Orbi 6 RBR750 - connect to Starlink
I recently (finally) received my Starlink internet (the newer, rectangle dish). I have the ethernet adapter and have tried to get my Orbi 6 router to acquire an IP address from the Starlink system with no success. I have tried both standard and bypass mode with the Starlink router - Orbi cannot acquire an IP on the "internet" port in either configuration. I know that the Starlink system is correctly passing IPs because 1) if I connect my computer directly (via ethernet) to Starlink the computer gets an IP and has internet access and 2) if I connect Starlink to my network switch, other devices get an IP.
So - what is the trick to get Orbi to acquire an IP? Anyone have success with this?

Install a 1Gb LAN switch in between the Start Link adapter and the RBR from what others say.
Try a NG GS-105 non managed switch:
- I was able to setup the orbi router via a wired connection and signing into it on 10.0.0.1. Not sure if anything else need to be done besides the initial setup to get it to work, but it seems to be working for me in it's current state.
