Reset your Starlink password through the Starlink app or web interface

You can reset your Starlink WiFi password in two ways: through the Starlink mobile app (the fastest method) or through the web browser interface on any device connected to your network. Both routes take about five minutes and require you to be logged into your Starlink account. The app method works on iPhone or Android; the web method works on any computer or tablet.

If you have forgotten your account password entirely and cannot log into the app or web interface, you will need to reset your account password first through the Starlink website before you can change your WiFi password. That process uses your email address and takes a few minutes longer.

Key Takeaways

  • The Starlink app is the fastest way to change your WiFi password — open the app, tap your dish name, select WiFi settings, and enter a new password.
  • You can also reset your WiFi password through a web browser by typing 192.168.100.1 into the address bar and logging in with your account credentials.
  • If you have forgotten your account password, go to starlink.com, click "Sign In", then "Forgot password" to reset it using your email address.
  • Your new WiFi password takes effect when ready on all devices, though devices already connected will stay connected until you restart them.
  • If you cannot remember your email address or cannot access it, contact Starlink support through the app or website for account recovery.

Reset your WiFi password using the Starlink app

Open the Starlink app on your phone and make sure you are logged into your account. Tap the name of your Starlink dish at the top of the screen (usually something like "Starlink" or a custom name you gave it). This opens your dish settings.

Scroll down and tap "WiFi Settings". You will see your current network name (SSID) and a field showing your current password. Tap the password field and replace it with a new one. Starlink requires passwords to be at least eight characters long and recommends mixing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" when you are done.

The new password takes effect within a few seconds. Devices already connected to your network will stay connected, but the next time they disconnect and reconnect (or the next time you restart them), they will need the new password.

Reset your WiFi password using a web browser

On any device connected to your Starlink network, open a web browser and type 192.168.100.1 into the address bar. Press Enter. You will see a login screen asking for your Starlink account email and password.

Enter your email address and account password, then click "Sign In". Once logged in, look for "WiFi" or "WiFi Settings" in the menu on the left side of the screen. Click it. You will see your network name and current password displayed.

Click on the password field, delete the old password, and type a new one. Click "Save" or "explore". The change takes effect when ready, and you will be logged out of the web interface. Reconnect to your WiFi using the new password on any device that needs it.

Reset your account password if you have forgotten it

If you cannot remember your Starlink account password and cannot log into the app or web interface, go to starlink.com on any device. Click "Sign In" in the top right corner. On the login screen, click "Forgot password".

Enter the email address associated with your Starlink account. Starlink will send a password reset link to that email. Open your email, find the message from Starlink, and click the reset link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Enter it twice to confirm, then click "Reset Password".

Once your account password is reset, you can log back into the Starlink app or the web interface at 192.168.100.1 and change your WiFi password using the steps above.

What to do if you cannot access your email address

If you no longer have access to the email address on your Starlink account, you cannot reset your password through the automated process. Contact Starlink support through the app (if you can still log in) or through the website. Go to starlink.com, scroll to the bottom, and click "Support" or "Contact Us".

Starlink support can verify your identity using other information (such as your service address, phone number, or account number) and help you regain access to your account. This process usually takes one to two business days. Have your account number or service address ready when you contact them.

Reconnect your devices after changing your WiFi password

After you change your WiFi password, devices that are already connected will continue to work until they restart or lose connection. When they try to reconnect, they will ask for the new password. On phones and tablets, go to WiFi settings, find your Starlink network name, and tap it. When prompted, enter your new password.

On computers, click the WiFi icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac), find your Starlink network, and click "Connect". Enter the new password when prompted. Smart home devices, printers, and other connected gadgets will also need the new password — check each device's WiFi settings and update them one at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my WiFi password without logging into my account?

No. Both the app and web interface require you to log in with your Starlink account email and password. This is a security measure to prevent someone else from changing your network settings. If you have forgotten your account password, reset it first using the "Forgot password" link on starlink.com.

What happens to devices connected to my WiFi when I change the password?

Devices already connected stay connected until they restart or lose signal. When they try to reconnect, they will need the new password. You do not have to disconnect them manually — just update the password in each device's WiFi settings when it asks.

Is there a default WiFi password on Starlink routers?

Yes. Your router comes with a default network name and password printed on a sticker on the device itself. You can find this information in the Starlink app under "WiFi Settings" as well. It is a good idea to change this to something you can remember.

How long does it take for the new password to work on all my devices?

The password change takes effect on the router when ready. Each device needs to be updated individually — when it tries to connect, it will ask for the new password. There is no delay once you enter the correct password on each device.

What if I reset my password but still cannot log into the app?

Make sure you are using the correct email address and that you typed your new password correctly. If you still cannot log in, try logging out completely, closing the app, and opening it again. If the problem continues, contact Starlink support through the website for account troubleshooting.
