Orbi RB50 connecting to Starlink
Hoping someone can help. I currently have Orbi RB50 with 3 satellites hooked up to my Comcast DSL. We just got Starlink and I have an Ethernet port with the Starlink. Can I just unplug the Orbi from the Comcast modem and plug into Orbi modem or do I need to do a complete reset of the Orbi? I am obviously a non-technical person so I apologize in advance.
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer

Are you leaving the starlink router in router mode? If so, just put the orbi in access point mode.
Or you can direct wire it. You'll end up in a double nat. Usually not much of an issue but some services have issues with double nat (what putting it in AP mode fixes)
Thank you. How do I put orbi in access point mode. Do I need to reset orbi prior to hooking up with starlink?
If you're using access point mode, you shouldn't need a reset as AP mode disables a lot of services that do traffic inspection.
