Good morning mhirsch,   Thanks for reaching out, were you able to locate your bill online? Here are illustrated steps on how to view your bill.   This page and video is also a good resource on how to understand your bill.   -Liz ... View more

Good morning gridleyd1983,     I see it's your first post here, so welcome to the community! To add onto what Gabe said, here's the manual for the HT2000w with more details about the advanced wifi settings.   You can find the part about the parental controls on page 31: http://support.hughesnet.com/sites/support.hughesnet.com/files/inline-files/1041264-0001_a.pdf   While there isn't an option for timed access, perhaps you can limit the kids' access to a guest network and then disable it when it's bedtime.   Hope that helps!   Edit: That is a good idea to have timing settings in the parental controls so you don't have to do it manually, I'll submit this as a suggestion to management. Thank you for bringing this up!   -Liz     ... View more

Good morning MSmith,   Thank you for posting and working with maratsade so far, this info I've read so far helps. I just ran remote diagnostics on your site and the HughesNet system appears to be working normally.   I see you have one device connected to the 2.4 GHz network (which also appears to have no issue with signal health. Is this your Dell PC?   If you connect the Dell PC directly to the HughesNet modem via ethernet cable, do web pages still time out?   When you say web pages time out, you mean any site you try to visit? Even Google?       Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.   Thanks, Liz ... View more

Good morning folks,   This was an interesting read this morning. So logout works on Chrome, for everyone, correct?   However the same issue persists in Firefox, but just for @Oletrapper?   Have you tried clearing Firefox's cache and cookies?   Does the issue persist in Private Mode?   Is your Firefox browser up to date?   Curious to see your answers to these @Oletrapper. If Firefox does seem to be the odd browser out, I'll see if our devs can replicate this, because I just tried it myself and it works normally in my Firefox browser.   Thanks, Liz ... View more

Whew. I'm hoping that @Oletrapper can also confirm. I'll leave this thread open for the rest of the week before I close it.   Thanks, maratsade!   -Liz ... View more

Possibly. So the original issue of logout process not actually logging out is no longer happening?   -Liz ... View more

Hello folks,   Thank you for your patience while our email team worked to resolve this. A fix was rolled out to address the logout issue. If you're still experiencing this, please let me know. If you have screenshots, even better!   Thanks, Liz ... View more

Good morning,   Thank you for your continued patience as our folks are still testing and tweaking possible fixes for this. I'll keep you posted on their progress.   Thanks, Liz ... View more

Hi dmnmay,   Thank you so much for your response, this helps a lot. I just wanted to make sure I understood your situation because various statements seemed contradictory:   daytime is terible & night does good. i cant get a steady 6 mbps through out the day?    everything works fine @ off-peak hours.     i can watch tv no problem ( whoops i mean stream shows LOL )     but i will try it during the day anyway. its not the equipment or the wi-fi its the service during daytime.   When do you mostly encounter streaming issues? Daytime? Nighttime? Or does it happen regardless of time?   Please disable UPnP in the modem settings. Here's how to do that.   After disabling UPnP, try streaming again on the isolated PC from last time (directly connected to modem and with wifi off). Any difference?   Gabe's suggestion is also good if you haven't tried it yet, any difference with Video Data Saver off?   Another thing to try, if the above two methods don't improve streaming, is to disable IPv6 on the modem:    Go to the WiFi Settings page in the modem Click Advanced Settings in the left menu Click IPv6 from the Advanced Settings menu, should be the very last option. Uncheck IPv6 - Automatic Click SAVE SETTINGS   Please let me know how streaming goes with each method, as well as around what time you tried streaming.   Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated, looking forward to your reply!   -Liz ...

Hello dmnmay,    Thank you for posting and sharing what you've done so far as troubleshooting, this helps. I definitely want to address your concerns, so I'd like to ask you further questions to clarify what you said and gather more info.   1. When you watch videos, you said they appear "blurry". Would it also be correct to say the videos look "pixelated" as well?   2. Does anything else happen when you try to watch videos, like getting an error message or the video stopping intermittently? I'd like to get the most accurate idea of your video streaming experience.   3. You said you only watch Netflix and YouTube, so to be clear, you're seeing "blurry" videos and have general issues on both streaming platforms?    4. Can you think of any other streaming platform you or maybe your wife tried besides Netflix and YouTube? If so, I'm curious if the experience is the same on that platform, please let me know.    5. maratsade mentioned you have a Roku, and I can see that in your device history as well. Is the Roku how you generally try to watch Netflix and YouTube?   6. Do you currently have a Smart TV?   7. Do your streaming issues happen on all devices?   8. If you haven't tried on other devices, please do so and let me know if you notice any difference.   9. As maratsade suggested, please let me know how streaming directly from Netflix and YouTube's websites (meaning, without using thed Roku) fares for you.   I suggest for troubleshooting purposes, pick the laptop/PC you usually use to stream and directly connect it to the HughesNet modem via ethernet cable.   Then to isolate that device, temporarily turn off the wifi on the HughesNet modem, here's how to do that:    -Follow the steps here to get to the modem's wifi settings home screen.   -Uncheck the box next to SSID Enable.   -Make sure to do this under both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.   10. If streaming issues persist, please let me know which videos/shows/movies you tried to stream and what happened exactly. Please take note of the playback quality on each streaming platform.     Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated. Let me know if I can answer any questions regarding the above.   Thank you!   -Liz ...

Good morning folks,   Thank you for your patience while we continue to investigate. While we currently can resolve this issue as it pops up on a user by user basis, we're still working on pinpointing the root cause of this forum notification issue to apply a permanent and universal solution. I'll keep this thread updated on news as we get it.   If you notice your e-mail notifications not arriving when you should be receiving them, please let me know ASAP; posting in here is fine. Include the approximate date and time of the notification received in the community that didn't arrive as an e-mail notification.   Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.   Thanks, Liz ...

OK, good to know, thanks maratsade! I'm looking forward to the call with all the involved teams to understand why this keeps happening. I'll keep you posted.   -Liz ... View more
