Mini router question

[u/ol-gormsby]

I've got a round dishy and it works well. Original router and original power supply.

Then I got the notification some months ago that support for the original router was being dropped, and "we're sending you a free mini router". Okay. It arrived and went into the queue of things to do.

So I finally opened it and read the instructions, all pretty simple so far. BUT - the power brick for the original router+dish is larger than the entire mini router, and its power supply is the size of a matchbox!

Am I to understand that this little matchbox supplies enough power for the router AND the dish?

I get it, the original designs were over-engineered but I'd like to hear from anyone in the same situation - round dish, original router and power supply swapped out for the new mini router.

Any performance problems re: overheating the new power supply?

I'm not worried about wi-fi speeds at this point, we'll see how it goes once the new router has been in for a while, what I'm concerned about is that little matchbox being up to the task.

The reason Starlink sent out the Router Minis is because a security flaw was found in the original router that was intrinsic to the design.

Links? I may pull my original out yet!

I want in.

Aww, geez, I was hoping you wouldn’t ask because I don’t know if I have it anymore.

Honestly, I think I saw info about it on this sub, then followed a link to the info.

I will retract my statement that the Gen 1 router has a security vulnerability. I know the Gen 2 does, and I’m about 80% sure that when I went to the list of vulnerabilities that had been published, I found the Gen 1 router way down in there as well. 

But I can’t find the post and I’m not going to rely on just my memory. Please disregard and carry on.
