May 2025

When I setup the Starlink antenna, I pointed it to the most visible part of the sky.

Yesterday, I got the router I bought on Amazon and plugged it into the antenna's power supply. (I have the "enterprise" antenna)

This allows me to make tests without connecting it to my network.

Fortunately, the app works with that setup. (It didn't work with my ER605 router. I will look into that later)

We discovered that the antenna was pointed opposite to the way recommended by the app.

After aligning it, I'm getting 150+ Mb/s download and 25+ Mb/s upload.

(But it worked too with the antenna pointed the other way).

The antenna is close to the house so it cannot be seen from the street.

I figured out how to make it work with my router.

I had set the "Next Hop" of the static route to "192.168.100.1", but I needed to set it to "0.0.0.0".

The app works fine now.

My website is now hosted on Starlink since yesterday.

It seems to work fine.

It is still IPv4-only until I figure out how to make IPv6 work.

...the house gets emptied !

We have boxes and stuff everywhere and we need all of that gone so we can put the house up for sale.

They will empty :

- The living room
- The laundry room
- The furnace room
- The two basement apartments
- The two sheds in the backyard

Leaving only the furniture.

What's left we will move in June when we move into the new house.
