Bypass mode is used to override the Starlink Router and use your own third party router, directly with Starlink.
Standard (Rectangular) Starlink with Gen 2 Router:
- Bypass mode will completely disable the built-in Starlink WiFi router functionality. An Ethernet Adapter is required to use this feature.
- Factory reset the Starlink WiFi router to disable bypass mode.
High Performance and Flat High Performance Starlink with Gen 2 Router:
- Your Starlink kit includes a cable option to connect the power supply to an external RJ45 port, as an option to connect a 3rd party router or mesh system.
- If you use your own router or mesh system it will require removing the included Starlink router and using the 3rd party equipment exclusively.
Standard (Circular) Starlink with Gen 1 Router:
- Enabling bypass mode through the Starlink App is not supported. The included Starlink router can be removed and replaced with 3rd party equipment.
Gen 3 Router:
- Bypass mode is supported on the Starlink Gen3 Router. Manually factory reset the Starlink Gen 3 router to disable bypass mode.
Starlink Mini:
- Bypass mode will completely disable the integrated Starlink WiFi router functionality. To connect your own third party router to the Ethernet port on the Mini, we recommend using the official Starlink Mini Ethernet cable, available in the shop. Using the official cable maintains the Mini's IP67 weatherproofing when using the Ethernet port on the Mini.
- Factory reset the Starlink Mini to disable bypass mode.
