Starlink Installation Services

Can I setup Starlink on my own?

Many aren’t aware that additional equipment such as ethernet adapters, longer cables, mesh routes, and suitable mounts might be necessary for your Starlink installation services. For instance, the Starlink standard actuated Gen 2 comes with a 15.2m cable that might not be enough in an area that will require a longer cable.

There are a few factors to consider when determining professional Starlink Installation:

• Where is the Starlink satellite going to be located: ie. how difficult is it to access this location, how far is this location from where you require internet access.
• What obstructions exist that may interfere with signal reception and what height is required to avoid them: is there clear line of sight or are there tall trees, structures or buildings in the way.
• What is the construction of your house: flat or pitched roof, is there a crawl space or wall cavities to run the cable through, single or double storey, tile or metal roof, brick veneer or cladding for the walls, is it timber or steel-framed.
• Where will the Starlink Router be located within the house and will the Starlink supplied cable(15.2m) be long enough.
• Do you need to boost your WiFi signal inside the house, or to other buildings, once Starlink is installed.
• Do you need a wired connection (LAN): we recommend the best routers and switches that give optimal speeds for the whole office or home set up. The extra routers and switches are compatible with your Starlink router.

Our installation guide

GrandHub provides comprehensive Starlink installation services that entails dish mounting, network cabling, and router configuration. Please note that troubleshooting the network speeds specific to your home or business will require chatting with a Starlink support team.

Configuration

The installation process typically takes approximately 4-6 hours, with the duration varying based on your specific home or office setup. After the installation is complete, it’s important to note that it may take up to a full 12 hours for the Starlink system to achieve optimal performance. During this time, the system undergoes several essential tasks, including downloading the latest drivers, scanning and mapping the satellites in proximity to the dish, and calculating the optimal positions for communication with the various satellites overhead. This waiting period ensures the best possible performance for your Starlink connection.

How can I extend my Starlink WIFI coverage?

When installed correctly, the Starlink router will provide WiFi to your house, usually with good results. With some large and multi-storey houses, there can be weak spots where the WiFi drops out. Our team will provide a number of solutions to guarantee excellent quality WiFi in all areas of your house.

• Your Starlink kit comes with a 15.2 metre cable so this dictates where the router can be located and subsequently the source of your WiFi signal. You can order extra cables from our website, though if necessary.
•  You may also need to buy the Starlink ‘Ethernet Adapter’ that can also be ordered from us. This allows you to ‘plug in’ a device to the system with a cable, such as a printer. If you require additional Ethernet ports to plug into, you can use any reliable switching device.
• There are some excellent products available to achieve long range of WIFI, even over long distances. There are outdoor WiFi Access Points along with Point to Point (PtP) and Point to Multiple Point (PtMP) systems available. Chat with our team about the best solution for your WiFi needs.
