Does anyone know of the Starlink Mexico dishes are the first generation round ones or the second generation square ones? Square ones seem not to come
with a built in ethernet port so require an adapter for any ethernet connections.

All of the currently shipping dishes are the new square ones. Without the ethernet port and the adapter was not listed for sale in the starlink store.
The store is only available when logged into your starlink account.
Ethernet adapter is listed and available to purchase when logged into an account with a US based service address.
And just for reference, I'm seeing speeds between 60 and 240 Mbps. There are random outages of 10 to 15 seconds throughout the day. Probably as the
signal transfers to different satellites. Not really noticeable unless using a VOIP application.

I imagine they will become available in MX when USA supply catches up with demand. Until then you could try and find someone in the US to order one
for you.

Unbelievable. I was traveling this week and missed the emails asking to confirm my order. So it just got cancelled.

That’s chitty. You should wait for Bezos’ sat internet company,… Bezos has always been a customer-service oriented guy, based on what I see
from Amazon.
Woke!

Cancel culture Sorry to hear. Of course our internet has been horrible
this week as we wait for our dish to arrive on Monday.

It is my understanding that on the mainland Mexico, people are receiving the 2nd generation ROUND ones. That info is as recent as today on posts on FB
Usarios de Starlink Mexico.
I believe there are actually 3 generations. 1st is round black. 2nd is round grey and 3rd is square. 3rd generations are shipping in the US from my
understadning.
I could be wrong about what people are receiving in Baja since someone above mentioned a square one...but maybe they are talking about in the US.
According to our order page, we are receiving the round grey (2nd generation). I believe they do have the ethernet port but don't quote me on that.
Hope this is helpful.

EDIT-Here's a link to the Facebook mexico page. As you can see, they're all round grey units.

I ordered my Starlink and received it in 5 Days. There are some work around hacks people are using (youtube) to get their units faster. I didn't need
to do that, my area must have had plenty of openings available. Good Luck Amigo

A friend in San Juanico got theirs operational today. It's the round dish.. His initial speed tests were:
243Mb/s down
30Mb/s up
48ms latency
This is orders of magnitude better than what I get at my HOUSE in San Diego.

We have the new square Starlink at our place in San Felipe. We ordered it in the states though. It came with Roaming enabled. You can order the
ethernet adaptor from the Starlink website. They are currently backordered.
Service has been good so far. Downlink speeds have been from 40Megs to over 175Megs, uplink is around 1/2 the downlink speed. We have a few short
outages (15 - 30 sec) a day. The WiFi phone service is excellent.
Adiós Viasat!

Is anyone beta testing the new Starlink mesh network? I'm not sure if I want to wait for it to rollout or go with something else.

dont waste your money "wiring" your house with ethernet cables...
the future is wireless
invest in wifi extenders that are compatible with your wifi router
some new computers dont even have the ethernet plug

the speed of the internet is not that important
a "stable" connection is WAY more important
the thought that you can handle 100mb download is normally a dream
your processor in your computer is normally too slow
you can ONLY go as fast as the computer processor and hardware lets you

Wire your house with Cat6 or Cat7. Cat6 and Cat7 are faster than starlink is capable of, but use of such cable will make you ready for any gigabyte
speed system that may come in the future. Personally, I have used Cat6 for my house, and patch cables.
Ignore Bob and Susan. Ethernet is faster than wifi. My home office is Ethernet wired, and I can see speed of Ethernet is superior to wifi.
Woke!
