Better yet, why is there a misplaced image of TestMy where the system tray image showing the app icon should be?

The only way the Usage part is going to stop working is if they alter the modem firmware, because that's what the app talks to for that info. Other parts talk to a server down range. Those particular things might get disrupted with changes at the server (e.g. database info), but I would think the current usage part would remain operational.

I was one of the people that provided some recommended mods to the javascript code. I guess my questions are: 1. How long will the current app continue to operate? And, 2. If no app will replace this one, would it be possible for someone to publish an API so that people like myself could possibly build a replacement (obviously less the token purchase and mailbox capabilities)?

Bigger question is why would 184.53.48.150 (a valid Hughes IP) helo as puget.mtranch.com (an Amazon AWS thing)? The SPF soft fail is a different issue, but an issue nonetheless.

The 5GHz wifi if set for 802.11ac and up to 80MHz bandwidth will be faster than the 2.4GHz wifi set for 802.11g and 20MHz bandwidth. If you then set up one device on the 5GHz and everything else on 2.4GHz you can feasibly accomplish this. Edit: If you're able to, using an ethernet cable to the modem will bea lot more efficient than using the 5GHz wifi and will make use the maximum speed/bandwidth of the modem.

Don't worry about the DKIM as it involves installing personal digital certificates on the mail server that Synacor whould have zero way of implementing. If possible, it's best to let the admins work it with the engineering tech staff as I'm sure this is way beyond the phone support folks. Note to @Liz @Damian @Remy (and anyone else I may have inadvertently left out) feel free to ping me as a reference if you need one.

@Michael57 wrote: Such emails are often blocked or at the very least, routed to spam folders by many email systems. Believe me when I say that I understand the sentiment about spam as I've practically made a hobby into fighting it. However, there's no DMARC policy record telling the reciever to route to spam (quarantine) or just reject it. This is supposed to be interpreted as 'take no action' instead of 'reject'. Edit: That said, I really can understand how some email providers would want to take a strict stance. Most people have no idea that amount of real spam out there because a lot of it just gets routed to /dev/nul. I actually keep a running log of what goes to 'digital heaven' on my server. It's a tremendous problem. OTOH, all it takes is a simple DNS TXT entry with the name '_dmarc' to say something like: 'v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100; aspf=r; fo=0; rua=mailto:_postmaster@hughes.net; ruf=mailto:_postmaster@hughes.net' where p is the policy (can be set to 'reject' or 'quarantine'). Not to mention at least ensuring all mail server IPs are covered in the SPF record. Otherwise I don't even see the point of having SPF if most mail is going to generate a soft fail.

Looks to me that netsolmail.net (your email server at johnsonphoto.com) is likely (and incorrectly) rejecting softfailed SPFs as spam. That said, Synacor, who hosts HughesNet's mail, doesn't seem to have all their valid email servers listed in their SPF record, and is just letting them default to softfail. That's not good either, but it still doesn't absolve Network Solutions (and other receiving mail servers from what I've seen) from rejecting it when there's nothing that recommends either rejection or quarantine in Synacor's SPF record.

Never trust the internet for reality. People make things up all the time. In reality, it looks like the problem is somewhere in Level3's routing through Dallas: traceroute to info.uniden.com (69.15.51.153), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 192.168.42.1 (192.168.42.1) 0.819 ms 0.244 ms 0.208 ms 2 host17433001202.direcway.com (174.33.202.1) 867.467 ms 717.656 ms 582.353 ms 3 host17433005205.direcway.com (174.33.205.5) 583.025 ms 655.036 ms 692.238 ms 4 host17433004205.direcway.com (174.33.205.4) 565.144 ms host174330033205.direcway.com (174.33.205.33) 608.981 ms host17433004205.direcway.com (174.33.205.4) 581.056 ms 5 4.14.190.73 (4.14.190.73) 648.635 ms 830.883 ms 605.327 ms 6 ae-3-5.edge5.dallas3.level3.net (4.69.208.229) 824.552 ms ae-4-15.edge5.dallas3.level3.net (4.69.208.233) 600.699 ms 713.736 ms 7 birch-telec.edge5.dallas3.level3.net (4.59.34.126) 627.027 ms 807.153 ms 968.506 ms 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * * * Level3 is now owned and operated by CenturyLink...

HughesNet does not block ports, however, if it uses SFTP (secure FTP) instead of regular FTP there may be issues with congestion. Satellite internet does not employ any kind of acceleration (either web or TCP) with secure protocols. Another potential issue is that the particular path to wherever you're trying to connect to (uniden?) might be inhibited by HughesNet as part of their home work/school prioritization. It may also be inhibited by anyone on the path for that matter - including the destination. You can try doing a traceroute to see where any hiccups might be.

The brick powers not just the modem, it also powers the transciever on the dish via the cabling. Best not to experiment since both are extremely voltage sensitive. Also, as an aside, power conversion via AC and tapped step-down transformers are a lot more efficient than DC.

Your speed is fine for streaming. The issue is latency. Not all streaming servers handle the latency well and can misinterpret late acknowledgement responses, causing the application to buffer. Unfortunately, high latency is inherent in a satellite internet system and can't be fixed. The round-trip signal distance is approximately 90-95,000 miles which takes a minimum of 500mS to traverse. It is made worse by many users trying to strream, just like you are, creating a massive congestion problem.

There might not be any weather issues where you are, but there may have been weather blocking the downlink between the satellite and the ground station on the west coast. Usually that's what 12.7.1 indicates, that the ground station isn't responding to a ping. You can check the location of the ground station by going here using a computer connected to the modem. It will be the three letters (and three digits) between J2 and HNSIGW in IP Gateway Association State under System Status. Incidentally, the modem will usually perform a software update whenever it re-acquires the ground station. Also, if the signal is going in and out anywhere between you, the satellite and the ground station, it is common to have web acceleration in a backoff state. The key status code was the tranmission issue.

There could be many reasons for packet resends from network time outs to disrupted/intermittently blocked radio reception to a misaligned dish.

Cloudflare acts as the server-in-the-loop and nameserver. It reroutes/caches only webserver type actions: Images, css, and executable javascript (or php) code; and only when addressed through the *testmy.com domain. Anything other than http or https activity just gets passed through, such as pings and (s)ftps. They also won't handle any access that is direct via IP which bypasses them and goes directly to the original webserver.

that's actually very bad for several reasons. Now I'm unsure what Cloudflare is actually caching with testmy and how they calculate it. Since Cloudflare's network is distributed, I'm also unsure what selecting a testmy server location actually does, if anything, since you're really just talking to Cloudflare, not testmy...

@xpnctoc If you just signed up, your usage will refresh periodically for the first 20 days as part of a shakeout period. during this period, your usage will be erased and you will show the maximum amount of your plan. After the 20 days are over, you will see more accurate results. Since this is how it works for people in their first 20 days and not after 3 months, I don't see how it's even possible that @ballast has the same problem, despite the claim.

Network speed isn't an issue with teleconferencing, latency is. There's nothing you can really do about it because the round trip from you to the satellite, down to the groundstation, and back is around 90-95,000 miles. Given the speed of light that dictates the time it takes for a radio transmission to traverse that is about a half a second minimal for one ping for you, then again to whomever you're talking. So, not only are you basically streaming in both directions, your responses will always be lagged by a number of seconds, that is if the servers don't timeout. Bottom line: That's really suboptimal for regular chatting, let alone a formal interview where you're trying to make an impression. You're better off finding another way.

Not odd at all when you consider how the routing/combining/translation of satellite internet works at the beam, up/downlink, and groundstation. In fact, because of all the malicious IP-scanning (mostly looking for IoT devices) going on, I'd practically call it a security feature. I know for a fact that the Chinese have been scanning the internet indiscriminately looking for devices running think.php to hijack.

Operative word is "different environment". This satellite network uses a double-NAT. This would explain being able to access it locally, but not remotely. That said, recommend using a surveillance system that utilizes an intermediary cloud for sending/storing imagery, which then may be retrieved remotely.

@EMZ An SPF softfail just indicates that although the from, smtp, and transitional domain (that one is actually kind of weird) was not specified within the SPF entries of the host's (Synacor) DNS record, that the email receiver should neither quarantine nor reject the email as being inauthentic. Either the reciever has set too stringent SPF requirements, or they rejected the email for another reason. Edit: Plus, as has been said (and seen), jumping in on someone else's issue with a completely unrelated 'me too' has the possiblity of confusing the original poster's issue (and the original poster). If you have something to add, please create your own thread where it can recieve the appropriate attention.

@Bigquiet1 It's possible that your gateway is unavailable due to weather between it and the satellite. Otherwise, gateway sites frequently get maintenance updates during the bonus period and become unavailable during that time. Usually it will come back within about an hour when the update (if successful) is completed.

Sounds like extreme lags from a CenturyLink-connected gateway. Usually the dropouts are about a minute from CenturyLink. If they're getting longer than that there might be more to it, such as multiple CL nodes in the path causing concatenated gaps.
