    Hughes VSAT??

    Also with that radio unit you have to make sure you are pointing to a transponder that has opposite polarity. For instance H for receive and V for transmit. You might be able to get a signal on a transmitter that is and H H but you will not be able to cross pol. If you are using a vertical...

    Hughes VSAT??

    That "heat tape as you call it" is designed for this dish. The reflector on the dish has a unit that senses ice build up and kicks a heater on. The tie strap that is around the feed horn is connected to the heating element and deices the LNB. It is perfectly safe and commonly used even in the...

    Do You Really Get 12Mbps?

    6.91 Mbps is High speed. It is faster than some DSL and cable plans in certain areas of the country. If satellite is your only option, be happy that they have finally started offering a decent service speed. A year ago that 6.91 Mbps would have been lower than 691 kbps.

    What Do You Do For Online Gaming

    networking question

    What is the brand of modem, and the brand of router you have? Basically you will go out one of the modem ports to the internet port of the router just like you had it connected before. If the IP addresses are not the same it should work fine.

    So... Is StarBand going to upgrade?

    Hughes is continuing to hold on to the KU band right now. Almost 90% of their Enterprise market is on it. They also want to be able to still support the mobile deployment internet applications as well.

    Gen4 Rumors

    I did a beta today, the second one I have installed so far. The systems are far easier to install then the 9000. Wait time for downloading configuration is 1/4th the time. I cannot wait to try the installation after the Oasis app is released. The best part about the 1000 is the dapt is not a...

    Accessing/Monitoring a HughesNet HN7000 or HN9000 Modem System Pages Remotely

    The only way you could do this is to have a computer with Remote Access connected to the modem. I do this all the time with our routers, firewall, and modems by connecting to our server through a remote desktop connection. You will need to port forward 3389 to the computer you wish to have...

    Static IP with a dual wan router.

    I have the router and services already. I just need to know if there is a way to keep the static IP we have with the DSL see-able from the outside if the DSL router goes down. On our router WAN 1 and WAN 2 do not communicate with each other. I need to know if there is a router that will or if it...

    Static IP with a dual wan router.

    We have a dual wan router with dsl as the primary wan 1 port, and cable as the wan 2 port. The router is enabled to load share as long as both wan's are up, if one goes down the other takes over full control. A public static ip is setup on wan 1 of the router. We have two pieces of equipment we...

    Question about Satellite ISP's

    Hughes could loose all of its residential subscribers and continue to live strong. See a dish on a gas station, pharmacy, etc, chances are its a Hughes dish. They even handle large corporation's terrestrial based networks that are back-boned off of the local cable or phone company, even Evdo...

    HN9000 relocation (how?)

    In my experience, I have seen a customer move only about 3 miles from the original install and probing would not pass, just from that short of a distance. And yes for every 1 uplink beam there are 7 download beams for a total of 112 uplink and 784 download.

    HN9000 relocation (how?)

    The 9000 uses GPS coordinates instead of zip codes. Yes with a 9000 you can go to the system status screen to view the signal strength, and assuming you are in a beam that is the same polarity as the one the modem was originally set up in, you can get signal. However, the modems bootup process...
