@Damian I don't know if this is going to be helpful, or not, but I spent a total of 5 hours this morning trying to figure up if there was some connection between this hourly DNS error code that is completely disrupting my service and the HughesNet Modem, WiFi frequencies, and/or ethernet. I made sure that ALL devices from modem / wifi were completely disconnected and then, I manually rebooted the modem, disconnecting the power cord from the brick. I then waited for modem to restart before conduction my tests.. (From the system Control Center, under 'current hour history' you can only review the previous 60 minutes of service, so I took multiple screen shots as I continued to conduct my tests and then pasted these together to get a better picture of what was going on) Each test #1 thru #4 were done using a single device (desktop computer, or android phone) and a single WiFi frequency. Test # 1 thru #4 Connected a single device (desktop on primary 2.5 or 5.0 GHz frequencies, and phone on guest 2.4 and 5.9 GHz frequencies) to a single frequency, wait for 15 full minutes, reviewed/screen shot the diagnostics and then after completely disconnecting, would go to the next frequency and so on... Test # 5 Connected BOTH my desktop to 2.4 (primary) GHz Wi-Fi and my phone to 5.0 (primary) GHz Wi-Fi at the same time and ran that for about 50 minutes. Test # 8 I hooked the Modem directly to my TV via Ethernet cable, making sure to completely disconnect TV from any WiFi frequencies... After test #8 I actually noticed something interesting, a pattern if you will...so I ran a few more tests... Test # 10 I connected device (my desktop computer) to the 2.4 GHz WiFi BUT...I did not actively use any data, download anything, run, browse webpages, apps, and so on) I basically just connected my computer via WiFi and just sat there. CONCLUSION: This DNS error code is not being set off by any one WiFi frequency. It occurs regardless of what Frequency I use being it 2.4 (primary or guest) or 5.0 (primary or guest). And like last month, it doesn't matter whether or not I my speeds are throttled or not. The error code occurs every hour, regardless of what time of day and night it is... HOWEVER.... What I did notice is that this error codes ONLY generates when I try to actively use my service, meaning browse the internet, trying to use an app on my TV, browse webpages via my phone and so on.... I can connect ANY of my devices to the modem via WiFi and leave them connected with no error code being generated, however, just as soon as I try to actually USE my devices, the DNS error code will then start generating and causing severe disruptions to my service. If you look at the BROWN arrows, these are all periods of time that I was NOT actively using any data, even though my devices were connected via WiFi.. So....down below, I've spent approx. 8 minutes or so here on the Hughesnet Forum typing up this response. Got on here approx. 1:37pm (pst) This webpage was open, but I had no other websites open, and I wasn't actively 'surfing' the web while I was doing this, so basically, no 'data' was being used. As a result, no DNS error code was being generated as you can see from the screen shot. HOWEVER, at 1.49pm (pst) I pulled up the system control panel to take another screen shot. Doing this uses data, and therefore, as soon as I did this, the DNS error code once again started back up again...
