MacBook connection problems

Any other MacBook users having problems connecting to WiFi?
We have 2 MacBooks ( 5 years old) and both can’t connect to our Starlink server.
They share asking for Software Update, but when you try you get Can’t Connect To Apple Update Server.
Starlink is fine - both our iPads and iPhones are connected no problem.
Seems to be an Apple problem with their OS.
Done all the usual - restart Starlink, restart Macs, disconnect VPN ( which can’t connect anyway)

A successful update I wanted to share.
After trying everything on the Macbook and Starlink, I wondered if Starlink was not talking to the Macbook.
So I started a Support Ticket found in Account Profile > Messages and a very efficient AI bot walked me thru the problem in no time.
On the Macbook, under WiFi settings, I had to remove the listed DNS servers, then Renew DHCP lease. and issue resolved.
Kudos to Starlink - great AI support!
