I wasn't able to find this problem discussed, if I missed it, I apologize. Anyway here it is:
My Dish Remote was working fine across my own local network (to any of 3 different PCs, one at a time of course)

for several months but about 3 weeks ago something went wrong and the whole network went berserk...all the

different devices and computers basically quit getting IP address and wouldn't connect...I assumed it was a

router problem so I bought a new one but it acted the same way...I borrowed a THIRD one (new) from a friend and

it did too so I decided the problem was elsewhere. I spent 2 weeks tinkering with the whole setup...scanning

for viruses, double checking DHCP settings, bla bla bla...nothing seemed to work for more than a few hours then

the whole thing would crap out again but finally I apparently "fixed" whatever was causing the basic network

glitches but my Dish Remote Access would not work with any of 3 brand new -fast- routers. I do plead guilty of

not documenting everything I tried so as a result I do not know what cleared up whatever the problem was. My

bad there. The LAN was fine except for the Dish remote access, I would get either no connection to the VIP722 or

if I did, it would refuse to show anything and just came up with Error 2 or Error 16 or any of a half dozen

other ones...also "your device connected but the connection is not good enough quality to get video"...which

seems crazy because my old SLOW router that I decided to try out of desperation works fine like it used to

except being slow (about 2M throughput) limits the quality of my video stream. I can live with that but it sure

would be nice to take advantage of the faster one. Another glitch I
was getting was (part of the time, none of the problems were consistent!) that on entering either Dish Remote

Access or Dish Online (that last one has never once worked for me at all, with ANY router setup) they would

claim that my 722 was not online and that I should go through menu 6 1 9 2 and reset the connection but it

always says it IS online...shows the IP, the DNS and gateway...I don't know how to make it admit it isn't

connected "properly". This never happens with the old slow FVS router. It's maddening.

The old slow router is a Netgear FVS318 and the best brand new one I tried is a WNDR3700 which works fine on

every device in my LAN which includes 4 PCs and 2 ROKU players but it will not work with the 722 to stream

video. I changed NOTHING except the router and even tried disconnecing every device except the 722 and one PC

to try it and the fast new router simply will not work. It is driving me insane.

I suppose there is some remote odd chance this is a result of a router setting that I have totally overlooked

(or misunderstood) but I have tried 84,377 different combinations and nothing made any difference. If anybody

can point me in a direction to find an answer, I will be grateful and will send you a fifth of beverage of your

choice :-)

Hi, I've been out of town & pocket...at Airventure in Oshkosh, just got home and had some mail...including yet another routher that I decided to try...a D-Link DGL-4100 that came while I was gone. I unplugged my "old reliable slow" Netgear, fired up the D Link and it worked perfectly including Dish Remote access. I didn't even do any configuration, it was right out of the box. I think I will try to avoid the temptation to "tweak" it!!!!!!

I don't think this information is especially helpful, but I said I would let you guys know one way or the other! :D Now I am happy camper.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in!

What about trying again with the 3700 and DD-WRT?
Would love to see if that works where the 3700 OEM didn't..

Please don't think I'm ungrateful, but I used up pretty much my reserve of patience with that thing! I'd be willing to mail the 3700 to you if you want to tinker with it, for research purposes of course ;-);)

If you wanna do that let me know...when you're done you can send it back or if you find somebody who wants it we can cobble up some kinda deal...I've more or less written it off by now ennyhoo...

Hi again, sorry I dropped the ball on this, I've had other stuff going on. As it has turned out, I thought I would try something...disabling the DHCP on this box and trying to use it as a wireless access point (a month ago I didn't have any idea what that meant)...and lo, it worked like a charm. Some of my devices were wi-fi capable but I never had tried to use them that way because a) I didn't have the hardware and b) had no idea how to use them if I did...So I'm still learning. You know, what chafes me is that I've been pretty much of a technophile for decades...I was building ham radio transmitters back in 1960 when that stuff was borderline magic to many people, now I have trouble keeping up with acronyms, let alone their application. Sigh. I suppose that's what I get for becoming an old phart.

don't feel in any way shape or form "bad" about it.. just like for me.. I've been burning on a f-ing openVPN install for two days... either online documentation is incomplete, or you have to cobble two or three different sets of bad instructions to get things together.. no worse for the fact that some steps aren't accounted for, or an acronym goes unexplained, or anything like that..

In the end, burning on problems like this gives us a sense of reward and gives us the ability to move forward to the next nearly impossible task..

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I wonder it they will show the teased meeting (in Origins) with Tony and Gibbs.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
