It's a great feeling when everything works!
Today I reconnected the remaining four webcams to Gen5 Wi-Fi 2.4G with the modem UPnP disabled. So far all five webcams are working properly with the Gen5 modem. Whew! Thanks again to everyone who suggested that fix.
Hopefully HughesNet Technical Support will add the UPnP disabling troubleshooting technique to their standard checklist. If I had been informed by Tech Support about this known UPnP issue when I called them on 7 July I would not have wasted so much of my time troubleshooting the issue and getting so frustrated with Gen5 since then.
I understand there a software update being rolled out that hopefully fixes the UPnP issue. For now I am leaving UPnP disabled.
Update on the Wi-Fi 5G: it has been stable for the past two days. Maybe a recent software update fixed that issue.
It's a great feeling when everything works!
