My bad, this thing for some reason doesn’t like the rj45 connectors I had used on the outdoor section of wiring. Everything appeared good and seemed to work when I tested it inside with my laptop-router. Re-terminated with a different brand of connectors I had and it is working now. the unshielded wire doesn’t seem to have harmed the throughput, I’m still getting ~100Mbps like I was previously

I live where there is no cellphone functionality; the cell signal strength is about -120db. Cellphones will detect my router's wi-fi signal, but (I believe) due to the fact that the cell signal I am able to receive does not have the "LTE" component, cellphones will not give satisfactory performance. Is there a method to utilize Starlink in combination with some other technology, as a workaround? Any insight would be appreciated.

Turn off any VPNs on your phone before trying to do the wifi "Starlink" steps.

While away on vacation a planned (planned after I left) power outage occurred. I didn't worry as it was plugged into a surge protected UPS and this has occurred successfully before. Upon returning I found that my router was not recognizing it had power. It was in router bypass mode to use my own router. I have tried the following: - Testing different plugs that I know work - Factory resetting through the plug in and out method - Tested the external router at my neighbors (no issue) I have contacted customer support but was looking to see if anyone had recommendations while I wait.

Thanks. The NAS has no internet syncing configured, and is not exposed to the internet for remote access. I do however need to use the DNS zone on the Synology router so various clients can get to the NAS easily. I don't believe the Gen3 Starlink router will perform this service. When the Starlink is in bypass mode, is its wifi turned off? We used the same SSID/pw on the starlink router (before set to bypass mode) when configuring the Synology router. We did this to ease client transition. If the Gen3 wifi is still on, I can change the SSID/pw so no one will join there when the Synology is providing wifi.

Ja ich habe das selbe Problem seit 07.03 keine WLAN-Anrufe VoiceOverWIFI mehr möglich. Bin in Österreich zuhause am Berg ohne normalen Empfang und telefoniere über WLAN mit Starlink. Netzbetreiber ist A1. Bitte um Hilfe 🙏🏽 Danke

Google Fi provides service via WiFi and, this, coupled with Starlink, works well for me and my wife's phones.

Hi @Xavier77ITA Unfortunately starlink does not accept prepaid cards. However they do support credit cards, debit cards, and ApplePay. You can add prepaid card to apple pay - Then use apple pay to purchase. Starlink currently does not offer annual plans - However, check the plan options during signup as they may have annual options available. You can use the same card/apple pay to pay for all six kits. Hope this helps 🙂

Updates will resolve issues / bugs 🙂

Glad to hear its working 🙂

You will need to install a Dual-WAN router than can handle two Internet connections if you want to use both connections simultaneously. This requires somewhat advanced knowledge of networking. I've actually done this and found that it works well, but I was using a $2,500 commercial router and had someone skilled who was willing to help me with the setup.

Same here. Starlink updated to 2024.10.13.MR44429 and the message to prompt me to update has gone. Everything seems to work fine. in the meantime I receive a reply for support 1 hour ago: “I do apologize that you are having issues with updates being ran on your Dish, we are aware of this issue and are actively working to resolve this.” so it was indeed a software related issue!

What you're looking for is "Bypass Mode" which disables pretty much all router functions and passes the WAN address out by DHCP to your own router or firewall. Once in Bypass the only way back is to factory reset the SL router, but that's an easy button press. Note they use CGNAT so your address will be on 100.64.0.0/10. This also means you'll still have double NAT.

Starlink doesn't offer static IPs. You can get a public-facing IP, but it is still DHCP and subject to rotation. However, the official response from Starlink is that it rarely changes (even during reboots/firmware upgrades). It basically functions as a static IP, but they reserve the right to change it for network reconfiguration at their benefit. You can now get a Starlink "enterprise kit" that is the standard dish without the router. It includes a power supply and longer cable for $799 if I'm not mistaken.

If you need to remove the cable, tie waxed cord to the plug end and pull the cable free. When it's time to put the cable back, the cord should easily renew the cable without snagging.
