SAVE $200: The Starlink Standard Kit AX Tri Band WiFi System is on sale at Best Buy for $299.99, down from the usual price of $499.99. That's a 40% discount.
After remote work became a lot more common in 2020, some of us have gone fully off-grid. A secluded cabin in the wilderness, a fully-outfitted van, or a sailboat cruising an archipelago are all places some of us call home, but staying connected for work can pose a challenge. Starlink offers a solution, connecting you to satellite internet from secluded areas that aren't typically in coverage zones. Thanks to today's deal at Best Buy, the associate kit to get you set up with Starlink connectivity is much more affordable.
As of Aug. 29, the Starlink Standard Kit AX Tri Band WiFi System is on sale at Best Buy for just $299.99, discounted from the usual price of $499.99. That means you'll be saving $200 and scoring a 40% discount. But keep in mind you'll need to sign up for a Starlink service plan to get coverage, which starts at $50 per month.
Starlink aims to deliver high-speed internet to rural or remote locations that usually don't see a signal to stay connected. Through a network that includes thousands of satellites, Starlink gives broadband internet access that's strong enough to stream shows, join your Zoom meetings, stay in touch with emails, or even spend the weekend online gaming.
To get access to this network, you'll need to set up a WiFi satellite dish at home — or on your van, or boat — which is where the Starlink Standard Kit AX Tri Band WiFi System comes into play. This kit includes all necessary elements to get started with Starlink, including the satellite, WiFi router, cables, and a convenient base.
The Standard Kit supports WiFi 6 so you'll be able to get faster speeds while connecting to either 2.4GHz or 5.0 frequencies.
Since the included Starlink satellite sits outside, it's made with weather-resistant materials that can withstand the coldest of cold and hottest of hot temperatures. But keep in mind you should set up the satellite in an area that has a clear view of the sky, making it possible to connect to Starlink's network.
You can also download the Starlink app to get more information about the best set-up location before you install.
If you're hoping to stay connected while off grid, Starlink is a great option, and you can currently save $200 on the Starlink Standard Kit AX Tri Band WiFi System that'll keep you connected. Your family, friends, and work will be thrilled to have you online.
