Starlink and Netgear Orbi RBK852/RBK853

I think a non managed 1Gb switch is all that is needed to make the starlink adapter work with the Orbi. The switch goes in between the adapter and RBR. Nothing else connected to the switch. NG GS-105 should work

Any progress on this?

Did the switch help?

Hi!

 

There are a lot of posts in 2022 about using any of Orbi Mesh WIFI products with Starlink, but they are all a bit vague and perhaps now out of date. 

 

My use case is that I have Starlink, but I want to use Netgear Orbi for my WIFI mesh. Ideally I'd also like Netgear to act as a router and only have to configure everything in one place. 

 

Please could someone confirm:

 

- Can you plug the Starlink Ethernet adapter (coming from the v2 rectangular starlink dish), directly into the Orbi? If so, how is this configured?

- If the above isn't correct...I've seen lots of people say the only way they got it working was to keep the Starlink router, put it in bypass mode and then stick a gigabit switch inbetween the Starlink router (bypass)  and the Orbi mesh router? Is that right? If this is true, was any configuration on the switch required, or just default plug-and-play?

 

The reason I'm posting this is, is that I'm due to get the Orbi mesh wifi devices this week and I need to ready to set it up as soon as it arrives. I also thought it would be useful to have a 2023 post addressing this common issue. 

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
