Sorry if this has been posted.....EX7300+Starlink Gen 2
Google found precious little if nothing applicable so may I ask for suggestions on setting up EX7300 with Starlink Gen 2. Obviously Starlink has no WPS so manual setup is required. BUT my Starlink ...

The starlink doesn't have security setup on it?
If it requires a wireless password to assess it, it either needs a wps button or you need that wifi password.
If it doesn't have a wifi password, its even easier to setup the extender.
You just use the installation assistant to set it up and not wps.

Thanks so much for responding, felt alone here đ
When I setup Starlink I did not establish a password.
We live in the middle of nowhere in the middle of nowhere. No one to
'steal' my signal anywhere near me for miles and miles.
So I didn't create a password and Starlink (which works a charm here) works fine for WiFi connection to the 'world', and
as mentioned earlier works fine except where where my desktop is. 2 bars. Thus the EX7300, just to boost the signal
a bit to the computer antenna.
I will use the Netgear setup wizard as you suggested this evening when I get home.
Thanks again.

Good luck! it should work pretty easily.
I'd still recommend setting up a wifi password. You might be pretty far from everyone but if your network is open and someone gets your banking info or downloads illegal photos, it could open you up to issues.
They're pretty easy to setup and you can keep it simple.
Basically the same as locking your front door. Not hard to do and enough to discourage the one's just looking for it.
