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.

Something that ISP needs to work on then.

Ok, NG has said that since this is a StarLink issue, try setting a static route on the RBR for 192.168.100.1
Also need to ensure that the ip address for the Starlink is not on the same network as their other devices. Since the Starlink address will not change then in some cases they will need to change the third octet of their current dhcp server.
Let us know if this works.

I boxed the unit for a return (having 8 hours into this is enough). I unboxed and tried the static IP. No luck. Returning to Netgear. Bummer it does not support Starlink, since its older Orbi's work great.
I am back to my Orbi RBR20 and Starlink which works great, with no special set-up.
This is a Netgear issue. I will look for a different brand because I need better company support (this forum has been helpful, not the company) and it should be easer.
