Installation Process
Darran, a professional from Lakeland Aerials, offers expert installation services for Starlink in the region. The process typically involves:
01 Site Assessment
Location Analysis
Signal Strength
Obstruction Check
Before installing a satellite system, a thorough site assessment is essential to ensure optimal connectivity. This process involves analyzing the location to determine the best placement for the dish, considering elevation, open sky visibility, and accessibility. Technicians use specialized tools to measure signal strength and identify the ideal mounting position that minimizes interference.
Obstructions such as trees, buildings, or other structures can weaken the satellite signal, leading to performance issues. To mitigate this, the installation team conducts a detailed obstruction check and recommends adjustments if necessary. A proper site assessment lays the foundation for a stable and high-speed satellite internet connection.
02 Mounting the Dish
Site Selection
Mounting Brackets
Dish Alignment
This step in satellite dish installation involves selecting an appropriate mounting location. Find a spot with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, ensuring it faces the satellite’s direction for optimal signal reception. The chosen location should be stable and secure, such as a wall, roof, or pole. Mark the areas where the mounting brackets will be positioned, keeping in mind the necessary tilt and alignment for best performance.
Once the location is prepared, securely mount the dish by attaching the brackets to the surface. Ensure they are level and tightly fixed. Then, attach the dish to the brackets, adjusting it for the proper angle and alignment. Confirm that the dish is firmly in place to prevent any movement from external factors like wind or weather. Once mounted, the dish is ready for further setup, including cable connections and signal adjustment.

03 Connection Setup
Cable Connection
Receiver
Signal Configuration
The third step in the satellite installation process involves cable connection between the Starlink dish and the Router. After mounting the dish, run the supplied cable from the dish to the router inside the home. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the dish and the router, avoiding any loose connections that could result in signal loss. It's important to check that the cable is not pinched or sharply bent, which can affect signal strength.
Once the cable connection is in place, proceed to signal configuration. Power on the router and follow the alignment tool instructions in the Starlink App to complete the setup process. Once the signal is confirmed a speed test can be performed to check connectivity.
04 Testing and Optimization
Signal Test
Adjustment
Optimization
The fourth step in Starlink installation is signal testing. Once the dish is properly connected and aligned, it’s essential to test the internet speed. This involves using the Starlink App's built in speed test or Advanced Speed Test, the you can simply go 'Online' and stream away!!
What our clients say
“When we bought our holiday cottage in Patterdale BT cut off the broadband, despite the previous owner and us requesting they didn't. As we faced the prospect of compensating our guests Darran rode to the rescue. He explained the potential of Starlink, took delivery of the hardware on our behalf and then installed it expertly in the short turnaround between guests. He kept us informed throughout and was a delight to deal with. When businesses operate like this you can only wish them success.”
