Starlink Dishes 2026 Guide: Important Installation Tips for Every Starlink Setups

If you're installing 2 Starlink dishes or more, follow these setup tips to maximize the speed, performance, coverage, and reliability you get from the multiple dishes. Alex and Brian discuss our findings about Starlink setup with multiple dishes, and how to make sure they connect to different satellites for faster upload and download speeds when bonding Starlink with Speedify. Starlink setup also recommends keeping dishes 30cm apart, but Starlink internet speed testing shows 8 feet of separation makes a measurable difference. Tilt Starlink dishes northeast and northwest so each dish grabs different satellites. Every Starlink dish takes the same default IP address — 192.168.100.1. Run two Starlink dishes on the same network and the Starlink app can only see one of them. Speedify has new features for tracking your Starlink performance, including dish obstuction maps, dish alignment, IP conflicts, and signal strength.
