Orbi 6e cannot connect to Starlink
Well I wasn't able to get the Orbi 960 to get an Internet connection with Starlink V2, using the Starlink Ethernet adapter, so have filed a trouble ticket with Netgear. The unit is getting an IP addr...
- I just purchased the orbi 6e and tried to get ot to work with my starlink gen2 and had the same exact issue. After spending three nights on the phone with netgear tech support for 3-4 hours each time and them escalating it then escalating it again to their engineering department I was given no time frame for a fix. After much research online and trying everything I could find I decided to try a netgear gs108t switch. I plugged the switch in directly from the starlink ethernet adapter then the orbi 6e into that and it works perfect. Netgear definitely has an issue with the orbi working with starlink directly but this was the only work around I could get to work.
Ok, NG has said that since this is a StarLink issue, try setting a static route on the RBR for 192.168.100.1
Also need to ensure that the ip address for the Starlink is not on the same network as their other devices. Since the Starlink address will not change then in some cases they will need to change the third octet of their current dhcp server.
Let us know if this works.
