While activation can be done via the website, the Starlink app is highly recommended for setup, checking obstructions, monitoring speed, and troubleshooting.

3. Why is my Starlink not connecting to satellites?
This usually happens due to blocked sky view. Make sure your dish is placed in an open area with a clear view of the sky, free from trees, buildings, or power lines.
