Preparing for Your Starlink Installation
What to Expect on Installation Day
Every property is different, but our goal is always the same — deliver a professional Starlink installation that provides the best possible performance, reliability and Wi-Fi coverage. This guide explains what's included in a standard installation, how we choose mounting locations, router placement recommendations and important information to help your installation run smoothly.
1. Before Your Installation

Ensure roof and property access
Discuss any special requirements before arrival
