I do think you need the app and a phone for at least 5 minutes. I did the initial power up and setup with that, and after 5 minutes of verifying it worked, replaced the starlink provided router with my own. Anything that is an ordinary 1000BaseT 1500mtu DHCP client will get an address when connected to the PoE injector.

The weird angled router they had out is just a convenience for non technical consumers who want an all in one 802.11ac box. The app on the phone also does the very basic first time setup step of defining an SSID and WPA2-PSK key.
