Frequently asked questions
The Cosmo Mini operates off your caravan's 12V system, so no inverter or mains power is required. You do not need to modify any Starlink hardware. The Starlink app remains fully functional for administration. If connecting to a VanConnect router, you may need to change the router's IP range to avoid conflicts with the Starlink Mini dish.

If the power LED does not light up, check the power cables, ensure they are connected properly, and verify that the fuse is in working condition.
