I just Ordered Starlink cause the house we just bought is 1/2km out of Cable service. What I want to know is if I want to hard wire multiple smart TVs to the router can I do that? Just know from our previous Cable that hardwired we can get by streaming 4k but the tvs that are on wifi can't. Would be nice to hardwire the Garage, Livinroom and both bedrooms with ethernet cables and just use WiFi for our phones.
Just don't know how to do that if only 2 ethernet connections on their router.

There is an ethernet out socket on the white wifi unit. You can use an Internet switch to add multiple hard wired connections.
Ok ill look at ethernet switches. Also is there special ethernet cable specs I would need for TV like CAT6 and does length make difference for speed say 50-100'?

All Ethernet seems to be spec'd for 100m, which is way more than you propose. I'd go with CAT6 just because it's less susceptible to noise. And I would also recommend a Gigabit Ethernet switch since it's cheap, and not try to get by with anything cheaper.
