Really good teardown and analysis here:

According to his twitter feed, he's now deep into the dishy:

I really hope the original starlink router gets updated to a modern
openwrt. The offloads they presently use in that product are just not
needed at the speeds the dishy runs at and there are so many
advantages to that modern codebase.

I did get a shot at the newer dishy and wifi router over the holiday
myself, (without, sigh, an ethernet port) but my primary interest is
merely in finding a way to effectively run fq-codel derived algos on
or near it and not have to tear it apart.
