Answer
How can I stop event guests using all my Starlink capacity?
Define which tasks take priority before offering public Wi-Fi. Payment, check-in and staff communications should not compete without a plan against unrestricted guest downloads.
Use networking equipment that supports the controls you actually need, such as a separate guest network and suitable per-user or total guest limits. Check which features are available on your router; do not assume the Starlink app provides every traffic-management option.
Test the essential tasks while several guest devices are active. Set expectations clearly and avoid advertising guaranteed speeds that the shared connection cannot promise. A login page alone does not reserve bandwidth or isolate devices.
Keep a separate fallback for essential transactions. Check that the service plan permits the intended event use and location. Monitor conditions during the event and adjust guest access if necessary, with one named person responsible for changes rather than several volunteers altering settings independently.
