Starlink / App (Dish Management) Access / Peplink

@WeiMing thanks for this revision! I was able to connect to the management GUI of a non-Starlink LTE-modem in DHCP mode. Could the Management IP config also be enabled this feature for Static IP mode as well? I have a DSL modem with static IP and would love to be able to access its management GUI as well. Thanks again!

@jameythompson, that sounds reasonable. Let me bring this to the team to review and share the outcome. :wink:

I could also use that feature, I have DSL modems to manage with static IP WAN interface assignments.
Currently I have to deploy an additional Juniper SRX to be able to manage the modem.

I see there is a new 8.1.2 beta firmware. Is this feature (ability to static route out to WAN) built into that firmware?

Can this be accessible through RWA in the same way as the Wifi as Wan gateway ip?

@Madcodger, tentatively, the feature (DHCP & Static WAN) is targeted on firmware 8.2.0.

Excellent! Thanks!

Looks like they are going to push the management routes over option 121 if the DHCP client supports/requests routes via 121 instead of 3

Jus a quick update: I initially tried to update via wifi using a Mac, and was unsuccessful, twice. I later download the firmware to a Windows machine connected to the router via ethernet and was successful. No idea which of those factors made the difference, but I am now happy to report it works well, and I can now remove the Starlink router.

I updated the firmware and followed the directions. When I go to 192.168.100.1 I get the stats from the modem of the other Wan and not my starlink modem. Any advice on how to correct this. Thanks in advance!

Many, many people on Reddit r/Starlink are not using the provided router and receive the Starlink firmware updates. Firmware updates come down to the dish from the satellites, not up from the router.

I’m not a network expert by any means but I have to think that the modem of your other internet connection must be trying to use that same IP address. Try disconnecting it temporarily and see if you can see the Starlink dish at that address. All I can tell you is that it works fine on my Balance 30 LTE, HW 3.

This is also working to allow management of an AT&T DSL modem that I couldn’t previously reach.

Tip: It’s tempting to put in the device’s IP, but that’s apparently incorrect. Instead, enter another IP on the same subset. As a specific example, my modem’s IP to access its management web pages is 192.168.3.1. So in the Peplink Management IP Address, I used 192.168.3.2. Then I can get to the modem in a web browser at 192.168.3.1.

The Dish firmware version is independent of the router firmware version as far as I know, Obviously the router won’t be able to upgrade on account of it being disconnected/powered off but the dish should still upgrade.

Yep. I don’t use the Starlink router but get dish upgrades just fine.

I just wanted to report that I applied this firmware to my Max BR1 MK2 and am able to successfully get to the statistics page of the Starlink antenna on the 192.168.100.1 address. Thanks for this update.

Trying to buy SFC for my balance 30 LTE and getting an error likely because the device was previously registered by another user (I bought the router second hand).
Hoping somebody can help so I can get SFC up and running with my starlink and dsl backup. Ticket number 21051000.

Is this included in the latest 8.1.3 for Peplink 30 LTEA or it is still required to download the Special Version 8.1.1.s118?

Just to add something I noticed. I was not able to get to 192.168.100.1 in chrome or brave browser at all I got a 404. IN IE it loaded the black page that says Starlink but would go no further. Finally, I tried Edge and it loaded fine. Not sure if it was just something with my computer or what but if you are having issues try Edge,
