Next, it looks like the only way that you can add your own network in is to replace the Starlink Wifi router with your own connection to your network. It tells this to the mobile application and the Starlink application then communicates directly with the Starlink receiver on a special IP address.īut if you have a VPN o your phone, it is going to route what looks like Internet traffic (it does not have a local IP address) out into the global internet, but the IP address you have is behind a firewall (for obvious reasons) in the Starlink infrastructure. So I’m guessing that the way that Starlink works is that the local network DHCP is provided by the WiFi router and then it knows the IP address on the WAN side of the Starlink receiver. And the statistics page suddenly shows up!.So I just disabled my NordVPN and suddenly I could see the connection page.If you have a VPN running by default on your phone (which everyone really should for privacy reasons) this means that you won’t see the Starlink connection, only the Wifi router.But strangely, I actually data traffic flowing over connection even though the application said there was sįinally, finally, I saw the VPN slide by and had a hunch:.Going to the help is no help at all and there are so few Starlink users, Google isn’t much help.

But it did say, the Wifi Router firmware is out of date, you need to wait up to 2 hours for the software to download and then you should check again. That is pretty confusing for a novice user. There is the settings pane and it shows that Wifi router with reboot and reset options and then greyed buttons for Starlink connection itself. 
So I did this a zillion times and it never worked. When I first tried to logon, the opening Network connection dialog said, cannot connect to Starlink, and it says you need to reboot the Wifi Router and try again. Note that this is really designed for a single WiFi access point which is theirs and you can’t connect the WiFi router to your existing network. Now you will have a connection to their router. Don’t forget this as if you do, you will need a paper clip to reset the Wifi Router (my bad!). 
When you do, you will be asked to create an SSID and a password. When you start the mobile application up, it says look for the “Starlink-#” open WiFi connection and connect to it.They include Ikea-like instructions and then you are supposed to load up the Starlink mobile application.This disappears into a magic box that has 120V AC power and then an Ethernet port that connects to their Wifi Router.

The various piece parts are pretty easy to figure out, there is the dish, a long Ethernet cable (which is hard wired to the dish itself, so I guess I would worry a little bit about how to replace it). The thing comes in a big box and Dishy McFlatface clicks into a stand. So first though I would try it here locally (even though we are not signed up for this region. Took a while to get out to the installation site. So, we signed up in February and in May, go the fancy gizmo. And no more dependence on cable operators!. The cost is $500 for the receiver and then $99 per month. I presume this is because the denser an area the less capacity. But it says that Seattle starts late this year but not really work until late, late next year. Right now, for rural areas it’s pretty easy It then estimates when you can get it. To get it, you got to throw in your address and pay the $99 deposit. Well, we are about halfway through getting Dishy McFlatface to work and here are some notes.
