Starlink and Asus

[Justinpt]

I’m trying to connect Starlink with Asus Router but couldn’t get it to work together.
Had my rj45 cable plugged from the Ethernet Starlink adapter (image attached), but my asus kept not working. All entrances tried just in case and different cable. Wondering what’s wrong!

You have to put the Starlink box into “bypass“ mode; until you do that the Ethernet adapter is useless. This requires the Starlink app on a phone, logged into the Starlink wifi, and it disables the Starlink wifi. If the Starlink gets a factory reset you’ll have to do it again, and power failures can generate a factory reset. It’s not a great setup. Though when it’s working it works well.

then maybe the router isn’t looking for the right IP address? I think with my Starlink setup It Just Worked, same as the cable modem in my home setup.

I have exactly the same problem, I have worked with ASUS for a year and they could not get the VPN client to ever connect to the VPN server within the router. They just replaced my router with a RT-AX86U Pro, and it still does not work. Will the router resident VPN server work behind the Starlink VPN, or do I need a 3rd party client within my router such as NordVPN or IPVanish?

This isn't an Asus problem, this is a Starlink issue, IMO.

Are you able to use your PC or other client device to use their VPN?

Simply get a free trial with a third-party VPN to test with. If, you really need a VPN. (Do you)?

It depends on your Starlink account - by default, it's CGNAT, but for some account holder, there are options...

IP Addresses

Starlink provides two IPv4 policies, "default" and "public", and always provides a public IPv6 /56 prefix.🚧Static IPStarlink does not provide static IP addresses at this time.The Starlink network is dynamic and from time-to-time IP addresses will change for resilience, as network capacity...
