I can confirm that this procedure works with the Starlink 2.0 system as I just configured it a few minutes ago successfully. The only change from the video instructions is that the "Create New Static Route" is in a slightly different location. I assume its because Unifi changed the GUI in an update. Now just go to "Settings", then to "Traffic Management", then to "Create New Static Route" and then follow the instructions in the video. Thank you very much!!! Again, great videos!
@@LarsKlintTech I finished the customers Ubiquity setup last week... your video worked!!! :) The only thing that didn't work was Distance. It wouldn't accept 10 despite saying "input numbers between 1 and something I forget now"... and I was within 10. So, I just put 1 there as it's all it would take. So, not sure what that will do. But, it worked. His StarLink APP worked.
@@LarsKlintTech I agree. The weirdest thing was it kept saying "Enter a number between 1 and (I forget, let's say 255). And I enter 10 and it gave me an error. LOL! Prob a bug in their system because the error said that and I was within that. :)
Would this still work when using the docker Unifi Controller? I'm getting an error that is preventing me from saving with the details you've shown in your video. Using 7.3.83.
@@LarsKlintTech Even before I start I have a notification that "Your Traffic Management configuration won't take effect before a Gateway is setup." which I don't understand 🤷. When I enter "10" into "Distance"I get a "A valid distance must be between 1 and 255.", so I choose "9" or "11" and it works. Weird 🤷. Then when I try to save I get a "There was an error updating settings. This action could not be completed. Please ensure you've entered all information correctly.". I am using the docker container console. I have a feeling it could be a subnet conflict. unifi is on 10.1.XXX.XX. and dishy/starlink is on 192.1.XXX.XX.... My connection of the starlink (I am currently trying to remove the starlink router here and get the starlink app working) is dishy>starlink router>synology router and unifi runs on a synology NAS on the Synology network.
@@LarsKlintTech I do! I have this setup as a failover and Starlink is my main WAN, plugged into WAN (not WAN2). Speed tests also reflect my Starlink speeds so I know I'm going out that pipe.
@@ErikReidt Strange. All I can think of is that something is overwriting that route somehow. Have you got any other static routes defined? Does the Starlink app work if you connect to the Starlink Wifi router?
G'day. This will be super helpful to me as I just installed my STARLINK and I already have a Unifi network around my property aka farm. However I have a question. My interface for my Unifi COntroller looks way different than what is in your video. Does this work on a Unifi USG Router. Maybe I need more coffee but so far I cant find "Advanced Features" Duh help please and thanks in advance
@@LarsKlintTech Thanks Lars for the response. It is somewhat frustrating and although I have been in online education for 20 years I am a newbie on networking. Almost certain it is a "seat to keyboard interface problem" aka me 😉. I really need this to work and so I appreciate your help. My Unifi Controller is V 5.8.28 and I know there is an update but when I tried it on my Mac Mini M1 using macOS Monterey V12.1 it froze and I had to restore the app from Time Machine. Everything is working in the controller but I am nervous about trying another update
@@LarsKlintTech Mate I think your help and my need to get this to work was the impetuous for me to dig deeper on updating the Controller DUH it was a java problem or rather lack of it. I bit the bullet and installed Java 8 onto my Mac and THEN updated the controller and it worked . What's even better now my controller V6.5.55) interface looks like yours. I am now going to give it a go and report back I'm getting there.
@@AllanADL That version of the controller is 3.5 years old, so there might have been quite a number of features added and improvements made in that time. I am not familiar with running the controller on a Mac, but I totally get your hesitation. In my experience, the bigger the gaps between updates, the more likely something is to go wrong. Not helpful, I know, but perhaps it is time to take the leap?
@@LarsKlintTech Wow talk about jumping in the deep end and causing a domino effect. After installing Java 8 and updating the Controller software while holding my breath, I tried to do what you say in the video. Result ... the controller wouldn't let me do it because it said I had unsupported devices. So with more coffee in hand, I realized I had to update the firmware on the router itself then all switches and access points. Oh boy even more coffee and 6 device firmware updates later I tried your procedure again. This time it worked and I have the App back. BTW it still doesn't measure the Speed "Router to Internet" and "iPhone to Router" but I guess that's understandable. Does this work on your version of the App set up this way? Again thank you
So I have a ASUS AX3000 do I just do the same as you did and put those numbers in and my starlink app should still work correct. Please let me know thank you
I’m not Shure what happens, but if I put the Starlink router between the “black brick” and my usg, my internet won’t work anymore. If I directly connect to the Starlink router everything is fine. Usg is on wan1 and connected to the aux port
@@LarsKlintTech the round one 😊 The brick connected to my usg works fine. If I put the router from Starlink in between, internet stops working. The router itself provides internet via Starlink Wi-Fi but I don’t get any signal via aux port.
@@LarsKlintTech no when you disconnect say the starlink feed how long does it take for the wan2 to take over and when you reconnect the starlink feed how long does it take to switch back from the NBN to starlink...I have exactly this at my farm..NBN satellite and Starlink..A lot of routers either take way to long to switch or wont switch back to the original wan
@@SimjetAU Ah right. I think you are commenting on my other video on the WAN failover. No worries 😊 The initial failover always worked immediately. Changing it back was not as consistent, and about half the time I would have to disconnect the failover to get it to go back to the primary.
@@LarsKlintTech J Christina on youtube has been testing different routers for this function to try to have a seamless hand over on wan fail. Some are terrible and some are not but the hand back to wan 1 seems to be a issue for all he has tested so far. I am looking for a router that will do a proper fail over both ways consistantly for my nbn satellite and starlink
F'n A mfer!!!! it works, it works, it works, IT FINALLY Fn works!!!!! number of hops 3, 10 is invalid, all the other folks setups were WRONG!!!! IT WORKS

@@PerryCS2 Strange. 10 should be just fine. The number is essentially a priority, so putting "1" will make it the most important route.

That was exactly what I was looking to do. Cheers Lars
Saving this. It will be really handy later. Thanks
Cool Video, works for me as well. Thank you very much.
Awesome! You are most welcome 😊
Great video! Do you know if the steps will also work with the new Starkink 2.0?
Thank you
Yes, they should work, but you need the LAN adaptor from Starlink for 2.0.: shop.starlink.com/products/us-consumer-ethernet-adapter-gen2

exact same settings for gen 2 starlink, just did and it worked great, thanks! Using with Unifi Dream Router
