I don't follow this. What difference would using a router make?CoachGibbs said:...it's horrible most of the time, especially if you like to use a router.

^^^^ i agree.. there is no difference in using a router or not with Wildblue. Unless some of your router settings need to be tweaked.skyviewmark said:Don't understand the router comment.. Router makes no difference in the workings of Wildblue.. I would check my router if I were you if you are having problems. .
Due to continued high demand for WildBlue services WildBlue will be suspending new customer orders in the following beams as outlined. WildBlue has taken this step to ensure quality service levels for current WildBlue customers in the affected beams. WildBlue plans to reopen these beams after hardware and software upgrades are implemented to the WildBlue network that will increase capacity and performance. WildBlue’s plan is to reopen these beams and others after the upgrades are complete in early December.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation regarding these suspensions and encourage you to enter as many orders as possible prior to the suspensions as those orders entered will be able to be installed after the suspensions take place. The suspensions in these beams will be relatively short -- about 30 days and we hope the disruption to your business is minimal.
c) Beams 29 (New England area) and 34 (Oklahoma area) will stop taking new orders 6pm MT, Tues Oct 24.
d) Beam 13 (Idaho/Montana area) will stop taking new orders 6pm MT, Wed Nov 8.
We are confident that this is a short term issue and will be behind us after the successful launch and activation of the 2nd satellite WILDBLUE 1. The satellite is scheduled for launch in early December and activation starting sometime in March.
We have had WB & Dish (Bronze) at our country cabin since May. They both have worked as advertised (once the Dish was realigned to improve the signal on Sat 129 and Dish quit futzing with the 622 software). BUT...skyviewmark said:... Wildblue is an impressive product for those people living outside cable and dsl areas. It just doesn't stack up to what is offered by hardwire. But for those that have been using a dialup and no hope of anything else it is wonderful to them.
Stargazer said:> I could have it at two locations by just taking the modem with me when I go from one location to another but I would have to pay for the second satellite dish and installation of that satellite dish.
yeah, supposedly... they still have activations shut off and last I was told it would be early November before they restart taking new activations...
