Re: Hidden Network (quoted reply by CORROSIVE senior instructor) Sorry, but that's not going to happen. The hidden network does nothing currently aside from broadcast. If you don't like it, you can disable the wifi on your HT2000w entirely and use your own wifi access point. What you are asking is almost like when the HT1000 was replaced with the HT1100 if the unit failed, the HT1100 had a new potential feature which was a USB port, yeup, end those contracts over nothing! lol That aside, Hughesnet conforms to all F.C.C requirements, otherwise there wouldn't be, ya know, an F.C.C sticker on the unit. BTW, Pro-tip, electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not a medical diagnosis, it's a self diagnosis, meaning it's not recognized by anyone, including the F.C.C. If you knew how many signals passed through your body, you would realize that much. Your electrical meter? Most likely part of a mesh wifi network. Your local TV stations? Yeup, they broadcast some pretty strong signals. All those satellites in space? Yeup, they flood the ground in radio signals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity Personal Machine: ECS B85H3-M | Intel i5 4460 | 16GB DDR3-1333 | eVGA 750Ti | Samsung 830 120GB - Server: ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 | AMD FX8350 | 32GB DDR3-1600 ECC | 2x Intel Quad Gigabit NIC | IBM M5015 | 650w OCZ PSU | eVGA 710 | 26TB Storage - ChucksBasix.com MY REPLY to Corrosive's reply above: FYI I don't need a medical diagnosis to decide whether or not I choose to be bombarded with 5G radio waves in MY home from a router that I pay for or not. I agree with lake_woman you are rude and I don't like your tone either. I have tried to call on the issue several times and was on hold forever until my HN phone hung up on me (that's another issue, the phone service is unreliable to say the least...). I just now thought of re-checking the forum and will try the suggested fix of turning additional boxes off and will let you know if that works. HERE'S THE REASON for the 'future use' of your 5G: ( excerpt BELOW from http://healthimpactnews.com/2017/new-5g-cell-towers-and-smart-meters-to-increase-microwave-radiation-invade-privacy/ ) Think smart grid and smart appliances that are already being marketed. They will need a designated 5G connection to transmit from your house and your neighbor's house to the central control brain which will monitor, control and distribute power as they see fit. PLEASE READ: "Telecom giants plan to take their 5G technology nationwide. It is part of a long-term plan to integrate telecom activities with electrical service providers. A 2015 white paper written by telecom companies, electric utilities, and technology developers published in the European Union describes their vision for the future. As I interpret the images that these European visionaries are creating, I believe they are foreseeing a day when electrical power production and distribution will be controlled by the 5G network. In this future vision, large-scale power production facilities will be replaced by hundreds of thousands of small power producers, which could even include personal power production in our homes from solar and wind. The 5G system will monitor not just consumption of power, but will monitor and control the redistribution of electrical power across the entire electrical grid. The 5G network will be the nerves and sense organs of a massive organism that has a central brain somewhere, which controls all forms of information exchange and electric utilization/production. Electricity will be used for all aspects of household and business activities, and the 5G network and its centralized brain will control everything. [24] In the beginning, the speed of the 5G network will be marketed to consumers and businesses who want super-fast internet service. This will allow for instant access to videos and webpages with as little as a 5-millisecond delay from the moment a start button is pressed. Transmission speeds will be hundreds of times faster than current internet connections. It will be so fast that it will be able to instantaneously project images on the lenses of smart enabled eye glasses to create virtual reality images that blend with the environment. People will be able to watch videos or even read email simply by looking through the lenses of their glasses. The speed will be so phenomenal that it will make available self-driving cars, which can safely drive passengers to their destinations. [25] Ultimately, the greatest benefit of the 5G system will be for utility companies. It will give them the ability to take total control of electric production, distribution, and consumption." Do a little research on your own, its all on the internet if we look. So are the suspected/proven health dangers. The decision lies with the consumer ultimately as to whether we want to participate or not. If I can turn off my HN wifi completely I will, if not I will be requesting my service be discontinued at no charge. If we all do that, they will provide a way to turn it off.
