My property was hit by hurricane Helene in NC, USA.
25+ trees down, one landed on my shop building and punctured the roof.
A tree also smashed my green house.
Grid power, Cell phones and internet were all not working.
Text was barely working.
I have a Sol-Ark inverter and 30,000 watts of EG4 rack battery power on my shop building and can back feed power to my house, so I had power the whole time.
I also have 2400 watts of Bi-Facial solar panels and a propane generator that can charge the batteries if they get super low.
Grid power came on 5 days later.
Internet a couple days after that.
Cell coverage went from one bar back to 5 bars.
It was during this disaster period that I decided to upgrade my systems.
I purchased Starlink and it is supposed to be delivered here today.
I bought another battery power system for the house so I will have 60,000 watts of storage.
That system will be here in a few days.
It is a EG4 18k and 6 EG4 5120 watt rack storage batteries.
The rack batteries are all Lithium, Iron, Phosphate that can be discharged down to zero - 7000 cycles.
I would like to run Starlink and my cable internet both at the same time until I decided to cut the cable and use Starlink only.
My question is this:
I have a wired network with 5 PC's, Roku, TV and Home Assistant all on the network.
I have one phone that uses Wi-Fi and Home assistant has smart devices that use Wi-Fi
But I prefer to have wired connections on all other devices.
I have a cable modem that goes into my router and that runs my wired network.
Can I plug the Starlink router into my main router and then select which internet connection I wish to use?
I am a little confused on how to run Starlink internet and my cable internet at the same time on my wired network?
Thanks for any help.
