Issue Description/Phenomenon:

Starlink Gen 2 system generally includes a Starlink Terminal, a Starlink router, and an Ethernet adapter. This Ethernet adapter will give you the ability to hard-wire the system and use non Starlink equipment with the system, and it is a must when connecting a non-Starlink router. However, SpaceX/Starlink doesn't guarantee performance with a non-Starlink router, the FAQ notes:

Available Solutions:

 

Solution 1

 

For Archer AX11000/AX6000

Upgrade and install the below beta firmware on the Archer AX11000/AX6000, then connect the WAN/Internet port to the Starlink Ethernet adapter to observe if the internet works. Download and unzip the firmware file, then you will see the “.bin” firmware file, launch a web browser and go to the Advanced > System Tools > Firmware Upgrade page to upload the firmware file:

Archer AX11000_V1.0_221209 (Updated on Dec 12, 2022)
Archer AX6000_V1.0_230303 (Updated on Mar 15, 2023)

Note:

1. Please be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
2. This beta version can be applied to the EU and US versions.

 

For Archer AX90/GX90/AX3200

Step 1 Connect the Starlink Gen 2 Ethernet Adapter to the 1 Gbps WAN/LAN Port on the Archer AX90/GX90/AX3200 instead of the 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN Port, then check if the internet will work.

Step 2 Visit http://tplinkwifi.net and log into the web GUI of the router, go to Internet, and select 1 Gbps WAN/LAN as the WAN/Internet port.

Note: The 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port and 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port cannot be used as the WAN port at the same time. Once we choose to use the 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port as the WAN port for internet service, the 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port will be used as the LAN port by default.

 

 

Solution 2

Try modifying the Internet Negotiation Speed to 100 Mbps Full Duplex, then save and reboot the system to determine if the internet works.

For Archer AX6000, go to Advanced > System Tools > System Parameters page, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you see find Internet Port Negotiation Speed Setting, change it to 100 Mbps Full Duplex:

 

For Archer AX11000, go to Advanced > Network > Internet page, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you see find Internet Port Negotiation Speed Setting, change it to 100 Mbps Full Duplex:

 

 

Solution 3

If you happen to have a network switch, try to plug the switch between the Starlink Ethernet Adapter and the Archer AX6000/AX11000 WAN, that is Starlink router --- Ethernet Adapter --- Switch --- Archer AX6000/AX11000, then confirm if the internet works.
