In this article, we'd like to share some useful configuration tips for connecting Deco with Starlink Gen 3.

How to connect Deco with Starlink Gen 3?

 

1. Connect the main Deco to one of the Ethernet ports of the Gen 3 router.

2. Follow this guide to set up Deco.

Since the default operation mode on Deco is also a wireless router, to avoid of double NAT issue, there are two recommended setups:

  • Enable "Bypass Mode" on the Gen 3 router and leave Deco as the only Wi-Fi router
    • Please open Starlink APP>Settings>Advanced to enable Bypass mode

         (Bypass mode will disable the built-in Starlink WiFi router functionality. A factory reset is required if you want to switch back to router mode. )

 

  • Keep the default settings on the Gen 3 router, then set Deco into Access Point mode.
    • Please Follow this guide to change Deco into Access Point mode.

 

 

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.

  @David-TP My experinec was terrible with the XE75 Pro. I bou8gh the 3 pack and set them up with teh starlink Gen 3. Starlink router in bypass mode, Deco as main router and messed other 2 devices. When it works it fine. I had one PC plugged into ethernet on the main Deco router. But every day something happened. The forst 2 days the deco speed reduced from the normal 400MBs to 20. This may have been due to me setting up parental control. In the end i tried to reverse the changes I had made but the changes dod not take and I have to perform a reset.

 

The same thing happened (had to perform a reset as the changes could not be reversed) when I Changed from router to access point mode and when I tried to Set up priority devices. 

 

I have repacked the routers up and they are on their merry way back to Amazon. Unstable and a wste of time IMHO.

 

I am tech savvy and followed all instructions but the download speed was throttled on a daily basis.

  @David-TP I'm not having any luck getting a Deco XE75 router to work with a gen 3 Starlink when the SL router is set to Bypass mode.  Works fine when SL router is not in Bypass.  The Deco is set for wireless router and when the SL router is booted the Deco obtains the WAN address from Starlink (DHCP) as usual and the Deco light goes Green.  Great!  But, a short few minutes later the Deco light goes Red and it stops working.  Checking the Deco app, when the light is Green, it has the proper WAN address but after the light goes Red, therte is no WAN IP address.  This happens every time I boot either router and happens the same on two different XE75 physical routers.  Starlink nor anyone else I have talked to has any ideas.  Did I get two bad Decos?

  @Chuck-TP I dont think you have bad routers. I had the same issue and tried several option involving bypass mode and others etc and nothing worked. I cannot recall what constellation did work for 24 hours but one did and then same result. Throttled speed. I sent mine back to Amazon and bought a second starlink router. Works perfectly.

  @Chuck-TP Answering my own question.  I remember now, you said you got a second Starlink router.  My objective is different and adding a Starlink mesh does not resolve my issue.
