Go into your Starlink app and select the the settings tab on the bottom, in here you will see Split 2.4/5Ghz Networks. Toggle the switch to the right and you will see a little bit of blue just left of the toggle, you have enabled the split. This will create 2 networks.
The idea is to spread out your devices over the two bands so that there's less competition for the same channels. Separating your personal and Internet of Things (IoT) devices can also help your WiFi security. By splitting your devices between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, you can maximize your network's performance.
Open the Starlink app. Scroll down and tap Settings. Under Wifi Configuration, type in a new password (and/or network name) and hit Save. The router will reboot.
Simultaneous dual-band routers are capable of receiving and transmitting on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies at the same time. This provides two independent and dedicated networks which allows more flexibility and bandwidth.

The highest speed can be achieved on the 5GHz network by means of the AC-wifi standard. The 2.4GHz network has the best range. If you prefer, switching off 5GHz will reduce wifi radiation from the router even more.
The settings for the Starlink router can be accessed by logging in to the Starlink app and opening the settings tab. Alternatively, the settings page also has a web portal that can be accessed by using a web browser to search for the router's IP address.
Does the Dish Move By Itself? Yes, the Starlink dish will align itself by moving with its electric motors if necessary. Under typical usage, the dish does not need to regularly move. Once it is locked to the satellite constellation it shouldn't need to readjust very often.
Select Wi-Fi. For Telstra Smart Modem 1.1 and Gen 2: You'll see Guest tabs for both the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz. For each tab, tick the Enabled option if you want that network to be available. You can also configure your own network name and password, or take note of the name and password generated.
You will need to go into the Admin page of the router. You may need to refer to the router documentation, or contact your service provider for help with this. Separate the channels and re-name the 2.4GHz/5GHz networks with different names i.e. add 2g or 5g to the end of each SSID respectively.
If you only have one network on your router, chances are that it is actually broadcasting on both the 2.4GHz (good for long range) and 5GHz (best for short range) bands and using a protocol called “band steering” to let your device switch automatically.
Once you have accessed the settings page, look for wireless settings or “dual-band” settings. Click on whichever and click off the 5GHz band. Save your changes before exiting the admin panel. You may also have to restart the router for the changes to be set.
Can I choose if my Orbi router broadcasts separate WiFi networks for 2.4GHz and 5GHz? No. Separating the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies into two different networks is not supported at this time. After creating your Orbi's SSID (network name), your Orbi determines whether your device joins that network with 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
For most people, the Wifi router included with the Starlink hardware kit will work just fine. But if you want better performance, more features, or expanded coverage, an aftermarket router is a good upgrade to make.
You will not be able to cut or extend the Starlink cable yourself. Should you want to 'plug in' a device to the system with a cable, such as a Laptop, you will need to order the Starlink 'Ethernet Adapter' which can be ordered only from their website.
Under bypass mode, Starlink router will disable wireless functionality, if you want to switch back to normal state, a factory reset is required. b-1. Under bypass mode, you will need to setup static route on ASUS router in order to use Starlink app.
Before you can use your own 3rd party router with Starlink, you need to purchase the Starlink Ethernet Adapter. The Ethernet Adapter, pictured above, is the accessory that gives you access to an Ethernet port. An Ethernet port is required to be able to connect an aftermarket router to Starlink.
Smart devices are set to work on the 2.4 GHz frequency and will not connect and work on 5GHz. Even though 2.4 GHz carries less information, it has better range than the 5 GHz frequency band.
5 GHz will give you more signal strength and faster speed over a shorter range, compared to 2.4 GHz.
The primary difference between 2.4 and 5GHz bands is the range (coverage) and the bandwidth (speed) that these bands provide. For instance, the 2.4GHz band offers coverage at a longer range; however, it transmits data at slower speeds. Instead, the 5GHz band gives less coverage but sends data at faster speeds.
