Hughesnet HT2000W
What is the best off the shelf wireless router to buy then using Hughesnet HT2000W router? I would like to replace it with the ORBI wireless cable modem.
I have a netgear nighthawk x6. I tried to hook it up to the hughesnet HT2000w. However, for some reason, I can"t get the wireless to work or get the internet to connect. Any ideas?
In addition to infinitytec's suggestion, make sure that your Nighthawk's IP is not the same as the HT2000W. If it is, it will cause a conflict and not work properly. Check to make sure that the Nighthawk is set to automatically (dynamically) obtain the IP address.
Also, if you are going to be using your Nighthawk's WiFi, make sure to disable the WiFi in the HT2000W. See "How do I manage my built in WiFi modem?" in the following PDF for instructions on how to disable the WiFi.
