Starlink and traffic distribution via rules-based routing
Starlink and traffic distribution via rules-based routing
Hello, your setup is feasible. You can configure your edge router to handle different traffic types—prioritizing low-latency wired connections for gaming, voice, and VoIP while routing other activities like streaming or file downloads through Starlink. This requires setting up load balancing or policy-based routing rules on the router. Let me know if you need guidance on configuring those settings.
You can direct traffic using its port, protocol, source, or destination, but this becomes complicated if you're unsure about the ports, protocols, or destination IPs your services use. It won't work without a recent OpenWRT, DDWRT, or Tomato-compatible router. It's better to think about MAC address or LAN IP routing instead of tackling such a large project.
