Hidden Network

This is probebly crazy, but I'll ask anyway.   Is the Gen5 modem-wifi creating a hidden network? I've been noticing it every time that I turn on wifi on my Wondows 10 Surface Pro 3.   When I unpl...

    Yes the signal is coming from your HT2000w...  You wont be able to connect to that signal, and the signal is disabled if you disable the Wifi on the modem.  

    It's kind of like the USB port on the back of the HT1100... It's there for "future use", but, we have no idea when or if that future will ever come. :)

    First question asked about hidden network. After thinking about it I asked 2 more questions.

     

    I do not believe that Hughesnet is being transparent. I do not buy that they can do what they want and we have no choice.

     

    When members ask specifically about the "Hidden Network" no explaination is given.

     

    The "supposed experts" on this forum also have no answers as to the "hidden network". They chose to attack members wanting to know what is going on. WHY?

     

    I'll just leave it at that.....

Radio signals are very quirky especially at high frequency micro wave like WiFi at 2.4 and 5 GHz. Who knows, maybe a big rock or tree is making the difference. But no, you are not crazy.

 

Something about your Gen 5 modem and neighbor like each other. 

 

Again, these frequecies are very quirky when it comes to reception.
