As plemans says, no reason why the Nighthawk mesh system – which one? – shouldn't work with it.
That sounds easier if the two 70 yo womanYouth! Streets ahead of you.

You have a couple options that I'd recommend trying.
1. (what I'd consider the best) is to run an ethernet wire between the 2 and use a mesh system so the satellite is in the garage and hardwired in.
2. If you get full service in the window, you could use a mesh system and put a satellite in that window to use.
3. you could try putting a wireless extender in the window of the garage. I'm partial to the triband extenders as they have a dedicated backhaul between router----extender.

Brendajackson12 might like to consider option 4, if the mains circuit accepts it, is Powerline Ethernet.
If the garage is on the same mains circuit as the house, and doesn't have a separate electrical circuit with lots of fuse boxes and isolators, you can turn the main into a fake LAN connection.
But option 1 beats everything else.

I have. Nighthawk mesh system that I used with last IP but can’t figure out how to attach to Starlink modem. I just need simple if that is possible. Thank you- plemansApr 10, 2023Guru - Experienced User
You can attach it to the starlink and setup the Mesh setup in access point mode.

Would this work with the NightHawkAX1800?

How many months ago did you purchase your Starlink system? It will help tell which model you have. Starlink recently released a new model.
Could you take a digital picture of your Starlink modem and attach it to a message reply?
