What is the best router for Starlink?

Best overall: ASUS RT-AX86U Pro. It’s the best Starlink router for most homes because it has strong Wi‑Fi 6 performance, excellent range for a single-router setup, solid traffic-management features, and a 2.5GbE WAN/LAN port that gives you headroom beyond typical Starlink speeds.

If your home is large or has thick walls, choose a mesh system instead: TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro is the easiest strong-value pick. If you want a more advanced, expandable network, go with Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra + UniFi Wi‑Fi 6/7 access point.

Important: for many Starlink kits, using a third-party router requires putting the Starlink router into bypass mode and, depending on the Starlink hardware generation, using the right Ethernet connection or adapter.
