Find the network name labeled “Starlink.”

Connect to it and set a new Wi-Fi name and password if prompted.
Step 5: Visit Starlink.com/activate
Open your web browser and go to Starlink.com/activate.

Log in with your Starlink account, or create one if you don’t have it yet.
-
Follow the instructions to link your device and confirm your service plan.
