By now, you\u2019re probably thinking about how to reset Starlink. And that\u2019s understandable! After all, it comes in handy whenever something goes awry with the connection or the whole thing just doesn\u2019t work anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now you won\u2019t need to worry! That\u2019s because this article will help you reset Starlink so you can use it again. Let\u2019s buckle up and get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons You Should Do A Reset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resetting the router is a great idea if your Starlink internet slows down or has other problems like disconnecting randomly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 That\u2019s because doing this will set it back to its default state. And resets are recommended after you move into a new building or give the hardware away to another person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, resetting will wipe out all the saved data, like the WiFi name\/password and connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Of course, there\u2019s no set rule on when to reset, so you can do it any time you\u2019d like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resetting The Router<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Example<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Example of a router.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can reset the Starlink router using the short steps below. These will typically involve power cycling<\/a> the device and connecting to the WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It\u2019s pretty straightforward and doesn\u2019t take much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen One (Circular) Router<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Gen One Starlink dish\/router<\/a> is very easy to reset. So, turn your router upside down. From here, you\u2019ll see a small reset button on the bottom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a pencil, paperclip, or pen to press down on it, and resetting should take a few minutes. After starting up, connect the router to your Starlink Wifi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do that by launching the app and selecting \u2018Settings.\u2019 Then, choose the \u2018STINKY\u2019 or \u2018STARLINK\u2019 network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a \u2018ROUTER NOT CONFIGURED\u2019 message will pop up on the app screen. Tap on it to set up your new WiFi name and password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen Two (Rectangular\/Dishy) Router<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Starlink<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Starlink Dishy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Gen Two router reset is different because it lacks a reset button on the other router. Despite that, you won\u2019t have difficulty working on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You only need to disconnect the router cable from the wall socket. Wait five seconds before plugging it back in, and keep doing this step five times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that\u2019s dealt with, connect the cord to the socket. You should then wait two to three minutes for the router to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you connect with Starlink WiFi before making a new WiFi name\/password in the app.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mesh Node<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s a Starlink mesh <\/a>node in your place, you can reset it. To do this, connect and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket six times \u2014 called power cycling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restarting should take seconds to complete, so stick around for a bit. Afterward, ensure you link to the Starlink <\/a>WiFi and launch the Starlink app.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019ll take one or two minutes to ask if you want to pair the mesh node with the network<\/a>. When it does, just push the \u2018PAIR\u2019 button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Another one to two minutes should pass before the node finally connects to your network. Did you know you can verify if the mesh mode is connected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0It\u2019s easy \u2014 open the App\u2019s \u2018Network\u2019 tab, and it will list your node.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Can Also Reboot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Starlink<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Starlink satellite dish.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebooting the router by disconnecting the cord or using the app can help resolve any internet-related issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This section covers restarting the satellite dish<\/a> and router. Let\u2019s take a look at what you can do to get things rolling again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disconnect\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A router with the cord.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s another thing you can try \u2014 unplugging\/plugging in the router cord. But make sure two to four minutes have passed before connecting it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be aware the Starlink dish<\/a> may self-align so its antenna points toward the nearest satellite in the sky.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a normal process while attempting to reestablish a connection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, disconnecting the 50-foot dish cable will reboot everything. If you choose this route, you\u2019ll need to remember the cable may not plug back in right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either that or it could become loose over time. Thus, it\u2019s better to unplug the router instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use The App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the Starlink app makes rebooting very easy. Open it up and tap the \u2018Settings\u2019 option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, go to the \u2018REBOOT ROUTER\u2019 section and drag the slider as instructed on the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you\u2019ll need to wait a bit for the router to restart. When that finishes, head to the \u2018Settings\u2019 menu and select your home network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can restart the dish antenna using the same steps. Except you\u2019ll need to select the \u2018STARLINK\u2019 tab on the \u2018Settings\u2019 page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, drag the \u2018REBOOT STARLINK\u2019 slider to the right. Restarting your Starlink dish antenna will take sixty seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After fifteen minutes, you should have a steady network and can finally use the internet again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything should run more smoothly after you reset Starlink. And if you run into similar problems in the future, you\u2019ll know what to do next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure you follow all the steps to a tee \u2014 otherwise, it may not get fixed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
