TLR605 - Two WANS same IP
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
It is well known that is not possible to change the IP in Spacex Starlink, so my question is, how the ER605 manage two wans with the same IP address? in this case two starlink that provides exactly the same IP at two TLR605 WAN inputs.

@evil_azrael So, there is no bridge mode in the starlink device ? is that what you are telling us ? as spacex couldn't possibly be assigning the same address to all customers..

@btx Yes, that's called CGNAT , still each customer CPE get a distinct IP address assigned from either rfc1918 or rfc6598 space. (or in some rougue ISPs by squatting valid already delegated Ip addresses space from someone else and using them "inside" the ISP network only, if you get this kind of service RUN FOREST, RUN..) This is all brought to you by folks that don't want to invest in switching to IPV6 , shame on them.
What the starlink device may do is to assign the same ip to the customer-owned device that first plugs to the internet.. in which case ambiguity will arise if you connect two UNLESS you are using virtual routing & forwarding (VRF)
All of this is just added complexity.. starlink could provide bridge mode.. some kind of passthrough..

Starlink gen2 does support bridge mode according to the interwebz. it needs an "starlink ethernet adapter" and disabling all the routing capabiltites and wifi. so there it is.
