Trying to connect to Starlink Dish on different subnet
I have a Netgear Nighthawk RAX70 connected to the Starlink dish (instead of the provided router which, if I can get this working, isn't necessary.) Others have been successful using their own routers...
Looks like my screenshot from my last post didn't work so here's the info you need.
First, find your Gateway IP Address by clicking on the Advanced tab then click Advanced Home. On the right side of your window you will see "Internet Port". Scroll down to the IP Address. It will look similar to the following: 100.66.106.142
Create a Static Route with the following:
Give it a name such as: Starlink Dish
Destination IP Address: 192.168.100.0
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: (that you looked up)
Metric: 2 (if 2 doesn't work, try 3 or 5)
You're welcome!
Should anyone have this same problem, the screenshot of the static IP address configuration I created above should help you get your Starlink satellite dish set up so that you can access its webpage and view statistics and other tools. Fortunately, I was able to get some help from the Reddit community forum for Starlink satellite dish users. You would, of course, use your own Internet Port IP address as the Gateway IP Address. Mine is now working.

This will fail, as the Starlink dish periodically assigns a new IP to the router. When it does the static route will fail. Try using 0.0.0.0 for the gateway, not the actual IP. The Orbi I have won't allow 0.0.0.0 to be used so we are out of luck. Maybe this other Netgear hardware is different.
You're right. The IP address will change so we have to change it in the static route. No big deal. Using 0.0.0.0 will work but it's not an option on my router. I'm fine with changing it when necessary. I don't have to do it every day.
