If it is completely dead, buy a new router wireless access point (WAP).
Hard reset = Depress the hidden button through the hole in the back with a bent paper clip for about 30 seconds.
You’re missing the point that he saves $50/mo if he does the reset and resumes tagging along to his house service. The Starlink mini then goes on vacation until he takes the rv out .
If it is easier for him and he can afford the $50/mo who are we to tell him he’s wrong ? If the service is paused out there sometimes it won’t be a true $600/yr anyway. I know many many people that spend far more than $600/yr on dumber ****.
Better for who ? Better for his pocket book sure but maybe not better for him. Ditching the house provider will still require a redo of the current setup or more all new stuff to setup and install.
The "codes" can be overridden by a hard reset of the "system" (routers/APs). For the cost of 5 months of starlink, I'd come "fix" that whole system and have it all back up, handing you the codes.
Do you own Tesla stock, per chance?
Actually I do lol. I have a day trader college buddy that kept bugging me to invest in Tesla in 2018 so I did and still have the shares. I don’t regret that one. A small 4 figure investment is now approaching a 6 figure value. He’s bugged me about far more things than I’ve purchased and I’d be about even if I jumped on all of them at the time. The Tesla stock so far is proving to be a good thing. It’s got to get down pretty dang low before I’m upside down on it lol.
Boredom on the internet perhaps
Is that all that have Starlink ? Figured there’d be more.
I have two internet providers at home. Fiber to the demark is the main one provided by the local telco and a 5G box to use as a backup. My Dream Machine SE can make use of a multiple WAN scenario so I have a backup if something goes wrong. My alarm system in the chicken barn is internet based so it cannot go down. Instead of having the 5G box in the barn I put it in my network closet and have a backup for the entire property now.

I don’t live in the city. Two choices only, unless the old satellite systems are still in business.
I have no interest or desire to pay out the *** for speed I don’t want or need. Just basic access. Like I said, Starlink doesn’t meet my humble needs. Sounds like it meets yours, though. I don’t have any chickens, except what’s in the freezer. The neighbor at the shop had some that occasionally visited the shop. Didn’t see them this summer, so I suspect they ended up in the freezer, too.
Got to admit it on the stock ownership. You sound like a salesman. No offense meant. Just an observation. Starlink has 8 million customers globally, although the numbers are all over the map. I couldn’t tell if that’s users or subscribers, though.
