Dome with Starlink and separate LAN AP possible?

Product Discussion
1

Can any of the dome products take a Starlink WAN connection and also accommodate a wire for separate LAN AP?

Envisioning a number of WANs on a boat:

  1. Ceullar
  2. Starlink
  3. Dock-side WiFi / 2nd cellular via mifi/hotspot device (WiFi WAN)

And LAN AP separate

Also some times might use a hotspot for a second cellular when away from dock so that would use the WiFi WAN in that case since there is no USB to tether

Does the WiFi WAN on the Domes have separate 2.4 and 5ghz? Can I hypothetically connect to two different WiFi WAN networks at once?

2 and 5 ghz are sperate on all peplink devices that support wifiwan.

I wonder if its easiest to just use WiFi WAN for Starlink connection. Only downside is if at a marina that has WiFi networks showing on both bands we would have to pick one or the other. We travel to some busy areas so its not farfetched to expect every internet option to be bogged down.

Sure, you just have to add a Virtual WAN licence on any dome you like.

2 ports using the included splitter and you can use one in access mode towards the virtual

Does the splitter work with a marine mount? How are people mounting the dome with the splitter in marine environments?
