Did you try connecting the orbi to the starlink but put the orbi in access point mode? (have starlink in router mode)

Good point - I have not - I'll try that this evening. Does it matter which port I use on the Orbi, since one is labelled internet?

Oh jeez - I just noticed that I have the PPPoE username and password configured for the current ISP ...sigh. I'm going to reset that to not require a login and see if that allows me to connect in bridge mode, if not perhaps the switch will work this time.
Question on the port though. I have two available ports for the external connection:
- Internet port (2.5Gbps)
- WAN aggregation (2.5Gbps + 1 Gbps, LACP-IEEE802.3ad)
Does it matter which one I select?
