How to configure the WLAN settings of the Selfsat Snipe Air receiver?
Frequently Asked Questions - 30/04/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The Selfsat Snipe Air receiver automatically creates a WiFi network to allow you to configure it and receive SAT>IP streams on your devices. Here’s how to access these settings depending on your device:

Connecting to the Snipe Air WiFi network:

  • Look for the network named SATIPLINK2G (2.4 GHz band) or SATIPLINK5G (5 GHz band) in your list of available networks. The name may display additional numbers at the end (for example, “SATIPLINK2G15” or “SATIPLINK5G07”).
  • Select the WiFi network. If your device supports dual-band WiFi, prefer SATIPLINK5G for a more stable connection.
  • Enter the default password: SATIPLINK25 (in uppercase, do not forget the 2 digits).
  • Note that only SATIPLINK2G will be displayed if your device only accepts the 2.4 GHz band.

Accessing the router configuration interface:

  • Once connected to the Snipe Air WiFi network, open a web browser on your computer or mobile device.
  • Enter the address: http://satiplink.com to access the administration page of the built-in router.
  • From this interface, you can change the WiFi network name (SSID) and the password to customize your access.

Optimizing the connection:

  • If you experience WiFi stability issues, the management interface at http://satiplink.com allows you to change the WiFi channel used.
  • Depending on your technical specifications, the Snipe Air can handle up to 8 simultaneous WiFi devices with a range of up to 80 meters in open field.

1-1. Introduction

These instructions describe the functions and operation of SNIPE Air, auto skew satellite system.

Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following instruction, both for installation and operation.

SNIPE Air is an intelligent satellite-TV reception system which can align itself towards a preset satellite automatically as long as the system is located within the footprint of the selected satellite.

SNIPE Air only occupies requisite space while it performs the necessary adjustments with slim and agile antenna body.

For general operation, please ensure that the system always has a clear view to the sky. In Europe, all satellites are in an approximate position in the south. If the satellite's signal beam is interrupted by obstacles such as mountains, buildings or trees, the unit will not function and no TV signal will be received. For more information on general use of this unit consult local dealer for assistance.

Also, it is equipped with SAT>IP LNB and 802.11AC router, which enables user to use up to 8 different mobile devices simultaneously to watch satellite broadcasting channels.

Assemble controller Wi-Fi antenna

a. Get ready four (4) of Wi-Fi antennas to assemble to the controller.
b. Check the printed Wi-Fi range, 5G or 2.4G, at the bottom of antenna and on the top side of the controller to match.
c. Put and spin of each antenna to assemble the controller.
d. Hold the bottom of each antenna and spin tight till the end for firm assembly.

2.4G 2.4G 5G 5G Hold the very bottom of antenna and spin tight

NOTE

Please mind that the Wi-Fi antenna should not be placed behind or underneath of metal material to ensure its performance.

1. Get ready to use

a. When the all cable connections are completed, press POWER to turn the unit on.
b. HOME LED will be solid this means the antenna is ready to go. If the antenna did not go back to HOME position, HOME LED will continue to flash while antenna comes back to HOME. When the unit is ready, the default satellite "ASTRA1" or the last selected satellite will be shown on LCD screen of the controller.

NOTE

HOME position is when the antenna completely folded down and facing forward.

c. Communication LED will be solid when the unit is turned on. (This light means antenna unit is communicating with controller correctly.)
d. ROUTER PW LED will be solid on since the unit is turned on. (This light means embedded router is ON)
e. CPU LED will flash since the unit is turned on. (This light means embedded router is working properly.)
f. SAT>IP LED will flash temporarily to check operational channel when SAT>IP server is turned on. (This light will flash again when SAT>IP server is in actual operation streaming data out to smart devices.)
g. GPS LED flashes while searching for the current location. When GPS position is confirmed the LED will become solid.
h. Waiting until both HOME & GPS LED's are solid is recommended as this will allow the unit to find the selected satellite faster with more precise alignment accuracy.
i. If the searching operation starts before GPS becomes solid GPS LED will continue to flash even when the satellite is already locked. In this case, the unit may readjust skew once its current location is confirmed.

2. Selecting the satellite

a. Select the satellite which user wants to view using arrow buttons on the controller and press OK.
b. Network Identification (NID) check LED will flash and the antenna status will display "SEARCHING" and then "CHECKING" on LCD screen.
c. NID check LED will be solid once the satellite is found and then "SAT FOUND" will appear on LCD.
d. If wrong satellite is selected, move to the correct satellite name using arrows and press OK to confirm new satellite.

3. Back to HOME position & Turning off

a. After use and before travelling, press HOME to return the unit back to HOME position.
b. To fully turn off the unit, press and hold POWER for 5 seconds when the unit is at HOME position.
c. If user stays in a location for an extended period or wish to save power user can leave the unit up by simply turning off the unit by ROUTER button on the left side of controller. ROUTER PW LED will be off but signal stills comes through.

4. Special function 1 : FINE TUNE mode

FINE TUNE mode can be initialized when a selected satellite is found and user wants to increase the signal strength further.

a. Press TUNE to start FINE TUNE mode.
b. First TUNE is for AZ (Azimuth). Adjust antenna position using arrow buttons to find a new position providing better signal quality and press OK to set. The signal level will be displayed on the controller (Q_) or satellite receiver.
c. Repeat the same process of adjust the EL (Elevation) and SK (LNB skew).
d. To save new position of the satellite and exit, press TUNE button. Saved new position will be placed in the memory for the next turn on. But once vehicle moves or confirms new GPS location, the saved position will be reset.

5. Special function 2 : ERROR MESSAGE

Error message LED will be illuminated and the error message detail will be shown on LCD display, this will detail if there is a problem with main unit.

i. HOME POSITION error

If antenna does not come back to HOME position within the allowed time or the system does not recognise HOME position despite the antenna being back at HOME position (The Limit sensor is faulty).

ii. TUNNER error

If there is no response when searching the satellite due to a faulty tuner or its settings.

iii. MOVEMENT error

If the PRO MAX cannot move to correct position for some reason.

iv. COMMUNICATION error

If connection is lost between the unit and controller that lasts longer than 5 seconds.

6. Special function 3 : TEST mode

TEST mode can be initialised when either an error message is shown or the antenna is at HOME position.

a. Press MODE once to enter TEST mode and press OK.
b. Go to the available functions on LCD using the arrow buttons and press OK to select.
c. To exit, press MODE and unit will return to previous status.

7. Special function 4 : Ex LAN port

User are able to watch SAT>IP broadcasting channels on IP client or laptop by hard wired connection of LAN cable to Ex LAN port on the left side of the controller. If Ex LAN port is in use, LAN LED on the right side of controller will be solid on. (Extra LAN cable is not included in the package.)

3-3. Quick reference

  1. Press POWER to turn on the unit and select a satellite using arrow buttons and press OK.
