Key Benefits of the Wall Mount
- Enhanced Stability: The long design provides added support and stability, especially in windy conditions, reducing the risk of movement that could disrupt the satellite connection.
- Optimal Height: A longer mount allows the Starlink dish to be installed at a higher elevation, which can improve the line of sight to the satellites, leading to better signal quality and faster internet speeds.
- Flexible Positioning: The extended reach of the mount enables you to position the dish in a location that is less obstructed by trees, buildings, or other structures, which is crucial for maintaining a clear view of the sky.
- Improved Aesthetics: Longer mounts can provide a cleaner, more professional installation, allowing for better cable management and a more streamlined appearance on your exterior walls.
- Versatile Installation process: The design can accommodate various installation scenarios, making it easier to find a suitable location for the dish while adhering to safety and performance standards.
- Reduced Interference: By elevating the dish above potential obstructions, the long wall mount minimizes interference from nearby structures, enhancing the overall performance of the Starlink system.
Starlink Installation Process
Step 1: Locate a stud
If you are mounting to an exterior wall, and not the fascia board, you’ll need to locate a stud to secure the Long Wall Mount lag bolts into. Use a stud finder to locate a stud. Mark the location of the stud with your pencil.
Step 2: Mark a vertical line on the stud
Use your previous mark for the stud to align the level. Draw a vertical line in the area where you want to install the Starlink Long Wall Mount. Make the line about 6 inches or so.
Step 3: Use the template to drill pilot holes
Use the included mount template to drill both pilot holes with your drill and 5/23″ drill bit. Line the template up with the pencil line from the previous step. I found it easier to use the drill bit to mark both locations using the template, and then remove the template to drill both holes.
Step 4: Apply silicone sealant
Apply the included silicone sealant to both pilot holes. If you can’t get any sealant in the holes, you can apply a dap to the lag bolts before driving them in.
Step 5: Drive in the top lag bolt
Use the 1/2″ socket and socket wrench to drive in the top lag bolt. Leave about 1/2″ space so that the Long Wall Mount can be installed.
Step 6: Slide the Long Wall Mount over the top lag bolt
Slide the Long Wall Mount into place as shown above. The bottom hole should be aligned if you followed the template.
Step 7: Drive in the bottom lag bolt
With the mount in place, install and tighten the bottom lag bolt. Then tighten the top lag bolt the rest of the way.
Step 8: Install the dish and route the cable
If you are routing the cable through your home, start by routing the dish side connector through the exterior hole. Then route it up the exterior wall and through the mount. Plug in the Starlink dish and seat the dish mast into the Long Wall Mount.
Step 9: Install bottom plate
Install the bottom plate cover, guiding the Starlink cable through the slot. If desired, use the included cable clips to secure the cable to the exterior wall.
Step 10: Connect the cables and test your connection
The final step is to connect the Starlink cable to the router, power everything on, and check to be sure you can connect to the internet. It may take several minutes for the Starlink dish to boot up and find satellites.
Be sure to verify that the dish can freely stow and move when installed in the Long Wall Mount. If you get any error messages in the Starlink app, check to be sure the roof or wall is not getting in the way of the movement of the dish.
