Starlink Gen2 + TP Link router + port forwarding to local lan devices

Dears, to whom may help a non geek and not skilled net user.
I've bought a gen 2 starlink and it works fine and steadily. Unfortunately with this router I cannot access anymore a couple of devices (ethernet connected house alarm) and a solar inverter whicgh uses a specific port for manufacturer servicing.
I'm trying to understand but the chaos is very bing, being multipled information available and I cannot find clear indications on the best way to proceed.
- I understand that, for any settings, I've to purchase a router (so I'm here...) and ethernet adapter for starlink, that's fine.
- WHich router shall I purchase? I need double separated bands 2.4/5Ghz and medium coverage, no gaming or other very demandign uses (only teams for smart woring and evening NetFLix)
- Bypass mode for starlink, OK
- Then starts my confusion, I'vre read that considering SL uses CGNAT I cannot access from outside my lan devices. I've got IPV6 too, any I'm not sure my smart devices (alarm and inverter) have ipv6. Can I work around on this with a TP router?
- Do I need VPN to solve the above or I could open the ports in the router like with a standard ISP?
Thank you for helping me
