Thank you for your video. May I please ask; I bought a brand new TP-Link BE800 router today, and it works fine until I put the StarLink gen 3 into bypass mode, then the TP-Link says it has no internet access. You mentioned on your page that a static address will fix this; could you please do a video to show how to enter the static details?
I have a generation 3 router along with the new dish. I understand everything you explained including going into bypass mode. The generation 3 router has two ethernet ports. I wanted to set up two separate Wi-Fi networks. First, I went to the starlink app and I placed the star link router into bypass mode. As you describe in the video. No problem. The I plugged ethernet port 1 from the starlink router into my wifi router one and confirmed that everything was set up correctly for network one. I performed two or three speed test and achieved 250 megabytes per second on average for each test. I went to several different websites and confirmed everything was behaving correctly. I then hooked ethernet port 2 in the Starlink router to my other Wi-Fi router. I had the router already set up correctly. I tested using internet speed test. The test results were poor. Achieving up to 80 megabytes per second but then as the test continued the megabytes per second reduced from 80 to 70 to 60 to 50 and so forth. And it could not perform any upload test. I went back to Wi-Fi router one and performed speed test. The results were very random and in fact quite a few times it told me that it had no internet access. This persisted for 30 minutes while I messed around with it to see what's going on. Finally, I disconnected Wi-Fi 2 from the star link ethernet port 2. At that point Wi-Fi router one started working properly with starlink. I was now again getting speeds in the range of 250 megabytes per second. It appears at least in my case that I cannot have two different Wi-Fi networks with one working off of one ethernet port associated with the starlink and the other working off the second port. For some reason they seem to conflict. Would you have an opportunity to test a scenario like I have described. Put the star link into bypass mode and then hook a wireless router to one ethernet port. Then add a completely different wireless router to the second starlink ethernet port. Do you have problems similar to what I ran into? I would be interested in this experiment...
This is a situation called double NAT. Since both routers are connected to the same modem, you can have weird issues like this. A lot of 3rd party routers allow you to manage multiple Wifi networks, even if one is a guest network. You might try that with just one router, instead of trying to use 2 separate routers.
@@StarlinkHardware I have tried with just one router and no problem with one router. It's trying to use the other ethernet port with a second router is when I have the problem. However, if I take router 1 and connect it to the ethernet port off of the star link generation 3 router and then take the other router and plug it into one of the lan ports on the 1st router then everything works. So that's how I have it set up right now. But I was always wondering why I couldn't use the two ethernet ports on the starlink router at the same time. And since the two Wi-Fi networks are not connected together, I'm not sure that I would have double NAT situation?
@@johnsullivan9320 If you plug both routers into the Gen 3 router, they are connected together on the same LAN, even though the Wifi networks would be separate. The two Starlink ports are connected together, think of it like a mini switch. There is no separation, so plugging two routers into the Gen 3 router results in the Starlink modem (the dish) handling two routers on the same network.
I placed the Starlink router into bypass mode. My understanding is that eliminates all router functions. If so it's as if I had connected my two other Wi-Fi routers directly to the Starlink dish. I don't believe NAT or anything else in the Starlink router would have anything to do with my setup. I assumed that would allow me to set up two completely separate Wi-Fi networks that cannot see each other even at the Starlink router. Is that not correct?
@johnsullivan9320 I have always run 2 networks with 2 separate routers by plugging the 2nd router into a LAN port of the 1st router and back to the WAN on the 2nd. This connects the 3rd party routers in tandem with their own SSIDs. Right now, I've taken the Gen2 SL router out of the circuit and get SL's Internet directly from the dish power supply to the WAN port of the 1st router using the cable that came with the kit. So... SL dish (Flat HP) cable to power supply, then power supply directly to WAN of 3rd party router #1. One LAN port of #1 to WAN of #2. SL Gen 2 router is not wired to anything. Both 3rd party routers (networks) were set up and operating with Comcast prior to SL providing the internet. With SL, all previously connected devices, appliances, etc still function as before, albeit a little slower. 60+ devices on #1 and can still stream 2K and use the guest network also, on #2.
Thank you for this video! 10 out of 10! It provides simple, easy to follow instructions on how to connect to an Eero Mesh Network. I’ve watched many videos on how to set it up, and this is by far, the best video on how to set everything up.
I completely agree. The only thing that wasn't included was the first GEN dish, which I believe does not have a bypass mode. You just removed the router. A lot of testing the euros are definitely the best router for the money. They are more expensive for the three pack, but they are definitely worth it. Make sure you keep them up as high as possible hire you keep them further range you get. Also highly recommend to use shielded network cables, if possible.
I have the Gen 3 Starlink and got a third-party router to resolve the IP address issue that happens in bypass mode. I set it up the configuration as shown in the video and followed the third-party's Starlink video with the specific instructions for set up, but continue to get the message that the IP address is already in use. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? I've spent 2 days on this and am running out of ideas.
You can't just turn off the Wifi without also turning off the routing functions, like handing out IP addresses. You would need to buy a 3rd party router where you can turn off just the Wifi radio, but it will still hand out IP addresses to devices you are plugging in to LAN.
Thank you, the directions you provided were excellent and simple to follow. Everything went well until the end when I tried to put my gen 2 star-link router into bypass. I went to settings then click to highlight the router and then I got the message that my star-link router was unreachable. Should I go back and bypass the router prior to connecting to my EERO 7 router and then connect the EERO 7 router?
Do I have to do a config of the startlink router? Can I go just straight to bypass mode the very first thing out of the box never even look at Starlink router config?
If I bypass my router, can I still use the starlink for connection? Because I connected my router and it is for another house and I use 40meters cable on it. And now I can't manage my router and it needs to bypass. So if ever I bypass it, I can still able to have internet connection on my starlink?
I'm hoping to do exactly this. I have the POE power injector and a 12v to 57v step up transformer. But I'm unclear if the setup app will work at all without the router? The POE invector is advertised as being made or at least sold for Starlink Gen3 so, maybe??
There is this on Reddit? UA-cam won't let me post reddit url???! Google search should show it. Confirmed: Starlink Non Articulated can be Powered by PoE Only in Bypass Mode.
Sure! Here's the translation: "I have a 3 router Gen 2 mesh system. When I enable bypass and put the TP-Link AC5400X router, do the other two routers in the mesh system continue to work or become inoperative?"
What are the settings for the first GEN? I know that some people still have the first Jim I have sold mine to a friend and they need the information for that. Thank you.
would there be any reason that a non wifi router (wired only router like the TP-Link ER605 V2 Wired Gigabit VPN Router) will not work when following your instructions in this vid? This will mean no wifi signal from the gen 3 router and only ethernet connection from the TP-link router?
You mentioned at 3:35 that you can still use the Starlink app to manage the dish settings but what settings are those specifically? I'm intending to install a Starlink setup with an existing business network with enterprise router (with site to site VPNs etc) and a mesh wifi network already in place across the site so bypass mode sounds perfect for my needs. I'm just curious what other statistics from the Starlink app I'd lose access to by using bypass mode? Do I still see that obstruction map etc? I haven't seen Starlink operating "in the flesh" before so trying to do as much homework as possible before I order the equipment for the customer.
I have a gen 2 dish and router. I got the gen 3 a couple weeks ago. Tried to bypass my gen 2 with gen 3 and the starlink app wont recognize my connection. So I still have my gen 2 hard wired into my gen 2 router but its just running as a node. However my connection shows wifi 6. So idk what I have going on.
When you turn the starlink to bypass mode, do you have to assign the static ip 192.168.100.2 to your wan interface to point it to the starlink dish? Or it will assign an ip to the wan interface via DHCP?
My starlink mesh 3 router stopped working it still shows a white light on the router but it is not outputting internet connection, it does not show in my setting to connect to. Starlink is sending a new router, but in the meantime I wanted to see if I could purchase the nighthawk router and will it work without my starlink modem working?
If you have an internet connection through the LAN ports on the back of the router, a 3rd party router will work. But if the router is broken enough to where there is no LAN internet access, no, you will have to wait on the replacement Gen 3 router.
Good day: I have a question please. I am using a starlink gen 2 router and dish. I need a GUEST setting, and after speaking (communicating ) with Starlink tech support, they advise that there is NO guest wifi option. They suggested using a 3rd party router which HAS a guest option, and NOT disconnecting or disabling the gen 2 router, but adding a 3rd party router, set up as a range-extender or something like that. Does this make sense - I'm not a tech person, so any support would be warmly welcomed. Thank you.
Hi! From Indonesia here. My English isn't that good but I'll try to answer your question. So, basically if you have gen 2 router, you need to purchase the starlink ethernet adapter, and a LAN cable. from one end, you plug the LAN cable into the Ethernet adapter, and the other end to the third party router. That way, you can still use the starlink router for personal use, and the 3rd party router (which has guest feature you're looking for) for other people to use. Just fyi, I'm using Ruijie and it works amazing. Hope this helps❤
Is the Gen3 router usable by iteslf for NAT features, port forwarding, parental control etc? Can I connect Starlink router to a Mesh router in a bridge mode and still have all the features of both Starlink router and the Mesh router?
It depends if it's a router, or if it's the modem and router for Centurylink. If it's just a router, you can probably use it, assuming it can be configured in access point mode. If it's a modem for Centurylink, it probably won't work.
I am having trouble with Wi-Fi signal within my home. I have the 3rd gen starlink and added the eeros pro6e to help but still having issues. Do I connect the eeros and then establish an account with eeros? Should I delete my existing eeros account? And now my Blink security cameras no longer work
Thanks for the video! I have Gen 2. I connected a TP-Link Deco X75 router, got that network, and I can connect. However, as soon as that network became available as an option on my phone, the Starlink App under the "Network" option said "Router Unreachable". If I go to "Settings", and "Router", I don't have any options and it says my Starlink router is unreachable. I can't get to "Bypass Mode". At the moment, I have both networks available on my phone, and my home apps (doorbell, thermostats, etc) are still working and I assume connected to Starlink. The photo that comes up on my Starlink phone app shows just the dish, like you mention in the video. Thoughts? Thank you!!!
I just ordered a Starlink Gen 3 system. It is my understanding that you go into "bypass" mode from their app, and then their modem is now just a PoE for power to the sat dish. I have a Deco (TP-Link) mesh system set up with another ISP (will cancel when I get the Starlink up and running) with 2, X-90's (1 acting as main router, the second as a satellite) and 2, X-68's acting as satellites. I have over 50 smart devices set up with this mesh system. I'd like to be able to use the same network SSID and password that I have set up currently so that I don't have to go to each smart device's app and reconnect to the Starlink ISP. How do I go about doing that? I get the physical connections and the bypass mode in Starlink app, but what do I need to do on the TP-Link app to integrate the new Starlink connection, so to speak? Thank you.
On the TP link you out in the same SSID and password that you have been using. Your devices should pick it up and operate as usual. Make sure you put your Starlink in bypass mode before you make your connections. Also, if you have a router that you are replacing with the Starlink and TP router, you must turn off any other wifi with the same SSID and PW credentials, i.e. turn the old off and remove it. You only need the bypassed router and the TP router with the same SSID and PW.
Does this help prevent the gen3 routers from getting fried? We have a new one on the way and don't want it to die within a month like the first one did.
Probably not. The Gen 3 router still acts as the POE injector for the dish, taking power from the power supply and sending it through the Starlink cable. Bypassing and using your own router doesn't change that, it just changes which router handles all the network stuff.
My neighbor and I want to share Starlink and have two WiFi networks that are independent of each other. My idea was that I use the Starlink router and maybe connect a VLAN router to it? Is that possible?
You'd end up with double-NAT (well, triple-NAT as Starlink uses CGNAT) in that situation. Best to use something like OPNSense to do the routing and feed separate networks. This also works super-well for IPv6 too, I have a real neat setup here across 5 separate properties, including my own home lab nicely separated.
It could be a bad router. I would say if it won’t reset, it definitely needs replaced. Are you feeling the reset button click? You should feel or hear something when the button is pressed.
I had the same issue. I had to go through chat and request a new one. It completely stopped working and will not allow me to factory reset either even though I hear it click when I push it.
All my Cctv Cameras have a static IP of which the gateway is 192.168.8.1.Can I change the bypassed router to match the same IP address with my cameras.
I have a Google nest pro Wi-Fi and thinking about setting up in bridge mode with Starlink G3. Has anyone had any experience doing this? When I did it with my Xfinity modem it was problematic
The dual LAN ports are a stupid 10/100 only! WHAT! I just setup a new system in England UK. Speed test on its WiFI 6 was 306 down 34 up. But off the LAN ports, tested both Down is 98. Starlink dont show the spec on any info. Now know why
What if you don't want WiFi but want to keep the Starlink router working. Why can't I just disable the WiFi instead of hooking up a new router just to be able to disconnect WiFi?
why is the gen 3 router not good enough? is the range always better on 3rd party router? also, do you have a video on why it won't connect the ethernet that comes from the wall as being hardwired on devices? the same cable(s) were plugged in to the Telus equipment and worked fine throughout the house, yet plugging it into the starlink router doesn't show up on a laptop hardwired in another room, only wifi connects. It does work going directly from laptop to router though, so I know the ports work. i don't understand why it won't work, nothing has changed with house cables etc. thanks
How do you set it up if you don't use a smart phone? There are literally tens of thousands of us who have ditched the smart phones for flip phone technology. Show us that way to connect to the system.
If I bypass my router, can I still use the starlink for connection? Because I connected my router and it is for another house and I use 40meters cable on it. And now I can't manage my router and it needs to bypass. So if ever I bypass it, I can still able to have internet connection on my starlink?

Gen 3 router lacks very basic features to interact with our IoT gizmos. Incompatable masks, subsets, to older gear, no address reservations.

I have a Deco (TP-Link) mesh system set up with another ISP (will cancel when I get the Starlink up and running) with 2, X-90's (1 acting as main router, the second as a satellite) and 2, X-68's acting as satellites.
I have over 50 smart devices set up with this mesh system.
I'd like to be able to use the same network SSID and password that I have set up currently so that I don't have to go to each smart device's app and reconnect to the Starlink ISP.
How do I go about doing that? I get the physical connections and the bypass mode in Starlink app, but what do I need to do on the TP-Link app to integrate the new Starlink connection, so to speak?
Thank you.
On the TP link you out in the same SSID and password that you have been using. Your devices should pick it up and operate as usual. Make sure you put your Starlink in bypass mode before you make your connections. Also, if you have a router that you are replacing with the Starlink and TP router, you must turn off any other wifi with the same SSID and PW credentials, i.e. turn the old off and remove it. You only need the bypassed router and the TP router with the same SSID and PW.
Does this help prevent the gen3 routers from getting fried? We have a new one on the way and don't want it to die within a month like the first one did.
Probably not. The Gen 3 router still acts as the POE injector for the dish, taking power from the power supply and sending it through the Starlink cable. Bypassing and using your own router doesn't change that, it just changes which router handles all the network stuff.
My neighbor and I want to share Starlink and have two WiFi networks that are independent of each other. My idea was that I use the Starlink router and maybe connect a VLAN router to it? Is that possible?
You'd end up with double-NAT (well, triple-NAT as Starlink uses CGNAT) in that situation. Best to use something like OPNSense to do the routing and feed separate networks. This also works super-well for IPv6 too, I have a real neat setup here across 5 separate properties, including my own home lab nicely separated.
Have you ever seen a gen 3 router not do a factory reset. I’ve been offline for 3 days and looking for some kind of help!!
It could be a bad router. I would say if it won’t reset, it definitely needs replaced. Are you feeling the reset button click? You should feel or hear something when the button is pressed.
@@StarlinkHardware i'm having the same problem
I had the same issue. I had to go through chat and request a new one. It completely stopped working and will not allow me to factory reset either even though I hear it click when I push it.
We were told this is a "known issue" with gen3...ours was fried within a month. I want to know how to keep that from happening again.
Thank you. It was super informative.
Can I just use the port in a Gen3 for an external router as a range extender?
Yep! Put the other router in access point or bridge mode and it will broadcast the Starlink WiFi without having to bypass the router.
@@StarlinkHardware thank you
What about if my router have the same ip ?
All my Cctv Cameras have a static IP of which the gateway is 192.168.8.1.Can I change the bypassed router to match the same IP address with my cameras.
I have a Google nest pro Wi-Fi and thinking about setting up in bridge mode with Starlink G3. Has anyone had any experience doing this? When I did it with my Xfinity modem it was problematic
Super useful, thanks!
So i bypassed the router and my starlink app says motor stuck now, and when i reboot i see it moving but i still get that error message, any advice?
Does getting a third party router reduce ping and increase speeds?
No, it improves Wifi performance on your local network. It will not affect your Starlink internet speeds or ping.
bro, my mikrotik didn't recieve internet from starlink ethernet cable with bypass mode
why?
The dual LAN ports are a stupid 10/100 only! WHAT! I just setup a new system in England UK. Speed test on its WiFI 6 was 306 down 34 up. But off the LAN ports, tested both Down is 98. Starlink dont show the spec on any info. Now know why
My friend how I can connect starlink to mikrotik via ethernet
What if you don't want WiFi but want to keep the Starlink router working. Why can't I just disable the WiFi instead of hooking up a new router just to be able to disconnect WiFi?
The Starlink router doesn't support turning off Wifi only, so you would need a 3rd party router to do this.
Well done!
why is the gen 3 router not good enough? is the range always better on 3rd party router?
also, do you have a video on why it won't connect the ethernet that comes from the wall as being hardwired on devices? the same cable(s) were plugged in to the Telus equipment and worked fine throughout the house, yet plugging it into the starlink router doesn't show up on a laptop hardwired in another room, only wifi connects. It does work going directly from laptop to router though, so I know the ports work.
i don't understand why it won't work, nothing has changed with house cables etc. thanks
Mine is stuck in bypass mode and won’t factory reset
I've heard of this a few times. You will need a replacement router. Create a support ticket with Starlink and they will send you a new one.
Thanks Iv been trying to get into touch with them for almost all day and haven’t heard anything yet
Thanks 👌🏻 ✅
You already did a gen 2 video why inject it in this one? Annoying
This is an updated video for all versions. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
How do you set it up if you don't use a smart phone? There are literally tens of thousands of us who have ditched the smart phones for flip phone technology. Show us that way to connect to the system.
You need a smartphone or tablet to manage Starlink with the app.
If I bypass my router, can I still use the starlink for connection? Because I connected my router and it is for another house and I use 40meters cable on it. And now I can't manage my router and it needs to bypass. So if ever I bypass it, I can still able to have internet connection on my starlink?
