Re: GEN 5 Upgrade Problems
Thanks for your help Amanda. I have been monitoring my receiver signal strengh and it has been ranging from 68 to 73. My speed tests show a large variation and exceed 25Mbps in some situations. This is definitly a beneficial upgrade. I look forward to your help in the future.13KViews1like0CommentsRe: GEN 5 Upgrade Problems

I thank everyone for their comments. I can definitly get > 25 Mbps during the bonus period when I shut down the WiFi and run my Windows 10 PC using the Ethernet cable. I have been away from home much of the time since my Gen 5 upgrade and have had limited time to fully check performance especially during the day. Here are a couple issues: To avoid Windows Update I need to run my PC as a metered connection and this option is only available with a WiFi connection. Windows can easliy burn up half my allottment with one cumlative update. I ran some tests this morning and it looks like my down speed drops to 5-10 Mbps when using a WiFi connection. It will take me about a week to fully check the day time performance and I might as well wait for the upcomming improvements. In my previose set up I disabled Turbopage on the advise of a HugesNet tech in order to make streaming possible. Overall it looks like I will be very happy with my upgrade.12KViews0likes10CommentsRe: GEN 5 Upgrade Problems
Thanks for your comments and technical analysis. I understand that download speeds of > 25 Mbps are of course possible wth the small dish and a signal strength of 70. However, I have not been able to perfom some tasks with my upgraded system that I regularly performed on my previous system. I measured some higher speeds and had good performance in the bonus period last night.12KViews0likes15CommentsGEN 5 Upgrade Problems
I am in Zip 93522 and upgraded to Gen 5 on June 10th. Immediatly after the installation the signal strength showed 50 and today it has been in the low 70s. The installer used my old small dish. My download speeds have been below 10 Mbps. I am not very happy. I would like to get the full upgrade including the Gen 5 larger dish.Solved12KViews0likes20CommentsGen5 - Nominal Signal Strength Question

The final draft of the proposal to end net neutrality has been released. The order removes nearly every net neutrality rule on the books and removes the common carrier designation from internet providers. What changes will come with the end of net neutrality? Portugal Doesn't Have Net Neutrality and internet providers are starting to split the net into packages. (see photo) Will HughesNet service continue to be an open internet?2KViews0likes1Comment
