Synapse 3.0 Install Error - Server not Available *STARLINK FIX* | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
So i had this issue today when reinstalling Synapse 3.0 and no matter what steps i took to disable my FW, Antivirus, remove drivers, etc. - none of it worked. As a last ditch resort to remove my internet connection from the equation - i disabled my LAN connection from my STARLINK internet service and connected to my cell phone's hot spot to try the installer again. VOILA - the install fired right up and worked flawlessly. There is definitely something with STARLINK's service that prevents the installer from working. What exactly that is, i dont know - but at least now I know where the problem resides! It's likely due to the fact that our routers dont connect directly to the internet and as such - there's some PnP or other NAT issues at play (also why i occasionally have problems playing online games).

Just to second this and add a little info… On Starlink as well and ran into the same issue except I used a VPN and it worked. It looks like Razer is using akamai for content distribution:

          manifest.razerapi.com.edgesuite.net.globalredir.akadns.net

 

and that’s what not working. from the log:

 

2024-11-07 12:34:52,978 <5] ERROR RazerInstaller 8(null)] - Error downloading file (https://manifest.razerapi.com/api/legacy/vAHwmpVq/prod/lwiproductlist/get): The operation has timed out

This happens with other hosted installer packages (like NordVPN) as well. What’s odd is that it looks like it depends on which POP I’m on, I set this up about a month ago when I was on a different POP and it worked fine. I’ve let Starlink support know but honestly I don’t expect much from it.
