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.
In addition to infinitytec's suggestion, make sure that your Nighthawk's IP is not the same as the HT2000W. If it is, it will cause a conflict and not work properly. Check to make sure that the Nighthawk is set to automatically (dynamically) obtain the IP address.
Also, if you are going to be using your Nighthawk's WiFi, make sure to disable the WiFi in the HT2000W. See "How do I manage my built in WiFi modem?" in the following PDF for instructions on how to disable the WiFi.

Or set a static address for the new router on the Hughesnet modem.
Thanks! Im going to work on this now. I will let you know if I have further questions. I went back to the HT2000W last night and no one could play a game on it. I am not sure why it was like that when we had internet with ATT and it was only 15Mbps and three could play at the same time while streaming tv!

Are they online real-time multiplayer games? If so, the 600ms ping practically makes that impossible on HughesNet. If it is just downloading something, you may want to turn off or pause the video data saver.They are online gamers...we have never had satellite internet before. We just moved waaaaay out to the country and this is the only option we have for anytype of internet.
