RBR50 with StarLink
Greetings! I'm new to the forum so thanks in advance for pearls of wisdom from the collective . . . I am in the process of installing and setting up the new version 2 (rectangular dish) StarLink...
Why not do it the simple way?
Leave the Starlink router in router mode and put the netgears IP address into it's (starlink router) DMZ?
that'd let you still be able to use the starlink app/features and all traffic gets forwarded to the netgear router.
I don't have a starlink devices to play with (maybe someday) but that'd be the router I'd follow.
And just explored DMZ - - - no way to open up open up UDP and TCP on the StarLink router.

what actual model router is it from starlink?
the DMZ should pass all info if its coded right.
Greetings again and thanks for your response!
The StarLink Router is a proprietary model (UTR-211) created by StarLink/SpaceX. It is manufactured in the USA by StarLink. The current version and firmware allows only minor modifications such as Bypass StarLink Wireless Router, Split 12.4 / 5 GHz Networks and Enable WPA3 Security. There is no means to enable DMZ and it does not automatically go into DMZ when the Starlink Router is placed in the Bypass Mode. When the wireless is activated the router is strictly DHCP which cannot be disabled. i.e. It is not possible to assign a Static IP Address on a MAC Address. As I understand it, when the Bypass StarLink Wireless Router function is enabled, Bridge Mode is enabled to the conencted Gateway. Since the Dish's IP Address 192.168.100.1 is outside the IP Address range of the Gateway, a Static Route must be added into the Orbi to allow pass-through of the dish's reporting, statistics and use of the phonr app.. Again, there is no issue with internet connection by simply plugging the StarLink's Ethernet cable into the Orbi's WAN (Internet) port. The issue stated in my original post is how to created the Static Route within Orbi's setting portal.
My terminology and understanding stated above may be incorrect but it conveys the general idea.
