Slow Rural Internet? This is the fix! Everything you need to know about Starlink!

What happens here

After plugging in the system, the outdoor dish begins to move and adjust itself automatically to find the optimal satellite connection. The presenter notes this process takes about 10 minutes and requires no manual aiming. Simultaneously, the user needs to download and open the Starlink mobile app on their smartphone (available for both iPhone and Android). The app prompts the user to connect to the Starlink Wi-Fi network, which appears in their phone's Wi-Fi settings. After selecting the Starlink network and entering the provided Wi-Fi password, the phone connects to the Starlink router.

Goal: Allow the dish to self-align and connect to the Starlink network using the mobile app.
