Re: Guest WIFI connects to wrong IP and subnet
Are you certain it's 43 and not 42? I can't speak for every configuration, but I believe on newer HughesNet systems, the 192.168.10.0/24 block is reserved for locally connected devices (such as the WL3000 and quite possibly the mesh units) in the routing table. The 192.168.42.0/24 block is reserved for user devices, which is why DHCP is defaulting to that. Therefore, anything routing through the wifi or ethernet ports should conform to 192.168.42.0/24 IPs. I may be remembering it wrong, but I think it's been this way since they moved to the HT3000W modems. I would not recommend messing with the modem's routing table, because it could feasibly render the local LAN unusable and then require tech support to get it working again. This is especially true if you use the wifi to administer the modem.44Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mail Delivery System, Mail delivery failed:
Delete it and forget about it. It's likely a fake bounce message being used by scammers to get you to verify your email address to them. If you were able to check the content you'd probably see that the email they're complaining about did not originate from IP related to HughesNet's email servers. The alternative explanation is that you have malware that is acting as a spambot, but that's not as likely. Those usually forge the From: email address to be something other than your actual address so the bounce message would have gone somewhere else.81Views0likes0CommentsRe: I saw Hughesnet is ending, Starlink suggested. Is this true?
If HughesNet's business history tracks, they've never shut anyone off unless a particular satellite was going out of service and the user didn't upgrade. Revenue is still revenue and cash is king, and those satellites still have to recover costs. I really doubt they'd turn off an existing known revenue stream, thinking they can make it up with an unknown market projection. Based on that I'd be willing to think the plan would be to discontinue any future residential service applications in favor of focusing on business terminals. As long as residential customers continue to pay and remain on contract they'll just let attrition take it's natural course. But I really doubt anyone would be cut off if they didn't take any prospective StarLink offer. I would also expect a reduction in any kind of sunk cost/investment towards residential user support, which might include this site. Again, this is just supposition on my part based on past history.191Views1like3CommentsRe: Streaming
Sometimes the Video Optimizer has a problem with 4K streams and times out. I've not noticed this on Paramount+ (yet), but have noticed it on some Amazon Prime ads. If you have the Video Optimizer engaged, you can temporarily disable it using the HughesNet phone app (Usage->Video Optimizer->Off) and then restart the stream. Remember to re-engage it once the stream starts, otherwise it will use a ton of data.49Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slow internet
14.4.1 is an issue with the Fusion Acceleration Appliance. This could be one of two things: Either the vsat side was overloaded and lost it's connection to the acceleration server, or the wireless side was slow/unresponsive at the cell tower. The former is usually what happens. However, this is usually a temporary condition and usually clears up after a few minutes. That said, if you're in a remote area served by only one cell tower, and that tower loses power or is under maintenance it could last for days.44Views0likes0CommentsRe: Worst internet service of all
No, what he said was the person was doing poor management of the allotted bandwidth they are given. 200GB/mo is more than plenty for a household of two. There are plenty of posts on this site that explain how to effectively manage their bandwidth. People just don't want to do it, then complain when they go over. When people say they need it for work, that doesn't mean that Zoom needs to be constantly running at the highest resolution all day, which is like streaming HD movies all day. That's just a complete waste of resources.61Views1like0CommentsRe: Internet slows down to a crawl for minutes, and latency/packet loss jumps high
For the most part, the latency in Fusion is dependent upon your wireless signal. Keep in mind that trees have been blooming since March and individual towers are generally slow to increase power levels to compensate. Other than that, the wireless provider used by Fusion has had very few outages. When you go to https://192.168.10.1/limited.html#!/diagnostics/instant_graphs what are the average RSRP, RSSI, and RSRQ levels being shown?161Views0likes0Comments
