Installing the Starlink system

This is a great idea, Make sure to get a large enough diameter conduit to get the Starlink connector through, 2" ID gives lots of room. Cover the connector when fishing cable through with tape to prevent damage.

This 65-year-old afraid-of-heights woman just mounted our new Dishy McFlatface on our roof. Whew! But what scares me more is the router set-up. I’m fairly tech-savvy and it looks pretty simple, but I have one issue I hope someone(s) can help me with. We currently have older-generation (Gen4?) Hughe

My original DL speeds were 150 -250 and 2 months later my speeds are never over 35-55 and I have no obstructions at all. Would it be better if I mounted it as high as possible with a pole ? I am presently 8 feet high off the ground. Thanx Gary

NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Quad-band Mesh WiFi 6E System (RBKE963) Any problems installing this router in AP mode?

The angle of this cable means drilling a 2" hole in house. Anybody have the best method before I go drill a hole this size? Cover up the hole with silcone?

I am out in the absolute middle of nowhere in NW TN. I have a choice of installation locations, either of which will be done by a local licensed electrician I have found. Choice #1 is the roof gable. But I understand that sometimes the cable becomes slightly dislodged and can cause problems? No way

Just confirmed the order, and looking for information on mounting methods. I'd like to attach the dish to the south side of the house. The roof pitch is 12/12, so it would block any reception/transmission below 45 degrees (to the north). Clear shot in all other directions. Is there a way to dete

I have three more days to order! I used the phone app to check install location. The app said there was a 7.23% obstruction. This is where my HughsNet Satalight is located. HughesNet Sucks even with the Fusion added. The question is how well will Starlink work with that obstruction? I fear even m

Hi I need to bury my starlink poe cable throughout my garden. There's an existing power cable (used for an EV charger) already digged, could I use this conduit (it's large enough) to bury my POE cable as well? Or is there any risk of interferences between the poe cable and a power cable? thanks lot

Sometimes it's best to set up a testing location. Make sure the location works well before permanently installing.

Have any of you installed the dishy on a tall tower or tree >60ft? We’re really not in an ideal setting for Starlink in the middle of a forest mountain with tall pine trees, some that are 100+ft high. I’m thinking of getting a tree climber to install this thing on one of our big pine trees, with th

I am setting up my Starlink at my Airbnb. Can the router be left out on a shelve, or should it be looked in a closet? I don't want the guest to be able to hack the system, if that's even possible. Also can I set up a guest wifi password? That way I won't have to give them my password.

This was a more difficult installation then the usual. Both a clay roof and surrounded by tall trees. Its difficult to tell, but this Dishy has a perfectly clear line of view. We gave it some extra height to compensate for tree growth with a 6ft pole. We used rubber matting under the NPR(Non Pene

Even morning condensation travelling down a cable line can ad up over the years. If it penetrates in behind your wall it can begin to create rot inside. The idea of the drip loop is to have the water fall off at the bottom of the curve, long before it gets to the opening.

Can I buy a longer cable from the dish to the starlink router? im in a cabin in the woods and need about 300tt to a clearing without trees

I was finally allowed to order a Starlink terminal, I was originally planning on using a Flat Ethernet cable to run it into my camper, but since the new equipment has a proprietary cable this option is gone, has anyone figured out a way to run the dish cable into a camper without making damaging mod

Hi, i purchased my starlink and selected residential and inputted my address at camp where my rv is. I changed the service to rv now to try it at home where i had it delivered. I have no internet and it says unexpected location. Does it take time to start working? It says its online on the app.

My installation gets completed next week. In preparation for that, I upgraded the grommets for the cable that runs from the great outdoors into my home. I thought that the grommets that came with the installation kits were too flimsy. I went to McMater-Carr (mcmaster.com) and found something bett

Hello, all Does anyone know if you could extend the Starlink wire? I rent a problem where I have to move the satellite dish about 20 feet, and the wire is run inside the building and do not have access to it. So I'm wondering if I could plug into the existing cable and extend it by about 20 feet t

I am an arborist and wisp installer, and when people first started getting their systems I have been getting all kinds of calls about clearing droves of trees for starlink. And I am not seeing enough post showing people there are better options. Just use one tree to put it on rather then cutting th

I recently ordered starlink, and hope to get it in hand to install in the next few weeks. I am currently using a cellular set up, where I have a pair of parabolic antennas mounted to a 21 foot pole (chainlink fence top rail material) mounted to the side of my house. I am planning of using a pole m

I purchased Starlink RV in the US and had it shipped to the Bahamas. Now I'm wondering if it's gonna let me set it up here in the Bahamas since I purchased it in the US? -- Hasn't even arrived yet so I'm hoping that if there's an issue with the region (US vs Bahamas) ...that I might be able to rect

I plan to have an electrician do the 'official' installation. But I'm curious about this hole in the Starlink Pole Mount - the instructions refer to a "drain hole" and a "cable routing hole". Is this hole (yellow arrow) both of those things? Thanks for your help.

I'm using Starlink RV and am planning on using the router outside. Has anyone else done this? My thought is to install it in a weather proof plastic enclosure mounted on a small stand, routing the cables up from the bottom to avoid moisture. Two reasons: 1) I do not have an easy way to route the

I have just installed a Starlink dish and router. It's working well (I get a download speed of about 220 Mbps). I also had included with the package a mesh router and an ethernet adapter. Am I correct in assuming that the mesh roouter is for extending the signal to another part of the house? I woul

I have just purchased and installed a new Starlink RV system and I will be traveling to Canada. Is there a way to use a VPN system with the Star link and pepwave to show that I am still ,in florida while I am in Canada so we can still stream videos?

These are rough measurements as there are many varying J-arms out there made over the years....always do you own measurements to double check that it will work. Click on the image to watch the it's made.

First off thanks for any help and advice. Im looking to purchase Starlink but I'm not sure it will work in my situation.. Please let me explain.. So I'm in an excellent area for the Starlink service (Newfoundland) my property has 2 buildings about 100 plus feet apart.. The house(building 1) and we
