C59 with CPE210
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I am trying to send my Starlink internet connection to a barn. I have Two CPE210's making a link from the Starlink router to the C59. However, I can't figure out what settings to use on the C59. I want the Starlink router to handle all of the DNS stuff, and the C59 just reboradcast the network in the barn. I would like everything to be on one network so printers work across the link.
Thanks,

Hey @Hunter234711,
I actually just released two articles for our newsletter detailing how our products can be set up with Starlink routers depending on which version of the Starlink Router that you have. If you are using a Generation One Starlink Connection, the router does not support bypass mode and will have to be disconnected to avoid issues.

Have you also disabled the DHCP on the other network devices. The key is that there can only be one DHCP server running on a network. If you had a network connection with no issues, it sounds like you may have disabled the DHCP on the Starlink Router previously, so the network was using the CPE210 to run the DHCP server. Otherwise, I would diagnose if the connection stops at the CPE210 or at the Archer by either looking at the logs, or using the LED Status Lights on the Archer Router.
What is the purpose of having two CPE210 networks? is it not possible to move the signal receiver to the ArcherC59 and use only one Outdoor Access Point.
Also, I barely understand the reasoning, as I am more familiar with mesh networks nowadays but, the reason you are getting confused with the Access Point IP address is because of the fact that Access Points behave differently than a router or Extender when connected to the network. Some access points have you set up the IP outside of the pool because this is the way in which you will manage the access point itself, not connect to the rest of the network. It really depends on the router and the configuration from what I could tell when I was searching around.

@Riley_S Thanks for the info! No DHCP is still enabled with the Starlink router. In fact, if I plug my laptop up to the CPE210 (where the ArcherC59 connects) my laptop gets assigned an IP address and the internet works fine. And for now I'm just leaving DHCP on with the C59, the internet works great, but it just means I can't connect to printers on the different subnets. The moment I disable DHCP on the C59 the internet stops working. It isn't a huge deal, I can just connect to the different network to print.
The reason I have two CPE210s is that they both have directional antennas, and I think the signal would be too weak without this P2P link.

If you come across any issue running your network like this, I'm curious to see if you can disable the DHCP setting on the Starlink Router and maintain a network connection off the DHCP server on the CPE210.
Your situation confuses me, as what you are describing should cause issue such as DoubleNAT. I am wondering if the cpe 210 is somehow interfering with the DHCP server
