Hi everyone!

I need some help with setting up my wireless bridge. I do have some tech experience (generally can figure out how to do most things) but this is over my head. We have 2 houses on our property and got starlink at the one house. We thought we would use a bridge to share the connection to the next house which is under 200 feet away. We have set up the bridges and the starlink and connected it all. Both bridges have power and all is ready, except I need to get them speaking to eachother so I can get the wifi signal to the 2nd house. I really need some basic instructions on how to do this properly on my macbook. I tried to hook up the bridge that will be the master to my laptop last night and it would not work. I have ordered a new adapter for the ethernet cord from amazon hoping that will help. Once I get it connected to my macbook, I understand I have to create an IP address on my macbook so I can log into the website. Can someone help me with some instruction on how to set up an IP on my macbook and how to connect the bridges to get them working?  I have attached a PDF with my setup.

Hi  @ab23401 

 

You may refer to the following guide to set a static IP for your MacBook.

Just in case, the following should be your scenario.

Have you checked the default IP address of the CPE710 in the manual? Setting your MacBook's IP in the same range should help you log in. Also, ensure the master bridge is in AP mode and the other in Client mode  rpay balance inquiry for proper communication.

It is like you're close! On your MacBook, go to System Preferences > Network, select Ethernet (or USB Ethernet if using an adapter), click Advanced, then TCP/IP. Set it to Manually and assign an IP like 192.168.0.2 with subnet 255.255.255.0. Then access the bridge via its default IP to configure it. Hope your new adapter gets you up and running tiro al palo tenis.
