That fixed it! - un real - why did it ever work? Crazy technology - switch should not allow that option.
Thank you!

The VLAN10 configuration looks correct. The issue must be in the VLAN 1 configuration.
Have by accident defined the VLAN 1 on the same ports in use for the VLAN in use for the Starlink LAN? This would cause what is named an asymmetric VLAN config, but not supported on any Netgear switch, but not disallowed or warned on some of the Plus switches Web UI. This could cause the issue you describe. Some or all of the untagged frames end in the wrong VLAN, the some of the return traffic will flow in the wrong path.
A word on nomenclature: Starlink Modem? Something that does not exit in the Starlink marketing or support terms. Starlink Gen 2 and 3 have an Ethernet port (for SL Gen 1 require a proprietary Ethernet adapter), this is either configured as a NAT router (so with a DHCP server assigning private RFC1918 LAN IP addresses). Alternate config option (typically used on deployments with user supplied NAT routers or Mesh systems) is naming this as Bypass mode. Technically similar to a DSL modem.

What would you look at on the vlan 1 config?
- schumakuMay 12, 2024Guru - Experienced UserLook for one or more if the ports intended as Access ports for VLAN 10 are also marked as participating as [U]tagged on the VLAN 1 view.

OK i think you nailed it - i attached another pdf of config with what you suggested could be the issue.
I will test the change later today - i will let you know how it works out!
