You're welcome and I understand your frustration by not being told about no support for a FAX machine on HughesNet voice service. I'm  a customer also and a Veteran so respect that you are helping others. The good thing about the online solutions I mentioned is that in many cases you can do things directly on the computer and don't even have to print them. This saves paper, ink, toner and such. The cost savings may actually offset any cost for the online FAX service. Will still need a printer with a scanner as I mentioned before but pretty much makes an actual FAX machine obsolete. Of course, will need to keep important things in files if not printed and back them up periodically. Hopefully you already have PDF viewing and editing capability as that is the best and easiest way to handle important documents. Best of luck getting things worked out and thanks very much for what you are doing for Veterans. ... View more

Doesn't fix the issue with the VoIP line not supporting FAX but there are numerous online FAX services which work great. I've used them myself. As long as you have a scanner you can scan documents and send them. You can receive documents in your email that are faxed to you and print them. They assign you a FAX phone number that feeds everything to your inbox and the people on the other end notice no difference. Would think at least one of the service providers would give you some kind of discount for being a charitable organization especially dealing with Veterans. Could explain the situation to them. ...

Why do I have a feeling most of those on daily plans will probably never buy one of these routers anyway. Is good to know how much enabling those services uses though. ... View more

Yea, I pick on him about too much about being a miser but even 200 MB a day seems a bit low to me. I don't have AiProtection enabled but still use 300+ on a normal day.That is with wife doing some YouTube clips though.  ... View more

Thanks Gwalk! Ran a check for updates and there are the ones applicable to my system. A check this morning didn't have any results. Going to download/install now. ... View more

Chris, instead of dropping negative comments in other's posts why not do as Amanda asked here https://community.myhughesnet.com/hughesnet/topics/data-drains-as-soon-as-it-rolls-over?topic-reply-... and start your own post (thread) and try to get some help? BTW: My service has worked well the vast majority of the 12+ years I've had HughesNet. Believe it or not, all their customers don't have terrible service. They definitely would be out of business if that were the case. ... View more

Yes it is still there. The best place to initiate it is here to be sure it goes through alright. Be aware for the first 10-20 days (depending on modem model) you will have unlimited service, the meters will reset daily. So watch carefully what you are using each day before reset so you'll have an idea what to expect when the monthly allowance kicks in. ... View more

OK, that is really cool. ... View more

I have the same stuff on my "cheapo" model and turned those same features off. Don't want anything that lets the router send and receive things behind my back. The usage tools are sweet and has allowed me to know exactly where my data is going. ... View more

Or time for new glasses! BTW, that thing looks like some kind of space ship. Bet it is really nice. My poor man's RT-AC56R has been working well in 1500 sq/ft single story home. ... View more

 I think you're right. Dumb old man.....lmao. I guess treed download folders are too much for him. What's your excuse Gwalk?  😉 ... View more

Lol, and there it is once again. Me thinks you have the data to spare.  🙂 It is top of the line and most likely has lots of bells and whistles my old school RT-56R does not. I think time to change screen name to McDuck. Um, 44 MB according to my screen: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6tx06ijxrcctn/RT-AC3100 ... View more

It monitors usage by device, wise choice old man. Speed is divided among devices when connected at the same time. Again, wise choice old man. ... View more

Downloading Remix Android for PC right now, going to give it a look see. ... View more

M$ seems to think everyone in the world has unlimited broadband internet. Not true even in the US. I'm personally totally done with them. Unless they change their current update model my 8.1 Pro will be the last Windows system I use. If I'm still alive in 2023 I will probably completely switch to Linux. Already have Mint on dual boot and really like it. Of course who knows if that will still be user oriented by then. Things change so quickly. Heck, I may even go with Android if they come out with a good PC OS:  http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/22/11092128/remix-os-android-desktop-mwc-2016 ... View more

I have to add, it is very hard for me to bite my tongue when someone starts lobbying for a class action lawsuit here. What other company allows that sort of thing on their site? I will admit to being a bit short and even condescending to a few when they come in "guns a blazing" as Katie said. I do try to stay with facts though when I do get a bit irritated and try not resort to name calling. I will use the "troll" word though if the shoe fits. I felt obligated to reply since my screen name was hijacked and was mentioned here. ... View more
