Setting Static Route for Starlink
I live in a rural rea and just installed Starlink (yay), but seem to be having a problem setting the static route needed to access Dishy's statistics pages. Setup below: ATT LTE ...
I removed the LB2120 from the equation and the static route worked right away:
IP: 192.168.100.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The IP assigned to the Orbi by the ISP
Metric: 2
The issue is that plenty of outher routers *do* set a static route to 192.168.100.1 so they can see the statistics and debug pages as well as allow the Starlink app to access the same.
The problem is that I have not seen a single Orbi/Orbi Pro report that it is working, so it is something in the way the Orbi handles/allows the settings.

If the Starlink local admin IP can be pinged but the other comunication does not come up this must have a different cause.

This is the default gateway either way - no need for a static route, assuming 192.168.100.0/24 does not exist on the LAN, this RFC1918 private subnet address is considered outside.
My initial post should have read "cannot" be pinged, apologies.
It is a small PITA to have to touch the route if my ISP assigned IP changes, but it only take a second to adjust. With the route I can ping Dishy, access Dishy's stats and debug pages via local browser and the Starlink app. Without the route, or with the route set to the wrong gateway IP, I cannot do either. Traceroute doesn't work in either case.
It would be great to either not have the route or set up a way to handle the dynamic IP address.
Would you mind sending a screenshot of the internet setup page for your router? I'm also on Starlink using a mesh Orbi router and I have tried the same settings and can't get it to work, it keeps telling me that it's not a valid IP.
- Need to send 3 screenshots from Starlink App Support / Settings and WiFi
1 of 3 - 2 of 3
- 3 of 3
Hoping you have found a solid work around.Hopefully this works for you. First shot is the Advanced home:Advanced
Second is the static route I set (Advanced -> Advanced Settings -> Static Routes:
Static Route to DishyJust repalce the Gateway IP Address with the one in the Internet Port -> IP Address and you should be golden. Note, if Dishy reboots the route will likely be broken as your IP address changed. Just Edit the route with the new IP, Apply, and bingo.
I can't tell if my pics actually worked, here they are on imgur.
