the synology rt6600ax discussed in that thread has a great feature set including VLAN support that asus does not have.

are you saying I need a router with VLAN support? And what router would be synology? And why do I need VLAN? Not savvy on that. Thanks

You don't necessarily need a router with a vlan support but VLAN will allow you to completely isolate your camera network from the rest of your network for an added layer of security.. this is a feature generally not available on home routers. It has many more features that you might find useful I suggest watching a YouTube video or two that goes into detail.

Thank you for the respond. I watched hours of YT video and looked up “best router for Starlink”. It gave me the top choices of NETGEAR, Asus, and TP-link. I haven’t opened the RT-ax86u Pro box yet.

You are searching incorrectly. The router doesn't care who your internet provider is.

Well, I got the RT-AX86U Pro running. But I don’t know if I did it right and I haven’t got it hookup for remote access yet. I gave me an option of hooking up DHCP, PPoE, or Static IP. I couldn’t get Static IP to work. So I used the DHCP. Next, do some research.
I just found out that this router does support VLAN. But I wouldn’t know how to get it setup anyhow.
