Dear friends, I wish to thank you for your help. I typed up a response yesterday but do not see it in this thread now. Anyway, yesterday I clicked on the little up arrow on the right side of my task bar to open up the little box to show my internet connection. It only showed Wi-fi. But there is a line Troubleshoot or Network settings. Can't remember which one it was but I clicked on one and Windows 10 went to a larger box asking me if I wanted to fix a connection problem or add another way to get on the internet (sorry, can't remember the words). So I let it set me up. The first question was "do you want to connect by Wi-fi?" or something like that? and I said to dismiss that and go on. Then it set me up to connect through my modem. Cool! Now I can connect to either Wi-fi or just directly connected to the modem. In the future, if I have a similar problem I'll go directly to my Device Manager and enable the connection that way. Thanks to all of you who took your valuable time to help me. I really do appreciate it!

Gabu, Sorry for me being such a dork, but if I go to the bottom right of my Windows 10 laptop and access the Wireless thingy, I don't see where to turn it off. Also, I went through the WAN stuff in the Device Manager and tried updating them via accessing the internet and it came back with the driver is up to date.

Attached is a picture of my Device Manager. I don't see anything in there for Ethernet Adapter. The Hughesnet tech had me do all kinds of things like go to cdmi and whatever else to try to get my wireless to connect to my d-link wireless. I don't know if there was an Ethernet Adapter in the Device Manager prior to his help. I just know that prior to his help I was able to get on the internet by attaching the cable direct from my Hughesnet modem to my port on my laptop. Is there a way to get Ethernet Adapter back in the Control Panel without taking the laptop to a store to get it repaired? Thanks for your invaluable help! Tony

I hooked up the computer as the picture you supplied. No connection to the internet. I typed in 192.168.0.1 the address line and no connection to the internet. However, I have another, older laptop which I connected to the modem and it connected to the internet just fine.

Hi Liz, If I power off the D-link wireless router and then try to go directly from the HughesNet modem tethered to my computer, (nothing connected to the wireless router) the computer does not see the modem and so does not connect to the internet. My only option now is to connect through the wireless router. Tony

Hi, I have a Lenovo Windows 10 pretty new laptop. I recently had Tech support to get the laptop to connect to the D-Link wireless router. We succeeded in that but if I want to take off the router and connect via cable to the modem, I can't find any way to do that. In the lower right hand of the computer screen, I click on the little /\ arrow which pops up a little box. But it now does not show any connection. I went to "Start" then into Settings, then to "Network and Internet" which shows "status," "Ethernet," "Dial-up," and "VPN." What do I do to connect directly to the modem NOT using the wireless router? I want to go back and forth. I think the directly tethered to the modem is faster speeds. Thanks for any help! Tony
