Does Gen5 allow a public IP Adress and port forwarding?

I use IP Centcom App on Windows phone to access my DVR to view curveillance cameras. With Netgear router I used IP address and forwarding port 80 and 554. I am at a loss with Gen 5....Eddie

    If you already had a Router I would just use that.  Turn off all WiFi on the HughesNet Gen5 modem by going to WiFi Settings and uncheck the box next to SSID Enable for 2.4Ghz and also for 5Ghz.  (Save after each).  Then just plug Your router into the HughesNet modem, all your old settings with your Router will be the same as before.  (I am pretty sure this will fix your problem but not exactly sure).    If your PC needs to be Ethernet plug it into the Modem itself NOT the Router.

You used the IP address the satellite assigned you, and then just forwarded 2 ports to view your NVR???

As previously stated, HughesNet uses dynamic IP addresses, not static IPs.  The IPs are also shared between multiple users.  The IP assigned to you is temporary and changes often.  

 

If you require a static IP, they are offered for the Business Plans.
