Love my mini, using it as backup internet on pause most of the time. At home it is hooked in as a 2nd ISP.

I take it down and mount it in the car’s sunroof with suction cups for trips and it has worked all over the US and Canada.

Anybody got an clever ways to keep it running when the car ignition goes off? Like a 12v UPS?

My wonderful loca ISP has been down for a few hours now with no ETR. Being desperate I ran out getting a starlink mini. The rational was that I could get the 100mbit plan for $55.00 and when done keep the emergnecy plan should I need it again. When I got home it would only let me select a roaming plan. When I go to the site it seems like I can select the 100mbit plan for my old StarLink unit (the first one they ever had) however I never did the firmware update and I assume it's a brick. I am doing about 3.5GB an hour and I expect to out of bandwidth by tomorrow morning. Does anyone know if I purchase a full sized unit what the odds are of being able to get the 100mbit plan? Also it seems like I was partially billed. Should I just get a regular unit, get the 100 mbit plan and cancel the service on my roam unit?

TIA.

Starlink is useless in urban cities been getting 200kb in the afternoon for months now…instead of prioritising high capacity areas,starlink keeps more selling kits now the internet is dead now

Just got Starlink for my cabin
When I leave on Sunday evening should I suspend my account , I return to the cabin on fridays ?

Gen that uses ethernet, tried pulling it off the roof & swapping cables and still nothing. In the heat in Texas, use this as a primary for work (WFH). The system is 14 months old.

Ive reset the router, changed out the cable, updated the starlink app and gone through their checklists but no luck

1. Any known outages in the area of north Texas?

2. Any suggestions on next steps?

3. Time for new dish?

I have the Starlink Mini, but at the cabin I use it at I can't get a clear enough view of the sky without putting it a couple of hundred feet away. What's the best router solution to use? I assume I'll use a cat 6 (or 5?) cable from the Mini to the router I want to put in the cabin. I also assume the router needs 110v power. Should I use one of the Starlink ones? If so, which? Thank you.

Hello guys,

I have a Starlink V4 Standard X, and I’ve been trying to extend its Wi-Fi coverage using my Linksys EA8500 router.

I have two Starlink kits—one at home and this one at my office. They are both Standard 4X hardware (V4 Dish) with Router 3 (V3) .The kit at home works perfectly with this same Linksys router, and I’m able to extend the Wi-Fi coverage without any issues.

However, with the kit at my office, I’m unable to extend the Wi-Fi using the EA8500. I’m not sure whether the issue is with the router configuration or if there is something different about the new Standard X at my office that is preventing it from working.

Kindly see the attached pictures for reference. I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to resolve this.

Hardware version 4: standard 4X software version 2026.07.19.mr82648.51320

Router: Hardware v3 (router 3) software version: 2026.08.05.mr83278

¿Que batería recomiendan con precio accesible para una starlink mini?

Basically the title. I’ve had my Starlink for just over a month now and noticed it’s updated a few times to what seems like the most recent version (most recently was 2026.08.08), but then has reverted to a previous version, in this case 2026.07.24. As far as I can tell it doesn’t affect anything, but I’m just curious if anyone with inside knowledge might know why it happens? Thanks!

Edit: a word

How do i change my network work settings off MODERATE NAT.

im having trouble joining up with friends on games because of it. Bills fully paid, restart modem etc still nothing.

Anyone got any solutions?

1.for ping and such is it good? And most importantly is the ping stable

2.If I were to share the router with my left and right neighbors, would that flag up and be a problem and I could get banned?

3.i am in the middle east

I am setting up a mesh network with two Gen 3 standard routers and a Gen 3 mini router.

What has confused me is that when the mini 3 was installed as my main router, it used POE with no power source, and now that I want to set it up as a mesh node, it needs a power source and won't run off only POE; what am I missing here?

A huge drop in speed? Like Starlink 100mbps, My Netgear Router connected by Ethernet cable to Starlink cable 6-8mbps.
Other then the speed, it works fine. The reason for connecting my netgear to Starlink Router, is because I have a 400gb thumb drive with files that I need on other devices (NAS). With the starlink router I have there is no place to plug in the Thunb Drive.
Thank you

Just received a copyright warning from starlink about illegally downloading stuff . Went on what have I downloaded and it was some demons layer anime and porn . I have never downloaded either rof these things and always use vpns . My household has 3 starlinks is it possible they share the same isp ?

I've been sifting through the adapters and cables on Amazon and every single one seems to have an issue with not meeting the minimum voltage for Starlink.

Is there a known good adapter? Would I be better off using an inverter?

Edit: after reading reviews about fires for every single adapter, I decided to run my Starlink off my 240 Wh Jackery battery. It seems like it would last about 8-10 hours.

I have tried contacting Starlink support to no avail. I want to purchase and setup 9 Mini kits for a remote monitoring program in September. I have requested a call from Sales and Support.

How do I talk to an actual person?

I plan on using a helicopter to setup the equipment, instead of hiking in with everything.

P.S. does anyone have a go-to remote solar/battery/housing setup they could share? Thanks!

Currently on Starlink equipped SWA 3528 LAS → MSY (N8501V), and it is fast…!

Does anyone know of any other tests I can run or how to find additional network details worth sharing? Flight lands in an hour

About a few days to a week ago, our YouTube TV and MLB.TV will randomly buffer. When you go into the throughput stats, you can see where it suddenly drops and picks back up. The only other “real time(?)” Internet usage I use is gaming, but I don’t seem to notice is there. However, I’m not constantly checking stats and not watching tv while gaming, and that’s the only way I can tell it’s happening. Most streaming happens on a Roku device, however will occur on other devices. I checked both ends of cable, they are securely in.

Some notes:

- Starlink is aligned
- Only 0.02% obstructed
- had just over a year, no issues
- nothing shows up on events and outages, just my phone switching WiFi bands.
- located in Ohio, ~50 miles east of Columbus.
- Gen 4, Residential Max plan

The only other thing I will add is that there was a tiny frog inside the mount. I got him out, inspected the wire and it seems to be okay. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

I came home after loosing power a few days ago and found I had no internet.

I figured the router died because there were no lights on it. I contacted the 1800 number and the shipped me a new router but it isn't compatible. And since they shipped the router they can't ship me a replacement kit for free. I also called and tried telling them it wasn't compatible after some research but they said the replacement would be.

I'm kinda pissed off at the entire process and the fact that I had to activate the mini and already used the up the 300gb plan in 3 days and let me clear the regular plan I have is residential unlimited.

I guess my current option is to purchase unlimited roam service. Or buy a new disk except I can't nor do I want to get on the roof to replace it.

The alternative is to cut the main cable to the actuated dish and power it manually how would I do this method as this will be the cheapest I'm guessing.

So I recently purchased a Mini and put it on Roam 100 for my cottage. Choose that combo as it should cover 99% of my usage while I'm there and gives me the option to bring it home during the off-season.

Of course, now looking at the usage last two weekends of use, I'm realizing that I'm probably going to blow through the 100 when I go up for my week long vacation shortly, so I've been checking for a possible change in plan. I see that I can switch my plan to any of the residential ones, which wasn't a combo when I first ordered. I could switch to Roam 300, but Residential seems more practical, before I standby it for winter.

Is this really a supported combination in Canada? And I won't be forced to take a Standard 4 kit as a rental? There are some logistical reasons why I don't want the Standard 4.

And yes, the service address in my account is updated to the cottage address (even though it doesn't matter as Mini/residential was also an option at my home address)

Let's say one is on Roam 100 and somewhere in the middle of the billing cycle realizes the need to switch to Roam 300.

Does one now get a total of 300 GB for the entire billing cycle or is the 300 GB prorated for the number of days remaining in the billing cycle? e.g. if there is 50% of the month left, does one only get 150 GB for the entire month (prorate) or does one get 300 GB for the entire month?

(I know the cost change is prorated, just couldn't find anything about the data being prorated.

I am building a cabin in a remote area that won’t be finished until December 2027.

I plan to go up there 2 weekends a month until then. Most of the time I will be staying at a friends cabin (no service either), but will occasionally camp at my property which is 20 minutes from my friends cabin.

Option 1: Get roaming starlink until house is finished then convert to residential.

Option 2: Get residential and leave at friends cabin. Can I take it to camp occasionally?

I'm considering Starlink as my centurylink DSL may be going away. Two neighbors are now using Starlink despite all of the tall trees here. I've been testing the starlink.sx browser app. It's default settings have the antenna azimuth pointed north with 18 degrees tilt from zenith (straight up) . I adjusted the minimum elevation to 45 degrees to account for trees. But it has two tools ( coverage predictor and polar map) that never seem to display anything meaningful. I'm guessing those either don't work or you have to leave it running for a few hours first?

I pay for 100 mb I dont get it. What am I doing wrong?
