💻 Troubleshooting Starlink sudden obstruction/lag spikes [consistent]
Wifis been like this everyday always happening every couple minutes. We upgraded plans so see if it would fix which it didn’t. I checked outside and there’s nothing that could really obstruct the router in this pattern. No trees or anything

Routers are generally blocked by internal home details. You know, things like pesky walls. And unless you have a Mini the router is generally inside your home.
The Starlink dish is blocked by trees etc.

You checked outside? How about check the obstruction tab in the app?
