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.
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.,
