Router drops connection with Starlink periodically, usually over night. When connected, settings are as in attached image; when not ipv4 becomes 169.254.39.76 and gateway 255.255.0.0. Reset button on router fixes this connects (ie, reverts to "working" configuration), but it is annoying to have to do this all the time, even recognizing Starlink is in beta testing. I am not sophisticated in WAN/LAN mgt, but I have been unable to find useful information or advice on this subject. If additional info is required, please prompt me. Thanks in advance.

I finally fixed this problem. I unplugged the Netgear RAX40 and bought a TP-Link AX6000, hooked it up and haven't had a problem for 96 hours! Seems the solution is to avoid Netgear equipment at all costs!
PS Even updating firmware to v...88 made the RAX40 buggier! Netgear, bad products, bad company. I'll never go back despite 20+ years of loyalty.

Re: Starlink and settings for AX4
I see that the 169.254.39.76 address may indicate a DHCP configuration issue, but if so, what do I need to change? Connecting cables are good.
