Get Ready for Starlink
After you place your order, the Starlink team will prepare your Starlink for shipment. Get ready for delivery and plan your setup by following these steps.
Create Your Account
Once you sign into your account on the Starlink App or on your Account Home, you can:
- Find your order’s shipment status and tracking number under "Your Orders" in the app or on your account page
- Manage contact, billing, and shipping details
- View your service locations and manage your subscriptions (e.g. add portability, pause, buy another Starlink, transfer service, or cancel)
Get the App
Download the Starlink app to prepare your setup location and manage your account. With the app, you will also be able customize WiFi settings, check the health of your connection, get Support, and more.
Find a Location
From the app, use the “Check for Obstructions” tool to find the best spot to set up your Starlink. Your Starlink needs a clear view of the sky so it can continuously stay connected with satellites as they move overhead. Avoid setting up next to buildings or under trees. Learn more in the obstructions section.
Explore the Shop
Your Starlink Kit comes with a base designed for quick ground setup. You may find that you require a mount to avoid obstructions and to permanently secure your Starlink.
This is also a good time to consider cable lengths required, routing your cable inside, and where you may want to place your router. To connect to third part devices, you'll need the ethernet adapter.
For current customers, mounts and cable accessories are available for purchase on the Starlink Shop. To preview mounts, see our Accessories Guide.
