Hello coogen,

 

Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues getting your Nest product set up on our service. I would try toggling the UPNP feature to see if that makes a difference. You can find instructions here  https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/Tech-Support/Resolution-for-Connecting-to-Certain-Websites-Xbox-Connectivity/m-p/77058/thread-id/55018. Please let me know if this helps.
