Hughesnet HT2000W

What is the best off the shelf wireless router to buy then using Hughesnet HT2000W router?  I would like to replace it with the ORBI wireless cable modem.

  • I don't think a third-party modem is compatible with HughesNet. You could get another wireless router and hook it up to the HT2000W.

    You must use the HughesNet modem with HughesNet service.  No other modem is compatible.  However, as stated by infinitytec, you can use a 3rd party router along with the HughesNet modem.

      I have a netgear nighthawk x6. I tried to hook it up to the hughesnet HT2000w. However, for some reason, I can"t get the wireless to work or get the internet to connect. Any ideas?

        Double-check to make sure the ethernet cable connecting the two devices is coming into the new router's internet connector.
