What happens when Starlink goes down?

Complete internet connectivity loss

Total loss of connection with 'Searching' or 'No Signal' status, preventing all internet access via Starlink.

Intermittent disconnections

Frequent drops in connectivity, buffering during streaming, or connection instability lasting seconds to minutes.

Slow speeds or high latency

Degraded performance with unusually high ping times, reduced download/upload speeds, or network congestion indicators.

Obstructions or weather impacts

Service degradation from physical obstructions (trees, buildings) or weather events (heavy rain, snow, wind) affecting satellite visibility.

How do I troubleshoot Starlink issues?

  1. 1

    Check for obstructions in the app

    Open the Starlink app and review the obstruction view. Clear any new obstructions (trees, debris) blocking the dish's view.

  2. 2

    Restart the Starlink router

    Unplug the Starlink router for 20 seconds, then reconnect. This clears temporary connection issues and refreshes the network.

  3. 3

    Stow and unstow the dish

    Use the Starlink app to stow the dish, wait 1 minute, then unstow. This forces a full realignment and satellite reconnection.

  4. 4

    Check for weather interference

    Heavy rain, snow, or ice can degrade signal. Wait for weather to clear or manually remove snow/ice from the dish surface.

  5. 5

    Verify dish positioning and cable

    Ensure the dish has a clear view of the sky (no trees/buildings). Check that the cable is securely connected and undamaged.

What can I do during a Starlink outage?

Use mobile hotspot as backup

During Starlink outages, your smartphone's mobile hotspot can provide temporary internet for critical work or communication.

Set up a failover connection

Consider a dual-WAN router with cellular backup to automatically switch during Starlink outages if uptime is critical.

Check regional network status

Some outages are regional due to satellite coverage gaps or ground station issues. Check with nearby Starlink users for confirmation.
