    Solution that has lasted almost a week.

     

    1. Switched back down to Kodi 17.3

    2. Dropped convenant and picked up others

    3. Watch more on my netflix and vudu accounts

    4. HughesNet did not have my router synced correctly so they reset it.

     

    I started getting great download speed.

Outside rain and snow have no impact on your indoor WiFi unless you are losing a good satellite signal because of it which feeds your WiFi network.

 

Need to try to keep snow off the dish as it can impact your signal. Ice even more so.

 

Like CORROSIVE says, the coverage of your WiFi  indoor signal is on the customer for the most part. The built-in HughesNet WiFi is not powerfull enough to reach all devices in all situations. Even a beefed up system with extenders and such will still have limitiations in certain situations and location of the extender and devices.
