WAP?  You mean WEP?  Most routers have removed the option to select WEP based encryption because of how easy it is to break. ... View more

Mordacious...  I suggest removing your Facebook URL from your community profile if you don't want people to creep on ya... >.> Also, Mordacious, chill, seriously, the OP has asked you to but out, so take your leave from the thread unless you have anything useful to add to the thread that would apply to the OP or Hughes. ...

No need to apologize Alice, you have a legitimate complaint/issue, and yes, I am sure he did tick you off... I tend to tick people off as well, hence I kinda stay quiet these days and only post if I have something that is certainly helpful to the conversation... Such as telling a certain someone, to just, shat, up. ... View more

Yeah, I used FF almost exclusively till ~2009ish.  Then they started that rapid update crap at some point and it turned me off a good bit as it kept breaking things. ... View more

I kinda have to use firefox for some things... #1 it's all that supports java decently well #2 my new network switch uses a java web-management interface if I want to avoid SSH and PUTTY... #3 pretty much all my network equipment has a web-gui, and Firefox strangely works really nice with all those different web-interfaces... Aside from that, I do everything on Chrome... And it's more than Google that likes to collect information, every website likes to look at all your cookies and history.  To be fairly blunt, I would trust Chrome before I would trust any other browser when it comes to overall security. But I would trust no browser that has unfamiliar add-ons/extensions in their directory... A lot of malware attaches via extensions these days, and is a royal pita to remove. ... View more

...look on the back of the modem for a white sticker (may be on the bottom), it will say Model: HT1100 P/N: xxxxxxx-xxxx, then there will be a barcode, and beside that it will say S/N xx xxxxxxxxxx xx   Type that S/N and post it on here. ... View more

jghsilo, The forum moderators here, Katie, Chris, Amanda, and Liz are corporate employees, they work under ECC (Executive Customer Care) which is the highest level.  So only they will really be able to have your sales call reviewed, phone support doesn't have the capacity, or capability to request sales calls. But, as I stated earlier, they will need either a recent case number, or the modem serial number, in the event that they can't locate your account by the account information you are using to post here. If found that you was lied to, or found that they didn't provide information about a two year contract, they will give you a case number on here, to reference for an ETF-free cancellation most of the time. ...

jghsilo, Your options at this point are A) Request a sales call review to see what was or was not stated during your sales call, if found in your favor, Hughes will typically fully waive the ETF. B) Request a move order which will cost nothing if you haven't previously moved with the system. If you select choice A, please provide a case number, or the serial number from the back of your modem, and PLEASE do not post your SAN/DSS.  Also, please be aware, with the weather that hit the North East (Where Hughes HQ is located) that retrieving and reviewing your sales call may take awhile. If you do cancel, please remember that you must return both the modem, and the transmitter located on the arm of the satellite. ... View more

I am not saying it will work with Hughesnet, but it *SHOULD* work...  It appears the device communicates with a server owned and operated by HoneyWell, at a preset interval and downloads the data needed if it's been changed, will probably use 1MB/day in data if there are no common changes.  If the device is connecting to an outside server, and the tablet/phone connects to that server to manage the device/account, then it should almost always work.  It's when we are trying to connect directly to a device on Hughesnet that we will experience issues. ...

Yeah, I know they do, I have one that I use to help bend PVC and soften other things up, hence I said, don't get it too close to the dish or radio. 🙂 ... View more

Ya know, now that I think about it, one those "heat guns" that are essentially blow-driers on steroids, on the end of a poll might work very nicely if one doesn't get it TOO close to the dish or radio.... ... View more

You will have better luck with Rain-X and a dish heater to be honest. ... View more

Do you happen to have a recent case number so that a CSR can locate your account in the system in the event that they can't locate one by your community name? ... View more

Thing is, gaming is possible on Hughesnet, you just have to understand that due to the nature of satellite technology, latency will always be over 500MS at best, so certain things like Call of Duty would never work while games like Starcraft and Diablo could work. That aside, if you are with in your first 30 days you can cancel with out paying the ETF, but remember to return your modem, modem power supply, and the transmitter located on the end of your dish. ...

That is just how Hughes handles automatic payments, when the bill is generated, they will attempt to bill the card on file on the bill date and not the due date.  If you want to get around this, I suggest calling 866-347-3292  and switching to Invoice billing.  Yes, there is an additional fee for invoice billing. ...

If you are on the 20/50 plan, then that's the highest you can get in your location due to there not being enough capacity in that region. ... View more
