My starlink first gen router does not have the option to disable the wifi likes yours does …. And if I plug my own router into the power
Box I get internet but still can’t open ports with the original starlink router completely off. I am trying to run a private game server for me and my family but I suck at networking and need ports opened or a way for everyone in my house to connect without opening ports via the router plz help !!
can I use my star link to extend my into different houses and manage the internet speed using a WLAN
I bought the AX6000, it all seems to work with the router but my computer says it is not connected to the internet through my Star link. Does the Starlink Router need rot be turned off to use the tp-link AX6000? My Apple router works just fine.
After three tries with the bypass had to reset to factory. My speeds dropped dramatically, to 8mbps to 10 mbps. What adjustments can I look at to maybe correct the issue. Thanks.
16 mins in you haven't shown me how to do what I want. I quit.
be aware of which type of network that the device is compatible with. Case in point I just installed MYQ devices in my garage to operate my 2 overhead doors and I had to reprogram my ADT alarm panel when I switched from DSL to Starlink. Neither Device is compatible with 5GHZ Only 2.4GHZ WIfI and the devices in the garage do not play nice with the range extender so I am hoping when my router arrives tomorrow that it throws out a good WIFI signal because the Starlink router is way too weak to reach the garage. I am not sure what I will do if that is not the case as mesh networks jus tend up extending the signal and extenders don't work with these devices.
You might want a Router to remove WIFI, if you get tinnitus because of WIFI signal. Here is another reason why you might want another Router.
I unplugged my starlink router altogether, why bypass it when you can remove it and plug the new router in? Am I missing something? I’ve used no starlink router for over a year with no issue just have a ASUS router plugged into the cat5/6 cable.
Star link uses a Carrier Grade NAT so manual port forwarding is out of the question no matter which router you use
I watch tons of reviews before investing in starlink... not 1 told me about this
Just came across this. Question if you don’t mind. Ive a Starlink dish power supply directly connected to Ubiquity router instead of also using the Starlink router as a bridge. Is there s benefit of having the Starlink router in the chsin? Thank you.
Only if you want to go to 192.168.100.1
@@jcristina Ah. Thanks. Another missing puzzle piece. Was wondering why the antenna didn't respond to ...100.1. Guess that's in the bridge. May set it up that way, then only use it for "maintenance." Don't need another thing that sucks up power and add latency. Appreciate the explanation. 🙂
oh, and PLEASE - "5 Ghz speed" is not "5G" and could cause confusions to many users of both
9:13 just time stamping for myself
🍵👍🏻
Been using a 3rd party router, however when starlink internet goes down. I feel frustrating asking for their support as they wont help since im in bypass mode.
Then how to show my bill if I cant access anymore to SL App?
Why in the world wouldn’t they just allow you to select the adapter as an add on in the same order as the Starlink device?
Great stuff and thanks for sharing. However, you should point out that Wifi routers operator on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. So it's NOT really 5G but 5 GHz frequency band. While the data rates are higher on the 5 GHz compared to the 2.4 GHz band, it's not accurate to call it 5G. Love the videos and keep posting !!!!
Thank you so much Dirk!!
can i connect a TP-LINK TL-R605 V2 Router to starlink without clicking the bypass starlink wifi router, in order to have both the router for ethernet connections and accesspoints and the wifi from the starlink?
yes
I just purchased a Tp-link Archer AX11000 Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router will this work well with my Starlink
Absolutely.
I just received my Starlink
Got it working
On Wi-Fi great
But I have several different Devices that plug into my router that will no longer work once I terminate that service
I need my security cameras to work that box plugs in
My gates garage doors and some lights working on a lift master that plugged into the router
I did purchase the extra earth link
But do not know how to use it

How To Fix Most Current Starlink Issues
ruclips.net/video/CLF9UnzXoi0/видео.html
I have Tp Link Archer AX11000 Router, If I replace Starlink Router, will it make a difference?
If you are in need of QoS or alike. Sure it will. You will have more functionality.
JC what if i will cut the ethernet adapter replaced the cat6 rj45 plug in to POE adapter. my worries is the pinning of the starlink can you help me
As long as the colors are the same on both sides of the wire, it will not matter.
Love your videos! So.. A question: You alluded to a way to set a static route so that a person could access their Starlink router that was in bypass mode... But you didn't tell us how! Pretty please?
Writing it down for a further video.
You gave the ip and subnet, what about the gateway?
I have an Arris SBG8300, it has a coax input and also 4 eithernet ports put no LAN ports. Can I use one of the other eithernet ports for input or do I need to get a coax-cat5 adapter? Thank you in advance.
Coax to Ethernet should provide you with CaT ports. 🤷🏻♂️
Im doing cause I get better range with my ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro
Great router!
Hello JC, you produce some great videos. However I have a couple of questions. 1: Why have two Omada Cloud Controllers? One with two ports, the other with eight ports? Very Confusing... 2: I have a TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router with four Ethernet outlets, why would I want 8 outlets when my wifi router can handle 6+ devices... I will never have more than 10 devices. Thanks for your response in advance. Keep up the great job. Yes, I am also a Tea Drinker .... Hate Coffee...
Hello could someone please help and answer a dumb question for me! I just received my Starlink and getting ready to install. I currently do not have any internet service so I was wondering if I can put the router anywhere in my home or does it need to be in a specific spot? I hope that makes sense and again a response would be appreciated thanks in advance
Centralized is ideal for WiFi distance but it’s not imperative.
Do I have to bypass the starlink router in order to use my own router for my cameras, or can I use both routers simultaneously and just use different names and passwords for the two?
I just received my starlink today and haven't connected it yet.
My whole purpose for asking is for use of my security cameras around my property
managed switch vs hub
I am planning to add the AX router , this means that i need to take down my other 2 wifi extender for the AX to work better? the aps are kinda old
The network is only as fast as the slowest link.
Can you leave the Starlink router wifi on while having a different wifi router hooked up to it? So you can use both?
Yep. Just be careful of double nat.
Why did my AX router have terrible speeds? Do I need to reset the router with a paper clip ??? Thanks
Resetting the unit can help. Also check to make sure you are using the latest drivers.
Does starlink provide a NAT or public IP?
CGNAT so if you need a Static IP or do Port Forwarding I use jcristina.com/vpn
Hello, I am having continual network issues. Disconnects, reboots on my starlink. I am in bypass mode and now get messages that starlink needs access to my network. Do you think I am hacked? Or is this normal. Thks
I would do a factory reset on the unit. Let it do any updates it needs to a leave it out of bypass for a day or so to test to see if the problem continues. If it does you may need to have SpaceX send you new hardware.
@@jcristina Thank you
Not sure why showing the setup takes 19 minutes. It should be less than 1 minute for this video
I love to hear myself speak, Casper.. Along with ADD and chasing butterflies.. I know there are meds for that but I figure you can just jump to the next video.
Starlink Gen 1 does not allow you to disable wifi. No option available.
Correct but you can use a third-party router and configure it for an alternative network. 👍🏻🍵
Great video I would like to see u setup static IP for devices through a router and also show us how to get up qos for devices in your setup to control prioritize devices thanks and continue with your good video please do a bunch of starlink videos.I have been waiting for my Ethernet adapter for almost a month now and my short wall mount thanks so much
Hope you receive it soon.
I'm waiting for my Ethernet adapter so I can use my Netgear XR450 gaming router it's super aggressive when it comes to QOS and it's has Geo Filtering.
Are euro wifi routers good ? That's what I have to help get internet connection from router to the other side of the house to our bedrooms
They will certainly do the job.
Mr. Cristina: I could not find the posting (the video) where you were commenting on 'warm or hot' cables in/on the (SL) Starlink system. (When the heater was turned on.) In any case, perhaps you will be able to peruse this update. I have contacted Starling CS (Customer Service) and (in some detail) described my cables and the temperature of them. My cables are NOT hot (whatever hot indicates) but they are warm. I clearly elucidated this situation (to Starlink CS) and asked if there were going to remotely change users 'heating duty cycle,' or whether replacement cables would be issued. USUALLY, when I ask Starling CS a question, they promptly respond: so far it's been 2 weeks with no response. (SL has gone silent) I wonder what's going on. Oh yes, in my location, temperatures can fall to -40 f and we can get 24" of snow in a single snowfall - my point: my Starlink dish needs to be on and melting snow - this is not an option, as opposed to 'other' users who see 1" of snow and 32-degree temps. I NEED, or if you wish, Starlink users in some remote locations NEED the heater - we need it to work and be reliable. Ok, well just wondered if you had heard anything in terms of Starlink upgrading their cables to a heavier gauge and or if they were remotely changing the duty cycle of the heating process. (You must have a technical/engineering background, as changing the duty cycle is a definite easy fix to hot cables.) As always, great videos: are informative and valuable. Thank you.
With the gen 1 (round dish) I have the aux but there is no bi-pass in the app. The app is updated to the latest. Can I just plug the white cable into my router and leave the Starlink out of the loop?
Absolutely.
Hi J. Ive upgraded to the TPLINK-SG108E from a previous TPLINK-SF1008D switch because it couldnt handle more than 100mbps. I am connecting Starlink ethernet directly to TPLINK-SG108E then using cat5 ethernet to the multiple router networks. Previously I was getting around 80 MBPS and after upgrading to the new TPLINK-SG108E I am getting close 30MBPS. So, for some reason I am getting lower speed in all of the different routers. Do you know why this is? I appreciate all of your help
Hi, can use other router rather than TP LINK?
Do my Starlink Mesh Routers connect to the new router network?
Starlink will content to Starlink
I have an issue. my starlink router just quit working. I am not able to bypass starlink router because I can't connect to it is there any kind of work around I can do. I'm trying to use a different router for now until they send me a new one
If it’s the router and not the modem in the dish you should be able to use a third party router in bridge mode and an access point. Best case. If it’s stuck due to the failure, then you will need to wait for the replacement. Sadly.
Thanks
Yes working pretty good overall. I have noticed they are throttling at times. I do a test say with Gloudflare server and it hits 230mbps down. Do another a few seconds later and it pegs at 150 mbps . Jumps right up there and comes back to the 150 mbps. Still slows down during the evening, but still running a whole lot better than my last set up. ..Hopefully as they get more units up in space things will get even better.. Thanks, Randy
Tech short description; Starlink router (+Eth adapter if Gen2) is still required. The app provides the option for IP-Passthrough.
I received my Starlink and found that the range is quite terrible. It does not reach my whole house; actually only extends just beyond the room it is in. I am thinking the solution is a switch mesh network. Wondering if you have recommendations.
I did an entire video on an affordable switch system. Check out my Starlink playlist. 🍵🍵🍵👍🏻
@@jcristina I just started following and will check it out.
if you buy your own router can other people still connect to star links router
You can install is two ways. Place Starlink into by-pass mode and use the third party router in as primary or place the third party into AP mode and leave everything alone with the Starlink router.
Will the star link router work if I take it with me to the Philippines?
Great question.. My understand is: now that roaming is turned on, you should be able to get service anywhere, albeit you will need to pay $25.00 extra a month.
Will adding my own router give me a wider range of coverage?
Absolutely.
I got my starlink yesterday. Its 200 times faster than my old internet owo
Congrats.
@@jcristina thx
question, could i use a router from spectrum?
Not sure. But I would guess no.
Why aren't you plugging directly into your own router without using the Starlink router? I have been running Starlink since beta (Nov-2020) and have never used the Starlink router for more than a couple of minutes during initial setup. Has something changed with Gen2?
Would it work if instead of your recommended setup (Starlink>TP Link Router>Managed switch), I use (Starlink>Managed Switch>Tp link Router)? I would like to be able to manage the network before it goes to the router and devices are able to connect through Wifi.
I'm not having any luck adding an ExpressVpn router to my starlink. Have tried bypass mode on SL router without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Only thing I wish you would have shown is the latency differences. It seems the starlink router has a large variation of latency going from 27 to 39 in your testing, while the tp link stays around the same 23 to 24. For people that are gaming the latency will matter much more than just raw speed. I also notice that starlink speeds vary a lot even within short time frames, potentially making the internet speed being slower on the tp link just unlucky timing. Great video and I hope to see more videos like this!
My Ethernet adapter was here in 3 days BTW
Awesome.
Hey. Thank for this. I trying an tplink archer ax50. Isn’t working. Do you know why? Also can we connect it to a google Wi-Fi?
What about gaming, I play nba 2k and keep lagging and getting kicked
Satellite internet needs sometime before the latency and jitter are up to FPS game, etc.
@@jcristina are you going to run a review on how to lower that latency and show game footage? Just looking to see where I’m going wrong here, I just got a 3rd party router and not noticing much change
I have my Eero Mesh router conntected to the Starlink Gen2 router via ethernet adapter but HAVE NOT bypassed the Starlink router. I just put it in the garage near the dish with cat 5 to the house for the Eero and not seeing an issue. Is that a problem?
I’m confused. You talk about putting the SL gen2 in pass through mode and not being able to access it. I put mine in pass through mode and the SL app could still see the SL router. The only difference was there was no device list and the advanced speed test was not available. Perhaps things have changed recently.
I’ve been looking at getting Starlink I have a very nice gigabit ASUS gaming router and also use my WiFi through this ASUS router would this work with Starlink? I currently have AT&T cellular service I get like 80 to 110 ping and 8 to 16 gb down and 5 up and I’m paying $180 per month
I have a friend living in rural Ohio. Over a year ago he put down a deposit. Still nothing. about two weeks back he got an email saying it will even later. Is there a hack where he can gain access at this point?
Dude..Your the shit.... Thank you... Subbed and thumbed...
Blessings
Had me so confused using the 5G term. Then I realized you are conflating Fifth generation cell service with five GHz wifi signals. Very different. 5G cell operates on various frequencies and has little in common with wifi protocols. Thanks mucho for all the rest, just a significant point of confusion that could be avoided.
Thanks for being here.
I have a gen 1 starlink router which does not have the bypass router option. Is there a way to completely eliminate the starlink router and go directly to my tp-link AX5400 archer ax73? Thanks
Joseph,
I finely received my Starlink Version 2.0 after waiting 14 months and as soon as I arrived I installed it right then and there I was not going to wait another day to get it up and running after waiting 14 months. I had ordered the Ethernet adapter at the same time that I finalized my Starlink order and it was on back order. My old ISP was Frontier DSL and to say that it was slow would be a bit of an understatement, (Smoke Signals would have been faster). On a good day I might get 4Mbps down and 300Kpbs up it would literally take over an hour to upload a short video to RUclips.
I got the Starlink up and running in my work shop where I installed it due the workshop roof being the only location on our property that has a clear enough view of the sky. (The Starlink Visibility
Screen is showing zero obstructions 100 % BLUE SKY with 0% RED). I have a boat load of Linksys WRT54GL 54 Mbps Wireless-G WiFi Routers left over from the old days and had set up a CAT5e LAN from our house to my workshop and then on to our pole barn. The main WRT54GL was configured as a router and the remaining two were configured as access points. It worked well for years at the slow speed of the Frontier DSL. We live out in the sticks and our cell service is just about as bad as the Frontier DSL so we use WiFi calling, so when I setup the Linksys LAN I configured the main router and access points with deferent IP address but the same SSID's and the same Password's to make the transition for our cell phones when using WiFi calling from the router to access points and from access point to access point much smoother and it worked very well even with the slow Frontier DSL. As you can guess Linksys WRT54GL's were not going to cut it with the faster speeds that Starlink can deliver.
After I received the Ethernet adapter I had to move the Linksys WRT54GL Router that was in the house where the Frontier DSL Modem/Router was located out to the workshop and the access point that was in the workshop to the house, after I got everything reconnected and working I connected the Starlink router to the WAN port of the WRT54GL Router in the workshop and it worked but the best sped that I could get over the 2.4 GHz was about 16 Mbps down and less than 10 up. Even going Ethernet from the Router in the workshop to my computer delivered around 45-50 Mbps down and 15-25 up, and the same on the computer in the house, so at this point I knew that I had to bite the bullet and get faster Routers/Access points.
I looked at the newer line of Linksys Router and the reviews on the ones that were in our price range were not very good. My wife and I are retired and on a fixed income so price was a big factor in our buying new routers, everything that I was seeing was far out of our price range and that is when I found your video. "How To Setup Your Own SpaceX Starlink Link Router Alternative" and look at the TP-Link AC Router. At the time it was listed for $59.99 so we went to order 4 of them 3 to use and one as a backup I like to have a backup on hand, there was limit of only two per customer so I ordered two and MY wife order two. The very next day after we ordered them the price went from $59.99 to $54.99 and now it is $53.99, (Like I always say if you want a good deal on something just wait till after I buy it and it will go on sale.)
After receiving the TP-Link AC Routers, I spent the next few day getting familiar with them and learning how to configure them as Routers and as Access Points. I have a large roll around table that I built years ago. I set all 4 of them up on the table so I could configure them. The first one I configure as the router and the remaining 3 as Access Points. Again like the Linksys LAN
I configure them with deferent IP address but could not use the same SSID with all four sitting on the table as I would not be able to tell one from the other so I had to give each one its own unique SSID that reflected which unit it was and Wireless bands. I used HOUSE 1_2.4GHz on the Router, HOUSE 2_2.4GHz for access point #1, HOUSE 3_2.4GHz for access point #2, and HOUSE 4_2.4GHz for access point #3 as the temporary 2.4 GHz SSID's.
And for the 5 GHz I used HOUSE 1_5GHz on the Router, HOUSE 2_5GHz for access point #1, HOUSE 3_5GHz for access point #2, and HOUSE 4_5GHz for access point #3 as the temporary 5 GHz SSID's. Once I had all of the units in there finial locations all of the 2.4 GHz SSID's were changed to HOUSE_2.4GHz, and all of the 5GHz SSID's were changed to HOUSE_5GHz so it would still be possible to tell the 2.4 GHz from the 5GHz.
I sequentially replaced all of the Linksys Routers with the TP-Link AC Routers and everything worked, I have had the new TP-Link LAN up and running for just under a week and I am very happy with how it is working and I wanted to say Thank You for producing the video "How To Setup Your Own SpaceX Starlink Link Router Alternative" thank you it help a lot and it saved us a lot of money.
I’m so glad that my videos helped you. I truly appreciate the positive feedback!! Many blessing to you and your family.
For the first gen replacement … is the router/gateway supposed to have a static IP? Which IP should it be? Getting rid of the default router completely.
Starlink will still assign a “internet” facing IP to the third party router. BUT. The IP remaining the same until reboot “for the most part”
Can you just use a POE injector and not use their router at all?
Yes
@@jcristina Do you have info on that?Thanks for the reply.
what is the best TP link for gaming with starlink?
Check out the TPLink link at the top of the description of this video or the pinned comment.
Ty I was looking for tp link Archer
If I want to use a mesh network (deco xe75) does the first Deco acts as the router or do I need an extra router inbetween the Starlink and the first Deco mesh?
question:- does changing the router allow for making a static ip for port forwarding or is it still cgnat and dynamic? thanks btw getting good info from a range of your vids
The StarLink router has POE, if you're not using it, how do you get power to the dish?
Thanks...👍🤠
If you do not have cell phone coverage, but have satellite internet "still", is there another way to setup Starlink?
I am thinking Skype maybe. Does the use of a smart phone need to be connected to a phone signal?
There is no cell phone coverage here.
I presume that disabling the Starlink router will not use any connected Starlink mesh units?
So today I will get my Starlink gen 2. I have a RT-AX82U ASUS router. Great router. I will not get my ethernet device from Starlink until the end of the month. My question is this. Would putting my router into Bridge Mode work with the Starlink router. Or should I just wait for the ethernet device ? I need at least one ethernet cable for my internet phone system. Ooma gen 2. Everything else I could go wifi, although like you I do like wired to my computer. Just some questions. Your video explains it very well. Thank, Randy
it should be better than my current 5-7 down and .9 - 1.9 up. Hope it stops raining so I can find an orientation.
I live less than a mile from the first ground station in the world and the first place where beta began. I barely get 40mbps. I've seen it spike to 80 every once in a blue moon for a second but it's fairly stable at 40 and 50ms latency. Dish is on the roof and unobstructed. Anything that anybody else did to improve it? Using GT AX-11000 as well. App is working.
Can I use the Starlink router and an external router at the same time via a cat8 cable, feeding the other router to exchange my area and range
I have my Starlink ordered and it should arrive in a week based on my neighbors experience recently. My question is can you configure more then one Ethernet connection from the Starlink router without switching routers? I would like to have Ethernet to my desktop and also my Apple TV . Appreciate the great videos and expertise.
how to configure default route on cisco when on bypass mode?
This is a useless video for anyone wanting to use a third party router instead of Gen 1 starlink kit. Change the title and stop wasting people's time
i have starlink gen 1 router it does not have a by pass button , can some please help me? cheers
Just decided to use Starlink and discovered your channel. Really enjoying your tutorials, I'm learning a great deal.
Why didn't you plug the cable from the dish ethernet dongle directly into the third party router?
please keep up the excellent videos
I am a new Starlink user in North Central Florida. First, I am getting rather average speeds with some as high as 130 down and 17 up but usually 35-50 down and 6-12 up.
I watched your mesh network videos and I have a question regarding TP Link equipment. Can I mix Omada and Deco products? For example, I purchased the Deco mesh antennae for the home (will back haul one because the Starlink router is in my workshop which is in the garage firewall). But I would like to use the Omada outdoor antennae for around the pool. But I wasn't sure if the two lines were compatible. Thanks!
I purchased a Wi-Fi 6 Tp-link Ax1500 router! Will my Starlink mesh work with this router or do I have to purchase a different Wi-Fi extender? Yes I do have the Starlink adapter. I follow your design, Starlink router to Adapter, then to Wi-Fi 6 router, new router to unmanaged 5 port switch. I didn’t by pass the Starlink router yet because I don’t know if the Starlink mesh will work in the bedroom.
Were you able to get the Starlink mesh to work with the non Starlink router? I have the Starlink Mesh and am thinking about getting the TP Link Router but hate not to be able to use the Starlink Mesh since I already have them.
Thanks for sharing. QQ. Can I connect the Starlink router (in dumb mode, router off) directly to an unmanaged switch, then connect 2 routers to the switch, creating 2 separate networks?
Yes you can.
Thanks!
Wow!!! Thank you so much .. Appreciate your kindness! Many blessings!
So got my starlink gen 2 set it up. getting from 60 to 150 down, but hardly more than 5 up. It is just set up in the yard for now, but with my cell I get 200 upload, with pc maybe 5 crazy. Also how do you get Starlink to find your wifi equipment? Found phone, okay, I reset my pc so it would see starlink. anyway we are started...ha
That does not sound right. Give it a few days to settle in. Check for obstructions too.
I really like your videos John, but this one was not what I expected. The title is, "How to Setup....", and it doesn't do that. You show things already connected and you're doing performance tests. I'm looking for step-by-step instructions, such as 1. Turn off all equipment. 2. Unplug existing Router and connect the Ethernet Adapter in line, etc. I didn't watch the entire video, but gave up at the 12 minute point. Thank you for posting this series.
Thank you for that.
Thanks!
Thank you so much.. Appreciate your kindness!
it seems like he doesn't understand what the speeds actually mean? No you won't get faster internet speeds with an AX router on wifi and you don't make this clear. You will only get faster speeds when accessing devices within your own network like transferring files from device to device for instance or streaming games through steam from device to device. Your internet speeds are not being capped by the speeds of your router so therefore will NOT be faster when using a router with faster transfer protocols. This is a pretty important point which you've glossed over entirely but needs to be stated clearly for this video to have any meaning at all.
Thanks for clearing up that a router does not provide faster data speeds provided by your ISP.
Greatly appreciate this video. I live in the boonies with no cable or fiber service for TV or internet and currently use (cough, cough, gag) Viasat. You know, Viasat? -- the ones who sue Starlink and SpaceX because they're woefully inadequate and see the writing on the wall as more and more people switch to Starlink. Anyway, my Starlink equipment is on the way, including the ethernet adapter. This video will be very helpful. The diagrams are awesome and thank the Lord for "pause" and "rewind."
I hope the equipment arrives sooner than later.
I was in the exact same boat. Starlink is up and running here and we ❤ it. Just found this channel, and hope to learn more.
First off, great video. I have the adapter for my starlink and have my 18 port switch hooked up to it. My question is does Starlink router being active disable NAT loopback? Or by disabling the starlink router and setting up like your video will open all my non starlink routers functions. I am trying to cure a Nat Loopback issue running on a in-home network game server for my kids PCs. Ark Game servers. I can build fix all sorts of PC related issues but hate networking with a passion. Something so stupid and simple made complicated. I have a Netgear Nighthawk Router that I can use. Server is running 11 pro. I live in an area where there is no highspeed other then lame HughesNet or Starlink. Starlink has been a god send and love it.
Blessings!
Great videos, but for some reason, I’m having issues trying to set up my own router AX11000 TP link to Starlink Gen2?
• I’ve selected bypass Starlink wifi router on the App ( I bought the ethernet adapter)
• I factory reset the AX11000 TP link router (as it was used before).
• I completed the setup on the TP-link app, but at the last stage, it comes up cannot connect to the internet. I've rechecked the login and password for the new settings, and it's correct - But there is no internet connection data?
Any ideas, please.
Thanks for any help
That’s strange. Never heard of that before. Try to factory reset the Starlink and use the AX as an Access Point. Make sure that DHCP is happening and Starlink it giving the other router the internet handshake. If it work, I would factory reset both and then by-pass the Starlink and see if the AX will pickup its duties. Strange one
I have the original Starlink, it does not offer the bypass Starlink wi-fi router option in my app. Now what?
You should be able to connect another third-party router to the Starlink AUX (RJ45) port on the back of the unit.
Very strangely, if I set my StarLink Gen' 2 in to bridge mode, my speeds via ethernet cable are limited to about 50 mbit. If I turn wifi back on, split channels.. boom back up to 200 mbit. Very strange.
Wow. I e not seen that before. Very interesting.
If I just get a managed switch with my STARLINK router will the switch manage the wifi data also or only Ethernet cables that are plugged into the switch? Reason being I'm trying to give only so much STARLINK speed out on WiFi and the rest of the speed reserved to LAN connection only. Is this possible? Thanks
No. Managed Switch is for Ethernet connects.
Thanks!
That is so very kind! I hope my videos have been of some assistance! Once again.. Thank you for your kindness and many blessings to you and your family!
@@jcristina Your videos are so well done... Clear, concise, and detailed. I very much appreciate your efforts. Thanks again
I'm new to the concept of a managed switch. You mentioned that you use one and do not require a router. One reason I have a router is that it has a firewall. I may be paranoid but that seems important. Does the managed switch provide that function or do you have something else?
Depends on the switch. QoS VPN and other safeguards can be baked in.
Went back into settings. Somehow even though it is brand new out of the box, the bandwidth setting were enabled, which limited the ports to 1/2 half . I disabled the bandwidth control to off. Now I get full speed again.. So far, wired is running 150 - 230 down. and I have this big router pushing it all. So far so good...
Thanks, again, Randy
Awesome awesome awesome.
Starlink FCC filing claims to have 250Mhz bandwidth for each user. How is it possible to faster than 250Mbp?
MHz vs MB
Do not know what Starlink is doing with its premise routing device when it comes to the IP protocol stack. Cable internet service uses DOCSIS with DOCSIS-PIE RFC 8034 algorithm to reduce bufferbloat. Do not know if Starlink is doing anything link this with its equipment. Might account for the difference in the download speeds on your tests.
Do not know if anyone else has used a wireless router trying the cake over htb + fq_codel solution. Would like to know if that made any difference.
Do not know what the major backbone, and router companies did to solve the issue of ever rising packet loss that was up to around 9% world wide some decades ago. Thing is buffer bloat can contribute to packet loss. As such IP packets have to be re-transmitted which is very inefficient. The problem is too many companies use a proprietary solution that only works on their equipment, or that somebody has to license from them. Thing is will never have a solution unless it's baked in to the protocol snack that everyone has to use.
Great points. I hope someone knows here and adds a comment. Packet loss is a real issue and I’ve done some testing around 1.5 to 3.5% which is not great.
Thanks for this great video. I see that you have the ethernet adapter connected in the Wan port of the tp link router and then have the 8 ports control or manage switch. Then you say you have the mesh network installed from
The switch. I have a different setting and wondering if I could get better seed testS results sby setting if differently.
So I have the Starlink etherney adapter that goes from the Starlink router to the port 1 of the manage switch. I have my Linksys mesh Ac6600 parent node connected in port 3 of the control switch. Should I do it differently? Do I need to get a router like you show in your video before the mesh network?
Also I did activate the bypass mode when setting up my mesh networks but recently noticed that when I look at my settings, bypass mode is not blue anymore. Is that normal?
That is fine. Really depends what you’re trying to manage. Your placement is just fine.
