1. Basic principles of installation location
Choose an open area with a clear view of the sky
The most important factor when installing a Starlink antenna is to choose an open location, not obstructed by trees, houses, utility poles, etc., to avoid connection interruptions.
Prioritize high locations
Experts recommend placing the satellite antenna in a high location such as a rooftop or pole to avoid obstructions. Placing the antenna nearly vertical helps optimize the connection.On the rooftop
The rooftop is an ideal location for the satellite antenna due to its wide view and few obstructions. It needs to be securely fixed to avoid being affected by strong winds.On a separate antenna pole
If not installed on the roof, you can erect an antenna pole in the yard for easy position adjustment and to ensure a good signal.On the high wall of the house
If you cannot install it on the roof or erect a separate pole, you can attach the antenna to a high wall, as long as there are no obstructions in front.3. Use the obstruction check tool
Services like Starlink have an "Obstruction Check" tool in the app. Use this feature before installation to choose the optimal antenna location.
4. Important notes when installing
Antenna orientation: Starlink automatically adjusts the direction, no manual intervention is needed. After powering on, the antenna will automatically find the satellite and tilt to the optimal angle.
Avoid electromagnetic interference: Install the antenna away from strong broadcasting devices such as transformers, high-voltage lines.
Weather resistance: Securely fix the antenna, ensure good drainage to avoid damage from rain and wind.
5. Optimize the WiFi Router
After installing the antenna, the WiFi router should be placed correctly to optimize the signal:
-
Place it in a central, high, and open location
-
Avoid placing near electronic devices such as microwaves, cordless phones
-
Adjust the router antenna (one horizontal, one vertical)
-
For multi-story houses, consider using a repeater to extend the WiFi signal.
