Satellite internet brings connectivity — and unique security considerations. With Starlink Mini, follow these best practices:
-
Secure the Wi-Fi: Change default router SSID and admin password immediately; use a strong WPA3 or WPA2 passphrase.
-
Use a Personal VPN: For sensitive browsing on public/remote networks, a VPN encrypts traffic end-to-end.
-
Segment Devices: Put IoT or public-facing devices on a guest network separate from work devices.
-
Keep Firmware Updated: Ensure both Starlink app and client devices install patches; if bandwidth is limited, schedule updates for when on AC power or with a fuller battery (e.g., 180Wh clip battery during daytime).
-
Limit Open Ports: Avoid exposing ports/services to the internet; use remote access tools that tunnel securely.
These steps safeguard your data while using Starlink Mini away from managed networks.
