  1. 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.
  2. Yes you can roam with your starlink mini however it's best to check starlink FAQ on roaming to different countries.
  3. What exact issues are you having? Your post lacks any direct details in regards of the actual issue. E.g What errors are you having issues with? We cannot assist with the lack of customer support - However if full details of your issue is provided we can assist.
  4. Yes, If you just keep the account active - Then no need to transfer it.
  5. Have you tried resetting your router?
  6. Just use shielded cable? With the appropriate Ethernet tips that support grounding.
  7. 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
  8. Update: Question: Is starlink suitable for live broadcasting? Answer:
  9. Hi sickdog check via the Starlink.com website, login to your current Starlink account and you can check your new plan pricing there.
  10. 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 🙂
  11. Have you received any emails? Have you searched for starlink within your email account? Has your payments been coming out all ok?
  12. This forum section is for announcements, news. Feel free to post in the technical support section.
  13. You can use the " KIT # " on the starlink box to create a new account. You can also possibly find the code, serial number on the router. However within support.starlink.com:
  14. Please create a new thread with relevant information.
  15. Yes you can setup Starlink then setup a point to point wireless bridge between starlink and your other building. Then hook up a 3rd party access point such as UBNT mesh AP's or TPlink Mesh access points.
  16. Have you submitted a support ticket to Starlink in regards to this issue?
  17. Update your phone and/or download a lower version APK of the starlink app however it is not recommended.
  18. Do you have access to your account still? I'd recommend sending in a support ticket.
  19. Wrap the cable in a protectant. e.g a wrap thats got de-icing properties. The kit is designed to be installed once and thats it - Unplugging, replugging in whilst the cable is obviously frozen will damage any cable connection including the solder within the cable joint into the head.
  20. Enable bypass mode within advanced settings in the WiFi area of the app. Bypass mode needs to be activated in order to turn on ethernet.
  21. The account is most likely locked due to the many incorrect attempts. Try from a different device and firstly reset the password - https://auth.starlink.com/forgot-password
