The “Global” Plan allows you to access Mobile Services at any land-based destination where Starlink provides active coverage around the world. Mobile Service cannot be used on the ocean or in-motion without purchasing additional Mobile Priority Service data. Mobile Service can be paused and un-paused at any time.

Starlink does not rely on ground-based infrastructure, so it will work even in remote areas where there is no cell coverage.

If you are getting the “Starlink Disconnected” error, you'll want to check the cable and cable connections on both ends. The connection on the dish is the most common cause of this error. If the cable looks good, it could be a faulty dish or router.
How many devices can Starlink handle at one time? As standard, Starlink can support up to 200 devices but with ClubWiFi's network technology this can be considerably increased to up to 8000 devices securely on a public network.
But in high-density urban areas, even a relatively low percentage of users will quickly overload the Starlink network.
If your router is factory reset (plugged/unplugged 3x), look for the name STINKY. If you already had your Starlink SSID setup prior to the factory reset, rename your Wi-Fi to exactly how it was before with the same password and then your devices will automatically reconnect.
