Hi, I've bought a standard kit (gen 3 dish without the engine for auto link).

I saw this in the Starlink shop. I don't understand if I can use this with my standard kit without the engine and with this attachement I can get an auto link or not. Sorry if this is a dumb question but i'm not understanding this. Thanks!

I'm planning to create a star link with all uses, that you can stick onto any surafce. With a single stong suction cup with a magic screw arm. Could get the job done, with the screw thread underneath it. What do you think?

Existe alguma taxa para fazer a ativação de uma Starlink Mini no Brasil? Saíram algumas reportagens em Agosto de 2024 mencionando uma taxa de R$1.500,00 pois se trataria de uma revenda "ilegal" à um país não apto a usar o aparelho.

Alguém teve esse problema ao ativar a Startlink Mini no Brasil? Se você utiliza o plano Viagem, você registrou o seu Endereço de Serviço no Brasil?

I live in North Queensland, Australia and have always had bad internet speeds that would at best be 5mb/s download and 2mb/s upload. I want to get a starlink service as no other options are better than what i've currently got. I mostly use the internet for gaming and have many devices on the network (8+). I live in a really old house so I don't have ethernet cables in my house (didn't know if it was important so thought i'd mention it). So, what kit would be the best for my situation at an affordable cost, and what extra hardware would i need? e.g mounts, cables ect. Also, Will I need to setup the hardware or will someone come out and do it? My house is also surrounded by tall trees and mountains (Don't know if that will make a difference). What speeds am I looking at possibly getting? Thanks in advance!

So basically i'm a Seafarer travelling around the world and wanted to purchase a Starlink mini. We have it onbaord but it is only limited 260 per month we have to save it until the next month reset it is really a struggle for me since also im a gamer, so i am planning to purchase my own Starlink mini buy it in the Philippines and also use it around the world.

1.) May i ask if there's a problem with the unit to set it up onboard a vessel?

2.) Do i need to change my billing address every 2 months?

3.) What service do i need to purchase for travelling around the world for a Seafarer like me

4.) Do i need to purchase another plan when arriving to a dofferwnt country?

Thanks for the advance Replies looking forward to it 😁

Let's say I buy a Starlink Mini in Europe, activate it there, and use it for a few months. I then move to the U.S. and want to change the service address to the U.S. Will activating it under a new account in the U.S. cause the Outside Region Fee to be charged?

Starlink Mini is rated IP67 but I have concerns about the seal around the face. It's hard to see in pictures, but there are imperfections all around the outside edge. Anyone else notice this or did I potentially receive a bad/defective product?

First snow event tonight since getting starlink 6 months ago. Not a very heavy snow whatsoever yet my speeds are consistently below 10 Mbps all evening. Has brought household to a halt for trying to do much of anything online.

Dish did start heating but it doesn’t seem to be doing much. Obstruction map is also filling up.

Is the service basically unusable during snow? I’ve had horrible service the last two weeks and now this. Very frustrating.

So I wanted to factory reset my Starlink and I noticed this screen. After I did so, I renamed my WiFi name and password, etc.

But, I realize that didn’t factory reset the Starlink hardware itself. I went to do so in the App and saw a warning that doing too many Factory Resets to the hardware could damage it.

Is that true? Can anyone else see that warning? Why would Factory Resetting the hardware potentially damage it?

Just got starlink a month ago and were paying $165 a month for this? How is this ok?

I just got a Starlink Mini today and created my account and setup my network settings.

I’m in Florida and I’m eligible for free service through the end of the year, but ended up having to pay $50 for the Roam plan (50gb).

1. Any idea why I had to pay since it said I was eligible for free service through the end of the year? Was it because I have a Mini and had to do the Roam (50gb) plan?

After I paid and set it up, it said it was paid through Jan 1, 2025. I just paused the service as I don’t need it now, but wanted to get everything set up. Now it says I have service through Dec 1, 2024.

2. When I restart it, will I have the remaining 29 days to use since I paid the full $50? Not sure how the pause feature works and o was wondering if anyone could explain.

Thanks!

It's not the fastest, but it works. And that's all that matters in the end.

Hello everyone! I am planning to be in Indonesia for 6 months and would like to get Starlink.

I would like to purchase the Starlink Mini, 50GB plan, 40 euros per month, is that option available Indonesia?

I am based in Spain now, can I order it in Spain and then use it in Indonesia or is it better to order it when I am in Indonesia?

Many thanks for your help!

So it seems the south / London is sold out on startlink - I can’t find anyway of contacting customer services without an account any ideas ? - I am at a rural location that can not get service from BT or open reach or anyone else - but it’s bang in that sold out area - any idea what the wait time is and if you really can’t get service from anyone else if you can jump the queue ?

Everyone i knows has it, it would literally be 10X as fast as what i have currently lol

Hi all, I’m going to be moving countries next year and will want to cancel and return my Starlink.

I’m in the UK on a hardware rental subscription. Any ideas?

Hello everyone! 😊

I recently bought a Starlink and would like to run the LAN cable through my house. Unfortunately, the connector doesn't fit through the hole. And i cant drill the Hole bigger.

Can anyone recommend a compatible cable that allows me to attach the connector myself? It should work with the standard Starlink system and be approximately 30 meters long.

Thank you so much in advance for your help! 🙏✨

Sorry for my english, its not my main language.

I read an interesting post on the background and political shenanigans of Starlink history on some subreddit a couple of months ago. It was well put and insightful, in a chronological timeline with references to higher-ups in defense companiea and policy makers. Does anyone know what this post might have been and can link to it?

I’ll try to keep this short. My BIL has a piece of property in a super rural location. We were up there all week, barely had any cell service. Eventually we want to open an RV/ Campground out of it (at least a year or two in the future since we need to develop the land). My sister and BIL also will be building their retirement/ permanent residential home there as well. There’s electricity that was recently put in on the property. I would love starlink for personal use as well. I live in another state as the property. So there’s 3 options, and two of them are personal and roam. We would like starlink for our campers one day but at this point it would just be for us as we work on the property. No one is up there on a constant basis, once every month or so at this point. Would roam be the best option for now? Also if it’s my account and I set it up under the property location, I wouldn’t be able to use that in my home state, correct? And how many users can be on the connection? Is it like WiFi where they just need a username and password? I see the kits, so I assume the connection is wherever the dish is set up? I appreciate the feedback, I’m not very tech savvy at all so apologies if these are stupid questions lol.

If you factory reset the router does it reset the obstruction map? My Mac's location services are not working with Starlink and I'm at a loss and thought a factory reset might help.

Estou indo para o Paraguai e pretendo comprar a Starlink Mini, que não está disponível no Brasil até então. O meu objetivo com esse aparelho é utiliza-lo com o plano de Viagem (ROAM), porém não entendi muito bem o que define em qual moeda eu ficarei pagando o plano de Viagem apartir do momento de compra do aparelho.

Lendo o site da Starlink entendi que a cobrança é feita com a moeda onde o seu Endereço de Serviço está registrado, porém o que define o meu Endereço de Serviço?

Comprando no Paraguai, terei que sempre pagar em Guarani? O site da Starlink fala o seguinte: "Se você usar o Serviço Móvel da Starlink em um país diferente do seu endereço de envio por mais de dois meses, a Starlink poderá exigir que você atualize o seu endereço cadastrado de acordo com a sua nova localização. Se sua nova localização não estiver em um território autorizado (marcado como “Disponível” ou em “Lista de Espera” no mapa da Starlink), seu serviço poderá ser suspenso imediatamente. Consulte os Termos de Serviço para mais informações."

Então suponho que se eu comprar no Paraguai, ativá-lo no território do Paraguai (plano de viagem), a primeira cobrança deverá ser feita em Guarani, porém as cobranças subsequentes deverão ser realizadas no local onde eu estiver fazendo a utilização do plano. Alguém que já teve experiência com isso poderia explicar melhor isso?

Além disso, por eu estar comprando um aparelho que não está disponível no Brasil, o plano de Viagem estará disponível para pagamento com REAL no Brasil?

I don’t understand the purpose of the congestion fee. If I am a paying customer in a congested area, then I’m getting reduced service. Why am I paying more for reduced service? Makes more sense that I would receive a discount for getting reduced service.

Anyone in Nigeria recently get Starlink and told they cannot install it because there's no more space on the network with currently available satellites?

Is it just a case of hooking up a secondary router to the starlink mini via the ethernet port?

Or are there any settings etc needing changed.

Also, what is the best router for the job?

Thanks in advance 🫡

Looking for a signal booster that works well with starlink. I am trying to get internet out to my shop. The signal reaches out there but dosent quite have enough juice for the squeeze. Can anyone recommend a good booster? Thank you
