This page covers the rectangular motorized dish with the original Gen 2 router. Its mast moves automatically; do not force the dish angle by hand.
How it connects
- Actuated dish Kit cable
- Gen 2 router + power Wi-Fi
- Phone / computer
The original router contains the power supply. A Router 3 upgrade follows a separate adapter guide; this diagram does not cover that upgrade.
Lights and messages
- Bottom light on: router has power. It does not certify an internet connection.
- Bottom light off: check the outlet and supplied power connection. Use the app for outage and obstruction status.
A light is one clue, not a complete diagnosis. Match the indicator’s label and the on-screen message.
Before buying parts
- A wired LAN connection on the original Gen 2 router needs the matching Starlink Ethernet Adapter. Gen 3 and Mini cabling are different.
