How do I Install Starlink myself?

Starlink does not send a technician to your house or office to install a satellite dish and router, unlike many other satellite internet providers, such as Viasat or HughesNet. Instead, when you get Starlink Internet, you will receive a self-installation kit. You can follow the following steps to install it. 

1. Download the app

You can download the Starlink app from the Google Play Store or App Store. The app will walk you through the setup process and allow you to control your system from your smartphone.

2. Check for obstructions

The Starlink system uses GPS signals to determine the position of satellites in the sky. However, if there are any obstacles between your satellite dish and the sky, it will be unable to communicate with them properly. Ensure no trees or buildings are blocking your satellite dish before installing. If the obstructions are moveable, try moving them. If not, install the dish in a different location.

3. Unpack the Starlink Kit

Once you have confirmed that there are no obstructions between your satellite dish and the sky, you can unpack the contents of your kit and start installing it on your roof or exterior wall (depending on where you intend to install it). The kit contains the dish, a mounting base, a 75′ cable, a wireless router, and a power cord.

4. Assemble and Install the Dish

To begin, connect the 75-foot data/power line to the dish. The connection lies at the mast’s base. There are two distinct sides of the cable. One connection is straight, while the other is angled. The straight connection connects to the dish. Ensure that the connection is secure, and then slide the mast into the mounting base and secure the two spring tabs into position. The mounting base is adaptable and may be used for permanent, temporary, or portable installations. We recommend experimenting with using the provided base even if you want to permanently put the dish on your roof. Install the dish in the same general area where you checked for obstacles.

5. Plug Everything In

The other end of the 75-foot cable must be routed back inside your home to the wireless router. The elbow connector connects to the router’s bottom. For permanent installations, you’ll need to drill a hole through the exterior of your property to route the cable. You can just run it through an open window, door, or other opening for temporary testing.

The next step is to plug the router into a wall socket using the included power wire. Before connecting the router, ensure your dish is installed correctly and free to move and tilt. The dish will turn on when you plug in the router and scan for satellites. The Starlink dish automatically aligns itself. Therefore, manually moving, aiming, or positioning the dish is unnecessary. Starlink will automatically detect satellites as long as the dish tower is near vertical and there are no obstructions.

6. Connect to Starlink

When you turn on the router, it will begin an initialization procedure that may take several minutes. After a few moments, open your phone’s WiFi settings. A new wireless network called Starlink should appear. Connect to it to continue. A new window will appear if the connection is successful, requesting you to enter a new network name and password. You are now linked to your Starlink system after saving.

Do You Have to Install Starlink Yourself?

You do not have to install your Starlink yourself and have alternative solutions if this is the case. You can contact a friend you trust with the equipment or get a Starlink installer. Starlink installers will set up the antenna and router and can even help you create “Wall-to-Wall Wi-Fi” in your home. This article provided a list of Starlink installers in Alberta, Canada.
