HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS FOR THE HARD TO REACH PLACES.

Starlink is a branch of SpaceX, yes the company that is ran by Elon Musk, Not only is he the man that brought us the Tesla car, SpaceX rockets and maned spaceships. He has plans for a worldwide high speed internet system that will provide truly high speeds data for residential homes that are not able to get high speed internet via the phone and cable companies.

Starlink Internet service will be around $110 per month and equipment will cost $550.

Equipment includes a single port wifi router, the auto aligning dish, dish ground stand, a POE power injector to power the dish and 3 bundles of cat5e wire to run to the dish.

The single port router lets you plug in a 2nd wifi mesh system with extra wired ports. A weak router can be the downfall of any internet system. Get a good router!

What Are Starlink Speeds?

In the tests that we have seen online, it appears that with no obstructions in the view you can expect to get above 70 meg down and above 15 meg up. Which is more then enough speed for the average home with a good wifi system.

Remember it is always better to hardwire equipment like streaming devices.

Here Is The Basic Install of A Starlink System.

Installing the base system is very easy if you have a clear view.

First thing you need to know is the dishy has a built in cable for networking (maybe 100' long). So prewiring a cat 5 or a cat6 cable to the dish area will not work.
Before you mount the dishy, make sure to use the "Starlink app" to check visibility for the dishy. Make sure it is a clear view for the dishy to see the northern sky. It is really easy to use. there are multiple videos on youtube on it.
I used my old satellite dish mount, just drilled a hole through the top of the mount where the dishy fits in it and put in a set screw.
The dishy plugs into a POE devise that comes with the kit. The POE powers the dish and the router.
Once you plug the dishy and the router into the POE and plug the POE device into a power outlet the dishy will auto calibrate and start looking for the satellite positions.
It will take the system a little bit of time to update, but you should be aple to hook up to the routers wifi at this point.
Hooking up to the wifi. On your cell phone look at available wifi signals and hook up to the Starlink ssid. In the Starlink app you should now be able to see connectivity and do a speed test. Our speeds here in the NW (Portland) we get anywhere from 40 meg down to 180 meg down and usually around 12 meg up. We are very populated and our ground signal is from Seattle at this time, so we are sharing the signal with a lot of people. The speed is far better then DSL but not as good as Fiber. The Starlink wifi signal is really pretty good.
House networking - You can plug your house network into the back of the Starlink router and it will do just fine. BUT if you have any need to do any port forwarding or have cameras it will not work, at this time. Fortunately you can just unplug the Starlink router and plug in any DHCP setup router and it will work with no problems other then the Starlink app will not connect up to the router as it is not in play. I plugged our house router directly into the line coming from the Starlink POE injector with no problems.

We have a smart home with Control4 automation through out. 2 different Camera systems, Wyze cameras and ip based system, 3 TV's streaming at once at night and the systems run just fine.

The one thing that does affect us, our TV streaming service, thinks we are in Seattle, I had to call Fubo and tell them about the problem and they were able to correct it at their end in about 10 minutes.
