Starlink Remote Struggles. Any Solutions?

in Remote Operation (SmartLink)
I'm attempting to set up a remote shack using my Flex 6700 in a home that has Starlink service. I've read everything I could find on the subject here, and elsewhere. I was prepared to deal with the CGNAT headaches and I've done all that has been suggested, at least that I've found so far. Specifically, I have:

* upgraded to Starlink "Priority" service
* enabled the Public IP option
* am using a third party (Asus RT-86U) router, with Express VPN enabled
* enabled TCP & UDP port forwarding on ports 4994 & 4993.
* registered my rig with Smartlink
* set up manual port forwarding in the Flex (automatic wasn't working either)
* rebooted my rig and modem multiple times and ...

I am still getting the dreaded "red light" of despair.

I don't want to do a factory reset on my modem, as I will have to start from scratch. I would also like to stick with the modem and VPN I have, if at all possible.

Clearly, I am missing something.

Any suggestions?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
