Does Gen5 allow a public IP Adress and port forwarding?
I use IP Centcom App on Windows phone to access my DVR to view curveillance cameras. With Netgear router I used IP address and forwarding port 80 and 554. I am at a loss with Gen 5....Eddie
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.
I can access my Honeywell thermostat in other cities and change temperature etc. Just installed a Samsung security system downloaded WiseView on my phone, paired them with a QR code on the DVR menu and watched the cameras from my doctor's office. Just saying.

Many manufacturers have servers through which the devices communicate over the internet. My Nest devices also communicate through the internet fine without public IP addressing.
It is devices that try to comunicate directly with each other over the internet that run into problems without the end user having a static public IP provided by the ISP.
