I have connected only one computer to my Hughesnet wifi. I can not connect my computer directly to the modem as it does not have wired ethernet card. When ever I us testmy.net, I also check my modem status and the signal strength which has been excellent. 126 to 135. The only true I know of in my 2.5 days of testing is time of day. That only allows for two full cycles. It wasn't until early two mornings ago that I became mostly certain that all my equipment and new satellite dish were correctly installed when at 3am it I observed speed in the morning that were 20+Mbps. At that point I turned on an older computer and tried testing the download speed for it. It actually reached a download speed of 30Mbps. After the test I turned the old computer back off. Since that time I have ran speed test more or less randomly in about hour intervals while I use my computer. Do you still think it might be my in house network that is causing the problem and if so could you explain why? As I indicated I have logged onto the wifi with only two devices, both computers and one I have powered down. Continuing to run the speed test for a few more days will I think verify that issue is outside of my control and is most likely due to more users than bandwidth, unless of course there is some type of throttle Hughesnet has on my account. FYI I still have 89% of my allotted data allowance available.
