Netgear Nighthawk M6 (oder M6 Pro) mit Starlink

[thomasskoeln]

Hi, I wood like to connect an Nighthawk M6 (or M6 Pro) with my Starlink Gen. 2 Dish without the original Starlink Router within my Motorhome. I already have an PoE injektor and with my Froitzbox 6890 LTE it works at the WAN connection in fallback modus. Question: is it possible to change the Fritzbox with an Nighthawk M6 and use the M6 LAN Port as an WAN Port and when Starlink isn´t connected (or don´t have an internet signal) the 5G (orLTE) network is automaticaly used as fallback option?

Yes, you can connect a Netgear Nighthawk M6 (or M6 Pro) to your Starlink Gen. 2 Dish without using the original Starlink router in your motorhome setup. To achieve this, you can use the PoE injector to power the Starlink Dish and connect it to the Nighthawk M6's LAN port, configuring it to act as a WAN port. This setup allows the Nighthawk M6 to use the Starlink connection primarily. When Starlink is not available or lacks an internet signal, the Nighthawk M6 can automatically switch to its 5G or LTE network as a fallback option, ensuring continuous internet connectivity. This configuration is similar to how you used your Fritzbox 6890 LTE, but with the added benefit of the Nighthawk M6's advanced features and mobile connectivity.
