Extend your Starlink with TX-E Connect
Starlink has been a game-changer for rural and regional Australia, bringing reliable, high-speed internet to properties that previously had few options. But like any home internet connection, Starlink on its own only gets you so far — the WiFi signal from your Starlink router typically covers your home and not much beyond it.
TX-E Connect is designed to solve exactly this problem. Using a pair of TX-E Connect devices, your Starlink internet connection can be extended across your property — to sheds, workshops, stables, or any location that needs internet access. The TX-E Connect system has been designed so that anyone can set it up — no technician, no specialist tools, and no technical background required.
What You Need
To extend your Starlink connection across your property you will need:
Your existing Starlink dish and router (already set up and working)
One TX-E Connect - Outdoor unit, placed near your Starlink router to connect to its WiFi and broadcast a HaLow signal across your property
One TX-E Connect - Indoor or Connect - Outdoor unit at each remote location, to receive the HaLow signal and rebroadcast it as standard 2.4 GHz WiFi for your everyday devices
How It Works
TX-E Connect works as a two-device system. The first device — TX-E Connect - Outdoor — is placed near your Starlink router. It connects wirelessly to your Starlink WiFi network and rebroadcasts that connection as a long-range WiFi HaLow signal across your property.
At each remote location — a shed, workshop, or any area that needs coverage — a second TX-E Connect device (Indoor or Outdoor) receives the HaLow signal and rebroadcasts it as standard 2.4 GHz WiFi. This is the network that your everyday devices — phones, tablets, laptops, and smart equipment — connect to, just as they would any regular WiFi network. Because the HaLow signal from a single TX-E Connect - Outdoor unit covers your whole property, you can place a Connect device at each location you need without any changes to the first unit.
No cables required
Because TX-E Connect - Outdoor connects to Starlink wirelessly, there is no need to run ethernet cable from your router to the unit. Simply place it in an optimal outdoor location and use the TX-E Connect mobile app to configure your Starlink network credentials.
Getting Set Up
Getting TX-E Connect - Outdoor running on your Starlink network is straightforward:
Mount TX-E Connect - Outdoor in an elevated outdoor location with a clear view across the property — the higher the better for maximum coverage.
Using the TX-E Connect mobile app, configure TX-E Connect - Outdoor with your Starlink WiFi network credentials.
TX-E Connect - Outdoor will begin broadcasting a WiFi HaLow signal across your property.
At each location you want to cover, place a TX-E Connect - Indoor or Connect - Outdoor unit. It will connect to the HaLow signal and rebroadcast standard 2.4 GHz WiFi for your devices to connect to.
Covering Multiple Locations
Because a single TX-E Connect - Outdoor unit broadcasts its HaLow signal across your entire property, adding coverage to additional locations is straightforward — simply place a TX-E Connect device at each new location. Whether you need coverage in the machinery shed, the shearing shed, and a remote work area, each location gets its own Connect unit to receive the HaLow signal and provide local 2.4 GHz WiFi. No changes to the first unit are needed.
For locations inside metal-clad sheds or buildings with foil insulation, placing a TX-E Connect - Indoor unit at a window will help bring the signal inside effectively. See our article on what affects WiFi range for more detail on this.
What You Can Do With Property-Wide Coverage
Once your Starlink connection reaches every part of your property, a range of use cases become practical that simply weren't possible before:
Security cameras at gates, machinery sheds, fuel stores, and livestock yards — all connected to your network without a separate SIM plan for each camera. See our full guide on setting up security cameras with TX-E Connect for everything you need to know.
WiFi calling from sheds and outbuildings — giving anyone on your property full phone functionality even where mobile coverage is absent.
Remote work and connectivity from a workshop, studio, or secondary dwelling without a second internet subscription.
Smart farming devices — irrigation controllers, weather stations, livestock monitors — connected directly to your existing Starlink plan.
Take Your Connection Even Further with TX-E Roam
If you need internet access while moving around your property — out in the paddock, checking fences, or working away from fixed locations — TX-E Roam pairs with your TX-E Connect network to give you a portable connection wherever you go. Roam is a battery-powered device that taps into the HaLow network created by TX-E Connect - Outdoor, so as long as you are within range, you stay connected.
