Speedify alerts you about your Starlink dish status

The Speedify software app alerts you about your Starlink dish status - i.e. when your actuator motor is stuck, the mast is not vertical or there's a thermal throttle. These Starlink dish alerts will appear on your Speedify software app dashboard and are triggered if the specific condition was met at least once in the previous 15 seconds. They will persist for as long as they are active.

Why the Starlink Dish Is Overheating

Starlink overheating occurs when the device reaches a temperature above 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit). In this case, you can get two alerts from Starlink:

  • Thermal Throttle - when it's throttling performance to cool down.
  • Thermal Shutdown - when it's reached the maximum temperature threshold and has stopped service to cool down.

In both cases, Starlink internet service will resume when the dish reaches a nominal operating temperature.

While Starlink is throttling performance or stopping its service, you are left with poor Internet, which translates to:

  • Intermittent disconnections during important video meetings
  • Frustrating buffering while streaming
  • Connection drops during online gaming
  • Interrupted downloads of important files

Traditional advice suggests installing the Starlink device in a properly ventilated location or not exposed to external heat sources (like exhaust vents, etc.). But these solutions aren't always practical or possible.

Why You Need Speedify: It Combines Starlink with a Secondary Connection - 4G LTE / 5G Cellular, DSL, etc. - for Uninterrupted Internet

Usually you have to put your Starlink somewhere at shade or get it away from external heat sources to be able to use your Starlink internet. You won’t be able to do that if you’re in a video call, live streaming or playing games online at the very moment when your Starlink dish overheats. That’s why it’s important to use Speedify as a failover solution for your Internet.

Speedify's channel bonding technology allows you to combine your Starlink connection with any other available internet source:

  • Cellular data (4G/5G)
  • DSL or cable internet backup
  • Public Wi-Fi within range
  • Mobile hotspots

When Starlink overheating causes a momentary outage, Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
