Overall Internet
First off, let me say that I completely hate the HughsNet internet / streaming. I live in the middle of what used to be a horse pasture, with no trees around me at all. There should be no interference because of this. From the get go, almost 2 years ago, we haven't been able to stream ANY television and the internet has been even worse at times. I have trouble opening the internet on a daily basis, whether it's night or day. I'm constantly reconnecting or even restarting altogether. So if the ads say HughesNet is great for country people there's no truth to it. Some people may like it, but I don't. So I'm here to tell you all that in August when my contract is up, I fully intend to cancel this and try something else. Mike from Farmerville, Louisiana
iPhone connects to external router but does not get internet - nat or some setting issue???
My sister's old Belkin router died and she has tried to replace it with both an Asus and a Netgear router and has the same problem with both. We call tech support last night and they could not resolve her problem. She is on Gen4 using a Hughes Jupiter HT1100 which does NOT have builtin wifi, so she connects to an external wifi router for that. Her computer is cabled to the router. Her HP printer connects wirelessly to the router (both tried) and works, and iPhones connect to the router, but do not connect to the internet. The routers show the iPhones as attached devices, but the iPhones say "no internet connection, If this is your Wi-Fi network, try restarting the modem and the router, or contact your ISP." This has happened with an iPhone 9, 12 and 13 with current and most recent prior IOS software. She recalls much difficulty getting the old Belkin to work at first requiring calls to tech support, but she doesn't recall the details, and the Belkin died so we could not see how it was set up. We have searched Apple, Asus and Netgear forums and have not found the exact answer. Some similar problems with cable modems and routers have mentioned "double NAT" as a problem, and to use "bridge mode" but they were not clear answers. Has anyone come across or solved this?
roku, streaming, hulu, vudu, Netflix
my roku reads my speed as 0 or somtimes 1Mbps, when I do speed test on my phone I get 35 Mbps 1ms latency. However I cannot load Vudu at all, I have to sign in to hulu evertime and then hit retry several times before it will load, and now Netflix is acting up. I don't know what to do. Should I but a new roku if so which one? I was wondering if the roku with the ethernet port would work better instead of using my wireless connection like I do now? Please help thank you
