Hello. I have 2 local subnets. The WAN side of the router has a DHCP server assigned ip of 192.168.13.101.The pc on the LAN side is static 192.168.0.251. I am not able to ping 192.168.13.100 (which is the server i need to talk to) from 192.168.0.251 with my pc when using a static ip but can if I use the routers DHCP to get the ip. I did an ipconfig /all when using DHCP to get the info needed to switch to static. I assume its a setting on the router which currently has the default settings other than changing the LAN ports ip. Thank you.
I would assume you wrote the wrong gateway / subnet mask while setting static IP.

None**strong text**This one here is a bit weird.
What is the 192.168.1.0 network?
That is the starlink routers ip.
Sorry I saw it as 192.168.1.1. yea I dont know what that is.
Having 2 default gateways can cause trouble. Since you don’t know this network, you might remove it by executing route delete 192.168.1.1
C:\Windows\system32>route delete 192.168.1.0
OK!

I disabled the wifi and it pinged…

With the wifi disabled
Unfortunately disabling the WIFI is not an option and the Starlink router is unconfigurable as far as I know.
route add 192.168.13.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.250 /p should do the trick
C:\Windows\system32>route add 192.168.13.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.250 /p
route: bad argument 192.168.0.250
Not sitting in front of PC right now, so try this one:
route add 192.168.13.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.250 /p
The main problem is that you are using 2 different networks - this does not work until you get the metrics / routes right.
You need to set a lower metric for the LAN instead of the WiFi.
This one should be the tutorial to fix this.

It worked 
Thank you. I have forum fatigue from troubleshooting this for 2 days lol… Out of curiosity, why did it work with DHCP? (I had to wait 22 hours to post this)
