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. :)You'll pardon my "clueles banter", but tone is as tone does.
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.

I have my SSIDs broadcasting, so I knew it wasn't anything to do with that. The signal is so strong that I knew it wasn't a neighbor.
I read something about some providers creating a hidden network to speed up the wifi, or something like that.
Thanks again for solving my mystery hidden network!
Honestly, have zero idea what the Hidden Network could be used for, no telling with Hughesnet.
I have the same 'hidden network' that just began showing up everytime I turn on my hughesnet modem/router. I'm not fine with this explanation. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours and they just keep saying they can't help me because they can't see the hidden network on their end.
I want it gone! It wasn't there 3 days ago and I want it gone now. I'm sensitive to wifi signals so I have turned all but 1 of the 2.4g wifi connections off in my modem's administrative area. I am not able to access or turn off the hidden network. I don't want it broadcasting through my home for 'future use'. That is not okay with me and I will report Hughesnet to the Federal Communications Commissioin if it doesn't get turned off very soon!

I finally got someone at Hughesnet to admit that this hidden network was put on my modem by them in a recent update and that it can not be removed... I didn't agree to have this hidden network that I am not in contol of to transmit through my house when I signed up for service! I want it turned off or I want my service cancelled with no penalty at all.
