westbo Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 Hi all, I am looking to source an affordable third party router for our two MacOS home computers to connect to wireless laser and inkjet printers via WiFi. This router would be separate and NOT connected to Starlink WiFi. 1. Would there be any interference issues? 2. Any router recommendations? Thanks!

RicochetStarlink Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 Why not use the Starlink Router's WiFi network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbo Posted March 8, 2024 Author Share Posted March 8, 2024 I would still need an adapter and another router in order to connect with any printer. I would prefer to keep them separately and toggle between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted March 10, 2024 Share Posted March 10, 2024 I'm certain the macOS devices have WiFi. From what you said, it seems like both of the printers may be WiFi-ready, too. Can you not connect them all to the Starlink Wifi? Are the printers on the 2.4GHz Wifi band or 5GHz? If you just want to create a separate WiFi network that is not connected to Starlink at all, you can use pretty much any WiFi router you want. My biggest concern would be to ensure that the Starlink Wifi and the third-party WiFI are on different WiFi channels. Starlink doesn't let you control that, so you'd need a third-party router where you can control the WiFi channel selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
