Starlink has officially launched its first Wi-Fi 7 router, designated as Router 4. The device became part of the V4 satellite equipment kit on November 6 for new subscribers in the United States and Canada who select the Residential 200 Mbps or Residential Max service plans.
The new hardware supports Wi-Fi standards ranging from 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax to 802.11be. It features a tri-band radio system, MU-MIMO, and OFDMA, while providing WPA2 and WPA3 security. Notably, the router lacks a dedicated 6 GHz radio module, distinguishing it from many other Wi-Fi 7 devices on the market.
Router 4 offers coverage for areas up to 325 square meters and can manage up to 510 simultaneous connections. This represents a 9% increase in coverage area and more than double the device capacity compared to the previous Router 3 model, which supported 235 devices and 297 square meters.
For wired connectivity, the device includes two Ethernet ports with PoE support. It can also be powered via WAN or USB-C. Weighing approximately 400 grams, the router is designed specifically for indoor use. The monthly subscription costs for the associated plans are $85 and $130.
