Install the Cables
Lift the kickstand and plug one end of the provided cables into your Starlink with the cable locking feature facing up. Ensure the plug is fully inserted such that the plug face is flush with the surface. To remove cable, pull firmly outward as there is no release tab.
Route the other end of the Starlink cable to your Router and plug it into the port number 1 indicated with the antenna symbol on the back of the router.
Plug the Gen 3 Router into a power outlet using the power cable and power supply.
Find A Clear View of the Sky
Your Starlink needs a clear view of the sky so it can stay connected with satellites as they move overhead. Objects that obstruct the connection between your Starlink and the satellite, such as a tree branch, pole, or roof, will cause service interruptions. Use the obstruction tool in the App to ensure you have selected a suitable mounting location.
If you could not find a clear field of view from the 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.
Connect and Align Starlink
Step through the Starlink install process on the Starlink App. Once connected, an alert on the App will show if you need to rotate Starlink to be properly aligned. Click the alert to use the alignment tool.
