How to install Starlink

How to install Starlink yourself: what's in the box, choosing a spot with a clear view of the sky, mounting, and setup tips for Spanish homes.

Starlink is designed for self-installation. Most people set it up themselves in an afternoon using the Starlink app.

Find the best spot

Open the Starlink app's obstruction checker and walk around your property to find the clearest view of the sky.

Mount the antenna

Use the included mount or an optional accessory to position the antenna with a clear, unobstructed view.

Route the cable

Run the cable from the antenna to the router, keeping it weather-tight and protected.

Connect & power up

Plug the cable into the router, connect the power supply, and let the antenna align itself.

Set up Wi-Fi

Follow the app to name your network, set a password and update firmware.

Check obstructions

The app shows any obstructions detected — adjust the position if needed.

Tips for Spanish homes

Thick stone walls can limit Wi-Fi reach — plan router placement or add mesh nodes. Flat roofs make mounting straightforward, while rural fincas often need a taller pole mount to clear trees. Coastal properties should weather-protect connectors against salt air.
