After connecting your Deco network to your Starlink Gateway, you may find that you cannot manage the settings of the SpaceX connection, such as Snow Melt and Satellite Calibration, without first configuring a static route in your Deco app. Follow the steps below to configure a static route for your network to access the Starlink management interface:

First, Enable Bypass Mode on Your Starlink Gateway

1. Enable Bypass mode on your Starlink Gateway from Your Starlink App Under:
   1. Settings > Network > Advanced > Bypass Mode
2. Open the Starlink app on your mobile device.
3. Tap Settings
4. Tap on the Advanced Button to reveal more settings.
5. Scroll Down and Toggle the "Bypass Starlink Wi-Fi Router" to the 'ON' Position
6. Your Starlink Gateway will now be in Bypass (Bridge) Mode. Bypass Mode will turn off the Starlink Gateway's built-in Wi-Fi network and routing capabilities, allowing your Deco Mesh to provide its own wireless network and manage your devices' connections.

Configuring a Static Route through the Tether App

1. Open the TP-Link Deco app and sign into your TP-Link Account.
2. Tap the More Button at the Bottom of the Screen.
3. Tap Advanced, then Tap Static Routes
4. Tap the '+' button to add a new static route with the following settings:
5.  

Network Destination: 192.168.100.0 (The IP Address of Your Starlink Gateway)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway Field: 192.168.100.1
