Starlink Performance (Gen 1) Kit – Setup Guide
1. To get started, 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. To find a location with a clear view of the sky take the following steps:
a. Download the Starlink app.
b. Use the “Check for Obstructions” tool to find an install location that will deliver the best service.
c. For best results, Starlink should be installed as close to vertical as possible.
If you cannot 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.
2. Install and Power on Starlink
a. Plug in Starlink and place into the base (or into your selected mount)
b. Starlink will automatically level itself to search for satellites overhead. Do NOT attempt to manually adjust your Starlink.
c. After a few minutes, Starlink will make an initial connection to the Starlink constellation and tilt to the optimum angle for satellite coverage (slightly north or south based on your location in the northern or southern hemisphere).
3. Getting Connected
a. On your device, find and connect to the STARLINK network in your WiFi settings
b. To secure your Starlink WiFi network, use the Starlink App to rename your Starlink WiFi network and create a WiFi password. Open the Starlink App > Settings > Router > enter desired WiFi network name and password > Save.
- This step is optional, but we recommend securing your WiFi network.
c. You are now connected! Open the Starlink App to customize additional settings, check your connection, and more.
