Orbi RBK 750 Static Route to Modem UI, Starlink
I connected an RBK750 router to my Starlink dish directly, which means I replaced the Starlink router. The Starlink dish has an internal IP address 192.168.100.1 with statistical data that I want to...
The ISP is Starlink and the modem is their dish. I already skipped the Starlink router and connected the RBK750 directly. Works all fine. I only want to have a static route from my network to the modem's statistic page.
I found out that it works when I use the to public IP address assigned by the ISP as Gateway IP address instead of the internal router address 10.0.0.1.
On other routers, I would try 0.0.0.0 as the gateway, but the RBK750 refuses to use this address ("invalid gateway address").

Unfortunately, it works only until a new public IP iss assigned by the ISP. So this is not a solution.
I am also trying to hook up my Orbi to Starlink to access the stats on the app. Where do I find the public IP address assigned by Starlink to use as the Gateway IP address? Is it Basic/Internet/Internet IP address/Gateway IP Address ?
Yes, it is a workable solution. The main problem is that any time the Starlink dish is reset or unplugged from power, the IP address changes. All that is needed to fix this is to login to your Orbi router then find and replace the old IP address with the current one. Here's a step by step method to do that works perfectly using my Orbi RBR50:

Thanks for posting this. Hope this is helpful for StartLink users.

For sure this works, but it is not really comfortable to do it every time the public IP changes.
I solved it by installing an ethernet only router (Ubiquiti) between the Starlink modem and the RBR750. The RBR750 is working in AP mode now.Agreed, this is not a good solution.
