sheldons65 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Today, it powers up and will sort of connect but then goes to OFFILINE, stalled no data. It won't actually establish a data connection via cable or Wifi. All of these internet sources it's connected to are working just fine. I've not made any parameter changes to any of this equipment. It has been working fine for the past couple of years. Currently have been using it with Starlink in Bypass Mode via Ethernet cable, T Mobile M2000 via USB, and Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 over Wifi. Sometimes I've used Multi-WAN but generally just manually switch the Spruce from one of those 3 internet sources as needed. On occasion I may jump on park Wifi no issue. Updated firmware a couple of weeks ago to latest: b14, 7.1.0b14 I've done several power cycles and factory default resets from the WifiRanger web interface. No change. Still no connection. For now I'm just going directly to the Starlink router, M2000 or Nighthawk and have removed the Spruce. Anyone heard of similar issues or a fix? It feels like my Spruce is toast. What do you think? My GoAC sort of went bonkers later on as well. Probably need to start researching a PepWave something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Starlink user myself, I am curious why you bypass your Starlink router. Is there some advantage I am not seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldons65 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I had spent the whole morning with no success. It was all offline. WifiRanger support called me back. I connected up the Spruce and everything is back working like it was before. I didn't really do anything. I don't have safe surf enabled and use several static, my own selected DNS instead of auto. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is all controlled by one router as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the advantage of using another WiFi router rather than the one included with the Starlink system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmeris Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 1 that I know is that the gen 1 and gen 2 starlink routers are AC wifi 5 and not AX wifi 6. Supposed gen 3 is wifi 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the advantage is the ability to run a 12vdc router instead of the the 110vac needed for the StarLink router. I use a Wi-Fi ranger osprey.
