StarLinkAssistant vs Midco Wi

I wrote the Starlink Assistant App(SLA) because integrating the Starlink System into my home Internet system was a bit difficult. Another reason is that seeing how the Starlink system works is great fun. I want this app to help everyone identify and fix issues, use, and enjoy Starlink. The app uses color images and help pages to assist you navigate through most issues. The main page displays general information about how it is performing. The Initial Setup page describes how to unbox & connect all equipment and wiring, install dishy (the Starlink Antenna), and configure the WiFi router. It also has YouTube links to explain how to unbox, install Dishy, configure your wifi router, and how to run a network cable. The Router/Wi-Fi page includes a test of the connection between the app and the router, display status of Uptime, and Wi-Fi software & firmware versions. Detailed instructions on how to use your own router are also included. The Dishy page displays your antenna/Dishy uptime, physical issues (if the motors are stuck, an issue with temperature, mast not level, or unexpected location), and hardware & software versions. The Satellite page will display “No Satellites” time, view all Satellites in real time(View map), show how & when you can see the satellites in the night sky, and a satellite help section. The Satellite help section describes how to use the View Satellite Map and give you a better understanding when satellite positions will be optimal. The Internet page will display whether the Internet is up or down, average latency times, Internet Speed time for Dishy(Direct Internet times), 4 different speed test checkers and Youtube links for instruction. The Obstructions page will display if there is a current Obstruction between Dishy and a satellite, Uptime, Obstruction recommendations and status. In case the obstruction is a tree, the app has information on local tree trimming companies. The Support page how to get Starlink Support, getting the debug information and links to popular Starlink support. The Help page describes in detail how to use each page (Setup, Router, Dishy, Satellite, Internet, Obstructions, & Support).

A corner-to-corner connectivity solution, Midco® Wi-Fi brings your Midco internet to the next level. Midco Wi-Fi uses your existing internet connection, strategically placed pods and this app to optimize, control and protect your home network. To access the app, you must have Midco Wi-Fi (not just Midco internet). – Streamlined Navigation Using the app is now easier than ever. Its new tabbed navigation bar allows for simplified discovery and control: •Home – Provides a complete view of everything across your network. •People – View the people and devices on your network. •Newsfeed – Alerts you to any network activity, events and new features. •More – Quick access to settings and account management. – Smart Self-Optimizing Technology Midco Wi-Fi uses built-in AI to automatically adjust your network as devices come and go so you don’t have to think about your Wi-Fi – unless you want to. – Guard: Advanced Security When enabled, Midco Wi-Fi preemptively monitors threats to protect your network without impacting the performance of your browsing experience. Then, if a threat is detected, the device is automatically placed into quarantine to protect your network’s integrity. – Adapt: Network Visibility Have complete control over your home network. Know who is connecting – from which device and when. Create and manage guest networks and passwords for visitors outside your main home network. Then, use the built-in speed testing functionality within the Midco Wi-Fi app to ensure you’re getting the most out of your internet bandwidth per device. – Sense: Motion Detection Use each person’s primary device connection to determine if they’re at home or even the room where they’re connected to your network. – People and Devices Set and manage Midco Wi-Fi preferences at the user or device level. Start by creating a profile for each person. Then, set their content access limits, adblocking settings and more. Once you assign devices to each profile, those content access limits and adblocking settings will be applied to all their devices. Plus, you can set an everyday schedule by implementing device freezes. – Simple Self-Installation Grab your pods and go!
