Starlink rectangle dish with a Ethernet adapter works with earlier Orbi products
Any luck with this? My Starlink rectangle dish with a Ethernet adapter works with earlier Orbi products, but not the 960. Should I return the 960’s or is there a solution?

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.

I boxed the unit for a return (having 8 hours into this is enough). I unboxed and tried the static IP. No luck. Returning to Netgear. Bummer it does not support Starlink, since its older Orbi's work great.
I am back to my Orbi RBR20 and Starlink which works great, with no special set-up.
This is a Netgear issue. I will look for a different brand because I need better company support (this forum has been helpful, not the company) and it should be easer.

Could you be more specific about how the 960 "does not work" with Starlink?
These folks seem fairly pleased with the Starlink Ethernet adapter:

Sure. I am using the Starlink ethernet adapter for the rectangle dish (V2) - works fine -n both regular Starlink with WiFi on and in and in bypass mode with the Starlink WiFi off.
The same Starlink ethernet adapter works fine with Orbi RBR20 - in both regular Starlink with WiFi on and in and in bypass mode with the Starlink WiFi off.
The 960 does not get internet access from Starlink, in any configuration I have tried. That's what I mean by "does not work".
BTY, I tried using the same Orbi 960 with my ViaSat modem, and that worked well. The 960 refuses to see any internet from Starlink V2.

Bummer. Having long since passed my 90 days of "complimentary support" (by over five years), I like to hear about the experiences of customers who are able to contact Netgear support.

It’s a stupid hack - but one that Netgear had me try when I first got my 960 last Nov with AT&T.
I put a 4 port switch in between the starlink router and the Orbi 960 router. Boom. All of a sudden it sees the internet.
Worked 8 months ago with AT&T - Then netgear sent me beta code to install and I was able to remove the switch - now that I switch to Starlink I saw the same thing. - so putting the switch back solved my issue.
I would Ike to now put the starlink in bypass mode and eliminate the double NAT - but for now everything is working and I don’t want to mess it up.,
