Hello, I only use Starlink as an Internet source for my Mikrotik clients out speed is only 100Mps When I do a bandwidth test, the speed reaches 300 Mbps I did the baypass mode.. No, but the same problem I heard someone say that he is using Starlink Mikrotik without a Starlink gen2 router Is this true.. I want to try this..I want help

I have never heard that the starlink router can be removed from the mix entirely, perhaps if you have a credible source of info you would like to share…

The “standard” dish uses the router to power the dish, so it cannot be removed. You can set “Bypass” using the starlink app to avoid its routing (e.g. act as a bridge). But even that still will only get you a CGNAT IPv4 address & you need the ethernet adapter part for the “standard”/rectangular dish.

If you have the original circle starlink dish, those you could bypass as well, and don’t need the ethernet adapter… but still need the router.

In the more expensive “performance”/square dishes, it comes with a power supply that’s seperate from the starlink router, so you can.

I have an original Dishy kit and you can use it without the router. You plug your Mikrotik into the white port on the power supply (which is just a fancy/proprietary POE injector) and Dishy McFlatface into the black/gray port. You lose the ability to talk to the Dishy through the app (since the app talks to the router and the router talks to the dish), but it works. You get a CGNAT IPv4 address to the router.

For camping and other remote work, I plug my LTE hAP AC3 into the Starlink router’s AUX port (LAN ethernet) and then it tunnels back to my network via Wireguard. If Starlink fails, it falls back to LTE.

The starlink cabling is proprietary, but it can be modified to use a regular PoE injector instead of the original router.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’d be interested if it really needs a separate PoE injector with corresponding power source, or if a MT router can serve this purpose.
