I had an old Starlink Dish that did not work. I wanted to do something with it instead of throwing it in the trash. I realized I could not game on my iPad very well when I was outside of our RV when we were camping. I wanted to figure out a way to get better WiFi outside of the RV by turning this Starlink dish into a WiFi extender. My results showed that I got faster ping with my new modified Starlink dish. Faster ping is good for gaming.
This is an innovative and well-executed project that creatively repurposes a Starlink dish to extend WiFi signal. This effectively demonstrates the modification process and shows clear improvements in performance through experimentation and testing. The project is highly creative and provides valuable insights into the potential of reusing old technology for practical purposes. Overall, it is a highly successful and forward-thinking project.
Creative engineering project that reuses old equipment to solve a real problem.
Great testing plan with multiple devices and distance measurements, plus clear graphs and data.
