Unsure what you mean by 'won't run'. When started, it's supposed to put something along the lines of a widget in your status bar: 1. Do you mean that's not happening? 2. Or, when you right-click on the widget there's no menu? 3. Or, when you click on a menu item, no window appears?

'Aloha transmission is unsuccessful' Technically, it means the transmitter is sending a beacon but it's not getting ack'd back. Edit: One possibility for the error is an erratic problem at the gateway if there is a trend, so it could be that.

@DonB The OPs problem with the Usage Meter sounds like an installtion issue. Yours is different. Here's how to fix it: Under some circumstances, the configuration and cached information that the Usage Meter needs to operate gets corrupted. In the event that this happens: 1. Fully quit the Usage Meter from it's own menu by clicking on the donut in the menubar and clicking "Quit". 2. Look for the following directory Windows: C:\Users\[your User name]\AppData\Roaming\ Mac: /Users/[your User name]/Library/Application Support/ 3. Carefully delete just the "HughesNet Usage Meter" directory under that and empty the trash. 4. Restart the Usage Meter. This will regenerate all the underlying information as if it were run for the first time, thus correcting the error. Disregard other recommendations that say to uninstall and reinstall the app and/or update Java as those do absolutely nothing to fix the problem. Uninstalling doesn't delete the directories above. Likewise, the application is written in JavaScript which is completely separate from Java, which of itself is a stand-alone runtime environment. The only reason you should possibly uninstall something is if you are not running the current version, have inadvertently deleted part of the application, or have the older "HughesNet Status Meter" still installed. Uninstalling the older Status Meter and using the most recent version of Usage Meter is highly recommended.

Beam 53 is Boise, which has had good weather for a while, so it's not from that. 12.7.1 might be a couple of things: 1. Check to see that the power plug is firmly seated in the back of the modem. If it's loose, carefully push it back in and see if the problem corrects itself. 2. Make sure the other end is firmly in a wall socket and not in a surge protector or surge protecting power strip, as those might drop it below nominal power levels. 3. Also make sure the wall socket is part of a power circuit intended for lights and not heavy appliances (washer/dryer, heating unit, etc.), as those may cause a power drop as well. Edit: If correcting any of the above doesn't fix the problem, you may need service requiring a technician.

Lol... Technically what I just descried was where all spam comes from in general. Zombies are usually generated from viruses and malware: Basically clicking on links in emails, images downloaded in emails (<- never, ever have your mail client automatically download images in an email), and sketchy web sites. Zombies tend to come from people's infected computers, phones, and tablets rather than server sites (spamhauses).

I think they actually stay late to re-break old ones and create new ones, personally.

@maratsade wrote: I rebooted out of curiousity, but rebooting didn't change the IPGW ID. Is it supposed to? The ID has been the same since installation, and reboots don't change it at all. I think it depends upon the level of congestion at the time. For example, if I'm seeing slowness on 0104, I may reboot and end up on 0109: J2SDO068HNSIGW0109. I've seen it go as high as 0110, where previously it went only up to 0106 or 0107 - likely a result of expanded capacity. That said, I think there are certain state codes (30-series perhaps?) that when the duration is longer than a certain time period seems to automatically initiate the re-association process. Have seen it do this before, but not as much lately. Then again, I may be reading way too much into all of this... I just know that re-associating to a different IPGW seems to alleviate any slowness due to congestion after all is said and done, as many on other beams have found out.

Indeed. On 5GHz wifi (WPA2, 802.11a/n/ac, 20/40/80) my LAN throughput is 171.94Mbps. I assume LAN cable is similar. On 2.4GHz wifi (WPA2, 802.11b/g/n, 20/40) is much worse at only 13.94Mbps.

@pswired I don't know what 'no effect' means. Did it re-associate to another IPGW ID and the problem persisted? Or, did it come back to the same one and nothing changed? If it's the latter, try rebooting again.

a. We know. We've seen it all over the forum. b. You're not being ignored, you just think you are. They're working it. Seriously. There are 17 gateways dispersed across the US, and 97 distinct beams. Chill. Out.

It's possible that chat is only manned between specific hours of the day. Is there a question you need to ask before upgrading? If not, you can probably do it right from the Shop/Upgrade menu above.

If you like, an admin (read: Hughes employee) can have your sales call reviewed for misleading comments. The majority of us here are not employees and cannot effect that.

They may have also been working on things. My mail biff, which updates once every 5', was having issues connecting to the mail server. That's usually an indication of work going on in the background.

One more item... LEOs only provide faster latencies of around 25ms. The 1Gbps estimated for a SpaceX bird is the rate for an entire beam equivalent. That ultimately gets split up amongst users.

Nowhere on their site do they offer 150GB. Perhaps you saw their 'unlimited' up to 25Mbps plan for $150/mo. And if you read their description of 'unlimited' it really means they can drop the speed to 1-5 Mbps at any time.

Not really, because I'm now running 57.0.1 (64-bit) and have no issue with HughesNet mail. Have seen other weird things from other plugins (like what I saw with ABP on iFit), but not specifically caused by the browser itself. Could be that they're just not acting correctly in Quantum? Don't really know. Everyone's configuration is different.

Not to be pedantic, but I think you mean JavaScript, which is what web sites use to automate their pages. It's not the same as Java, which is a stand-alone run time environment outside of your browser.

Where do these spams come from? They come from lists, compiled from scammers that compile lists like this: --------8<---------- Hi , DivTECH LLC is the world's most comprehensive directory of business information on people and companies. As part of our commitment to your privacy and your ability to control online information about yourself, we wanted to let you know (or remind you) that your business profile has been included. Profiles are created in an automated process using publicly available information on web sources and contributions from the community. As a member of our directory, we would like to share valuable and relevant industry news with you from time to time. In addition, we often have the opportunity to supply information about interesting products and services from business partners, and we will occasionally share your email address with them if we think the information will be relevant to you. As always, DivTECH respects your privacy and email communication preferences. All DivTECH email communications contain easy opt-out links so you may quickly and securely unsubscribe from receiving these emails at any time. If you would like to opt out your email address from our business directory. Thank you for your time, DivTECH LLC DivTECH LLC, PO Box 182, Weymouth, MA, 02190, United States If you do not want to receive emails from DivTECH LLC you may unsubscribe at any time. --------8<---------- The company is listed as a valid marketing company, and has a presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. It likely scans and collects email addresses from both sites. From all appearences this looks like a valid 'opt out' email, until you see that the From: <noreply@divtech-email.net>, and the Return-Path: <bounce@elgprovider18.com> don't match. The email traces back to a domain of smtp124.emailtrack97.com which passes the SPF authorization test, but is under a domain parent of 'Clickback Inc.', a known spam generator. Bottom line: Clicking that link to 'unsubscribe' (I've removed it here) does nothing more than to verify your email address for even more spam. Ignoring it is the safest thing to do since it neither confirms nor denies your existence.

Not sure if you've noticed, but they've added a bunch of new servers to Beam 68. If you're having slowness issues, try rebooting the modem to re-associate to one of the lesser congested ones.

Just had an interesting time with the iFit site where the dashboard wouldn't load and some pages would lock up and not scroll. Reboots didn't fix it, so it's not a DNS issue. Turns out the new AdBlock Plus is actively blocking a whole lot more than it used to. And not consistently, either. Going to My Email from the menu here, ABP showed 4 items blocked but doesn't say exactly what they are. It's quite possible that depending on the settings it may be interfering with the Javascript required for HughesNet's web mail to operate correctly. For comparison, I have mine set for: Block additional tracking Allow acceptible ads More filters: AdBlock custom filters, Malware, Spam404.

I used my unlimited LTE and started watching Game of Thrones through the beginning of this season... Lots of GB right there. And since I only get two bars on my phone here I suffered a bit with stalling, pixelation, and buffering every now and then. It was like the old rabbit ears trying to get a good TV signal. Lol, the more things change...

I probably should have interjected, since I don't stream very often either. When I have, I used the HBO Go or Showtime Anytime sites as well. I'm not certain, but DirecTV acts like a portal, putting those streams in one place, however there have been a couple of times where I had a lot of trouble getting the DTV site to work. When I do stream, I mostly latch onto my phone as an LTE hotspot so as not to eat away at my Anytime data. Other times I will download locally and bring the MacBook downstairs and tie my laptop into my AV system via HDMI. Can take advantage of HD as well as 5.1 audio that way. The MacBook is also my Plex server, which I've mostly used for audio. I've tried pumping movies through it but it was real sluggish through my old router, which was only 2GHz 802.11g. Have not tried doing that or pumping 5.1 DTS WAVs thru it since using the 2000W (wideband 802.11ac would help a lot with those)... somthing to play with once it gets colder out.
