Starlink

[MCDCompany]

I have starlink now and am trying to connect to the Nighthawk M60 and not having any luck.  Any suggestions?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

I saw some posts regarding a startlink to ethernet adapter that was something that some needed. Something to contact Startlink about. 

Modem Combo Units:
If your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...

Tell us more.

M60? Is that the MR60 Mesh system?

Starlink what? An Internet Service Provider gave you a piece of hardware to connect to the Internet? What is it

Did you move from a different Internet service? If so reset the MR60 and set it up from scratch.

Starlink tends to give you a modem/router combo device that lets you access the internet. 

You should be able to hardwire the MK60 system into it and put the MK system in access point mode. 

Just make sure to have the MK system on a different wireless channel than the starlink to prevent interference.

Or tell us what the modem/router is and someone may be able to suggest how to put it into modem only (bridge) mode.

In that way you can retain the useful features of the expensive MK system that don't work in AP mode.
