Google Nest Wifi Speed Paired With Starlink Slower Than Connecting Directly

[BPreston81]

I live in a rural area and use Starlink for internet. I have a Google Nest Wifi Router plugged into the Starlink router and 4 access points including one Nest Wifi point and 3 Google Wifi Routers. They all communicate with each other fine but I find the speed is about half when connected to the Google Wifi versus connecting directly to the Starlink Wifi, even when sitting in the same room as the main Starlink router and Google router. Any ideas on how I can improve the speed of the Google network? I really don't want to have to breakdown and buy the Starlink mesh routers to replace the Google setup since I already had all of them before we got Starlink. Thanks for the help!

Have you wired into the Starlink with the Starlink ethernet adapter? Do you have the Starlink in bypass mode?

You’re a lifesaver. I didn’t have bypass mode on. We are connected via the Starlink Ethernet adaptor. But turning on bypass mode immediately improved the speed. Thank you!
