2. Find A Clear View of Sky and Check for Obstructions

Your Starlink needs a clear view of the sky to stay connected with satellites as they move overhead. Objects that obstruct the connection, such as tree branches, poles, or roofs, will cause service interruptions. Use the obstruction tool in the App to ensure you have selected a suitable mounting location.

If a clear field of view cannot be found from ground level, consider installing in an elevated location like a roof, pole, or wall. Additional mounts and accessories are available for purchase on the Starlink Shop.

  4. Power cycle your Starlink by unplugging from power and plugging back in.
  5. Factory reset the Starlink by locating the reset icon on the back. Press down firmly until you hear a click and hold for 3 seconds. The LED will blink quickly and shut off when complete.
