Star link is baffling me.

We live in the sticks in mid-Wales where fibre broadband is just a pipedream, so about six months ago we sold our souls to Musk and bought starlink.
A few days ago we had a very brief power wobble, and since then our mobile phones and TV fire stick will connect but laptops and internet radio won't.
Why is this happening?

Can't make any suggestion other than the usual "turn every off (for half an hour) and try again to see if they connect "
Then slaughter a goat.

Oh, and have you tried using a phone as a local hotspot to see if you can use the Starlink data for the laptops and internet radio?
Until you can get the major issue sorted
