Trust Proof

Ask for photos, local references, speed checks, and a written quote before you commit.

Spacekits should be judged by visible installation evidence, clear process, location-specific examples, and honest independence from Starlink/SpaceX.

Request installation photos

Real installation photos

Ask for recent client-approved roof, mount, cable path, router, and handover photos that match your site type.

Request county examples

County/project case studies

Ask for examples by county or use case, such as office backup, lodge guest Wi-Fi, rural home, farm, or school connectivity.

Ask for speed-test proof

Before/after speed tests

For suitable jobs, the installer can document pre-checks, post-install Starlink app status, and after-install speed-test screenshots.

Request local references

Reviews with locations

Ask for recent location-tagged customer feedback or references where a client has approved sharing details.

Installer documentation process

Step 02

Install photo log

Client-approved photos of the mount, cable route, weatherproofing, router placement, and final equipment state.

Step 03

Speed and app checks

Before/after notes, app status, obstruction check, speed test, and Wi-Fi coverage observations where available.

Step 04

Handover checklist

Router name, support contact, basic app checks, power guidance, care notes, and next-step recommendations.

County/project proof to request

Ask for evidence that matches the type of site you are planning, not a generic sales promise.

Mounting access, router placement, backup internet, POS/CCTV or work-call readiness.

Naivasha / Nakuru / Kilifi - Airbnb, lodge, or guest house

Guest Wi-Fi zones, mesh/access-point need, booking-system uptime, staff handover.

Clear-sky placement, pole/roof mount, power backup, compound Wi-Fi, CCTV reach.

Kisumu / Machakos / school sites - School or institution

Offline diagnosis

Review app status, cable, power, router lights, dish visibility, service status, and account messages.

Slow speeds

Separate Starlink network performance from indoor WiFi, device load, power issues, or obstruction.

Repair planning

Decide whether the fix needs remote guidance, router relocation, cable replacement, mount adjustment, or a site visit.

Common Starlink problems in Kenya

Common problems include obstruction alerts, weak WiFi, damaged cables, poor router placement, unstable power, account or payment blocks, failed activation, incorrect service address, or kits still linked to another account. The right fix depends on identifying which category the problem belongs to first.

What to send before troubleshooting

The fastest diagnosis starts with your location, site type, Starlink app status message, photos of the dish and cable path, router light status, power setup, and when the issue began. If speeds are slow, share whether the test was done near the router or far away over WiFi.

Remote help vs site visit

Some issues can be handled remotely, especially account messages, router checks, or basic app interpretation. Physical problems such as obstruction, unsafe mounts, damaged cable, roof access, or large WiFi dead zones may require a site visit. Spacekits helps decide the next practical step before wasting time on random resets.

Before you request help

Send the exact Starlink app status or error message.
Share photos of the dish, cable path, router, and power setup.
Confirm whether the issue is offline, slow speed, weak WiFi, or account-related.
Test speed near the router and in the weak area if possible.
Mention recent power cuts, relocation, cable damage, or account changes.
Keep the kit powered safely while diagnostics are reviewed.
