Mordacious, I only have one computer, my new one is another desk top, My old desktop computer is out on my porch in a box. I'm guessing one of my boys is going to come and confiscate it since it's not the computer that's the problem. The router is so I can check my emails from my phone, I have a hard time sitting at the computer doing these time consuming testing, posting things. I also use cellular data for my phone, but our whole area lost reception in June, so since I do not have reliable phone reception, my phone will connect to wifi when cellular doesn't work when I check my emails. I do have everything set on my phone so it can't do any updating, I have the app refresh shut off so it can't do any updating or running in the background. I have everything shut off that I can. If I had known we were going to loose cell reception then I would of never got rid of the land line. Since I don't have reliable cell phone reception, and somebody needed to contact me to see if I'm still alive they could. (providing I checked my email). Not to often I get anybody trying to email me though, not because they don't care! lol! They know I can take care of myself. If we run in to any medical emergencies I can pretty much handle them, I even do our own suturing if need be. If we ever run into something serious, Well I guess we would be SOL because the closest hospital is an hr drive away. I used to work there. If it wasn't for the classes I've been taking I would get rid of the whole flippen works at this point. Seriously, i'm not even kidding. I live out in the boonies, sticks whatever you want to call it. Google map me if you don't believe me. I live 5 miles NW out of the town of Athelstane. WI., on what they now named our road Northway Drive since it turned into a snowmobile trail. Athelstane is where the first stop sign is I run into from my house. The town consists of 2 bars(taverns) and a self serve gas station now, and a small post office. I grew up in that town. The reason I bought so many different routers is because hughes kept insisting it was a problem with my router, every time I would talk to a hughes tech they would all have a different opinion on what router I should have. So since I'm not any kind of tech person, I would believe them and hope the problem would be fixed by getting yet another router. I have since came to the realization that there can't be a problem with every single brand of router avail. The reason for the Home Tech is because Hughes insisted if it wasn't a router problem then it had to be a problem with my computer, so they told me I needed to bring my computer in to get fixed, get a new one, or sign up with their partner Home tech support to fix it. So I thought the easiest, most economical solution was to sign up with home tech. I had to either pay a butt load up front or sign a contract and spread the cost out over a year. The problem I had with Home Tech is they kept saying nothing was wrong with my computer. I was glad there wasn't anything wrong with my computer but I also was still having the same darn problems. I even had a hughes tech say that I needed to have someone come to my house to fix my computer then, that's even after I had told her I already had Home tech go through every thing several times and they kept telling me nothings wrong with my computer. The last Home tech guy said they send a report to hughes and let them know that it's not my computer. So here I am still stuck with the same flippen problems even though I have replaced everything on my end, In a contract with Home tech who says there's nothing to fix on my end and can't fix a problem on hughes end of things. And still paying for the biggest package available even though I'm not getting what I've been paying for. I simply would just like it to work. I'm tired of all of this BS testing that has not fixed anything. I'm not a big fan of being on my computer or phone. I don't even watch TV. That's beside the fact. It worked great the first year. There was even 3 more internet users here the first yr. Why hasn't it worked now for over 2 yrs? I shouldn't even have to have everything shut off like I do, this is absolutely ridiculous. I have been paying through the rear for something I haven't been receiving. I don't think it's to much that I'm asking for, and I think I have done more than what I should have done to try and fix the problem for far too long.
