Most buyers who message us on WhatsApp are stuck on the same decision: Mini or Standard V4? Both are genuine Starlink kits and both work anywhere in Cameroon with a clear view of the sky. The difference is in speed headroom, Wi-Fi coverage and how you plan to use it. Here is the honest comparison.
| Starlink Mini | Starlink Standard (V4) | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 300+ Mbps | 400+ Mbps |
| Wi-Fi | Built-in router, ideal for one household or small shop | Wi-Fi 6 Gen 3 router, up to 235 devices, offices and hotels |
| Size and weight | Compact, fits in a backpack | Larger dish, permanent mounting preferred |
| Durability | IP67 rated, dust and water resistant | Designed for fixed outdoor installation |
| Power use | Low, easier to run on an inverter or small solar setup | Higher draw, plan backup power accordingly |
| Our promo price | 235,000 FRS (from 260,000 FRS) | 345,000 FRS (from 365,000 FRS) |
Pick the Mini if…
- You are connecting a home, a small shop, a kiosk or a single office room.
- You travel between sites, field work, events, farms, or you rent and move often.
- You want the lowest power draw for inverter or solar backup.
- Your budget matters more than maximum speed headroom.
Pick the Standard V4 if…
- You run an office, hotel, school, church or cybercafé with many simultaneous users.
- You need Wi-Fi 6 capacity for dozens of devices without slowdowns.
- The dish will stay mounted permanently on your building.
- You plan to extend coverage with access points across a large property.
What about installation?
Installation is the same range for both kits, 55,000 to 85,000 FRS depending on your location and the nature of your building, and it covers logistics, professional mounting and satellite alignment for maximum performance. A free management service is included for our clients.
Still undecided? Send an executive a photo of your building and say how many people will use the internet daily. We will tell you plainly which kit fits, sometimes the Mini is all you need.
