Status Meter
Did HughesNet stop supporting my older version of the status meter? For whatever reason it doesn't think there's a modem connected to my main computer. I've recently gotten a couple new systems and...
Wow! When I checked the system status I can get the same info. That's new to me as well. Thanks again!
Good to see some other Mac users...
I started a thread a while back about recommendations for the next Status/Usage Meter here: https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/Tech-Support/Recommendations-for-next-version-of-Usage-Meter/td-p/78162/jump-to/first-unread-message
Unsure what the status is, but I'm pretty sure it's getting some notice, so all of these things may be put back in the next version when it's released.
Best advice until then is to manually uninstall the version you are using, then download and install v6.6.1. I'm not totally sure the new version will overwrite/automatically uninstall the old one since the name changed, so always good to uninstall the old one to avoid a version conflict.
Hope this helps.
The thing is that I'm running 6.6.1 and it's not functioning. Maybe I'll try a reinstall and see if that works.
Anyone got a link for 6.6.1?
hmmm... very strange. I've seen an instance where if you are using a 3rd party DNS (e.g., Google's 8.8.8.8) then using the default modem address in Settings won't work correctly. Just to be sure, is it set to 192.168.0.1? <- meaning, the default modem address, not the DNS.
If you still need it, you can download from My Account -> Usage above, or directly at http://my.hughesnet.com/myaccount?_udreq=1&tab=Usage.
That's a good link Mark. Looks like I'll just use it for now and hope HughesNet incorporates the previous features into future versions. Thanks for your help.
