Does Gen5 allow a public IP Adress and port forwarding?
If you already had a Router I would just use that. Turn off all WiFi on the HughesNet Gen5 modem by going to WiFi Settings and uncheck the box next to SSID Enable for 2.4Ghz and also for 5Ghz. (Save after each). Then just plug Your router into the HughesNet modem, all your old settings with your Router will be the same as before. (I am pretty sure this will fix your problem but not exactly sure). If your PC needs to be Ethernet plug it into the Modem itself NOT the Router.
My problems with this new Gen 5 Modem/Router got worse. My DVR which has been connected with ethernet cable to modem was working well but is no longer recognized. I have two ethernet cables to the modem. One to PC and one to DVR. Looking at the Modem back the good connection has two yellow flashing lights and one steady yellow light. The connection to DVR not being recognized has two yellow flashing lights and one steady green light. I have attempted switching and disconnecting and re-booting etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
