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

Would you mind sending a screenshot of the internet setup page for your router? I'm also on Starlink using a mesh Orbi router and I have tried the same settings and can't get it to work, it keeps telling me that it's not a valid IP.

Hoping you have found a solid work around.

Hopefully this works for you. First shot is the Advanced home:Advanced
Second is the static route I set (Advanced -> Advanced Settings -> Static Routes:
Static Route to DishyJust repalce the Gateway IP Address with the one in the Internet Port -> IP Address and you should be golden. Note, if Dishy reboots the route will likely be broken as your IP address changed. Just Edit the route with the new IP, Apply, and bingo.
I can't tell if my pics actually worked, here they are on imgur.

Thanks so much! Starlink App is now up and running. Much appreciated!

My pleasure. I originally posted this thread to see if there was a way for us NOT to have to keep an eye on a shifting IP address, but it seems like the people in the know just hold firm to:
1. You don't even need to do it, it should work without it
2. The other routers that allow 0.0.0.0 as the route gateway IP are not following standards
3. What you're asking can't be done
:::Shrug::: This way works every single time on every single Orbi, so I don't know what to tell them. Without it we can't hit the stats via the phone app or website, this way we can. :::Shrug:::
