Hey Starlink Nerd 👋 Ever wondered if you can keep your Mini cozy indoors and still get internet?
Body:
We see this question all the time—
“Can I just put my Starlink Mini by a window and still get a signal?”
Totally fair. Because let’s be real—not everyone’s ready to drill holes, run cables, or climb onto the roof just to binge YouTube.
Here’s the truth about running Starlink Mini through a window.
✅ First, the Short Answer: Yes (But It Depends).
The Starlink Mini can sometimes work surprisingly well indoors by a window.
👉 Regular glass usually lets the Ku-band signal pass through (not perfectly, but enough).
👉 Plenty of users have reported solid performance when their Mini has a clean view of the sky.
👉 BUT—tinted, double-pane, or Low-E coated glass? That’s where performance starts to drop.
So yes—through-the-window setups can work, but results vary depending on your glass and view of the sky.
🧪 But What If I Try It Anyway?
Hey, we’re nerds. We test stuff.
Real-world user tests show:
✅ Great results when the Mini is placed at a big, clear window facing the sky
🟡 Spotty performance if trees, roofs, or nearby buildings are in the way
🚫 Struggles through tinted, heated, or reflective glass
So if you’re in a cabin with big windows and open sky? You might just be golden.
📝 Also: Starlink officially says the Mini is designed for outdoor stationary use. Using it indoors is kind of a hack.
🚪 What’s the Best Move Then?
If you want to try Starlink indoors:
✅ Put it right up against the clearest window you’ve got
✅ Test different spots until you find the strongest connection
✅ For best results, take it outside with a proper mount
