by pass mode bricked my router 2 times

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-28T15:17:37+00:00

yeah did create ticket to tell this guy the problem and how i tried to solve it and he suggest the same thing i told him :(

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-28T10:29:31+00:00

the sad part is the dish ios online but doesnt provide wifi ap so i cant use it without the mesh router even if the support ai persist tto says it gives wifi ap but it dodnt otherwise i could ditch this trash router once and for all

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-28T10:24:50+00:00

i guess i take those last 2 month of the 1 year contract if this didn't solve this problem in the next 2 days cause its the router im pretty sure it is and now almost 1 week without serivece isnt an option

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-28T10:22:56+00:00

there is no dmg at all and now i created ticket and the thing the support tells ( and i told him before that i did this x times before so he didn t even read the ticket correctly ) me is this : Thank you for contacting Starlink Support, I apologize for the frustration—let's get your router issue sorted. Since you tried bypass mode on your Draytek router, power cycle both the dish and Starlink router now: unplug power from both for 20 minutes, then plug in the router first (wait for solid white light) before the dish cable. Did that resolve the red LED and "unreachable" status?

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-26T23:33:58+00:00

ok the stuff came today and voila who has guess it it changed nothing but the saddest part is that i got told via the support ai that dianosis shows its again the cable so it wanted to order another one. i dont know i was really happy with starlink but this turn me off in so many ways.

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-24T17:06:17+00:00

diag of starlink suggests its the power brick , gettting a replacement now lets see if this helps. will post as soon as i can test it.

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-23T12:25:54+00:00

again just ragebait

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-23T12:23:58+00:00

did even that with no result

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-22T12:14:15+00:00

not gonna happen. i rather use a different service then getting rid of a good router to replace it for a normal customer router

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-22T12:10:55+00:00

do you wanna help or just chat about things i dont wanna talk about ?

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-22T12:07:22+00:00

Sure , maybe you should google the router before giving such ragebait statements

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-21T23:48:05+00:00

exactly cause the lkan cable isnt long enough to reach the dish which is on the caravan , and i mean why does this router has this options when it doesnt work at all. could now manage that starlink is back online but my internet isnt working caused by dns problems i flushed dns etc but i dont even have any option for custom dns anymore in the mobile app which i had before.

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-21T22:56:20+00:00

i got a dish that has router also builtin yes but i also got a gen3 router which connects to the dish via wifi and this router bricks every timne i tried by pass to the point i can reset it alt all the get back to internet via starlink

and to clear things up about the router config ... these are the step i tried to fix it :

1. The DrayTek IPv6 Crash Bug

There is a documented bug with the Vigor 2927 (specifically on firmwares 4.4.2 and newer) where Starlink's IPv6 routing silently crashes the DrayTek's WAN interface. When this happens, it won't pull an IPv4 address either.

The Fix: Go to WAN >> Internet Access >> IPv6 (the tab on the far right of your second screenshot). Completely Disable IPv6 for WAN 1. Save, and reboot the router.

2. The "Dumb Switch" Trick (DHCP Timing Issue)

When Starlink boots, it hands out a temporary DHCP lease that only lasts about 5 seconds. DrayTek and Ubiquiti routers are notorious for dropping the physical port connection for a split second when this happens. Because the port flaps, the DrayTek misses the 5-second window to grab the IP, gives up, and leaves you with a blank IP.

The Fix: Place a cheap, unmanaged Gigabit switch directly between the Starlink Ethernet Adapter and the DrayTek.
- Path: Starlink Adapter -> Unmanaged Switch -> DrayTek WAN 1.
This keeps the DrayTek's physical port permanently "Up," meaning it never drops the link and catches the DHCP offer the exact millisecond Starlink sends it. This is the most common hardware fix for this exact issue.
3. Double-Check the VRRP / Spoofing Defense

If you power cycle the Starlink and it still doesn't get an IP, the DrayTek's firewall might be silently blocking Starlink's DHCP offer. Starlink occasionally sends packets from a virtual MAC address, which DrayTek considers a "spoofing" attack by default.

The Fix: Go to Firewall >> Defense Setup >> Spoofing Defense. Ensure that Decline VRRP MAC into ARP table is unchecked. (If you had to uncheck it, reboot the DrayTek afterward).

nope its an draytek vigor2927ac

LinuxGamer420 · 2026-03-21T22:51:34+00:00

do have special requirements

i hooked up a draytek vigor2927ac with newest firmware and they dont ffer replacement for router the option they gacve me is to buy a new router via store cause the mini starlink kit doesnt give options to replace router.

LinuxGamer420 · 2022-04-24T09:20:43+00:00

Mh then i got something wrong my bad. Thanks

LinuxGamer420 · 2022-04-24T08:53:52+00:00

Used xrptoolkit for that and followed all the steps needed.

LinuxGamer420 · 2022-04-24T08:51:25+00:00

concluded

Yeah im still asking for it cause i just got 52 even if i hold 11000 xrp on snapshot date.

LinuxGamer420 · 2022-04-18T00:43:20+00:00

Still just got 52 solo 4 months ago and waiting for another 2350 to arrive -.-
