Starlink rectangle dish with a Ethernet adapter works with earlier Orbi products

Something I got from NG support. Would be interesting to know if the suggestion worked.
I would contact StarLink and see if there modems are compatible with external routers.
Ask if there is any special configurations, i.e. DHCP or PPPoE or VLAN configurations that are needed.
For ISP modems with built in routers:

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Thanks for the accurate GENERAL info. What I need is specific help with Starlink. Starlink is not able to be configured in the way you have suggested.
