What Does the Starlink Kit Come With? How to Order the Starlink Kit <\/h2>\n\n\n
Once your Starlink kit arrives, you’ll find inside a Starlink dish, base (dish mount), WiFi router, 6-foot long power cable, and a second cable that’s 75 feet long. And these are all the items you need to connect to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how do you order the Starlink kit? Here’s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- First, visit the Starlink website<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then, enter your address in the box at the bottom to check for Starlink availability<\/a> in your area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If your location is within range, sign in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Next, if there’s a subscription slot available, Starlink directs you to where you will pay the full subscription fee ($599). But if there\u2019s no available slot, you\u2019re asked to pay a deposit of $99 and go on a waitlist. Then you have to wait until there’s a spot available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Starlink Accessories<\/h2>\n\n
1. Mounting Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n
As mentioned earlier, the kit has all the necessary equipment to connect to the internet, including a base or mount. But this base is for ground-level mounting. However, for a good Starlink connection, there needs to be a clear view of the sky, and it\u2019s often necessary to position the dish on high ground, like the roof, wall, or other angled surface. To do that, you need mounting accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Starlink makes mounts, which you can order from the Starlink shop, you must be a registered user for your order to go through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starlink official mounts include the Pivot mount, Long Wall mount, Short Wall mount, Flashing mount, and Grand Pole mount.<\/p>\n\n\n
2. Network Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n
Starlink network accessories include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n
Starlink Ethernet Adapter<\/h4>\n\n\n
Because the Starlink router has no ethernet port, you need a Starlink Ethernet adapter<\/a> if you want a hard-wired connection. Otherwise, without the adaptor, it can only support a wireless connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nImage of wired internet connection<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To set it up, plug it into the router. Then you’ll have a port to plug in your network accessories, such as a switch or access point.<\/p>\n\n\n
Starlink Mesh Nodes<\/h4>\n\n\n
It would help if you had mesh nodes to expand your WiFi signal to other areas of your house. That\u2019s because mesh nodes ensure good network coverage throughout the house. However, Starlink mesh nodes only work with the current rectangular Starlink dish. <\/p>\n\n\n
Replacement Cable<\/h4>\n\n\n
Available in 75 and 150-foot lengths, this cable connects the dish to the router. It has proprietary plugs (connectors) on both ends. Therefore, aftermarket cables cannot work.<\/p>\n\n\n
3. Starlink Pipe Adapter<\/h3>\n\n\n
With this accessory, you can easily attach the dish to a pole with a diameter of two inches max. Alternatively, you can attach it to a mount. It\u2019s no wonder the Starlink pipe adapter is very useful for DIY installations.<\/p>\n\n\n
4. Starlink RV Case<\/h3>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nImage of using the internet while traveling<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This accessory is also known as the Starlink travel case. Previously, Starlink RV subscribers could not use the dish while in motion. Doing so would have voided their contract. So, they had to bring it down, then set it up after reaching their destination or campsite. Therefore, they needed the Starlink RV Case to safely transport and store the dish. Today, subscribers can use Starlink RV while in motion<\/a>. Still, if they ever need to, they can travel with the dish safely inside a Starlink RV case. <\/p>\n\n\n
Where to Order Starlink Accessories: Official Vs. Aftermarket<\/h2>\n\n\n
Usually, users order Starlink accessories either officially or aftermarket. Now let’s take a look at the two methods.<\/p>\n\n\n
Official <\/h3>\n\n\n
To order from Starlink\u2019s official shop, visit Starlink\u2019s online store<\/a>. Note, though, that you must have an active Starlink subscription to access the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n
Aftermarket<\/h3>\n\n\n
If you’re open to buying outside the Starlink store, several retailers stock mounts and other accessories you\u2019ll likely need when installing or extending WiFi service in your home. However, we recommend sourcing from a reputable retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n
How to Order Officially Starlink Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n
As mentioned earlier, you must have an active account before ordering from the Starlink shop. Therefore, you can’t place an order if you\u2019re on the waitlist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, once a subscription slot becomes available, and your order status gets converted to a full order, you can place an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, if you succeeded in completing your order and paid the $599 for the Starlink kit, you can order accessories at the Starlink shop. You can do so when purchasing the kit or any time after the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n
How to Order a Starlink Ethernet Adapter <\/h2>\n\n\n
Here’s how to order from Starlink, assuming you already have an active account (it’s a requirement that your order is complete). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- First, go to the Starlink shop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Next, type in \u201cethernet adapter\u201d in the search box. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You’ll see different types of ethernet adapters. Please select one and add it to your shopping cart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If there’s nothing else you’re buying, check out the ethernet adapter and select your preferred payment method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Now your order is complete, and Starlink will soon deliver your ethernet adapter to you. <\/p>\n\n\n
FAQs<\/h2>\n\n
How long does it take to receive Starlink equipment?<\/h3>\n\n\n
Well, it depends. If you paid $99 and are on a waitlist, you have to wait until a subscription spot opens so your order is complete. But this can take months. Thankfully, it\u2019s possible to get Starlink faster<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, if you\u2019ve already paid the full amount, it takes three days before shipping. Then immediately after your equipment leaves the warehouse, you get notified via email. <\/p>\n\n\n
How much does a Starlink kit cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n
A Starlink kit costs $599 plus an additional $60 for handling fees. The good thing is this is a one-time payment.<\/p>\n\n\n
