Orbi RBR50 Compatibility with Starlink
I recently bought an Orbi RBS760 system and installed it behind Starlink. It works great. However, I tried connecting my old RBR50 Orbi system to my neighbor's Starlink and could not get the Orbi to connect to the internet. I looked around the web to see if there were compatibility issues but couldn't find anything. Does any have any ideas on what I should do to make this work? Or is it not compatible with Starlink? Thanks.

What is the intention? You could operate Starlink with it's built-in (limited) NAT router, or connect the Orbi WAN (in router mode) to Starlink in Bypass Mode - almost like connecting a typical Cable Modem.

Re: Orbi RBR50 Compatibility with Starlink
I did connect in bypass mode. I had wifi, but no connectivity to the internet. I had this system running for several years using Viasat as my ISP, with Viasat in bridge mode. Initially, I tried a shortcut by not bringing the Orbi router back to factory settings. After that didn't work, I did so, but ended up with the same result. So, I'm unsure if this older RBR50 isn't compatible or if there's an Orbi router setting that I need to alter.

Plain IP, pure simple DHCP on the WAN side - no PPPoE or the like encapsulation, no authentication, ...
