Activating Your Starlink
The Starlink system needs to be activated under an airtime
rate plan by KVH. Fill out the activation form (available from
your KVH dealer or sales rep) and email it to
airtimeservices@kvh.com.
To complete the activation form, you will need one of the
following Starlink identifiers:

• Starlink system (Kit) serial number (preferred
  method)
• Terminal ID (do not include the “ut” at the beginning)
• Serial number
  The system serial number, starting with “KIT,” is printed on
  a label on the outside of the Starlink box (see Figure 1).
  The terminal ID can be found on the Advanced page of the
  Starlink mobile app (see Figure 2). The serial number
  is printed on a label on the outside of the box (see
  Figure 3) as well as on the enclosed activation sheet.

Changing the Wi-Fi Network
Name and Password

We strongly recommends that you assign a password to
your Starlink’s Wi-Fi network to prevent unauthorized
access. You may also change the name (SSID) of the
network. Follow the steps below.

1. Connect your mobile device to the STARLINK or
   STINKY Wi-Fi network (no password).

If you do not see this network, cycle power (unplug then plug back in the AC power cord) on the router six times in a row, allowing 2-3 seconds between power cycles. Then wait a few minutes for the router to initialize.

2. Open a web browser and go to 192.168.1.1. You
   should see “Starlink Create Network.”
