getting passed wan failure message

Post Body

Troubleshooting on how to not get this error message (WAN failed). Any thoughts or clues on how to get pasted it? The first time I set it up, worked flawlessly. Moved 0.5 miles down the road, now error message. Can't figure out what I did different in my set up .
Goal WiFi via either Cell or Starlink through the same Pepwave Duo Max WifI home network. This allows me to switch between Starlink and Cell without having to tell each device the name of the network in use.I'm trying to get set up 2 or 3 to work. Set up 1 is proof that all hardware is working only.
Set Up 01
  • Starlink router as WiFi device as input to Pepwave
  • Cell active as input in Pepwave
  • result Works. Starlink speeds are slow compared to direct WiFi to Starlink

Set Up 02

  • Power down everything
  • Power up Pepwave
  • Power up Netgear
  • Power up Starlink
  • Starlink is pluged into Ethernet Adapter
  • Ethernet Adapter is plugged into Netgear ProSAFE
  • ProSAFE goes into Pepwave
  • result Cell is fine; Starlink - WAN failed HTTP test

Set Up 03

  • Starlink is pluged into Ethernet Adapter
  • Ethernet Adapter is plugged into Pepwave\
  • result Cell is fine; Starlink - WAN failed HTTP test

I'm not a network engineer so sorry if my explanation is confusing :)

> Are you saying you have the pepwave setup with starlink connected via the ethernet adapter to the WAN port?

Correct.

> Starlink only works when it is connected via WIFI bridge and not ethernet?

Yep. When it is set up as pepwave connected to starlink via the ethernet adapter to the WAN port, I get the WAN failed HTTP test.

I had heard that the Pepwave issue could be resolved by adding a switch along the way, hence trying to add in the netwear in scenario 2 above.

Any thoughts?
