GEN 5 Upgrade Problems
Thanks for your help Amanda. I have been monitoring my receiver signal strengh and it has been ranging from 68 to 73. My speed tests show a large variation and exceed 25Mbps in some situations. This is definitly a beneficial upgrade. I look forward to your help in the future.
@@Amanda ................. I do see you are within Beam 55, which is currently in the process of having performance improvements
Are they going to fly up and fix it? Or are you talking about the beam up? I'm confused , Are people on different Beam IDs in different parts of the country? I've been googling around to see if iI could find out, without much success though.
I'd be grateful if you could post a link to some information on this subject?

People are on different "beams." I'm on Beam 68, for example. I'm not sure if there's a reliable map anywhere.
What they're going to do is probably deploy a fix to the system that handles your "beam."

Thanks for your reply.
That's what's confusing me. I thought the system that handled my beam was my dish and modem. I guess it's more complicated than that.
Years ago ( when you are my age ( 71 ) it seems like everything you remember was years ago ) I was having trouble, so I talked to a Directway CS guy, who although he was hard to understand, was very knowledgeable. He talked me through some config changes to the modem that solved all of my problems. Did he have me change my beamid? I don't remember.
Anyway I' still looking for some info on all this stuff.
