If you encounter any issues during the setup or use of your router, you can factory reset it.
Starlink App (recommended):
- Connect to your Starlink WiFi network and open the Starlink App.
- Tap Settings > Router > Factory Reset.
- Drag the slider to factory reset your Starlink router.
Notes:
- If the Starlink router is not associated to your account or connected to the internet, the manual factory reset instructions will appear.
- Factory reset using the Starlink App is not available if your router is in bypass mode.
- A WiFi network name is also called a SSID. A Wifi password can be referred to as a network security key, WPA key or WPA/SPA2 passphrase.
- Default WiFi network name appears as 'STARLINK' in device WiFi settings.
- Creating a WiFi name and password is optional, however we recommend securing your WiFi network. Your Starlink WiFi network is not password protected until you set the password.
