Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Starlink

Setting up Starlink is a straightforward process that can be accomplished easily with the help of some useful tools. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Ensure an Unobstructed View: Find a location with a clear view of the sky. Use the “Check for Obstructions” tool on the Starlink app, available for both iOS and Android, to identify the best installation spot that offers optimal service.

2. Power Up Starlink: Plug in your Starlink terminal to a power source.

3. Satellite Connection: Within a few minutes, your Starlink terminal will connect to the satellites in orbit.

4. Automatic Leveling: Starlink will automatically adjust and level itself to search for satellites directly overhead. It’s essential not to attempt any manual adjustments during this process.

5. Optimum Angle for Coverage: After the initial connection, Starlink will tilt itself to the ideal angle for satellite coverage. The tilt direction may be slightly north or south, depending on your location in the northern or southern hemisphere.

6. Connect to High-Speed Internet: Once the setup is complete, you can connect your device to the high-speed Starlink internet, and you’re ready to enjoy reliable internet service.

Note: After the initial setup, your Starlink terminal may need to download the latest software for optimal performance. This will happen automatically overnight, or you can keep an eye on the Starlink app for any messages regarding the update status.
