You can run a speed test with the Starlink app. By default, speed tests in the app measure the speed between your router and the internet. This is great for evaluating how your service is performing, and how much bandwidth is available to all the devices on your network. This won't take your current device's WiFi connection quality into account.

Results may vary between tests as network demand changes and different satellites become available.

Higher speeds mean less buffering and faster file downloads.	Higher speeds mean faster video uploads, and file transfers to the internet.	Lower numbers mean less lag in games and video calls.

​

Run a speed test:

1. Open the Starlink app
2. Tap Speed Test
3. Tap Start

​

Advanced speed test options:

• Device → Internet: Measures end-to-end speeds from your device to the internet. This test includes your WiFi connection quality, similar to other speed test providers.

• Device → Router: Measures the connection quality between your device and your Starlink router. If this result is lower than your default router speed test, your WiFi may be the bottleneck.
