Starlink satellite internet

I really wanted to get off spectrum (increased to 80/mnth now) and tried T-Mobile. Unfortunately I live it a small gully with small hill on east and south, where the 4G and 5G towers are. Even tried climbing up on the roof to try for better connection, but couldn't get a solid signal above 2 bars and inconsistent speed tests between 1Mbps to 20Mbps. Towers are within 5 miles of my location, but no joy.

You can use the following website to find 4G and 5G towers in your area:

This site looks to be pretty browser selective. I went through 4 browsers failing to make it work. The closest I got was it claiming I was running an ad blocker, which was shut off.

I had to use Edge (no ad blocker), it didn't like Brave... I'm using PiHole though...
 
Understand the Starlink v2 rectangular antenna have a detachable connector (like micro-usb type). The customer will bring the hardware (antenna/router + two mesh). The objective is to install several cameras around and existing house, while adding a new construction to an adjacent property. Since I have no experience with this particular product, will like to confirm the following:

  1. The antenna will be mounted in an existing wall mount base (Dish), using the optional base adapter. Since the included cable (understand is about 100ft of included cable, even though the distance from antenna to main router is about 50ft.), can be detached from the antenna, an it will pass through an existing pvc 1/2”-conduit (about 8ft straight). That will be connected to the included main router.
  2. The system include two wireless Mesh, in which one will be located in the office (about 20ft from the main router), where a Dahua NVR will be installed. Understand It need to add an Starlink network adapter, with an optional network switch in case I need to add more devices (future). The NVR is a 16CH, but initially it will only include 5 cameras.
  3. The other wireless Mesh will be located at a guest room, about 25ft from main router. Since the customer wants to have a separate network, a router will be connected to the Mesh, using an additional network adapter.

Based on yours experience real-time kinematic with this provider/hardware, do I need to be aware of any other issues I may encounter? Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
How many customer wants to have a separate network?
