General Starlink Topics

I recently went from Verizon 4G to Starlink. I work from home and use a Fortinet Firewall. Verizon worked fine but it had slow speeds all around. If I use ethernet directly into my computer, I get download of 70-100 mbs and upload of 4-7 mbs. Not great, but it works. If I run the ethernet into

Hi new to the group. Does any one know if there is a loss of power going with the optional 150’ cable over the standard 75’ cable. I hate to drastically cut my power down useing it, but it will be better for me in the long run. I received my 2nd gen in early February and have been using the 75’ with

When I ordered my Starlink I assumed wrongly that it would be like Comcast insofar as I would be billed upon hookup. Well my house won't be done for like 3 months and I hate throwing $110 x at least three out the window. Is there a work around???

Hi, New here and to Starlink. I absolutely LOVE my Starlink so far. I live very rural, off grid completely. I had Viasat with its super slow/unreliable signal and data caps for 15 years. I wasn't aware there was an option for me. The blog on speed testing very informative, thank you. I read in i

Hi All, I just ordered starlink today for Bulgaria. My employer told me that because I work from home that I can claim 90% of the cost back, but this means I need the invoice to be changed to their address just for the equipment. I have submitted a ticket for them, does any one think there will be

Anyone having trouble signing up to Best Effort? Starlink posted the $500 plus charge to my credit card, then removed it. What gives? Thanks

Does anyone have experience using a gen 2 with a Plume mesh network? I inherited a Plume network and am planning to use it to extend my starlink signal from my home into my detached Garage and its overhead apartment. -approximately 100 ft away. Does anyone have experience with the Plume or other mes

My step son set up the starlink. He put it in his name but I pay the bill each month. Any idea how to change the account name to me? I have looked everywhere to contact starlink and I get nothing. I have even tried to message them over the app , still nothing.

I can not get a service ticket. Is there any way to reactivate the service? My equipment was sent to the wrong address so I canceled the service until I sorted the problem out

after inputting all info for placing an order and clicking the place order button it comes back saying there is a problem on their end and try again later. this has been going on for 2 weeks. anyone know whats up ?

Can I hook up a 2nd router from the ethernet adapter to my Starlink router. i have a shop I want to have wifi in, it’s metal sided so I wanted a router inside. Or do I have to setup two after Market routers and use bridge mode? I have two archer A7 mesh wifi routers.

I have adt security (monitored) and outside cameras and doorbell camera. The security part works fine with my starlink wifi but not the cameras. Adt said they would not work with starlink. Any solutions would help. Thank you.

I received the the StarLink dish, router and ethernet adapter last Friday. Saturday, I did a temporary connection with cable running in through a window, and noticed a new device showed up on my Eero routers - manufacturer: Tibro Corp. Looks like there is a relationship between Tibro and StarLink

I received the StarLink dish a little over 2 weeks ago, and have been playing with it since. Speeds continue to be slower than I had expected, at around 20 Mbps during evening hours, and between 50 and 100 Mbps during daytime hours. I have read suggestions saying to bypass the StarLink router to

Now that we can take our StarLink mobile, I have a few questions 1- Will there be a slave antenna to take with me, or will I have to take my antenna off of my roof and leave my home in a dead zone? 2- This will also require taking the modem from inside my house? 3- I have watched YouTube videos wher

I just got a gen 2 kit along with the ethernet adapter. didn't take much to incorporate it into my existing network using bypass mode. Kinda crude that there isn't a portal to view the starlink router and that i have to power on/off 3 times to reset the router. but i can live with that. What i can

I have had Starlink for about 6 months now (what a life saver here in northern Maine). I can't figure out why my starlink router is broadcasting an SSID called "SP Red Test Only". This is not something I set up, nor can I access or remove it. I decided to contact Starlink support about it today (wi

Hi everyone, pretty well ready to order Starlink for home but have a question regarding options for paying for the service. I know that the initial payment requires a credit card but preferrably I would love to set it up so that all future payments could automatically come from my bank account. Coul

What kind of speeds has everyone been experiencing so far? We have had the 1st Generation Dishy up and running since February of 2021 here in Red Deer, Alberta. So far we have averaged around 80MBPS Download and 10MBPS Upload (with very little down time to boot). We have seen up to 300MBPS Download

In late 2021 Starlink engineers said they were working hard on a deep power saving mode to fix the 100 watt 24/7 power usage problem. 1) Have there been any updates? 2) Timeline? If it won't be soon I will need to install 3 or 4 way switches to be able to turn power off/on from both upstairs and dow

Does anybody have there Starlink roaming activated? I've been seeing reports that an update went through and turned Roaming on to True for some systems. This can be found in the Debug Data advanced support on the app or browser 192.168.100.1. This is suppose to mean your dish is now mobile! I keep c

Has anyone successfully set up an American Express (Amex) credit card as payment method?

Dear community, I own a small business and want to order Starlink. However, Starlink say in their terms and conditions, that non-business-type of Starlink is prohibited to use it for businesses. On the other hand, the business-type of Starlink is about 500 USD per month and way too expensive for s

Hello, my Starlink router is configured with 192.168.1.1 IP Adress. i do not find how to modify this address and I need to do it because all of my equipment is on another addressing plan. Is it possible to change this address and if so, from what parameter? Thank's

Which speed tests work with Starlink? My go-to speed test has been DSL Reports for many years, but it does not have a satellite category and shows error messages in available categories. Thanks

I am modifying a gen 2 RV for use on a boat and need to remove the standard mounting pole to allow me to mount it flat and seal it. I will be disconnecting the motors but I can’t seem to remove or unscrew the pole from the dish. Does Anyone have any idea if this is possible ?
