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?) HughesNet. If Starlink doesn’t work for our forest home we’ll need to continue using HN and return the Starlink kit. (The roof-mount spot has the best field of view on our property, and I wasn’t able to use the Starlink app obstructions tool beforehand. But I’ve seen other users online with less open sky than we have and they still got a good signal.)
Starlink recommends that you change your SSID and password. I can certainly do that, but I am concerned that if this new system doesn’t work, I’ll then have difficulty reconnecting to the HughesNet modem. (I’m keeping their service until I know whether Starlink works.)
Will I be able to easily switch back to my previous SSID/password if I have to keep HughesNet? Or can I keep the new SSID/password and use it with my HT1100 modem? It was set up many years ago by a technician and I have no idea how it was done.
Alternatively, what if I don’t change the SSID/password until my testing is completed? Will that sharing confuse the Starlink and HughesNet systems, while they’re both operational?
Thanks!
Diana

Thanks again, Kelly. I’ll be plugging and playing this weekend, and hopefully not nailbiting and hairpulling. If this works, it will all be worth it. And I won’t have to get up on the roof again!
Hello Diana, welcome to the community! You shouldn’t have to touch the HughesNet system…just leave it as is for now. When the Starlink set-up ask for a new network name and password just set-up a tester network to try out the Starlink on. an example of this would be StarlinkTest(Wifi Name)XXXXXXXX(Password). Run some tests an see what you get, hopefully You like what you see.
As far as setting up your existing network I would need to know a little more to try and help you out, if your set up with a static IP address? What devices your running? how many users?
If this is just replacing a standard network then you should be just fine, plug and play, but If not contact a local contractor and get a quote, it might be worth while to give him a call, just in case you do run into problems.
Hope this helps!
