- Aedan,
My HT2000W modem is back up to speed. In the morning during bonus data hours l ran a speed test and it was still slow. I re-enabled the 5.0 Ghz network that I had disabled during all of the testing and troubleshooting and as usual it didn't show up on my computer but did on my phone. So l connected to the 5.0 network on my phone and ran a download speed test of 42Mbps! So l switched back to 2.4 on my phone and ran in the 40s. Went back to my computer on 2.4 network and had a download speed of 43Mbps. So really all that was done was disable 5.0, re enable and connect to 5.0 and switch back to 2.4 . Maybe the upcoming firmware update will help. Thanks to everyone for their help and patience.
Connected to the modem with a LAN cable and had download speeds of 40 Mbps. So l got my old Netgear router back out and had wifi speeds in the 40s. Tried resetting and unplugging the modem and download speed using the Hughesnet router will go no faster than 21Mbps. I would like to keep using the Hughesnet router. It had the same speed as the Netgear in the beginning. Any suggestions?
