Updating on the below incase someone else has the same issue.
It looks like Starlink rolled out a firmware update on Gen1 dish's and that has stopped it working with 3rd party routers. Hoping it's a bug and they fix it promptly.

Hi,
I've had Starlink running perfectly on Opnsense for 18 months and at 3am the other morning it dropped out and I haven't been able to get it to reconnect in Opnsense since.

Hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
It's a Gen1 version.

I've tested the Starlink dish by going back to the Starlink router and it connects and works perfectly.
All using the same cables, just plugged into the original router instead.

I've removed all the Starlink setup from Opnsense and redone all the setup again, but still to no avail.
Below is the section of the logs from when I reboot the dish to when the link goes down.
It's like it connects, then fails.
I know my way around Opnsense and basic networking, but this one has me stumped.

I'm running version 24.1.4 of Opnsense.

Any advice would be thankfully received. I don't want to have to go back to using the Starlink router.

Thanks
Simon
