Learn how to manage your Starlink WiFi's 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections effectively with expert tips.

930 views

Starlink WiFi does not currently support splitting into separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. It uses a unified SSID to manage both frequencies automatically to optimize connection quality. To manage devices on specific bands, consider using a WiFi extender that can create distinct 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs from your main Starlink connection. This setup allows better control over device connections and possibly improved performance tailored to compatibility and range requirements.
