Good stuff. I did some comparison metrics with my own router and found interesting results. On WIFI, my speed tests were Ping 60 ms, Download 240 Mbps Upload 15Mbps. On router (using jumbo frames at 9K), my speed tests were Ping 25 ms, Download 140 Mbps Upload 30 Mbps. The most unique observations were wireless download beating wired download with jumbo frames enabled. I suspect they don't have their ethernet chip/driver enabled for jumbo frames. The big speed up in upload shows their ethernet chip can do jumbo frames. The ping (latency) improvement is standard. I was surprised at NO administrative access to any end-point equipment which would probably allow all the above to be cleared up with a few simple settings.

The issue for port forwarding is that Starlink is doing CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT) so your WAN IP is a private address as IPv4 public addresses are officially exhausted. Only when fully IPv6 is deployed by Starlink and supported properly by your home router you can remove Bell Canada Router.

@@DonJoyce You may want to explore Hurricane Electric (HE) IPv6 vISP. Basically you can create a 6to4 tunnel from your home router to any of their POPs and from there tunnel (like a VPN) IPv6. HE will assign you an /64 or higher Public IPv6 block (static) that you need to configure and propagate on your Home Network. So with this you can avoid wait for Starlink to do their thing to enable full featured IPv6. The other problem is if your home router supports creating these tunnels and if your IP cameras also supports IPv6 as well. I don't think Unifi USG (or any Unifi Router) is capable to do this. I use Mikrotik Routers and they are so versatile and I have created these tunnels in the pass (Other problems are VPNs are still not supported until a major firmware release like ROS v7.x) and then deal with your IP Cameras as well. It's a long shot and multiple checks to make it work but is a potential path to pursue. Another option is to put a VPN server in a Cloud Provider (i.e. AWS) and use it as hairpin to access your Home Network and cameras (downside you will have to absorb costs for this virtual environment but if it's cheaper than Bell Canada fees you may want to pursue this option as well). Good luck!!

you can use a vpn via a vpn enabled router, with a vpn service that offers a static public ip4 and port forwarding capability. Then you can provide the "reach in" you mentioned (without needing dynamic dns), even though the starlink network is using private (class A) network for it's public ip's (aka carrier grade network). There are a few vpn services that offer this, but you have to get a router that works with your chosen vpn service.

We are actually selling many routers to starlink customers for this exact same reason. There are many customers that needs a public ip and the issue is starlink is providing a private IP. As such, you cannot do any port forwarding to it. Just think of starlink having a big router and you are getting something similar to a 192.168.x.x IP from it. As you know, if you try to go to that from outside your network, it will not know where to go as it is private. Since starlink has the "big router", you cannot access the settings to do any port forwarding. So what we offer is our MOFI Cloud Public IP service which we have been doing for more than 10 years now. With this service, you get a dedicated public static IP so you can do port forwarding to run your camera and also get your playstation or Xbox to have an Open NAT. There some VPN companies you can also get to do this, we just have everything integrated and provider full support.

Your video implies that Port forwarding won’t work with Starlink even if you’re not using their included router.. is the correct? I thought the non-configurability of their included router was the reason why you couldn’t port forward. Can you clarify possibly? I was hoping to set up port forwarding soon so that I can access my home automation server (Hass on a Pi4) away from home.

Your use-case is similar to mine. You can certainly set up the port forwarding through your own router.

Hi Owen. This doesn't sound too difficult, particularly since you have a trench! Run your ethernet cable across to the shop and plug it into an ethernet switch there. Install an Access Point in the shop; an Access Point is basically a wifi emitter that gets its source from a wired ethernet cable. I use Ubiquiti access points...they are 'power over ethernet' so also require a simple box called a power-over-ethernet injector. I'm sure there are simpler Access Points though. (BTW, if you didn't already have the trench, I would have recommended a wireless ethernet bridge like this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/p6CDt3afboyaq6A)

Great video - thanks. In the diagram and explanation of your final setup; you mention that the Starlink Router does not support Port Forwarding (and lacks a web UI and can't be set to bridge mode). But your UniFi router does provide forwarding and you discard the Starlink Router by connecting your UniFi router directly to the Starlink POE injector with the UniFi WAN connection type set to DHCP. So the router you have connected to Starlink (ie UniFi) can do port forwarding - so why do you need the Bell WAN connection ? Is the real reason that you need Bell WAN because the Starlink service is a double NAT which would mean DDNS wouldn't work with Starlink ? Then 2nd question - given I assume you are having to pay extra for the Bell internet service; then wouldn't a VPN or Reverse SSH-Tunnel enable you to access your CCTV via Starlink even if they are Double NAT'ing ? so you could discard Bell WAN ? Thanks again

The Starlink router is the small inside box that your dish plugs into.

For the current dish model, you need to purchase the ethernet adaptor from the starlink store.

I have an older Linksys WRT54G wireless router I was using before getting Starlink. I had some older network printers connected by CAT 5 and set to static IP addresses. I could login to the Linksys router via html browser also. I plugged the Starlink into the peer port (1 or 4) instead of the WAN port. I guess my question is, should I let Starlink handle the routing (DHCP), or the LinkSys? I would assume the Starlink, since it's about a decade newer and, well, it's Starlink - but if so, how can I configure it (like blocking sites, opening ports, assigning static IP addresses, etc.)?

Hey Don, great video. Just what i wanted but I went the Ubiquiti webpage and have a question for you. Have you measured the speed since using the router? The 4 port one is shown to only handle 85mbps. This would definitely defeat some of the reason to go for starlink. (sorry to be the bearer) the next unit up, the dream machine pro is showing 250mbps but is a higher price of course. Eagerly waiting a test.

Hi I have the square starlink set up with the ethernet port so I can plug in our pc. Is there a way I can add another cable from the dish into my farm shop I have? The shop is very close to the satellite dish rather than trying to take a cable tbrough the house to my shop. I'd love to run it directly. I'm finding most shop customers are using the card machine to purchase. Can I somehow splice the cable to run in 2 different directions? At the moment customers have to come inside the house to use the card machine which is rather inconvenient.
@DonJoyce

No, you can't split the cable at the dish. Your best option would be a ethernet switch (basically an ethernet splitter) connected to your Starlink Ethernet adapter. You can then plug your PC into that and a cable that runs to your shop.

Our present network setup appears to be the same as "Dons Old Cottage Network" the difference being that we have 3 or 4 Wi-Fi access points for different areas. As the Starlink Ethernet adaptor needs power from the Starlink Router, will I have to enable bypass mode and will our 3 or 4 Wi-Fi access points still work? Do you think this is our best option. We have about 30m cable from our current modem to our network switch and then about 20+ m cable to each of our Wi-Fi points. Thanks again Don.

If you have gamers in the house, they may experience problems because of having two routers back to back (the starlink router and the nest router....gasp...the dreaded "double NAT" scenario LOL). If that is the case, just remove the starlink router from the equation and plug the ethernet cable coming from the starlink power box directly into the nest router.

In your second diagram you have "wi-fi access Points" I looked into the UeeVii CPE450 bridges however Because it is limited at 100 mb/s I would rather run an ethernet cord to future proof the situation if starlink gets closer to 500mb/s speeds. Just wanted to confirm that if were to purchase a router and a switch and than simply have the main router in the house and a secondary one in the other house it would work fine.
