In addition to addressing the dire need to keep these devices
functioning, his efforts are the most stirring example of the
right-to-repair I've yet seen,
and also, the training and diagnostic lessons he's documented above
apply to so much other gear we could so easily be repairing, rather
than replacing.

Hello everybody,

Thanks, Dave, for inviting me to this mailing list.

I think someone already followed my blog or Twitter. I did a lot of work 
on the Starlink router and Dishy analysis and probably can tell 
something I didn't publish yet. Currently, I'm doing all these repairs 
due to the situation in my country.

I have some ideas to make a custom version of the SpaceX Gen2 router 
with optimized OpenWrt and modified hardware.

What can we do to help?

The Gen1 would have been easier to modify - it had an out of the box
supported version of modern openwrt already.
The Gen2 was only supported by the manufacturer's devboard in openwrt
last I looked.

It would be nice to see more features on the Gen2 - BGP and an IGP,
for example, more ability to handle complex networks.

Right-to-repair is meaningless if there are no obligations for
manufacturers to provide complete datasheets of the chips they use,
schematics, and instructions on how to repaire their devices. None of this
exists today.

and also, the training and diagnostic lessons he's documented above
