I do have a Direct/TV wireless network also and of course the wireless phone systems....wow- can't wait for the wireless AC to all my electrical applicances :)
Be careful with that DirecTV connection. Connecting DirecTV to Hughesnet is normally advised against as there is no way to control the data the DirecTV receiver uses, and it can use a lot.
I don't use the Direct/TV connection and I don't think just any device can connect to its network, its specifically designed for the wireless Geni Mini's, I can see the network on my devices but cannot connect, and that's just fine.

To add; my old netgear router manager tool allowed me to manage clients so my DTV's I/P address is blocked, I'll check and make sure I still have that blocked, that sucks up so much data and no way to manage who,what and when shows are downloaded
