Check Starlink's official support
Starlink posts service updates and known issues through their support site and app notifications for regional outages.
starlink.com/supportLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread connectivity issues, service degradation, or regional satellite problems.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.
Starlink on API Status CheckCommon Starlink Issues During Outages
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.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Starlink Is Down
- 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
Restart the Starlink router
Unplug the Starlink router for 20 seconds, then reconnect. This clears temporary connection issues and refreshes the network.
- 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
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
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.

Alternative Solutions During Starlink Outages
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.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Starlink recovers from an outage so you can resume normal operations.
Get notified when Starlink is back up
No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
Starlink Status FAQ
Is Starlink down right now?
Check starlink.com/support, Downdetector, and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If multiple sources report issues in your region, Starlink is likely experiencing an outage.

How does weather affect Starlink?
Heavy rain, snow, or dense clouds can degrade signal quality. Starlink is designed to work in most weather, but extreme conditions may cause temporary slowdowns.
What does 'Searching' mean on Starlink?
Indicates the dish can't find satellites. Could be obstructions, dish misalignment, or a regional service outage. Check app for details.
Is Starlink reliable for work-from-home?
Starlink provides good reliability in most areas, but consider a cellular backup for critical work if you experience frequent weather-related interruptions.
