1. Starlink Installation Assessment and Planning
To assess the feasibility of the Starlink installation, our team conducted an initial offsite assessment using satellite imagery and client-provided onsite photos. This allowed us to identify potential mounting locations, cable path, detect any obstructions and mouting options. This crucial step also helped determine the necessary materials, equipment, tools and manpower required for the onsite installation. Below are the key findings from the offsite assessment.
- 🔹Property Type: Residential home office one-story single home
- 🔹Property Size: 1,500 sqft

The proposal was submitted for review and approval of the customer. Once approved and the materials and equipments were ready, we then scheduled the installation with our local expert Starlink installers in Battle Ground, WA.
2. Onsite Starlink Installation
To kick-off the Starlink installation process, the Starlink installers performed Starlink obstructions test in the preferred installation point. The Starlink dish was securely installed using a long, heavy-duty wall mount bracket that extends outward from the side of the house. The extended arm is reinforced with diagonal support and anchored firmly into the wall structure, ensuring durability and resistance against strong winds and weather elements. The cabling is neatly routed alongside the siding for a clean, professional finish.
The Starlink cable was routed to the home through a wall penetration sealed with weather-proof sealant for ingress protection. Cable was fastened with clips at key points to prevent sagging or movement.
The Starlink cable was then connected to the indoor location of the Gen3 WiFi mesh router, powered up, activated and then configured the with the customer's preferred SSID and password using Starlink app. Guide the customer on how to:
- 🔹Access their SSID (wireless network name)
- 🔹Input and Reset password
- 🔹Run speed test
- 🔹Reset/refresh Starlink network connection (handshake)
- 🔹Access Settings, where you can find Snow Melt feature, etc.
- 🔹Answer customer questions that come up.
3. Starlink Optimization and Testing
After Starlink equipment setup, the Stalink alignment test was performed to ensure that Starlink dish is properly positioned or aligned to achieve optimal connectivity with Starlink satellite constellation.
Then, the Starlink speed test was performed to determine if your connection is functioning at optimal levels and is crucial for troubleshooting or verifying quality during and after installation. It measures the download speed, upload speed, latency (ping).
This test demonstrates Starlink performing at its optimal capacity, likely during off-peak hours with ideal satellite positioning and minimal network congestion. These speeds would satisfy even the most demanding residential internet users.
- 🔹Download Speeds: 176 - 226 Mbps - good for supporting HD streaming, video conferencing, and large file downloads with ease.
- 🔹Upload Speed: 31-33 Mbps - more than sufficient for tasks like Zoom calls, cloud backups, and sending large files.
- 🔹Latency: 26-21ms - is a strong indicator of responsive internet, ideal for gaming, real-time communication, and interactive applications.
While Starlink establishes basic internet connectivity within 5-30 minutes, achieving optimal internet speed is a much longer process that can extend 12-24 hours after installation.
