Connect Starlink to a Max HD1 Dome Pro directly via a switch

We have received multiple inquiries on if it’s possible to connect a Starlink to a Max HD1 Dome Pro via a switch, without an intermediary router in between. And the answer - it is!

Some key details on the example’s configuration:

  • Switch configurations:
    A) Add an additional VLAN. In the example this is VLAN 10.
    B) Configure the switch ports as such:
  1. Connected to Starlink - access port (VLAN 10).
  2. Connected to HD1 Dome Pro - trunk port (untagged - Default VLAN, tagged - VLAN 10).
  3. Connected to end hosts - access port Default VLAN.

  • HD1 Dome Pro configurations:

A) Enable VLAN WAN in the dashboard by dragging it to priority 1, set its uplink interface as LAN with VLAN 10.

B) Enable Starlink in the Network > WAN settings, with interface VLAN WAN.

And this allows for the Max HD1 Dome Pro to have three WAN interfaces, while eliminating a need for another router.
