I live-stream using Starlink, can I use another router so I don’t lose packets when there’s a satellite handoff?

❓ Question

When there’s a switch between satellites, I get a momentary loss in performance on my livestreams. Frame drops, stutter and lower resolution. Momentary - but enough to grind your teeth at.

Has anyone found a way to fix this? It’s a shame to have 60mb/s+ upload, yet every now and again, when there’s a satellite handoff, I experience these issues.

Here’s my concept/idea (feel free to put it in the mud, or make my year):

Is there a way I can use another router which is plugged into my Starlink one (bypass it) allowing me to prioritise and livestream essentially from the upload stored in the newly connected router?

If that makes sense/if that’s even a thing?
