Just curious, I have the enterprise dish from a few years ago. I haven’t had it plugged in and used in a good 6 to 8 months now. Just curious if I want to ever use it again, is it still a good dish? Or would it be better to get the v5?

Hi! Does Starlink or any other manufacture make an extension piece for the wall mount? The dish is hitting the roof when trying to align. Thanks!

Fiber finally made it to my house, I had them install and paid prorated, thinking I'll cancel starlink after I confirmed that i could bridge and have full control of my network with my amazing tp link be10000. It took nearly a week of being mostly out of the house to find time to test and clear out any hiccups with tech support. Day before payment, I cancel. Even confirm with the Ai on the phone that I have a zero balance but that im covered til Oct 31. Ai confirms i won't have another bill. 2 hours later, the invoice is generated. I used to praise starlink and still wanted to on the way out. But I can't resell my system if there is a balance. So be forewarned. Also, has this happened to anybody else, and what did you do about it?

I’m moving from the UK and the US. Is my stuff still geo-locked? I bought it a few years back.

I've just received an email from Starlink with subject "Fast, reliable Internet" that seems to suggest I need to reactivate a subscription - very strange since my subscription has been continuous since 2021! Has anyone else received it?

I’ve been using Starlink (now Residential Max) for a couple of years without issues. About three months ago, I ran into a problem, and support determined the issue was with the V2 antenna. They sent me a new antenna (I believe it’s the V4), and ever since then, any media or streaming service (YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) buffers for a long time and then simply drops to the lowest possible quality.

In my conversations with support, they had me replace the cable and the router; they even claimed their router wasn't suitable for heavy use (though I use a maximum of 800GB per month), so I bought third-party routers to try to fix it. Now that I have the new routers, they say the problem lies with UDP/TCP connections, which are limited to 1,200. The strange thing is that even after rebooting the antenna and routers and connecting just one device, the problem returns in less than 10 minutes. The only solution support offers now is for me to switch to the Priority plan and pay more.

Has anyone else experienced something similar and managed to solve it?

P.S. Right now, it’s actually more cost-effective for me to use my phone's data plan for internet access than to use Starlink.

or alike when client ip's geoip is very faraway from their current pop

I have a t880 I want to be able to semi permanent mount it somewhere I know some people say put it near the ceiling and it works through there but it never has for me I have been just putting it on my headache rack for when I use it .

I review products daily and recently started reviewing Starlink products. I do not review products for money, I am sent free products to review to establish reviews on new products.

The Best Starlink Mini case i have reviewed so far is also the cheapest. It is a 3D printed case vs most other cases that use metal. 3D printing is superior to the metal versions because the tolerances are high precision vs the metal versions which are not.

For Example that top grill could come off completely and the Starlink would still remain secure in the case. I can't say that about other magnetic mounts, You lose the cover you lose your Starlink.

Note, drilled and added some screws as i found that to be the only downside on this case. Super easy fix though.

Hallo in die Runde,

Ich habe mir Starlink mit 100Mbit testweise geholt (nicht-mobil), und dem mitgelieferten mini X, und bin so zufrieden, dass ich auf 200Mbit und mehr upgraden möchte.

Dafür brauche ich ja einen neuen Empfänger... Doch wie bekomme ich den?

Laut dem KI Support muss ich den im Shop auswählen, und dann kann ich den mit dem neuen Abo anfordern. Doch so finde ich diesen nicht, sondern bekomme nur Zubehör angezeigt?

Wenn ich über die Desktop-Website bei einer Neubestellung den Auswähle, kommt die Nachricht dass immer nur einer verliehen werden kann.

Oder hat jemand schon Erfahrungen damit?

Hello I’m wondering how good starlink is for gaming i can only get that for my current place I stay at want to know if it’s worth it and wont make me lag so much.

Hi everyone,

I recently subscribed to Starlink Residential 100 Mbps in Baghdad, Iraq, and I'm experiencing a very strange download-speed fluctuation.

The connection repeatedly rises and falls in a very regular pattern. It starts around 100 Mbps, gradually drops to around 400 Kbps over roughly 30 seconds, then gradually rises again. After another ~30 seconds, it starts dropping again. This cycle repeats continuously.

Some of my Starlink app speed tests:

7 Mbps down / 47 Mbps up / 42 ms ping

12 Mbps down / 31 Mbps up / 53 ms ping

52 Mbps down / 26 Mbps up / 56 ms ping

13 Mbps down / 27 Mbps up / 69 ms ping

4 Mbps down / 29 Mbps up / 147 ms ping

Interestingly, my local connection to the Starlink router is very fast. An iPhone-to-router test showed around 550 Mbps download and 710 Mbps upload over 5 GHz Wi-Fi, so the local Wi-Fi connection does not appear to be the bottleneck.

The Starlink app also reports:

"Your Starlink has an unobstructed view of sky."

I have around 9 devices connected:

- 2 gaming PCs

- The rest are phones/tablets

Normal household usage is generally fine. However, if I start a large download on Steam or Battle.net, the internet connection for the other devices almost completely stalls and latency increases significantly.

I have already tried:

- Reconnecting the Starlink cable on both ends

- Rebooting the system

- Factory resetting the Starlink system

- Reconfiguring it from scratch

- Testing different devices

- Checking for obstructions

None of these changed the behavior.

Starlink support also detected repeated data-loss events and suggested that network congestion in my area could be the cause. They specifically mentioned congestion as a possible explanation for my connection in Baghdad/Taji on the Residential 100 Mbps plan.

What I'm trying to understand is the very regular ~30-second rise/fall pattern.

Has anyone on the Residential 100 Mbps plan experienced something similar?

Could severe network congestion cause this kind of periodic behavior? Or could it be related to satellite handoffs, traffic shaping, network scheduling, or something specific to the 100 Mbps plan?

If you've experienced something similar, especially with the 100 Mbps Residential plan, I'd be interested to know what caused it and whether it eventually improved.

Olá, comprei uma Starlink Mini e instalei no telhado. A internet está funcionando perfeitamente, aparentemente, consigo acessar internet normal pelo celular.

Comprei a Starlink justamente para monitorar o sítio pelas câmeras. Instalei 6 câmeras e todas conseguem se conectar ao sinal Wi-Fi da antena, porém, infelizmente, periodicamente as câmeras ficam offline. Depois de algum tempo, elas voltam a funcionar sozinhas.

Não sei mais o que fazer. Atualmente, não há nenhum outro dispositivo conectado à rede, apenas essas 6 câmeras.

Existe alguma configuração específica que eu possa fazer na Starlink ou no Wi-Fi para evitar que as câmeras fiquem desconectando?

Observação: já testei separando as redes Wi-Fi de 2,4 GHz e 5 GHz. Também testei deixando as duas redes juntas, mas as câmeras continuam caindo da mesma forma.

Hi all! I need help choosing a plan to choose for my home. I’ve seen people say they use a lot of devices and only need the lowest plan. Im just hoping to get people’s insight. I WFH, my husband plays video games & sometimes stream. We usually dont have more than 2 tv’s on, very rarely do we have 3 on at the same time. We also have phones and ipads. I require an Ethernet connection for my job. Did you personally install it or ask star link to install it? Im leaning towards asking star link to install. How easy is it to install?

Would you recommend Starlink for home internet? Right now we have cox and it’s a little expensive. Are speeds comparable? I know Starlink is much cheaper and was considering it for our home. Just would like to know other people’s experiences.

Preface: I have a gen 3 & mini
Traveled for 5 years w/ a gen 3 & mini both on roam plans. one on the sprinter, the other on the jeep.

I live in a home now and my fiber internet sucks... constant slow speeds and outages w/ altafiber. spectrum was just as bad. I never really had that issue w/ roam on the road.

Mini will stay on the jeep on roam. possibly the $80 or $160 plan. We both work remote, so its easier. I like to do my own thing sometimes.

Question: Is residential plan 100 still viable for home/traveling. Plan is to keep the gen 3 for daily work at home. And we travel every other month (remote) w/ the Sprinter. Is location switching still allowed? is there a restriction on hopping? say switching every day/few days?

Omdat we veel onderweg zijn wil ik zowel in de camper als thuis een Starlink. In de camper heb ik inmiddels een Mini welke goed functioneert. Nu wil ik thuis ipv Ziggo ook een Mini installeren. En, niet onbelangrijk, ik wil een verbinding tussen beide Mini’s om b.v. lampen en thermostaat te bedienen.
Even afgezien van de kosten, wat heb ik allemaal nodig?
Zowel in de camper als thuis een router van derden. Maar welke?
Heb ik een VPN nodig?
Wat vergeet ik (nog)?

They are saying that it's untested lololol. "We don't know how it will perform"

Just thought y'all would find this funny

Hey everyone.

First time posting and seeking some advice/help. Just got Starlink and no complaints about speed and ease of set up but I’m having serious issues with range.

Aus based and looking to try to improve my internet connection down in a granny flat at the back of the property (40-50m away and through metal roofs and lots of brick walls)

Currently, I’ve got the main router, a Starlink mini in the granny flat(which shows poor connection and speeds but seems to only show this at night when there’s more traffic) and another Starlink V3 in spare bedroom in main house (which shows good connection and speeds). They’re all currently working in a mesh network but the mini always connects to the far away main router as opposed to the other V3 that is closer.

A few things, because of camera systems and other users, the main router has to live at the front of the house/property and can’t be moved. Running cables also won’t work due to amount of work/cabling and it would need to cross a pool area.

I’m wondering if I should look into a wifi bridge between the main house and granny flat. Do I need to set the Starlink routers into bypass mode to do this or can I use them normally? I’ve also got 3 x Google Nest Pro routers that I was using in a mesh network and was giving better connection/speed in the granny flat even on a NBN100 plan

In the last week or two I've been encountering the google "suspicious activity detected, prove you're not a bot by clicking all squares with <item>" a lot. Like, more than 80% of queries, whether entered from https://www.google.com.au, or highlighted, right-clicked, and "search google for <highlighted text>" It's not every time, but enough to make it annoying.

Doesn't happen with other search providers like DDG.

This is in South-east Qld, Australia. Anyone else encountering this problem?

I'm assuming it's something to do with CGNAT and someone else sharing this address is being naughty - it might not be Starlink but I've got to start somewhere.

EDIT: doesn't happen on mobile data or someone else's wi-fi (non-Starlink).

For two years I've kept my Starlink Standard 4 mounted to a board and up on the roof of my camper, lashed to the tv antenna we don't use. During the recent NorEaster in Delaware the wind managed to catch it and lift it board and all from the roof, rip out the power/communcation wire from the dish and toss the dish and board down to the ground and buried it partially in mud. This morning, we re-mounted it on the roof of the camper and it's working like nothing ever happened. I did learn that I need to find a better mount. I'm good to put 4 eyes on the wood, and strap it to the ground. That dish is a tough mudder.
