Vicki Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I have very recently installed the residential starlink system. I have also purchased the starlink adapter to be able to add an Ethernet cycle. When I plug the adapter into my router and the Ethernet cable from security cameras…my starlink system goes off line and start putting up a message about needing a VPN. can somebody help me resolve this issue. ThNks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 @Vicki, Not sure what you mean by "...to add an Ethernet cycle"... Do you mean "...to add a wired Ethernet connection"? For now, I'll assume this was your intended meaning. I am not familiar with Amcrest security cameras. Looking at their web site, it appears that they make many different models -- some WiFI (wireless) and some PoE (wired). Also, it appears that many (all?) of their systems include a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which probably requires an Internet connection. It would be very helpful to have more information about your setup. Are your cameras wireless or wired? What device(s) are you plugging into the Starlink Ethernet adapter? One (or more) camera(s)? The DVR? An Ethernet switch to which the camera(s) and DVR are all connected? A wired or WiFI router to which all the devices are connected? Have you tried connecting a laptop or desktop device to the Ethernet adapter to see if you get the same result? Don't forget to... Disable the WiFi connection on the device before connecting to the wired Ethernet connection. Enable the WiFI connection on the device after you're done testing the Ethernet connection. Lastly, how much experience do you have with configuring IP Networks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
