Starlink

Thanks Folks good info!

I have a home Starlink (not best effort). For an extra $20 a month, i enabled portability on it. I've taken it on a few camping trips, where it worked fine (other than power limitation issues).

I can’t factory reset my mesh unit. I messed up and renamed it, thinking I was on my main unit. Now I can’t access or reset it. The old unplug and plug 6 times doesn’t work. Other places said 3 times, still don’t work. Didn’t work on main router either, but factory reset in the app fixed that one.
This all started with my weather station not updating, so I tried to re attach it to the router. I think a router update by Starlink is messing it up.
Right now just weather station and mesh not working. Think I might try bypass the Starlink router function, I hate that Starlink gives you no control.

There seem to be at least one, and perhaps more than one, recent problematic updates, rolled out this month. (e.g. cc18f87c-1d30-4acc-8ba6-5e53bc8b903d.uterm.release, and perhaps a router update.)

After a year of great service, we are now experiencing long pauses (interrupting video calls), severe degradation of the bandwidth, and mysterious 0.1-2s outages blamed on a variety of causes (e.g. obstructions, "no signal received", satellite to ground losses, etc.)

Support rolled us over to a different version, but the behavior has not returned to stability.

I would reach out to Starlink on the inability to reset your mesh router.

All the best,

Peter

I thought I was on a Starlink forum last night, was describing my problem, someone was answering, then I got a pay screen, pay us money to continue. I immediately left.

This morning the 6 unplug/ plug reset it. It didn’t show up to add to the network for awhile, but when I got home bingo, as soon as I logged into my Starlink app it asked to join the network. I guess it just needed time to sync up after I finally got it reset.

Anyways my system is back to where I started, except my weather station still won’t attach to it.

I am hoping we get good up time when we do get our kit.

We are only about 2 miles from a Starlink ground station. Have heard that is a Good thing for overall reliability but maybe that is just a rumor?

Overall Starlink has been best ISP I’ve had, just don’t know why reset worked today but didn’t last night.

FWIW: a generic piece of WiFi advice; have you tried separating your 2.4&5GHz WiFi networks? Some slower (older/less sophisticated) devices need 2.4GHz, and some routers try to move them to 5GHz. By having a separate 2.4GHz network, the devices can just stay there.

All the best,

Peter

I thought I was having some mesh router issues. The real issue was a slow reset. NExt day boom - everything's fine

Yep, have done that. The weather station needs 2.4. You also have to turn off mesh to add it. It’s been on the network before and suddenly stopped working. The guidance is reboot router, didn’t work, next try reattach to network. Something has changed.
