A:Answer Certainly! To set up your ASUS XT9 router to work with Starlink, follow these steps:
First, check if your Starlink model supports an Ethernet port. If not, you’ll need to purchase an Ethernet connector from Starlink’s official website1.
Connect the Starlink LAN port to your ASUS router’s WAN port.
Configure your ASUS router’s WAN connection type:
Open a web browser and enter your router’s LAN IP or router URL here to access the Web GUI.
Log in using your router’s username and password.
Navigate to the [WAN] > [Internet Connection] tab.
Set up Automatic IP as the WAN connection type and click [Apply] to save the setting.
Now, let’s handle the Starlink app:
Open the Starlink app and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
Enable “Bypass mode” in the app. Note that this will disable wireless functionality on the Starlink router. To switch back to the normal state, perform a factory reset.
To use the Starlink app under bypass mode, set up a static route on your ASUS router:
Go to [LAN] > [Route] tab. Click [Yes] to enable static routes.
Add two static route rules:
Host IP: 192.168.100.1 (ASUS router LAN IP)
192.168.100.24 (Assign an IP to your phone)
Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Metric: 1
Interface: WAN
Remember, this setup allows your ASUS router to work seamlessly with Starlink, providing you with reliable internet connectivity. Enjoy your extended network!
