I haven't tried anything yet. I would like to keep the same IP addresses as the NetGear router has configured, but the StarLink router is a black box; no user configuration is possible.
That is impossible. There must always be a configuration method, even if it is limited. It could be via a smartphone app. Or it could be via an external IP living at the ISP, say http://starlink.com/router (I just made it up).
One would think that, right? But so far I haven't found a way.
This second method is what my ISP does. But accessing that method provides a method to get the router password and disable the ISP page, and then access it locally at http://192.168.1.1
And then, you always have the option to use the DHCP service AND your own static IP definitions. You only have to use static addresses outside of the router DHCP range.
And that would be acceptable IF I can see what the DHCP range is.
Your router must be accessible in some way. At worst, in informative way only.
Anyway, the other possibility would be to more or less abandon my static /etc/hosts table and let StarLink have its way. If I should take this option, should I erase /etc/hosts, or will StarLink just ignore it?
The router doesn't have access to that information. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
