Starlink Sin Conexion A Internet
Nichelle Gruger
So who purchased the square dish version with the outdoor router modem, I read that no Ethernet port is available to make it weather proof. The article suggest you use a wifi Ethernet adapter but no idea that this works for arlo.
I believe this is recommended to minimise overload of the wifi receiver circuits which impacts the camera or mobile device operating range, it should not impact the base station Ethernet reliability unless it is poor router design by starlink.
I agree, adding that overload you are talking about affects both the camera and the base station wifi receiver circuits. The base station wifi could also overload the router's wifi receiver circuitry.
once I got the Starlink extender cable, I factory reset my base station and started from scratch adding it as a new device on my arlo app, connecting to Starlink WiFi. Took a couple of attempts to find device and is now all working fine.
I did the 2.4g wifi split on Starlink app and still cannot get these arlo cameras to connect. I have two Arlo Pro 3 cameras and have had problems getting them to connect (and stay connected) from the outset. This is with multiple internet providers (Comcast, Emery Telcom, (not just Starlink)). As a result, I have two non-functional cameras and no idea what to try next. Any other ideas or success stories with the Starlink wifi would be welcome.
After hours of work and multiple devices I've finally got it working. I purchased a cheap wifi extender with an ethernet port. Connected the Arlo hub to the extender and voila! It is working like a dream. Been working consistently for a week now.

I am using Starlink for almost 2 months now. For the last 4-5 days, my Mac connects to Starlink but the internet does not work for 5 mins and comes back for 10 seconds, and again goes for 10 15 minutes. Basically, the internet is not working.
At the moment it started to work again, I will check the router and Wifi diagnostics once it starts to disconnect again and update here. (It works for a couple of hours and then the same problem occurs almost the rest of the day)
if you have another Router operating in the same area, the two may be competing and clobbering each other's data. The simple solution to this dilemma is to set each Router to "automatic" channel selection. Then when each Router starts up, it will listen to the airwaves for a moment, then choose the least-busy channel(s). It is not an accident that every troubleshooting procedure starts with 'Cycle the power to your Router'.
There are built-in tools in MacOS Wireless Diagnostics including a 'Scan' function. You can invoke the MAIN pane of Wireless Diagnostics by holding the Option key while clicking on the Wi-Fi Icon in the menubar, then choosing Wireless Diagnostics off the menu that pops up.
From Wireless Diagnostics Window menu, choose Scan, which can tell you if two are DIRECTLY on the same channel. It will be a start, but is not completely helpful because the amount of Spectrum used around each nominal channel swamps MANY adjacent channels.
Okay I hope I managed it safely. The last 2 connection same name as Starlink. Is that might be the problem? There are 2 starlinks on the scan and different channels (6 and 153) and different MHz (20 - 80)
This pane will show you lots of things about networks around you as well. I have multiple Routers with different network-names and its shows signal strength (RSSI) and noise level on the strongest as well:
I ran the Terminal.app and I attached the result below. I have 2 different VPN's and I need to have them for my work. So I didn't delete the profiles. I was also using the same VPN for all this time.
Risks? Wrapping a second and weak tunnel around the primary tunnel and for just part of a network connection always seemed weird, particularly when it centralizes your traffic and makes personally-identified data collection vastly easier, and when the primary tunnel connection is well-secured and well-encrypted end-to-end, and while the second tunnel uses widely-known credentials and is thus weaker.
In addition to posting the graph, post the signal quality values from the Mac. Option-click on the Wi-Fi icon in the Mac menu bar, and copy the noise, RSSI, MCS, data rate, and Wi-Fi network type here. (Or post a screen shot of the pop-up, masking out the MAC (colon-separated) values before posting.)
Hi All. We have a staff member using Starlink satellite internet and they cannot connect to the hamachi VPN using it. They have no problem tethering to mobile or other internet connections with that laptop using Hamichi but as soon it try and use start link as internet it will not connect. So we have isolated the problem to the starlink connection - has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue that cannot be overcome because of the nature of IP changes with satellite? Cheers
The Hamachi log files might provide a clue as to what is happening. This support article explains how to Enable diagnostic logging and this support article list the ports and protocols that Hamachi uses which may be blocked by Starlink.
Well I wasn't able to get the Orbi 960 to get an Internet connection with Starlink V2, using the Starlink Ethernet adapter, so have filed a trouble ticket with Netgear. The unit is getting an IP address from the Starlink, as I have set up the Dynamic IP address option, and I spent 3 hours with them on the phone. They were helpful but not able to resolve the issue. They admit this is foreign territory to them, and they are escalating to tier 2 support.
It may just be a configuration issue, but as we are seeing more people sign up for Starlink service now that is being rolled out in major metropolitan areas, such as the SF Bay Area and Silicon Valley, it will behoove Netgear to issue some kind of FW patch to address this Starlink setup issue.
I have the Starlink V2 (rectangular version 2) system, and recently installed the Starlink Ethernet adapter, which allows one to connect devices up directly to the Starlink router.
I have the Orbi 6e quad band mesh system (AXE110000), and have tried without luck to connect to the Starlink via their Ethernet adapter. I have also tried turning on the Orbi's AP mode as well as the normal default router mode, and have also tried changing the DNS server to be 8.8.8.8 but too didn't work. Of course, power cycling both Starlink and Orbi's (all three of them) and disconnecting/reconnecting cables and re-power cycling was tried.
Note that I was able to to install the Orbi system and get it to work with my Xfinity Cable modem service and install the latest updates/patches from Netgear, as well as access the Internet fine.
The problem is just doesn't seem to want to obtain a valid IP address from the Starlink Wifi V2 and access the Internet.
I'm surprised that you could not get AP mode to work. Assuming you can plug a wired PC into the Starlink equipment, get an IP via DHCP and access the Internet then the Orbi base router should be able to do exactly the same thing. Is it unable to acquire an IP via DHCP plugged into the same ethernet port as a test PC?
Your suspension may be correct. When I setup my Orbi it recognized that Starlink was using it's default address range and Orbi switched to 10.0.0.0/24. Possibly you need to manually update Orbi to use another range if not occurring automatically.
To add further details to my previous reply for the Orbi 960 (AXE110000) Router, I was able to get a direct laptop connection to the Ethernet adapter working with the Starlink V2, so I know that Starlink is giving an IP address 192.168.1.158 to the laptop that allows it to connect to the Internet.
I have tried connecting it with a static address tied to 192.168.1.158, as well as a dynamic address set by Starlink. I have also experimented with Get DNS automatically from the ISP vs. using the Google DNS of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4. Also, tried using the Starlink MAC address (as well as my laptop's) instead of the default MAC address, all to no avail.
Under guided instruction from Netgear Tech support, did a hard reset of the Orbi Router with a paper clip, then disconnected power from both Starlink and Orbi, and then repowered on Starlink to make sure it was connected to Internet via Starlink's built in Wifi, and then repowered up Orbi in each one of those configurations above, using dynamic IP mode and in Router mode. Nada.
Also tried static configuration of IP addresses, under "Advance Home" screen on the orbilogin.net page to the Orbi unit, I see that the IP address for the Orbi "Router Information" is 10.0.0.1, and the IP address for the Orbi "Internet Port" for static configuration is 192.168.1.158 with IP subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4.
If anybody has any ideas of how to configure the Orbi differently so that it works with the Starlink V2, I'm all ears!
Netgear Tech support has promised a callback with their elite Tier 2 tech support engineers as they themselves are stumped.
As mentioned before, if I connect the Orbi to a Comcast/Infinity cable modem, there are no issues, and I even downloaded and installed the latest Firmware for the Orbi, and it connects perfectly to the Internet.
So don't believe there's a hardware issue, am pretty certain it's configuration issue with Orbi and the Starlink V2.
