How does the Starlink Mini Kit work?

The Starlink Mini Kit connects to SpaceX’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using a phased array antenna (dish). The dish automatically orients itself towards the optimal satellite, while the Wi-Fi router distributes the internet signal to your devices.

What speeds can I expect with the Starlink Mini Kit?

• Download speeds: 25–150 Mbps (depending on location and network congestion).

• Upload speeds: 5–20 Mbps.

• Latency: 20–60 ms, which is suitable for streaming, gaming, and video calls.

Can I use the Starlink Mini Kit with multiple devices?

Yes, the Starlink Mini Kit supports up to 64 connected devices simultaneously. It’s perfect for small homes, apartments, or offices with multiple users.

How far will the Wi-Fi signal reach?

The Starlink Mini Kit’s router provides coverage up to 100 m² (1,100 ft²), which should be sufficient for small to medium-sized homes and offices. If you need extended coverage, you can add mesh nodes to expand the network.

Is the Starlink Mini Kit weather-resistant?

Yes, the Starlink Mini Dish is rated IP65, meaning it’s dust- and water-resistant. It can also handle various weather conditions and operates in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). The dish is capable of melting snow at a rate of 30 mm/hour.
