To answer your questions...
1: I wouldn't bother unless you want a more modern WAP with Wireless-AC and such.
2: Wouldn't hurt to get everything IPv6 compliant.
3: Remote access via IPv4 isn't possible, and remote access via IPv6 is a nightmare at best.
4: Wont work on Hughesnet over IPv4.
5: Remote access in general isn't possible with Hughesnet Residential services.

Only way remote cameras work is if they are cloud based, not peer-to-peer address based. I have two Nest cameras which are cloud based and they work fine. Even so, can't leave them on 24/7 as monthly data will be consumed in a matter of days, if not hours, depending on the definition camera is set to and the movement in the room.
Thanks for the answers. Not exactly what I was hoping for...
After reviewing the links, it seems like remote access is really only possible if IPv6 is used throughout. One message in the link talked about putting an RPi in the system to doing the IPv6 DDNS work so I guess that is an option.
One thing that isn't clear is the willingness of HN to assign static IPs to business customers. Some posters claimed that HN was only assigning static IP addresses for legacy customers. I will be conducting business from this site and will need to VPN into the corp system. Does anyone know for sure that HN will (or will not) assign static IP for business customers?
VPN isn't supported on Hughesnet... If it works, it works, if it doesn't, then well...
As far as static goes... That has a complicated history.. In the past Hughesnet offered static IP to everyone for a fee, however, that changed when Gen4 launched and IPv4 addresses dried up. As of right now, the official word is, Static IP isn't available.
When using my own address to check business account availability, it shows the following....
So, it appears that static IPs are available for Gen5 SME plans.

Edit: Not to confuse you, but Corrosive may very well be right, even though it seems to conflict with what the site says. A rep should be able to give you a more definitive answer regarding SME accounts and static IPs. I'll tag the two that are on here most often so they are sure to see this thread when on again.

I'm showing it also, wonder what it costs. Does seem sometimes the website developers are out of sync with actual availability. WIll be curiuos to see the official response.
