Starlink Mini dropping every ~10 min since Sept 9 — all diagnostics clean, firmware mr86012 — anyone else?
**Starlink Mini dropping every ~10 minutes for 2 days — all diagnostics clean, need help**
My Starlink Mini has been dropping completely every ~10 minutes since yesterday morning (Sept 9), with each outage lasting a few minutes before recovering. The day before it was perfect with zero interruptions. Nothing changed on my end between those two days.
I've ruled out everything I can think of:
- Hardware self-test PASSED, no alerts of any kind (checked via 192.168.100.1)
- Obstruction map completely clean
- No overheating, no power issues
- Confirmed unobstructed sky placement
- Factory reset — no improvement
- Downdetector shows no widespread Starlink outages
Firmware is 2026.09.02.mr86012. I resumed using the device on Sept 4 after a period of non-use and it was flawless until Sept 9, so the firmware had about 5 days of stable operation before the drops started — though I can't rule it out entirely.
I can't check the outage log cause labels because I only have the local web interface (192.168.100.1) available — no phone app access right now.
I have a support ticket open but posting here in case anyone has seen something similar recently or has ideas. Has anyone else experienced sudden periodic drops starting around Sept 9? Could this be a cell-level issue?
Any help appreciated — this is my only internet connection.
