Setting Static Route for Starlink
I live in a rural rea and just installed Starlink (yay), but seem to be having a problem setting the static route needed to access Dishy's statistics pages. Setup below: ATT LTE ...
I removed the LB2120 from the equation and the static route worked right away:
IP: 192.168.100.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The IP assigned to the Orbi by the ISP
Metric: 2

If the Starlink local admin IP can be pinged but the other comunication does not come up this must have a different cause.

This is the default gateway either way - no need for a static route, assuming 192.168.100.0/24 does not exist on the LAN, this RFC1918 private subnet address is considered outside.
My initial post should have read "cannot" be pinged, apologies.
It is a small PITA to have to touch the route if my ISP assigned IP changes, but it only take a second to adjust. With the route I can ping Dishy, access Dishy's stats and debug pages via local browser and the Starlink app. Without the route, or with the route set to the wrong gateway IP, I cannot do either. Traceroute doesn't work in either case.
It would be great to either not have the route or set up a way to handle the dynamic IP address.
