I am still having some issues. It seems to me like Latency in the DNS. My download speeds are great, but when I am surfing pages I often get a timeout or no DNS error. sometimes if I just wait the page will load after a minute. Other-times I have to reload the page, sometimes several tries. Once it starts loading the rest of the page is usually really fast. Loading these forums took many tries.It doesn't do it all the time, sometimes it works as expected. I have been using Hughesnet for a long time, so i am pretty familiar with the normal latency. This is much worst than usual. I have seen issues like this before with SSL pages. I had not thought of it till now, so i hadn't been looking. I will try to keep track and see if there is something common with the pages that are especially slow. This site (myhughesnet.com) was really slow and it is HTTPS, so maybe something with that. I was having issues like this off and on before. It got really bad before the hardware failed. I was hoping the new hardware would fix it. It's better that is was a month ago, but not quite right.
I have had the modem freeze three times now. Hughesnet status meter pops up and says it cannot find the modem. Twice it came back after a little while without doing anything. The other time the transmit light was off and the other 4 were on but none of them flashed at all. I left it for 4-5 minutes with no change and then cycled power. I noticed that the the modem was changed, but not the power supply. I will test to make sure the power supply voltages are stable and correct. I have seen many issues caused by bad power supplies in my work.
In the past when I had problems with HTTPS pages, that didn't go away after 10 mins or so, I found that resetting the turbo page would sometimes fix it for a short time. It hasn't gotten bad enough to try that yet. Pages seem to load, it just takes a long time to get through the DNS lookup and initial page contact. Long enough to time out and error with No DNS or page not found errors on the browser.
I am working with my PC connected direct to the modem. I didn't see ant difference with or without the router. I'm not sure if it matters, but I have an assigned IP from Hughesnet on my modem. I know that isn't common, so maybe it makes a difference.
