Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5400 and Starlink
I am trying to replace an original Starlink router with a Nighthawk AX5400 router. I have the original Starlink router with Ethernet and no bridging. I thought I could just replace the Starlink box ...

Starlink has its ways of doing things. A quick search around here might be useful.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – Starlink
As to the AX5400, which one? RAX##? RBK###?
AX5400 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.
With that information you can refine the search linked above.
As I mentioned in my original post I did search here before I posted. The threads I found all seemed to relate to the newer version of the Starink router which will bridge and require the Ethernet adapter. My Starlink router is the older version and does not bridge.
Nighthawk is an RAX54V2.
