Q&A:
Q: Do I need to delete the current Deco Mesh system and set it up again after switching Starlink Gen 3 from the previous modem?
A: Usually, We don't need to delete the previous Mesh configuration. Please confirm the connection type has been set to Dynamic IP and Deco should be plug-and-plug once Starlink Gen 3 is online.
Q: Can I connect both Decos directly to the Starlink Gen 3 router? Will I have Ethernet Backahul on the Deco?
A: It should work but Deco needs to be set into Access Point mode first.
