Before Your Installer Arrives
A little preparation goes a long way toward ensuring your Starlink installation goes smoothly and delivers the best possible results. Whether you already have your Starlink kit or we are bringing one, these steps help our team work efficiently and get you connected faster.
Have Your Starlink Kit Ready
If you have already received your Starlink hardware, have the box accessible and unopened -- or if you have opened it, make sure all components are accounted for. The kit includes the dish, router, cable, and power supply. Let your installer know if anything appears damaged or missing so we can address it before starting the work.
If you ordered through Starnet Pros, we handle the hardware and bring everything needed for your specific installation.
Clear Access to the Mounting Area
Our team needs access to your roof, exterior walls, or wherever the dish will be mounted. Clear any items leaning against the house near likely mounting areas. If your installation involves a pole mount in the yard, ensure the area around the planned location is accessible. Trim back any branches or vegetation that might interfere with the work area -- though our team can advise on what actually needs trimming once we assess the obstruction picture.
Decide Where You Want the Router
Think about where you want your Starlink router placed inside your home. The ideal location is central to the areas where you use the internet most. Our installers will route the cable from the dish to this location, so knowing your preference in advance saves time and ensures the cleanest cable routing possible.
Ensure Power Is Available
Starlink requires a standard electrical outlet near the router location. Make sure the outlet works and is easily accessible. For off-grid properties running on solar or generator power, confirm your system is powered up and ready before the appointment.
Be Home During Installation
Plan to be present for the full installation. Our team will want to walk you through the setup, discuss mounting options, confirm router placement, and verify your speeds together before we leave. We also educate you on using the Starlink app, checking for issues, and basic troubleshooting. Installations typically take one to three hours depending on complexity. Customers with professional installation regularly achieve speeds over 600 Mbps, and we confirm those numbers before wrapping up.
