Er605 -> two Starlink dish -> same gateway -> don't work
Er605 -> two Starlink dish -> same gateway -> don't work
We have the following set:
2 x starlink antennas ->
1 x er605 router ->
1 x 8 port switch -->
some eap110 and eap225 --> mobile phones and laptops
And with the following details:
1. Two spacex Starlink antennas in bridge mode
2. one is on wan port and the other on wan/lan1
3. each has a different ip, but both are on the same gateway 100.64.0.1 (cgnat starlink)
4. tp-link's er605 pulls a signal from just one of them, it can't pull internet from both simultaneously.
Note: we changed the dns of one of them in the ER605 settings, but before the change it was the same (pulling the signal of only one of them)
We need to make both work together, any suggestions?
Note 2: both antennas are OK, we've tested them directly. Even the er605 sometimes changes the use of their signal by itself, that is, sometimes it pulls the signal only from the WAN other times it pulls the signal only from the wan/lan1; never together, which is our desire

Hi @Cotay
Thanks for posting in our business forum.

@Clive_A I'm sorry, but it feels like we are not communicating correctly. Are you saying that if I have two Starlink accounts with ISP Gateway: 100.64.0.1 on both WANs that it will work?
Your replies earlier in the thread suggested that was a problem and then the original poster just stated it never worked. I do not see your Internet Service Providers Gateway in the pictures you attached, just your LAN Gateway is the same.
Yes, it works.
100.X.Y.Z is not a public IP either. So there is no difference in this demo I gave. If you have a different opinion, I am very glad to know.
Load balancing should be properly configured before it works. If you have read what I sent to you. Many cases are on link backup which gives the impression that load balancing is not working properly. Please read what's been explained in that KB. Everything about the link backup has been explained in that.
I, so far, cannot think of anything else to add to that article.
And that is not a LAN Gateway either. It is not accurate to say that. Please take a look at the picture again if you have a question about it.
Please use proper terms if necessary so we are on the same page.

Hi @Cotay
If you ask anyone about the routings on WAN and LAN, it is always recommended to avoid the same IP address or subnet. Because that might be causing a trouble in the routing tables.
I am saying that might be the cause because it is under the process of ruling out the variables and possible causes.
He posted the WAN traffic count which means he cared about whether both WANs were up and running. I asked to set up the Policy Routing for further testing. He did not care to test.
And his pictures mean nothing and prove nothing. If you have any opinions on my comment on his test results, I am open to discussion.
And I am now showing you that setting the same WAN IP address would not pose a problem and both can link up properly.

@Cotay Thank you! That makes me more comfortable spending the additional funds on a second Starlink account.
EDIT (07/09/2024): I can confirm that Load Balancing does indeed work with two different Starlink dishes through the ER605. Thanks again to Clive_A.
