GL-MT3000 and Starlink slow speeds

Technical Support for Routers
1

I have a GL-MT3000 working with a Yaosheng POE and V2 Starlink Dishy running on 12v DC.

Its been working okay for about 8 months, but has always randomly dropped internet connection over wifi and requiring rebooting router a few times a day.. but the speed was always 50 to 100+ mbps.

Recently the speeds have been below 1mbps, when the starlink test to the dish is showing above 150mbps. Testing with the original AC starlink shows speeds above 200mbps when getting obly 500kbps when using the MT-3000.

I have searched and followed advice to disable network acceleration which has not helped.

Another thread advised to cap speed at 100mbps. But I am not sure how you do this. Can someone breakdown the steps on luci so i can try this please?

This issue probably is related to the compatibility of the POE adapter, some people have tried to change new one, and found the WAN link works well.

If not change the POE adapter, can manually mandatory static the WAN negotiate rate in the SSH:

#Check what the WAN port name is
ifconfig

#If the WAN is eth1, and static to negotiate rate in 1000Mbps
​ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full
