Starlink Router Not Showing a Wi-Fi Network: What to Do
Troubleshooting & Fixes
When a Starlink Wi-Fi network disappears, begin with the router and nearby devices before assuming the dish has failed.
Check for router power and lights
Confirm the power connection is secure and that the router is not overheated or hidden in a cramped, unventilated space. Check whether the network appears from a phone standing close by.
Rule out one-device problems
Try another phone or laptop. If only one device cannot see the network, restart that device and review its Wi-Fi settings before changing the Starlink equipment.
Restart once and give it time
Use the Starlink app if you can. A single measured restart is better than several quick power cycles. Wait for the network to return fully before changing names, passwords or factory settings.
Reset only as a last resort
A factory reset can mean reconnecting every device. Check current official support steps and record your existing network information before using one.
