Switched to Starlink as I live in remote are of Oregon. Works fine in my house but my garage can’t get signal. It is about 15 feet away. What can I do to boost signal so I can use it in my studio ...

Some satellite thing out of Star Wars?
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.
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.
That sounds easier if the two 70 yo woman without a lit if tech expertise. Is there a link you could share as to how to accomplish this.
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

You can attach it to the starlink and setup the Mesh setup in access point mode.

Would this work with the NightHawkAX1800?

There is no such thing as an AX1800.
AX1800 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Netgear has made about a half a dozen devices that have AX1800 wifi technology. MK69, RAX10 and RBS350, for example.

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?
One of the first ones. Has a port on back I could hook the NightHawk AX1800 into. Starlink finally responded and said to just replace the starlink router with the nighthawk one. I’ll try that.
Starlink finally answered my query. Said to disconnect the Starlink router and use the Nighthawk mesh router and all should work. My Starlink system was one of the first ones out so it does have a spot to plug in the Blackhawk direct to the router but I couldn’t figure out how to proceed to get them both in sync. Wish me luck. This to all!
