Tried running combined network 2.4/5ghz together? May have to run a lower end AP for the devices on IOT WiFi ( I call it IOT wifi because they use wifi for low bandwidth comms ) - Try a ubnt unifi AP - You can reconfigure them fairly easily to do 2.4ghz without unscheduled power delivery/management.

The ' Tesla Explr9 ' is not compatible with starlink, it doesn't contain any KU/KA band phased array antennas. Tesla/Starlink/SpaceX does not provide any Sim cards.

Hi all, I'm using the Starlink Gen 3 router and I'm facing issues with smart home devices on my network. After restarting the router, everything works fine for a while, but then all the smart devices stop responding. Interestingly, they still appear as "connected" in the Starlink app. I have two separate Wi-Fi networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz). The devices I use include: Sonoff, Tuya, Xiaomi, Ezviz, and Google Nest. My phone stays connected and works normally, but the smart devices lose functionality. All updates are installed, and I’m not using any mesh or Wi-Fi extenders. My question is: could a single faulty device (e.g., a smart bulb) be causing issues that affect the whole network and make all the other smart devices stop working? or is something else ?

I have a brand new Tesla phone Model # EXPLR9. Can I connect it to Starlink Satellite? If I can, will someone please tell me how I can get a SIM Card from Tesla? Any and all help greatly appreciated !

What type of phone?

i got same problem with perplexity app, fitness pal, and with gmail when i am sending emails with attachments, its not working on android device if its connected to starlink wifi...if i change to mobile data its all fine working, i tried like you, restarting router, restarting dish, changing dns to custom google and cloudfire, removing custom dns, updating software on phone etc. Funny thing is if you try all of that on PC its working fine on starlink internet. Only phones are having problem

Has the dish moved? Its possibly moved from wind? Have you done a complete power down and reboot?

Pretty certain I have a generation 3 dishy. It was installed in February of 2024 so I’ve had it for 14 months without issue. Last night my PC lost connection on 2 occasions and when I look at my app, it says I’m out of alignment by 6 degrees. The image shows it too tilted. How can this be if it’s been fine for 14 months? Will this correct itself or will I have to climb up there and manually fix it? Outside of those 2 quick disconnections, the internet has been fine. Justin

If the router is assigned to your account - You can then login to the associated user and make changes to the router. You cannot use someone elses account to make changes on an owned router - assigned to another user.

Please I need a Starlink account to modify, my router.

I would recommend getting an experienced network engineer to configure DHCP appropriately for you. There is numerous cheap routers that can run openwrt and do captive portals....

Yep - Starlink will work all OK for VOIP. Starlink achieves 30ms latency.

AT&T does support WiFi Calling - https://www.att.com/features/wifi-calling/ So you just need WiFi Your queries: you mention using WiFi Calling across Starlink at major events. Answer: I run a company which provides WiFi to events, we use both individual starlink kits and starlink kits plugged into " Mesh " Wireless - Where we can push internet to say 15-20 different areas across a large music festival. Are these major events at locations away from the location of your own Starlink system? No, you've ventured down a rabbit hole - WiFi Calling/WiFi doesn't just connect to all starlinks, ONLY the WiFi networks that you're connected to. Could you explain exactly how your cellphone would access a Starlink system other than your own? As mentioned above you're assuming that I can roam on WiFi Calling and use everyone elses WiFi - Not the case. You can only use WiFI networks, where you have the password and your connected. - WiFi is not intended to replace cell signal... its lower range. I assume that your phone would be detecting that Starlink system's router's wi-fi; would it not usually be password-protected to prevent it from being overwhelmed by many users? See above. WiFi Calling runs on top of WiFi, it uses the internet - It will work across any WiFi with at least 2mbps/2mbps up and down.

StarlinkLeader, Sorry for the tardy reply - got tied-up. My cellphone provider, AT&T, does support wi-fi. I am curious; you mention using WiFi Calling across Starlink at major events. Are these major events at locations away from the location of your own Starlink system? Could you explain exactly how your cellphone would access a Starlink system other than your own? I assume that your phone would be detecting that Starlink system's router's wi-fi; would it not usually be password-protected to prevent it from being overwhelmed by many users?

Is there anyone in the Starlink community that has any experience using Starlink as the connection for VOIP? My VOIP provider, Nextiva, tells me that I would require an ISP connection that has ping of less than 150ms, jitter of less than 20ms, and packet loss of less than 1% to work well. Any insight would be appreciated.

I was getting the IP from the AP through the switch. But most probably it was static IP.

Have you configured DHCP on the LAN NIC? Are you getting an IP from the DHCP server from another device plugged into the switch?

Does the starlink router do DNS zones? That is a requirement for this deployment.

Hi, can you please help me configure it, I tried to connect starlink router via laptop wifi (since I don't have usb ethernet adaptor), then lan to switch and switch to AP. But not working.

It wouldn't hurt trying the lite plan first in all honesty, see how you go then upgrade 🙂

Many many thanks for your kind thoughts, sounds like I better use the regular version of Starlink.

Hi There, I would recommend checking out this article: https://www.starlink.com/nz/support/article/7d87da5b-ff9c-1d52-a433-4a78c20b6fd5

I have already tried many methods, the mail is working, I receive and send messages from it, sent tickets, starlink just stopped responding. Is there any way to change the mail without access to the account, because the only problem is that the authentication code does not come to the mail.

If you run starlink router into your laptop via usb ethernet adapter, then you go back into the network switch via ethernet port on laptop... So 2x networks.... into laptop. Internet in, network out to switch... Run DHCP server on your laptop, radius. Configure the DHCP to your captive portal/radius. DHCP runs out from laptop, captive portal etc. There you go.... laptop running captive portal.

Is it possible to make my laptop work as router for radius desk server configuration. Like, i connect my starlink router & ap to switch .and connect switch to laptop
