I had not thought of the hAP ax Lite as an option, that would allow me to run a separate smaller power bank to power the router, leaving the larger 12v one to power the dish. Definitely given me food for thought. And seeing as how the Starlink Mini can only do around 100Mbps the hAP ax Lite is an ideal device. See what happens when people ask questions? They get answers they would have not thought of. Regards, Christopher Hawker On Tue, 22/04/2025 07:11 PM, Andrew Oakeley via Public <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> wrote:
Hi,
If you can get 12v from it then, you can run almost any tik. Therefore, I don’t understand why you need to be asking this then.
Still not psychic :)
Leave you to it.

Well, one could deduce that it’d be a 12v powerbank with USB-C considering that Starlink needs a 100W PD battery with USB-C to operate…
No need for your psychic gene ;)

Hi,
Psychic gene broken.
What powerbank? What voltage can it provide? What sockets does it have? What do you need the Tik to be able to do? Wireless? Not wireless? Hardware encryption? etc What are your options for charging the power bank?
I much prefer using lithium power tool batteries for this sort of thing, much wider range of options available when your starting point is 18v

Hey folks, Looking to build a solution that I can run entirely from a power bank. I've got a Starlink Mini which can be powered from a power bank, but I also need a low-power router that can also be used. What would be the best Tik that can do the job, if any at all?
