If you’re experiencing issues with the Starlink Wi-Fi coverage around your place, a Starlink Mesh Node can fix your problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Starlink Mesh Node can help you extend the coverage of your Starlink Wi-Fi under certain conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you use a single router in a place with many rooms or floors, this mesh node will come in handy for you. You might struggle to get a strong signal across the board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may most likely only get a strong signal near the room where you have your Starlink router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fix this problem, you can place several Starlink mesh nodes at specific places around your place. This way, all the routers can connect wirelessly with your primary Starlink router and extend your internet access<\/a> coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n (A man carrying out an internet speed test)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starlink mesh nodes sell for $130 as accessories <\/a>at its official site. After buying as many as necessary, follow these quick steps to install the Starlink Mesh networking System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step to installing a Starlink mesh system is picking a good spot to place it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal place to install your mesh node is at a spot not too far away from the main router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is so that both routers can exchange signals fast and easily without dropping the signal strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you find a nice spot, plug your mesh node into an AC power source and follow these instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After successfully pairing the new mesh node with your Starlink router, you must wait until the connection is established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On average, it should take a few minutes to complete this connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the connection sets in, the mesh node will appear in your Starlink app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, the Network page of your Starlink app contains more details about the connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Going forward, you should be able to find the number of mesh nodes connected on the network page.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n ( A man installs a satellite dish)<\/p>\n\n\n\n While setting up your Starlink Mesh node to Starlink Wi-Fi connection, you may have certain connection issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, you may struggle to pair your new mesh node and successfully connect to the primary Starlink network<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you experience these issues, you’ll need to troubleshoot to try and fix the issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are the most effective troubleshooting steps to resolve issues with your Starlink mesh node setup.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n ( A Starlink dish is shown outdoors)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Performing a power cycle test is usually the fastest way to resolve Starlink mesh node issues. It can help you factory reset<\/a> your affected Starlink component to resolve any issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, disconnect the Mesh mode’s power cable from its power source. Next, wait at least 30 seconds before plugging it back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can now watch the node reboot and restart the pairing process. Look out for the status light indicator on the node to confirm that the node has successfully established a connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the power cycle test is effective, you should be able to resolve the connectivity problem or any glitch that causes it to malfunction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n ( A woman using her Laptop and smartphone to access the internet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the power cycle test fails to resolve the issues, you should check the network status on the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have wrongly connected to the Mesh node’s “STARLINK” network and not your Starlink router’s primary network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If this is the case with you, the solution is simple. You can remove the existing connection and re-establish a new one with the primary Starlink Wi-Fi network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, look for cues that show the correct target connection, including the network’s name. This is so that you don’t repeat the same mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, existing Network issues<\/a> may also cause your Mesh node to malfunction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n By checking the Network menu on the Starlink app, you can spot any current network issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find any from the Live Updates shown on the Network page, you may only be able to wait it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n (A Satellite dish shown mounted on a roof)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
