt Ethernet ports and offers better range.
Since the new model has been certified by the FCC authority, it can soon be unveiled and more about the router will be known. Stay tuned.
