CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Once the installation is completed , it ’ s time to connect the components . Thanks to the simplicity of the Cowfish system , this is very simple and almost impossible to get wrong . Regardless of which option you choose , you will end up with a connection to the dish , a patch cable between the dish power supply and the router , and power connections to both . That ’ s pretty much it .
The Cowfish internet wi-fi routers are pre-configured to recognise the WAN connection to the Starlink system and prioritise this over the mobile broadband connection . You then connect all your devices to the new wi-fi network and you ’ re up and running .

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
With the original Starlink system , you did all your system management through the Starlink app . Now that you ’ re using a separate router , the management of this will be through a separate system . This will be very familiar if you ’ ve ever installed and used a wi-fi router at home on the NBN network .
You open an internet browser on your chosen device and log in using the 192.168.1.1 network address . This will get you into the Cowfish router administration system where you can customise various aspects of the network , including network name and passwords .
This may seem a bit daunting at first but don ’ t worry , Cowfish Technologies provides simple step-by-step instructions that are very clear and easy to follow . If you still have issues , Cowfish has excellent customer support .
Every other function of the Starlink system , including checking connection statistics , obstructions , speed tests , dish settings and support is still accomplished using the Starlink app .
