![]() ![]() If you’re like me, you will install it, shove it behind your desk, and forget it even exists. It’s profile allows it to easily hang behind a desk or cabinet. It’s made of a nice looking plastic that matches the other Starlink hardware. It just sits between the router and the dish, and gives you one Ethernet port. What else can I say, there really isn’t much to this device. And if your situation requires a hardwire connection, the adapter is just an extra $25 from the Starlink shop. Most people won’t need an Ethernet port, so Starlink eliminated it on the router to lower manufacturing costs. These days, everything connects via Wifi, from our TV’s, to our computers, to our cell phones. My guess is that Starlink believes most people don’t use the Ethernet port. The round dish router has an Ethernet port built in, so I was confused by the decision to remove the Ethernet port for the next generation hardware that is being sold today to customers. I was an early beta tester for Starlink, when they were still selling the round dish. Your Wifi will continue to work as normal, but now you can connect devices via Ethernet for internet access. Once the app indicates that Starlink is Online, you are all set! There is no additional setup required. You can monitor the status of the system from the Starlink App. Give the Starlink system several minutes to boot up and connect to satellites. Step 5 – You can now power everything back on by plugging in the router AC power cord at the wall. Step 4 – Plug the Starlink antenna cable into the connector on the Starlink Ethernet Adapter. ![]() Step 3 – Plug the Starlink Ethernet Adapter into the router, where the Starlink antenna cable was. Step 2 – Unplug the Starlink antenna cable from the bottom of the router. You will want the dish and router turned off while we reconfigure the cables. Step 1 – Unplug the Starlink router AC power cord from the wall. You don’t need any tools or IT skills, just follow these steps: R7800 v/ old Voxel firmware spontaneous factory reset.Installing the Starlink Ethernet Adapter is very simple, and there is virtually no setup required. 1.0.2.102SFĪnything I can do with an old Netgear R7800? Should I be worried : R7800 and 5GHz was down when I came home ![]() Voxel Way to route traffic using the subdomain used? R7800 looking to integrate pihole for DNS Sadly I am out of the return period of this router and I am looking if flashing custom FWs like open-wrt or voxels will help here. I did contact netgear but sad to say they were of no help, they could not understand my problem statement and finally the level 2 support said that setting DNS for the local dhcp server is not supported and if I want to update the DNS I will have to go to each device connected to my network and update it in the device. I have the R7800-V1.0.2.46 stock netgear FW on it because thats what it came with, I did not bother to update because the router is very stable with the stock FW and the performance is good. Now fast forward to the Netgear X4S, I cannot find the DNS option under the lan DHCP server settings. I have a raspberry pi with Pi-Hole installed on it and I used the raspberry's IP address as my DNS on the lan DHCP server page on my asus N66U router to block adds at the router level, this worked very well for me. I had an aging Asus N66U router on which the 5Ghz band was failing so after much research I bought the netgear X4S when it was on sale. ![]()
