HT2000W's 5Ghz radio not working.
Okay. Update.
The neighbors have a newer Lenovo Thinkpad that most definitely does have the ability to connect using the 5Ghz band. It was brought over. It turns out my modem is fine. It connected without issue. We didn't really try anything with it other than just going to Google and doing a quick search. That was enough, though.
I feel like a schmuck. LOL. :(
Clint23Shannon If you have your own router I would just use that instead of using the HughesNet Gen5 built in router. Your router is probably much better than the built in one which is pretty much a low end router. I am not using the built in router myself. I rather use the router I had previously. You can keep all your settings within your router, just plug it into the modem and every thing should work as it did before with Gen4. When you are connected using your previous router go to System Control Center (type 192.168.0.1 in your web browser address bar). Go to WiFi settings at the left of the page the default password is admin if you have not changed it, uncheck the box next to SSID Enable under 2.4Ghz and also under 5Ghz. Clicking save settings after each change.
