IFD + Starlink wifi

I have paid zero attention to the previous discussions of how to integrate the IFD wifi network with other devices because I don't have any of those other devices. But recently I've seen people start flight testing the Starlink Mini and that got me to wondering. Does the IFD wifi networking support Internet passthrough? I'm wondering if there's a way I can have Foreflight devices connected to the IFD wifi while concurrently using Starlink for Internet access. Based on what little I know, I think the answer is "no", but if it is possible, I'd love to figure out how.

That would allow the devices to coexist, and for me to connect Foreflight to both devices concurrently. I don't want to have to reconfigure the IFD if the Starlink is powered down (or out of the airplane), and I'm not sure what happens in the case where the IFD's a client but the host network isn't present.

The IFD is powered up before I start the IFD's in almost every case, but I'd say 50% of the time for whatever reason the IFD creates it's own network, and then I have to go into connections and select the Stratus network and hit connect then everything starts to work again. Prior to the upgrade it almost always connected (everyonce in a while it would drop out in flight for god knows why, then come back)

I'm wondering about this also. I have a different setup. I have an IFD and stratus 3i that both power up off my master avionics switch. So they come on at the same time and sometimes it connects to the internal wifi network. I look under network and the stratus is there, once I reconnect all is good. If I could turn off the ifd hot-spotting or have it look for a longer time before using the internal one it would be great. BTW there is nothing on the main screens to tell me it has done this as the wifi symbol is green and full bars at top right of the screen. Only not the network I want. the first sign it has done this is my Ipads not showing a adsb connection.
