SpaceX Manuals & User Guides

SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.) is a private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded by Elon Musk in 2002. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft.

For consumers, SpaceX is best known for operating Starlink, a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites that delivers high-speed, low-latency broadband internet to underserved and remote areas across the globe. Starlink provides user-friendly satellite dishes and mesh Wi-Fi routers designed for easy self-installation and reliable connectivity in extreme environments.

• How do I set up my Starlink internet?

  To set up your Starlink, use the Starlink app to find a clear view of the sky, plug the dish into power, and it will automatically level itself to search for satellites. Then, connect to the STARLINK WiFi network.

• What should I do if my Starlink is offline or cannot get online?

  Open the Starlink app to check for alerts or obstructions, verify the router light, ensure all cables are securely plugged in, and power cycle the system by unplugging it and plugging it back in. If the issue persists, contact Starlink Support.

• How can I find a clear view of the sky for Starlink installation?

  Download the official Starlink app and use the 'Check for Obstructions' tool. If you cannot find a clear view from the ground level, consider an elevated installation on a roof or pole using official mounts.

• Can I use a third-party router with Starlink?

  Yes, you can use your own router for additional features, though the included Starlink router is adequate for most users. You will likely need to purchase a Starlink Ethernet Adapter for a wired connection to your third-party router.
