Custom Starlink Installation for Montana Properties
Starlink performs best when it’s engineered for the property, not just plugged in. Big Sky Wired designs and installs custom Starlink systems for ranches, estates, multi-building properties, and businesses across southwest Montana: the right mount in the right spot, and a real network behind it that reaches every building.
Built for properties that need more than a box on the roof
Large homes where the Starlink router can’t cover the house
Ranches and properties with shops, barns, guest houses, or cabins to connect
Businesses running Starlink as a primary connection or automatic backup
Cabins, lodges, and rentals that need guest WiFi at every door
Sites where the dish has to live on a pole or an outbuilding to see the sky
Properties that already have Starlink but aren’t getting the performance they should
Equipment and service plans are supplied through our Starlink partner, so one local team is responsible for the whole setup.
What a custom install includes
Site survey for sky view and obstructions before anything is mounted
Custom mounting on a roof, wall, pole, or ground mount, placed where the dish performs
Long cable runs with outdoor-rated cable, conduit, and sealed penetrations
A business-grade router and firewall in place of the stock Starlink router where it makes sense
Whole-property WiFi with access points indoors and out
Wireless or fiber links to outbuildings, so one Starlink can serve the whole property
Automatic failover between Starlink and a second connection
Remote monitoring after install day
How it works
Tell us about the property: the address, the buildings, and what isn’t working.
We walk the site and design the system around sky view, distances, and how you use the property.
You get a written scope and price before any work starts.
We install, test coverage in every building, and hand off clear documentation.
If you want it, we keep monitoring the system after install day.
Is a custom install the right fit?
We focus on Starlink projects that need design work. If you only need a standard roof mount for a kit you’ve already bought, a basic installer will usually be the better value. If your property needs more than that, or a basic install didn’t solve the problem, that’s exactly the work we do.
See it in action: one network across a whole ranch, and getting real performance out of Starlink on a large property.
Custom Starlink FAQ
Can I use a Starlink kit I already bought?
Yes. You can bring your own kit, or we can supply the equipment and service plan through our Starlink partner. Either way, we design the mount, the cabling, and the network behind it.
Where does the dish go?
Wherever it gets a clear view of the sky, which isn't always the roof of the main house. On a lot of Montana properties the right spot is a pole, an outbuilding, or a ground mount, with a long outdoor-rated cable run back to the network. We survey for obstructions before anything is mounted.
Can one Starlink cover the whole property?
Usually, yes. We extend one connection to shops, barns, and guest houses with wireless links or buried fiber, and add access points so every building has real WiFi. You don't need a separate Starlink at every building.
Can Starlink be a backup for my business internet?
Yes. We set it up as an automatic failover, so it takes over when your main line drops and switches back when it returns.
Can you see problems before I call?
If you choose ongoing support, we monitor your Starlink remotely after install day, so we can often spot a problem early instead of waiting for a call.
Do you only do custom installs?
We focus on properties that need design work. If you only need a standard roof mount for a kit you've already bought, a basic installer is usually the better value, and we'll tell you so.

From a Starlink client
“Big Sky Wired did an incredible job getting my rural home connected. With no traditional internet available, Angas and his team set up Starlink with a full network inside plus outdoor WiFi access points that keep all my buildings connected. Everything works seamlessly now, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
For ranches, large homes, and remote businesses
Starlink That Reaches Every Building.
Starlink performs best when it is planned, not just set on a roof. We pick the mount, run the cable, and carry the connection to every building on the property.
Mount Planned for Clear Sky
Roof, gable, or pole, placed for an open view of the sky and a clean look.
Cable Run Clean and Sealed
Penetrations flashed and sealed, with cable routed and protected from weather.
Into a Real Network
Starlink set up to feed a proper router and WiFi system, not the stock router alone.
WiFi to Every Building
Shops, guest houses, and barns tied into one network across the property.
Automatic Backup
Set up as failover for your main internet, or as the main line with a backup of its own.
Through Our Starlink Partner
Equipment and service plans supplied through our Starlink partner, installed and set up by us.
