12.1.9 is a high error rate, which likely also means your SQF level is low. If it's not something blocking/interfering, then it could be an alignment issue. The mods can take a look remotely and see if a tech needs to make a visit.

Not sure exactly what 12.1.14 is, but 12.1.* is usually transmission related from the dish, or conversely, reception related at the satellite. Since you mentioned some soggy weather it might also be something related to nearby foliage. Sometimes damp branches sag into the dish's field of view. Although they might not directly block it, nearby foliage may cause a severe standing wave pattern from any signals reflected back to the dish from surrounding limbs/leaves. Therefore, you might want to make sure that the face of the dish is clear of any foliage within a 45 degree cone from the edges of the dish - especially from above. I should mention that this happens quite often here in Virginia, and it's been an exceptionally wet summer here.

Can't remember where the discussion about Firefox TLS compatibility was, but... From the 62.0.2 notes: Restored compatibility with some sites using deprecated TLS settings (bug 1487517)

My weekend: ✔️ Jake DeGrom! on Friday. ✔️ Notre Dame blew out Wake yesterday. ✔️ Arsenal cleanly dispatched Everton in the second half today for their 5th win in a row in all comps. ✔️ Giants actually won a game (even if only the Texans). ✔️ Mets took 3 out of a 4-game series against Washington... in Washington (and didn't give up anything stupid like 0-25). I was actually supposed to be at Nats Stadium today, but we thought it was going to be rained out and deep-sixed it. So, despite that... almost an ultimate weekend. [Disclaimer: Hopefully this post did not jinx anything going forward]

Hahaha. Just wanted you to see the guy in charge there that allowed millions of phony comments from Russians using fake names and addresses to comment on net neutrality, which was then used to form their position. I'm certain he gives a rat's bag about your problem.

This is usually done via the network setup in your operating system. I've outlined what to do for both Mac and PCs, but do these at your own risk. For macOS, in Settings, under Network: 1. Select the network connection you're using and click Advanced.... 2. Then under the TCP/IP tab, next to Configure IPv6: you would select Automatically. You should then see IPv6 addresses appear under Router: as well as a local and public IPv6 Address / Prefix Length in the table underneath. 3. Then, under the DNS tab, you should see two IPv6-type DNS Servers listed. If not, use the - button to delete anything put there manually, and two automatic IPv6 DNS entries should then appear. 4. Remember to click Ok after you're done to save any changes you've just made. For Windows 10, in Windows Settings, under Network & Internet: 1. Under Status, select Change Adapter Options. 2. This will bring up a Network Connections control panel, where you would select the network you want to change, and then select Change settings of this connection at the top. 3. This will display Ethernet (or whatever) Properties with a Network tab. 4. Scroll down and you should see an Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) item, which should be checked. 5. Selecting Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), click Properties. 6. This will display an Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) Properties display, with a General tab. 7. Both Obtain an IPv6 address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically should be checked. 8. Click OK on both Properties displays to save your changes, then kill the control panel window as well as the Windows Settings display.

1. Go to http://192.168.42.1/wireless_WPS.htm (you may have to log into your router first) 2. Uncheck Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 3. Click Apply Changes

Thanks. Of course, my theory falls apart if you're accessing it from Verizon or something other than HughesNet... 😬

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure it's a very limited staff with many other higher priorities. Unless it's something immensely simple that could be knocked out in a few minutes, these things can sometimes just sink to the bottom of the list. For example, I would think ensuring TLS robustness would be a higher priority before moving anything to https, mainly because it's a prerequisite for it to work properly. Also, unless I'm thinking about this wrong, the actual threat of someone intercepting anything unencrypted behind the system's double-nat and within the system itself is likely quite low.

Neither the cell booster nor DirecTV box are likely to interfere with either the dish signal or wifi. Even still, ethernet cable connections are still the best option for connecting devices (printer, computer) to the modem. Phones would still need to use wifi, but if you have a booster and can use LTE for them anyway I'm not sure I see the point of even bothering to hook them up to the modem at all. While I'm at it, it's not recommended that you connect the DirecTV box to the modem at all, because they are notorious for eating data like there's no tomorrow.

@El_Dub wrote: Desktop with Windows 10 It should update periodically, say every 1-2 minutes or so. The modem polls your usage from the system every so often, and the app polls the modem every so often, albeit not necessarily at the same time. The process cuts down on network congestion so everyone's not tying the system up with status pings. If you need a more immediate update, just click on the area you're already on and it will force it to refresh the display with the most current data at the modem.

Might be an extreme move, but there's a relatively brand new museum in DC, specifically designed for your specialty. https://nmaahc.si.edu Might want to apply and see what happens.

Perhaps it's the modem settings. Plus, you have to remembrer that there have been several iOS updates over the past several months. Over the same period I developed an annoying pause in bluetooth audio that intermittently occurs seconds after a screen lock. Apple can't seem to get that one right either, so I'm not confident their updates are 100% foolproof.

Also possible that bandwidth has been allocated specifically to help with hurricane ops.

If it were me, I'd completely delete all of the current connections on the iOS devices and re-do them, using the procedure outlined in New possible leakage source (for iOS users). It's not quite the same problem as mentioned in that post, but it's similar.

I see no need for another router if it's all co-located. Some other tips: 1. It helps to have an ethernet cable just in case you lose wifi and need a quick way to get to the modem for any reason. If the modem and computer are co-located as you say, I'd recommend using an ethernet cable over wifi, because it's just basically simpler and you get max bandwidth out of it, no matter what. 2. 5GHz vs. 2.4GHz wifi: If you are located in the same room as the modem and must use wifi, it's best to use the 5GHz wifi channel if possible. It's generally faster than the 2.4GHz channel. However, it's possible your computer doesn't support 5GHz so I'll give you the best settings for both. 3. 5GHz wifi settings: Check to see if your computer supports 802.11ac over 802.11n or 802.11g. If it's able to do so, this should allow you to expand the bandwidth of a single wifi channel from 20 to up to 80MHz, which also makes it faster. Then you can check how the modem is set by going to it's Advanced Setup/Wireless page (you may have to log in using the router password). The settings you want are under 5Ghz, where it should be: Wireless Mode: 11a/n/ac Bandwidth: 20/40/80MHz Leave "Channel" alone and "Extension Channel" should get filled in by itself. Click "Save Settings" if you've changed anything and the modem should restart with those settings. 4. 2.4GHz wifi settings: Not as good, but if youre limited only to 2GHz (the section just above 5GHz), the settings for that should be similarly: Wireless Mode: 11b/g/n Bandwidth: 20/40MHz Leave "Channel" alone and "Extension Channel" should get filled in by itself. Click "Save Settings" if you've changed anything and the modem should restart with those settings.

Depends upon what you mean by slow: 1. If it's just slow to react on web sites, that's because of the relatively long time it takes for responses to occur on satellite internet. It takes roughly half a second for a command to go to the internet and back because of the distance between you, the satellite, and the ground station that actually 'talks' to the internet. There's nothing you can do about this. 2. If it's download speed, you can check that by doing a 25MB speed check on TestMy. If there is a speed issue here, there are several things you can do, to include router/computer settings, as well as decreasing the location of your computer to the modem, and possibly using an ethernet cable (as you've mentioned).

I actually took the week off. I don't do well in dew points above 21C or so (I get up early to try and beat it). So between the rain and extreme humidity, I figured it was as good a time as any to rest up. Edit: You might say, I took an International Break, based on the timing... lol

Better idea: 1. Gate them to some barren rock. 2. Send the Odyssey or Daedalus to beam the rock's gate and dhd off the planet once they get there.

I post our podcast weekly on Mondays for a 10am Tuesday publication time. I have to pull down the raw file from our Slack channel before post-production and SFTPing it to the site. If I can get it done before 4 or 5pm Monday during football season it's a good thing, but it depends upon when the file is ready. Otherwise, I just leave it until early morning Tuesday. All the streamers and cord-cutters eating bandwidth, then they complain "I can't stream", "too much buffering", "unwatchable" when it's the main source of the problem. Every. single. time. #smh
