Base LAN address changes when Starlink looses satellite connection
I have a Starlink connection with the router in bypass mode. I am using a Nighthawk as DNS and DHCP server for the network. I have a requirement of a LAN base address of 192.168.100.x with a couple o...
Something that can't be done on the NH router. It has to use something other than 192.168.100.x That's already in use by the ISP Internal service so it can't be used that's why. You have to run the NH router 192.168.1.x, 172.x or 10.0.1.x.
Contact the ISP and have them help you with this.
What worked on CC?
The 192.168.100 worked on Comcast. The problem with Comcast is the upload speeds are 300Kbs which makes teleconferencing impossible. This is a remote sight and satellite link is our only option. Starlink is awesome with average speeds 180Mbs download and 20Mbs upload but it can be intermittent at times. It might drop the internet connection for a minute or two, at which time the NH router would change the LAN from 192.168.100 to 192.168.1 and break our network.
The Starlink router is brain dead and cannot be configured to do anything different than change the SSID. Bulletproof for the home user but useless for anything else.
Using the same modem with CC?
I didn't need the NH router because the CC router was configurable and could handle fixed IP assignments.
That would be due to there design and having the modem and router built in on there modem would probably work then. Again, if you put there modem in to modem only mode, and use the NG router, the problem will re-appear as there modem also probably uses 192.168.100.1 for the modems web page services which can't be used by an external router.
Enjoy. đ
