The installer who set me up originally told me that hug5 would "cost" me more bandwidth, by the way. It had something to do with viewing videos in higher quality. As part of what I do in life involves finding and linking to certain music videos, and since I don't view the entire videos (just enough to be sure it's the correct music), I don't need the higher quality. Of course, no matter what I do, including upping my plan to increase my available data to 30GB/month, disconnecting all devices except my laptop from WiFi after 8 a.m., and doing my downloads before 8 a.m., I'm still always bumping up against my monthly limit. It would be sooo nice to join the 21st century internet-wise, but that's another topic.

Thanks to you all for your replies. I accidentally discovered another solution before I read yours. Here's a photo of what I did -- I discovered that for whatever reason, the hug5 was at the top of the list (I didn't put it there, and have no idea if it's always been like that or some update or something changed it). So far, this solution is working. Thanks again.

Because of the EXTREME consumption of bandwidth that happens no matter what I do to minimize it, I've set my Gen5 WiFi settings to 2.4GHz (see image below), since 5GHz would be even more consumptive. However, almost every single time I start up my laptop in the a.m. the WiFi connects at 5GHz anyway. What can I do to prevent this? I need to conserve every tiny byte I can! The laptop OS is Win7. I turn off the power to the modem nightly (I'm on solar power and must conserve that way as well).

I just got off the phone with Hughesnet. Even though my due date is 06/08/17 because Hughesnet generated the bill yesterday and I didn't immediately pay it, and even though the payment is NOT late they still apply that stupid error message. Talk about irritating! The tech extended my due date so that the automatic error message wouldn't kick in. If I only had some other choice of ISP I would switch, but alas, I don't where I live in rural New Mexico.

I have been experiencing the same problem for the past several days, and my account is NOT overdue. My next payment is due 06/08 and my last payment was made on time. This is a very irritating problem. It occurs not only with email links, but bookmarked links as well. I recently upgraded to Gen5 because I was having so many problems and here I am having problems again.
