SolutionsWhere are you installing?
Starlink is the same dish everywhere, but the install is not: a house, a camper, a rural plot and a job site each need a different answer. Start with your scenario and get the mounting, the power note and the guides that go with it.
Home installation
A permanent install on a house — roof or wall, sealed once, left alone for years.
- Roof mount for the highest, shortest cable run
- Wall bracket when the roof must stay sealed
- Router placement inside the house
RV & camper
The dish travels with you. Nothing permanent, nothing left behind at the pitch.
- Freestanding tripod, up in minutes
- No drilling, no roof penetration
- Power and cable decisions for a vehicle
Rural & off-grid
Long distances, no neighbours, power you have to make yourself.
- Pole or mast to clear the tree line
- Sizing power for a dish that never sleeps
- Mounts that survive real wind
Business & sites
Job sites, yards, workshops and temporary offices that need a link that works now.
- Fast deploy, no waiting on a fitter
- Movable when the site moves
- One repeatable setup for many locations
Why the scenario comes first
Almost every bad Starlink install is a mount bought for the wrong scenario. The roof kit is excellent on a house you own and a liability on a rental; the tripod is the obvious answer on a campsite and the wrong one when the site is permanent and exposed to wind. None of the products are bad — the mismatch is.
So the useful question is not "which mount is best" but "which mount is best here". That is what these four pages are: the same four mounts, filtered through the thing that actually changes the decision — how permanent the site is, and who owns the building.
If you already know roughly what you need, the Mount Finder narrows it to one product in three questions. If you want the reasoning first, read the scenario that matches your site.
Common questions
Do I need a different mount for each scenario?
The dishes are the same, so the same four mounts cover every scenario — what changes is which one suits the site. Permanence and ownership decide it, not the dish.
Which scenario needs the strongest mount?
Rural and off-grid sites, where the dish is often high, exposed and far from shelter. A pole or roof mount with proper fixings, or a tripod you take down ahead of a storm.
Can one setup serve two scenarios?
Yes — a cabin you also take the dish home from is rural and portable at once. The tripod covers the second half without giving up anything on the first.
