Although Starlink is the driving force for our setup, but really this is about powering the MAX BR1 MK2 from the POE injector from boondocker.io that I’m about to install:
We have Starlink working perfectly with the BR1 in bypass mode, the BR1 is powered by 12v from the boat house batteries but the Starlink is running of 240v plug which I am switching to the 12v and planning on dropping the Starlink router from the setup. The boondocker has POE output to power a router, I’ve read that there is undocumented features of some pepwaves to allow powering through the WAN via POE, I am not overly sure I want to risk this. A simple solution seems to be one of these:
The boondocker outputs at 48v by default and I did the calcs that 12v 2a will be enough for the Max BR1. I was just wondering if anyone had any better suggestions to avoid yet another “widget” in the setup?
Cheers
