The larger number indicates a longer time to respond to the request for data. A good cable or DSL number is around 10 to 50 milliseconds, while 750 millisecond (typical of satellite, and a natural result of physics) is almost 1 second to respond. The problem occurs in certain kinds of communications that have a lot of "back and forths" which really pile on the seconds of delay. Email is one of those. Banking is another. Fast gaming is impossible. But downloads of movies should not. In the Hughes speed tests, they have something called Internet Response which measures this. Should be around 1 second or less. I had initially much worse results.

If your Ping results are worse than 750ms, then this is abnormal.

If download speeds vary a lot during any time of day, from one minute to the next, then your results would be the outcome. I agree, not happy. I wonder if there is a download manager that would buffer these better? I hope the experts will weigh in? Do you have ping results?

I see results on download which are much worse than expected, and also results which are much better than promised. This suggests to me that your setup is good, or it seems unlikely that really good downloads could exist at anytime if it was bad. Instead, this suggests that Hughes system bandwidth is choked at certain times of the day. Your upload speeds are marginal at all times. To me, this suggests a slight tweak in dish alignment, maybe. I haven't seen any results on ping, which really is quite a strong factor in "responsiveness". Some other posts have shown some interesting variations on ping response depending upon which transponder which is a Hughes issue .

I would have preferred that the App be Acronis instead of System, and that the Seagate be referred to as the Destination instead of the Host, and the traffic type be something meaningful, instead of Microsoft-DS Active Directory. I wasted an hour Googling to find out what that was and obtained nothing useful. With those 2 simple changes it would have been immediately obvious what it was. As it was, I interpreted "system" as something unknown in the operating system, the Seagate to be the "source" of the data traffic, and Microsoft-DS Active Directory as the unknown destination (like OneDrive).

Yeah. Thx Amanda. Previously I had been able to zoom in on the first single 750GB event which was in December. Last night when Gabe asked for the screenshot, I wasn't able to find it quickly (or at all, in the graph at the bottom), and also was not able to quickly figure out narrowing that range (August to January). I'll have to play more with Glasswire to become more skilled at using it. Nevertheless, a bit disappointed in the reporting of the "upload" event which was: App: System Host: Seagate-41257D Traffic Type: Microsoft-DS Active Directory If it had been a real leak, this information isn't terribly helpful. As it is, we deduced that it must be the backup process by looking at the surrounding evidence instead of the direct evidence.

Once the current 6 backup cycle is complete, I will revisit which directories are backed up. No need to make copy after copy of these videos which are typically 6GB each. I don't even remember setting up the backup schedule. I think Acronis snuck that in on me behind my back. Sneaky software.

I have two router/modems each with 4 ports, and two 8 port switches. One older HP printer doesn't like to be switched between the two local networks and I often have to manually reinstall it.

Thanks. I think we agree. I don't have any of that fancy stuff yet like a "smart tv". The bulk of the storage are "movies" of our Township Board screaming at each other every two weeks. We have a new Board now that I sponsored and they are behaving much better.

For the period that the Genie was connected to the Linksys to Hughes, the Genie discovered and mated with my HR22 receiver which was also connected by RJ45. Suddenly all of the recordings on my machine appeared on her machine. This was around 11:30pm and life was approaching its endpoint.

The Genie is my wife's, and she is almost always recording something. I went as far as you suggested, and then got a warning that it would take some time and would disrupt any recording while it was doing it. A happy wife is a happy life.

The Genie is only allowed to connect to the DSL router via WiFi. It is not physically located near an RJ45 port. I Googled and found others had received $1300 bills from Verizon. I have a second older receiver connected via RJ45 to Hughesnet and not have had any observable utilization except when I did something deliberate like a "program on demand".

The Genie is unfriendly in its menu. I have found no option to disconnect the WiFi. To disconnect it, I had to change the WiFi password on the router for around 24 hours before the Genie would give up trying.

On a sort of related story, I noted recently that the WiFi light on my DSL router was always flashing, except when I turned off my only known WiFi device which is a DirecTV Genie. Then the WiFi light was dark. I was worried that this was another data leak, and connected that WiFi through my Linksys WRT1900AC router which tracks bandwidth to each client. Despite its WiFi light also flashing like crazy, it showed zero bandwidth. Based on this, I let it connect via the Hughesnet modem overnight and that also showed zero utilization.

If it is reporting all internet outgoing traffic over the period of Aug 28 to Jan 1, the number of 4.4GB is believable. I post videos of our Township Board meetings.

I run Acronis 2016 to do these backups, which is a full backup followed by 5 incremental backups. Then the cycle repeats. The backups are done weekly on Wednesdays.

If Glasswire is just reporting a transfer from my internal drive to my Ethernet attached external drive, then all is well. I am trying to confirm the size and dates now.

Not that I did intentionally. I just plugged it into the switch a year or more ago, and it did what it wanted through the 8.1 "upgrade" and the win10 "upgrade". Last week I learned that I had to map the drive with Windows navigator in order to see the usual directory numbers (utilization).

It is an Ethernet external 3TB drive that I use only for backups. I don't think the Glasswire report was on the same date but I can check that, and will. Glasswire shows downloads and uploads, and what it is reporting is a 750 GB upload. The 750 GB value is similar to the size of the full backup. So let me go check this and get back. Hopefully this is just a misinterpretation on my part of the Glasswire reports.

I posted on the OneDrive forum site, but was told that OneDrive doesn't use Microsoft-DS Active Directory. I also didn't sign up for OneDrive, but Microsoft did it anyway. The OneDrive folders on my computer are empty, as are the folders on my OneDrive account (that I said NO to).

With permission, I'd like to start a new thread about GlassWire if I may. Now this isn't really about Hughes, because I have two ISPs, and the event that I am going to describe briefly here was when I was connected with my uncapped and no limit DSL (but Hughes upload/download speed is higher). I purchased GlassWire Pro around 4 months ago (I think Amanda suggested Glasswire Free), and I was recently looking back at the history. I was astonished to find an upload of 750GB (yes gigabyte, and about 10 months of Hughes quota) that as far as I was concerned was unauthorized, unknown, and went to an unknown destination. Basically, it was my network drive that my personal data drive is backed up on regularly, using Acronis 2016. Since then, there have been additional uploads after an incremental backup is performed. I have tried real hard to sort this out including posting at Microsoft, but I have run out of gas and ideas. One I want to stop it, and two I would like to know where it came from. Glasswire indicates that the App is "System", the Host is my Seagate 41257D network attached drive, and the Traffic Type is Microsoft-DS Active Directory. Microsoft told me to disable the Microsoft-DS Active Directory service, but I didn't find any such service to disable. This is Windows 10. And this is relevant to Hughes because of the frequent complaints about data leaks. Gabe has already suggested some possible leak to the Cloud. Certainly fits this IMO, but I have always said NO! to Cloud services and have not been able to find any signs of this on my computer. I haven't found any services that would fit, and also have looked at the Scheduler and haven't found anything. So far, it hasn't run often, but when it does it is fast and furious. The uploads seem to be tracking the backups to the Seagate drive in both size and frequency.

Yes, in this case caps makes a difference. 1.0Mbps is 1 meg bits per second, and 1.0MBps is 1 meg bytes per sec. A byte is 8 bits. 12 Mbps is a reasonably good download speed for a satellite. 1.2 Mbps is slow. So to be able to critique and understand the performance you are getting depends upon which.
