Dish 500 feet from router
StarlinkLeader replied to Rojillio's topic in Starlink Troubleshooting & Questions
Extending your Starlink connection with a 500-foot cable is generally not recommended and likely won't work effectively. Starlink uses high-frequency signals that can degrade over long distances when passed through a cable. Here’s why: Signal Degradation: The longer the cable, the more signal loss you'll experience. This is particularly critical for the high-frequency signals used by satellite systems like Starlink, which are more susceptible to degradation over distance compared to lower frequency signals. Power Loss: Starlink's system includes a PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector, which powers the dish. Extending the cable too far could result in insufficient power reaching the dish, preventing it from operating correctly or reducing its efficiency. Cable Type and Quality: Even with high-quality coaxial or Ethernet cables designed for minimal signal loss, the length you're considering would likely exceed the capabilities of standard consumer-grade materials. Official Recommendations: Starlink typically recommends using the cable lengths provided in their kit to ensure optimal performance. Any modification beyond this can result in reduced service quality or complete outage. If you absolutely must position your Starlink setup further from its connection point, consider using a signal amplifier or repeater, though compatibility and effectiveness can vary. Alternatively, it might be better to look for ways to relocate the dish closer to your connection point or use multiple access points or a mesh network to extend your Wi-Fi coverage, rather than extending the primary cable from the dish itself. -

Go into your Starlink app and select the the settings tab on the bottom, in here you will see Split 2.4/5Ghz Networks. Toggle the switch to the right and you will see a little bit of blue just left of the toggle, you have enabled the split. This will create 2 networks

Question on transferring / 2nd Starlink system
StarlinkLeader replied to JonB's topic in Starlink Troubleshooting & Questions
As the equipment is damaged, I would simply purchase a new starlink via the app/web whilst logged in - Then await the new kit to arrive, then cancel old damaged service. As far as Im aware there is no easy replacement process. Then claim the damage costs with your insurance provider ( if it applies ) Hope this helps 🙂 -
