How to Fix Starlink Stow Requested Error and Get Uninterrupted Internet with Speedify

Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion

A “Starlink stow requested” alert means your Starlink dish is shutting down and folding away, which cuts off your internet.

Speedify is an app that combines Starlink with a second connection, such as a phone hotspot or cellular data, at once. When Starlink stows and shuts down, Speedify keeps you online through the other connection so your calls and streams keep running.

Why You May Stow Your Starlink 

You may want to stow your Starlink dish in order to put it in storage or return it. You can do that from the Starlink app by selecting the option to “Stow Starlink”. You can also manually stow your Starlink using a simple procedure detailed in the manual or on Starlink’s website.

Once you initiate the stow procedure, Starlink will send an alert and you’ll be able to see it both in the Starlink app and in Speedify. So, in case you’re wondering why the Internet is not working and you’re seeing the “Starlink Stow Requested” alert, you’ll know the reason.

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

When the Starlink dish is stowing (shutting down), the Internet will not work anymore. This will affect your video calls, live streaming or online gaming sessions. 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 there’s a stow requested, this shuts down the Starlink internet. Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
