This is my first time installing a new Starlink dish for a new customer. Being an electrical engineer and network installer and in building construction, I mounted the dish to the side of a gabel roof with the optional mounting bracket, free of any obstructions. Secured the 150 foot cable, routing it to the home office inside and connected the optional Ethenet module between the dish cable and the wi-fi router. The homeowner was out so I connected my laptop to the Ethernet jack and soon was online. Inserted the customer's desired Wi-Fi SSID name and password. Now I need to regroup and have the customer use the app to manage their new Starlink, make the Wi-Fi secure, and connect it to their existing network. I have searched varous YouTubes with conflicting and old video walk-thrus.
I would appreciate links to how most efficiently I should configure the Starlink system with the customer using their app. Such as how to make the Wi-Fi secure. Have it broadcast the new desired SSID and password access. Eventually this new system will replace the existing AT&T modem/router/wi-fi unit. I need to connect the existing NVR (network video recorder) camera surveillance system to Starlink. Should I put it into the Bypass mode (and how) and insert a small router/Wi-Fi so its DHCP take control or connect the Starlink to a Switch which will provide expanded access for other Wired devices like the NVR video recorder?
I am a big fan of SpaceX and the Starlink solution for global internet. I can see being an installer for other customers and would appreciate some guidance on Best Practices going forward.
Thank you,
