Accessing Starlink Dish Interface (192.168.100.1) with hAP ax lite - Solved

[Attic1812]

Hi!

I’m using a Starlink Mini with a PoE injector, which is connected to the WAN port of my hAP ax lite. Previously, I had a GL.iNET travel router in place.

The built-in WiFi on the Starlink dish is disabled, since I’m running a 30m Ethernet cable from the dish to the PoE injector inside a cabin, and the Starlink’s own WiFi doesn’t reach that far.

With the GL.iNET router, I was able to access the Starlink stats, alignment view, etc., by connecting to 192.168.100.1 via browser. Now that I’ve switched to the hAP ax lite, I can’t seem to do that anymore. I’m guessing it’s something in the firewall or NAT that’s blocking it?

I can still use the Starlink mobile app, since it connects to the dish via the internet, but I’d prefer using the browser, since it gives a more detailed alignment view.

Any idea how I can regain access to the Starlink interface via browser using my hAP ax lite? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have default-ish configuration‡, you should be able to add route for it:

/ip/route add dst-address=192.168.100.1 gateway=ether1

in winbox, IP > Routes…

Then the LAN will be able to use 192.168.100.1 as address

‡ /ip/firewall/nat’ srcnat will NAT to WAN, which how return traffic should work.

That did it! I used winbox (nice that it’s available for Mac as well!), since I’m more of a GUI person.

Thank you!

Again, I learned something.
