This article unveils the straightforward process of using a starlink to fast-track your internet in remote areas. Join us on this digital journey, where we break down each step to ensure you’re never disconnected again.
Step 1: Procuring the Starlink Kit
Leap IT began by purchasing the Starlink Kit from the official Starlink website. The kit includes a Starlink dish, a mounting tripod, and a router – all essential components for setting up the internet connection. The starlink satellite is around the same size as a sky satellite.
Step 2: Site Survey and Installation Location Selection
The Leap IT team then visited the customer’s home to conduct a site survey. The goal was to choose an installation location with a clear view of the sky, as the Starlink dish needs this to connect to the satellites. They ensured there were no obstructions such as trees or buildings that could interfere with the signal. Cabling was hidden best we can.
Step 3: Setting Up the Starlink Dish
Once the ideal location was chosen, the team set up the Starlink dish using the mounting tripod included in the kit. They made sure it was stable and secure to withstand various weather conditions that the UK throw at us.
Step 4: Connecting the Cables
The next step involved connecting all necessary cables, the photo shows the mess before we started. One cable connects the dish to the power supply, while another connects the power supply to the router making it very clean looking on the external wall.
Step 5: Powering On and Connecting
After all cables were connected, they powered on the system. The dish automatically aligned itself to connect to the satellites. Once connected, they set up the Wi-Fi network on the Starlink router and connected all necessary devices. Due to the shape of the house we installed an additional 4 access points to give fast internet around the home.
Step 6: Installing and Demonstrating the Starlink App
Finally, Leap IT installed the Starlink app on the customer’s smartphone. This app allows users to manage their connection, check internet speed, and access customer support and troubleshooting tips. They demonstrated how to use this app effectively.
