I’ve encountered an issue while setting up Home Assistant. I was installing HA on a Raspberry Pi 5 connected via Ethernet to a router that is connected to Starlink. However, HA seems to have trouble establishing a connection.
To troubleshoot, I connected the Raspberry Pi to another router with a “normal” internet connection (not Starlink), and everything worked perfectly (installation and operation).
I would prefer to connect the Raspberry Pi to the Starlink router as it provides the best connectivity in my apartment, but I’m not sure how to resolve this issue.
No, you really don’t.
I would look for a different front end router. You don not have access to a lot of the stuff in the starlink and they could change IP address range or a myriad of other settings on you that will tend to freal Home Assistant out.
Keep control of your house and always run your own router in front of the ISP’s router.
I had a friend that couldn’t with a Starlink router.
That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a him problem. I have never had a problem with double NAY however myself.
Actually, I’m not directly connected to the Starlink router, it only acts as the provider (is that correct?). The Ethernet and Wi-Fi are managed by a Mercusys AX1500 mesh kit. I also tried adding another router, the TP-Link Archer C6, in between, but I still can’t get it to work. I probably need to change some settings that I’m not aware of. Oh, and the Starlink router is in bypass mode.
I have the setup you describe with HA on a RPI4 wired to a LAN router wired to the Starlink router. I like to tinker with my router setting and the Starlink router provides little in the way of LAN management, so I have it connected to a friendlier router. As a traveler, I want to continue to have access to the Starlink router to aid in aiming; it can be done through the LAN router, but the Starlink app plays better with it’s own router. I hide the SSID for the Starlink so availability is not advertised.
My LAN router’s WAN port connects to one of the Starlink router’s LAN ports. The Starlink Gen 3 Router provides a local network on 192.168.1.0/24. Acquiring an IP via DHCP works for the LAN router with a 192.168.1.1 gateway. The better network management with the LAN router lets me set up a route for Starlink router’s private subnet at 192.168.100/24 that the StarLink Integration uses and the more technical Starlink page at 192.168.100.1. However, I’m still struggling to get the integration working on the confirmed open port 9200.
