Starlink Router Login: 192.168.1.1 & WiFi Password
Access Starlink router settings with the Starlink app. Router IP, dish address, WiFi password change and reset.
Starlink routers are managed in the Starlink app or at dishy.starlink.com while connected to Starlink WiFi. There is no admin password.
Starlink does not use a traditional router login with a username and password. You manage the router and dish through the Starlink app on your phone or computer, which talks to the router directly when you are on its WiFi.
Starlink has no traditional router login with a username and password. Manage the router and dish in the Starlink app, which talks to the router directly when you are on its WiFi.
The router uses 192.168.1.1 as its gateway, and the dish reports statistics at 192.168.100.1. This guide explains what each address does, how to change WiFi settings and how to reset.
How to access Starlink router settings
- Connect your phone or computer to the Starlink WiFi network.
- Open the Starlink app, or go to dishy.starlink.com in a browser.
- Tap Settings to change the network name and password.
- Use Advanced for options such as bypass mode, band splitting and the router reboot.
You do not need to log in to your Starlink account to change local WiFi settings, but you must be connected to the Starlink network.
The app is the whole login here: no username, no password, just the network.

When someone asks for the Starlink password, this table is the answer I point to.
How to change the Starlink WiFi password
- Connect to your Starlink WiFi.
- Open the Starlink app and tap Settings.
- Enter a new network name or password and tap Save.
- The router restarts its WiFi. Reconnect your devices.
A new password means reconnecting every device, so I pick one worth keeping.
Using your own router with Starlink
Many users connect a third-party router or mesh system. On Starlink routers with a separate Ethernet adapter, plug your router into the adapter, then turn on Bypass mode in the app so your router handles WiFi and addresses.
Bypass mode turns off the Starlink router WiFi. You still manage the dish through the app, and your own router keeps its usual login, for example 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Bypass mode is the one setting I never rush.
Starlink router problems and fixes
- App says not connected: join the Starlink WiFi, turn off mobile data and VPN, then reopen the app.
- 192.168.1.1 shows nothing: that is normal. Use the app or dishy.starlink.com.
- Slow or dropping WiFi: move the router to an open spot, or split the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands in the app.
- Forgot WiFi password: change it in the app while connected by cable, or reset the router.
For me, the app saying not connected usually means I am on the wrong network.
How to reset a Starlink router
Power cycle the router three times in a row. Unplug it, plug it back in, wait for the light to come on, and repeat until the third restart. Most Starlink routers return to factory settings and broadcast the default STARLINK network.
Newer routers may also have a reset option in the app. After a reset, set up the WiFi name and password again. Three power cycles is the reset I remember, because it is the same every time.
Which Starlink router you have changes the login
Starlink has shipped a few router generations, and they don’t all behave the same:
- Gen 1 (round dish kits): separate router, managed through the app. The web page shows little.
- Gen 2 (rectangular Standard Actuated): router with a built-in power supply; most settings are in the app.
- Gen 3 / Router Mini (Standard and Mini kits): app-first again, with dish and router status available at 192.168.100.1 for the dish.
- Starlink Mini: the router is built into the dish itself.
In every case, the Starlink app is where you change the WiFi name and password, enable bypass mode and run speed tests. The local address 192.168.100.1 shows dish status and statistics rather than full router settings.
The generation matters more than the model name, so I check the dish first.
Using your own router with Starlink
Lots of people prefer their own mesh or router, especially in bigger homes. Starlink allows this with Bypass mode, which turns off Starlink WiFi so your router handles everything.
- On Gen 2 and Gen 3 systems, you need the Starlink Ethernet adapter (or the Gen 3 router’s port) to connect your router.
- Plug your router’s WAN port into the adapter or port.
- In the Starlink app, go to Settings, Router, and turn on Bypass Starlink WiFi.
- Restart your router and it will get an address from Starlink.
Bypass can only be undone with a factory reset of the Starlink router. Make sure your own router is working before you switch it on.
The adapter is the part people forget, and it is the part the whole setup depends on.
Starlink and port forwarding
Standard residential Starlink plans use carrier-grade NAT for IPv4, so port forwarding won’t let outside devices reach you. IPv6 is available on many connections, and some business plans offer a public IPv4 address. If you need remote access to cameras or a home server, a cloud relay or a VPN service like Tailscale is usually the practical answer.
Carrier-grade NAT is the wall here, and no setting on the router gets around it.
Common questions
What is the Starlink router login?
Starlink routers are managed in the Starlink app. The address 192.168.100.1 shows dish status, and some routers also answer at 192.168.1.1, but most settings are only in the app.
How do I change my Starlink WiFi password?
Open the Starlink app, tap Settings, then Router, and edit the network name and password. Your devices will need to reconnect.
Can I use my own router with Starlink?
Yes. Connect it through the Ethernet adapter or the router’s port and turn on Bypass mode in the app.
Does Starlink support port forwarding?
Not on standard residential plans, because of carrier-grade NAT. Use IPv6, a business plan with a public IP, or a remote access service instead.
How do I factory reset a Starlink router?
Power cycle the router three times in a row (off and on with a few seconds between) on most models, or use the reset button on newer routers. It returns to the setup network shown in the app.
