RBR40 to Starlink Gen 3

The process of connecting a customer WiFi router to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) system  is the same for every brand of WiFi router, including the Netgear RBR40 Orbi.

Use an Ethernet cable (such as the one packed in the box) to connect the WAN (yellow) port on the Orbi to the ISP device.  The Orbi will go through a start up sequence taking several minutes and then the "Ring Light" at the top will turn off.  At this point, a device connected to the Orb should have an internet connection   The connection can be by Ethernet cable or by connecting to the WiFi system identified on the bottom of the case: usually the letters "ORBI" plus a number, with a password consisting of some simple words and a number.

There are some aspects of such a connection that many customers find unsatisfactory:

Because there are "two routers" (the technical term is Double NAT)

• Some applications are much more difficult to get working for devices connected to the customer router. (such as certain types of internet gaming, using VPN to access the Orbi network from the internet, sharing files with the internet, etc.
• It is a LOT more complicated to connect local devices if some are on the ISP network and some are on the Orbi network.
• There is an obvious possibility of radio interference between the two systems.

Because "one network" eliminates most of those issues, many customers choose to take steps to turn one of the routers into "not a router" and turn off the WiFi radios on the ISP device.

If the only additional equipment is one RBR40, the only way to expand WiFi coverage will be to use a LONG Ethernet cable to place the RBR40 at least 30-40 feet away from the Starlink router.
