Starlink rectangle dish with a Ethernet adapter works with earlier Orbi products
Any luck with this? My Starlink rectangle dish with a Ethernet adapter works with earlier Orbi products, but not the 960. Should I return the 960’s or is there a solution? What newer Orbi’s work w...
Something I got from NG support. Would be interesting to know if the suggestion worked.

Could you be more specific about how the 960 "does not work" with Starlink?
These folks seem fairly pleased with the Starlink Ethernet adapter:

There's a article about setting up Asus routers for Bypass mode with Starlink:
Sure. I am using the Starlink ethernet adapter for the rectangle dish (V2) - works fine -n both regular Starlink with WiFi on and in and in bypass mode with the Starlink WiFi off.
The same Starlink ethernet adapter works fine with Orbi RBR20 - in both regular Starlink with WiFi on and in and in bypass mode with the Starlink WiFi off.
The 960 does not get internet access from Starlink, in any configuration I have tried. That's what I mean by "does not work".
BTY, I tried using the same Orbi 960 with my ViaSat modem, and that worked well. The 960 refuses to see any internet from Starlink V2.
It’s a stupid hack - but one that Netgear had me try when I first got my 960 last Nov with AT&T.
I put a 4 port switch in between the starlink router and the Orbi 960 router. Boom. All of a sudden it sees the internet.
Worked 8 months ago with AT&T - Then netgear sent me beta code to install and I was able to remove the switch - now that I switch to Starlink I saw the same thing. - so putting the switch back solved my issue.
I would Ike to now put the starlink in bypass mode and eliminate the double NAT - but for now everything is working and I don’t want to mess it up.,
