Steve Fundy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Aloha all, Starlink thinks I am in LA, but I am actually in Hawaii. What can I do to get my location to be correct? Certain things don't work properly as a result. Mahalo, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 FWIW, I have the same problem and Starlink has told me there is nothing to be done. It affects EVERYTHING... Channel selection and advertising on my Smart TVs, location on most web sites. The answer to your question: Nothing. The satellites you are connecting to are connecting to Starlink's ground station in Los Angeles. Your IP Address is assigned by the ground station. This is all automated in the management of the Starlink network. Starlink Support, to date, has not been able to provide any way to override your IP Address. You should contact the owners of those "certain things" that "don't work properly" and ask them what can be done.Sorry I don't have a different answer.

Steve Fundy Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Thanks for your reply. Yeah, being a retired IT person I knew straight away that the IP address assigned is based at a facility in LA, but I had hoped that someone knew of a workaround so your actual location would be known. Oh well Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The only possibility might be a VPN service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
