adminOrdering Starlink in 2026 is straightforward, but there are a few details that matter if you want the right plan, correct hardware, and no delays.
This guide walks you through the entire process—from checking availability to tracking your delivery—so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Check Availability at Your Location
Everything starts with availability. Starlink service, plans, and capacity vary by location.
👉 Check Starlink availability in your area
You will be asked to enter:
- Your address (for fixed locations), or
- Your region (for Roam and mobile plans)
This step confirms whether Starlink works where you live and which plans you can order.
Step 2: Choose the Right Starlink Plan
Once availability is confirmed, you will see the plans offered for your location. Choose based on how you intend to use Starlink, not just price.
Quick guidance:
- Residential: Fixed home use (best value for most people)
- Roam: RVs, travel, and temporary locations
- Priority: Businesses and high-demand users
- Maritime / Aviation: Specialized use only
If you are unsure, Residential is the safest starting point for home users.
Step 3: Review Hardware Options
Starlink automatically assigns compatible hardware based on your plan and region. In most cases, this includes:
- Starlink dish
- Router
- Power supply
- Standard mounting base
You may also see optional accessories (mounts, cable extensions). These are not required to place your order and can be added later.
Do not overthink this step—most users start with the standard kit and upgrade mounts only if needed.
Step 4: Create Your Starlink Account
To place an order, you will:
- Create a Starlink account
- Enter your service address (or region for Roam)
- Provide billing details
- Confirm your order
Make sure:
- Your email address is correct
- Your address is accurate (important for service eligibility)
Your account will be used later to:
- Manage billing
- Pause or change plans
- Monitor service status
Step 5: Confirm Pricing and Place the Order
Before finalizing, review:
- One-time hardware cost
- Monthly service fee
- Any applicable taxes or fees
Pricing is shown clearly before checkout. Once confirmed, place the order.
You will receive:
- Order confirmation email
- Estimated shipping timeline
Step 6: Track Shipping and Delivery
After ordering:
- Starlink prepares your hardware
- You receive tracking details when shipped
- Delivery times vary by region
In many areas, delivery takes a few days to a couple of weeks. Delays are more common in high-demand regions.
Step 7: What to Do While You Wait
While waiting for delivery:
- Download the Starlink app
- Plan your dish placement
- Decide where the router will sit
- Prepare basic mounting tools if needed
This makes installation faster once the kit arrives.
Common Ordering Questions (Quick Answers)

Can I cancel later?
Yes. You can cancel or pause service through your account.
