Amazon have it figured.. Lotsa RV types are doing this because of the significant power savings, my Starlink, once booted up uses between 28 and 34 watts... mine powered by a 250 watt off grid solar panel. If you have off grid (not grid tied as most are) solar, your halfway there.

I have the Tycon high power POE and the 144 watt 48V upconverter as shown on the same page.
...this guy is kinda entertaining to watch, but the 12V modification you may be interested in, is in the last 1/2 of the presentation...
You need to be prepared to cut the Starlink cable, It's just CAT5 shielded, but note there is a change in the wiring order for the RJ45 connector to do this mod... it's not a big deal but MUST be done. The presentation shows how to do this.
Any 5ghz 10/100/1000 gigabit router will do... I use a cheap TP Link Archer C80 I got off Amazon. A lot of folks get sub-par speed performance often less than 40 mbps because they use 2.4ghz... that won't cut it, for maximum Starlink speeds always use 5ghz unless you need the extended range that 2.4ghz gives you.
It is possible with a decent router or by using a bridged access point such as a Ubiquiti router, to share the service with a friend or other family member in order to mitigate the cost if that's a concern. I've done a bit of this....
