Can hughesnet extender be used as a wired extender ?
I bought a hughesnet extender to use with gen5 and the hw2000 modem, for a hundred bucks, unfortunatley It is not enough.. I need coverage about 60 feet away for an rv in a hanger, I would like to us...
Good morning,
Just jumping in here to confirm what Gabe said, our Wi-Fi booster is designed to work wirelessly to extend your network. The LAN port on the booster is only used for the initial setup.
Though I'm not 100% positive, I'm 99.99% sure that the answer is, unfortunately, no. AFAIK, the HughesNet WiFi Booster can only be used via WiFi, as it has to connect to the Booster's dedicated WiFi channel of the HughesNet HT2000W modem in order to operate. There's no way to connected to that channel via LAN cable. :(
A rep should be able to verify this. They're on M-F from approximately 8AM to 5PM EST. They'll reply when they see this thread.
