It's April 2024. We are having exactly the same problem in rural Brazil. Our Starlink worked like a charm for 9 months, super reliable, through tropical storms, power outages, and lightning. One day with perfect blue skies, it dropped the connection to the satellite and it would not connect again for dear life. We tried every step you described. We opened a ticket the same way you did. 30 minutes later the antenna connected. The next day it dropped again. Went over all the reset stuff and nothing. I unplugged the router and let it cool down for a couple of hours. It connected after that. The support system seems to be working better now, they answered us within 6-8 hours. But I feel that Starlink is not as reliable as I first thought and I'm always on the edge that it will drop and be gone. I'm hoping the Chinese will come with their commercial satellite internet soon, and i will give it try.

Same exact problem here with Starlink RV. Worked great for the first month, then I started getting connection drops, which became more and more frequent until I ended up with the "Starling disconnected, your starlink appears to be unplugged or rebooting" message. I've tried all the same steps as you, with no changes. Submitted a ticket to Starlink 7 days ago and no reply. From what I'm seeing on Reddit, there are people who have had this problem stretched out for months (4+). Very disappointing. If their first solution doesn't do the trick, that's the end of Starlink for me; I'm not dishing out my hard earned money to a company that conducts itself like this.

Hi, I experienced a very similar problem. In April 2023 my service went out. It had been glitchy for a few weeks before it totally went out. I messaged a trouble call to StarLink and it took them over a week to respond. Once they did respond, their solution was to send me out a new router and cable. This whole process took a couple of weeks. This actually worked for a few months until mid July 2023. I shot out another trouble call and to my surprise they responded in less than 6 hours. The solution this time was to send me another dish, along with a router and cable. this package arrived 3 days later (very fast this time). I am back up and running as of a couple of days ago. Hopefully this will last. Also Starlink did credit me for $120, twice, for both interruptions, and no charge for any replaced equipment. And I have had to install this 3 times now, with only the POE (ethernet) cord being big pain to remove/replace. I totally understand the frustration. I also work over the internet tutoring math. I was wise enough to have kept my old DSL service as a back-up. So even though it is very slow (1.5 Mbs), I was still able to handle things at a minimum. Two things that help my thought process, we live in remote areas and StarLink has given us what we wouldn't have otherwise, and, StarLink is relatively new and we will be the guinea pigs until the bugs are worked out. So for all my frustration, I am still thankful for StarLink.

My first Starlink was DOA. It powered on very briefly, though the dish never moved. I created a ticket, and returned the faulty dish to Starlink. I got a new one promptly, and reinstalled it. It worked well initially, but speeds have been gradually declining, I believe this may be a congestion issue. It’s possible the Dish or it’s components can have a problem with high temperatures. I heard that the limit is 122 degrees F. I live in SoCal, and roofing and metal surfaces definitely can get that hot at times. Electronics can be sensitive to heat. Another concern would be lightning or static discharges, which can also fry electronics.

Very happy so far. Is it perfect, not yet. Is it the fastest, not yet. Is it reliable, I think so. My first system received, the rectangular dish would not move, I reached out to Starlink tech support via the app, and they responded in less than 24hrs to have me do some troubleshooting. That didn’t work out, so they sent me a new system in a reasonable amount of time. So far. So good.

That really sounds like your dish at this point. The modem is within the dish, not within the router. Up to you, but when you get the new kit, you could attempt to ONLY replace the dish. Since the original router and cable have been eliminated as possible failure points, that really only leaves the dish, or service to the satellite. Of course, if you just are mentally done and just need the service working, replacing everything is likely the fastest path to restoration of service. Random note - you're not near a radio silent zone by chance? For example, I own property in VA that is near the Green Bank radio silent zone. When I had Hughesnet my service there was always week and unreliable. (Haven't been able to test my Starlink there yet). I've also talked with colleagues who are in neighborhoods where they've had neighbors even create "jamming zones" - I doubt that is what you're dealing with, but there could be interference within the band that Starlink is using - which doesn't necessarily even have to be within your line of site - as its possible to jam over the horizon. But all that is VERY unlikely. If you get the same issue after replacing everything, then I would start to expect you have interference and you need to start tracking the time of day when service is interrupted - and then cross that against tracking the satellite orbits at that time. There are a couple of sites out there for this. However, honestly I suspect that the modem within the dish is your problem.

I just came from a similar issue except mine didn’t even recognized the dish anymore, I think it was defective from the start back when I bout it a year ago because the first time I couldn’t get it to work for hours. But it has been working for over a year until now. I can’t be happier with their support. Using a chat instead waiting on the phone works for me better. They read my problem and send me a solution almost instantly. Whether a replacement cable the first time which didn’t resolve anything, or a full set kit (with a month of refund) with no additional questions asked. If I compare this to the other fiber or aux cable internet services near my area, I would have spent hours on the phone, ridiculous identity validation multiple times on the phone and probably two weeks for them to physically resolve the issues near my house.

I’ve tried every method like you to try to fix this issue but not one of them worked. A buddy of mine who lives 10 minutes away from me also has starlink, but he’s never had a single issue with his.

We haven’t had any major issues but $135 a month isn’t cheap plus having our current provider.

I uninstalled the system on my cell phone and reinstalled using the new router number and that fixed it. The technology is new and gliches are appearing that tech support is not able to troubleshoot right away. Just because you have a clear view of the sky doesn't mean the dish can see the satellite if the motor is off kilter. It's not fool-proof. Things happen.

There is an issue (discussion on a forum) where the snow melt feature is causing problems with the cable. Essentially, the wire gauge is too small to carry the amperage and heats up the connection. Eventually the cable goes bad. So when I discovered this, I turned snow melt off (by default it is set to automatic). I have not had a problem since changing this.

Hi Steve, I was wondering how’s it going with Starlink? Did you get your problem resolved? Knowing what you know, would you buy it again? Thanks! Janice

I have no alternative except poor phone service. Paid over $1000 now because of initial $ plus install because I'm disabled, so no, spent SS $ and have no internet

I saw your earlier Starlink installation and I had decided to go ahead purchase and subscribe, now I see this video and I called it off. Guess I will wait another year to see if they get the bugs out. Thank you for the update.

This sounds like a horrible turn of events, i have been using Starlink since late last year when it became available in Australia and its been the best internet i have had access too living in Rural Australia, I have only had a few issues with connectivity, it has mostly been due to either really bad weather (thunder and lightning) or the satellites that orbit over have had issues with either Firmware or the actual orbital Satellite has had hardware issues

Hope this helps someone. I just got the Starlink package today. I had an issue I thought I should relate. I am in the northern hemisphere so expected a northern view which I had. I mounted the base first. I didn't notice until it was screwed down that there was a keyway. The keyway was to the south. I hooked everthing up and waited for it to hook up and I waited and I waited. I started to think "is that keyway important?" Maybe the head doesn't rotate 360 degrees? It is possible. So I went back up the ladder and removed the head and turned the base 180 degrees. Turn the power back on and it hooked up in seconds. Long story short the keyway is important apparently and it doesn't say that anywhere that I saw. If you are in the northern hemisphere put the key on the north end and on the south end if in the southern hemisphere. Maybe I am wrong about something but that is my experince first day. It now works and it is fast and that is all I care.

What's a keyway? searching for the term, but not sure what you mean.

Hello, in your installation method, i saw that you hold the antenna cable to the roof and some with some kind of cable holder (tie down). Can you please try to install with the cable directly hanging around first to try if it works well. Because maybe your cable holding method is damaging the cable in the inside because extreme pinch or pressure of something like that. Hope it helps. Regards!

I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PHONE NUMBER FOR TECH SUPPORT. I WAS GOING TO BUY 3 STARLINK SYSTEMS BUT I HAD A QUESTION TO ASK ABOUT THE FULL LENGTH OF MAX CABLE I CAN USE AND COULD NOT ASK THE QUESTION OR GET IN TOUCH WITH STARLINK. THAT SETTLED THAT I DONT NEED MORE HEADACHES WITH ANOTHER TECH COMPANY THAT WONT ANSWER THE PHONE OR HAS NO SUPPORT

My problem is similar to yours but only worse, i am on my 4th system in two years and it has now failed in the same manner as you've described and to add insult to injury Starlink has refused to send me a new system stating that it was my mounting system that caused the problem, so frustrating.

Got the same problem after a week of use of Starlink, had to do factory reset and set up a new Wifi network, so far so good. Looks like this helped. Also if you have your Starlink app on the phone or tablet remove all VPN software form this device, as this does not work well with Starlink. You can still have VPN on PC or laptop (connected to your wifi network), just the device for setting up starlink and checking the network status with the app, has to be clear from VPN software, this help me, hope this will help you. Thank you, for this video you have posted.

If the new Starlink arrives and gets installed but does not perform as expected, I suggest installing it in the same vicinity as your neighbor. Why? Because Starlink internet satellites are in a geosynchronous orbit with the earth. Likely, you will get a better signal, just like your neighbor. Crazy as it may sound, you can prove to Starlink that their product does not cover the signal in your area. Also, please remember or make a note of what time of the day it works and when it fails.

Starlink satellites are not geosynchronous. If they were they would always be in the same place in the sky.

My starlink was shipped to wrong address. This is when it was discovered starlink has no phone numbers or email to address issues with. I spent half a day running down the package. Finally got possession and tried to setup my unit. Unit will not send power to dish. Dish will not aim. 29 hours ago I opened a support ticket and nothing provided as of now. Just request a RMA and label. I am not quite at the point in my life I send someone $701.99 and they refuse to provide any help within a reasonable time-frame

I’m having the same issue right now. Got Starlink only 4 days ago and it was working great until last night it disconnected. I unplugged and plugged it back in and it came on then 5 minutes later it went out and hasn’t come back on. Just says offline. I send a ticket to support and haven’t heard anything back, it’s been 24 hours.

@A Dreamin' Life I have found a video that your problem is the connection of the cable to the dish. I have the Gen 1 dish and my cable to the dish is hardwired. My led light on the router is on the front of the modem instead of yours being on the bottom. Hopefully 9 months later, your internet price went down like mine did at $90/month. Mine does have the disconnected issue. It isn't as frequent as you. It usually fixes its self after a few minutes, but is still frustrating. I haven't done a factory reset of my router. I have a reset button that I hold. No need to power cycle to do a factory reset for me. I live in a very small town in Maine and when we have heavy snow, the melting feature of the dish cannot keep up with the snow. I was able to get Spectrum at my home and awaiting the installation. After that gets set up, I'll be stowing my dish indefinitely.

In under 1 year I have had to replace the dishy and router and this unit is now dead and I am unable to connect. I had to wait 5 business days on the first service request and over 5 days (still waiting) on my 2nd support ticket. I am also unable to find a way to post a review for Starlink which is also maddening. I believe for $135 dollars a month I should have functioning Internet 365 days a year. When you depend on a provider to do your job you quickly become frustrated with exceedingly slow support. I understand that times are tough but not supporting your customers is just wrong. I will say that when it does work it works really well...Thanks for reading my rant!
