btw, I think we are so close to having it work.  Seems Hughes has locked in fairly well, at least recently, to hover at 1Mbps during FAP.  Almost enough it seems to stream Netflix... not YouTube though as that is always buffery.  But if they can ever retain around 1.5mbps furing FAP it will be not too bad for low rez.  I do dream of that. I am not a big movie or streamer but is nice to watch a movie that does not buffer every few seconds.  Every now and then I seem to get through a movie during FAP w/o too bad of buffering and I can live with that.   I just equate satellite buffering with movie intermissions all for free and not charged.  Or mini potty breaks No need to hit the remote pause button.  LOL.   TJ ...

I used to be 1GB per day under Gen 4.  Now with Gen 5 it has become 2 to 2.3GB per day it seems, doing what seems to be my same method of operation as when I was on Gen 4. I had adblockers running on all browsers.  I just don't have the time to analyze each and every device to see what uses the most. Could be iOS devices draining it, but when I am off my main system the drain does not seem fast or large so I just think every day use of my main linux box does the most data... I do dream of a day I don't need to worry about this.  😉 TJ ... View more

@maratsade wrote: " I did whine a little but not overly too much."   It was within acceptable parameters. 😉   Glad your other post went through. Not sure why it got caught in the spam nets, as that usually doesn't happen to established posters.  Actually that is a new one with no whines. My 1st post is still gone and guessing @Liz can let me know next week why it was considered spam. I did moan about 1Mbps download speeds during Fap when it was originally advertised it would be 1 to 3... so I was assuming I would sometimes get above 1Mbps which has never been the case.  And I said maybe Gen 6 will have faster FAP speeds that will handle low rez Netflix.  But in the whole post I was not mean just expressing my opinion while asking what other folks speed was. Anyway, the new post was just that, question only.  😉 TJ ... View more

I had saved it so emailed to @Liz to see what in it trapped it as spam. I see tons of posts about speed and such so threw me for a loop. I did whine a little but not overly too much. 😉 I just had to reset my modem as I was not able to do even a 256k test at testmy.net.   Reboot and I am back to my normal 1Mbps down during FAP. TJ ...

I do wonder if I had been able to stay on ES19 if I would be clocking better FAP speeds than ES17 I had to switch back to.  Hughes switched me back to ES17 when ES19 was not working out and they started moving some in NorCal back to old Satellite.   I was getting pretty fast speeds on ES19 when all was 100% but night-time killed me.   TJ ...

@MarkJFine wrote: I'm saying it's possible, and even more convoluted than you think. Could be an instance where it got currupted on one device, and another deivce just happened to pick up the bad lookup for safe keeping, then repropagated it the next time any other device tried to go there.   If that's the case: 1. I'd switch everything to point to the modem DNS (automatic). 2. Then power everything down with the modem being last. 3. Then, power everything back up, modem being first to own the master DNS, with everything else following afterwards. 4. If you want to change the DNS on each device to point to something else after that do so.   This way you be assured that any corrupt entry is completely expunged from your local network. Cool, thanks. Business to attend to and a business trip so will have to try that when I get back. Just need to get work done now.  hah. Thanks for the help.  It is for sure an odd one. TJ ...

Is there a way to flush the router of any cached web urls it is storing, if it is doing that. Just seems weird all systems other than 1 oddball system I may not have visited the Haiku forum before works yet all these others do not. I would think only the Hughes Router is allow DNS access and allowing various computers to visit sites. Are you saying other systems like my Mac Mini or iOS devices are interfering with that and maybe all systems are getting the DNS from it instead? TJ ... View more

@MarkJFine wrote: That's just weird.   So, what we've determined is that there is something messing with your ability to resolve DNS to at least a couple of things. There's nothing else wrong with accessing directly via IP.   Just hunch, and realize it's probably a pita, but try going back to automatic DNS and rebooting/clearing everything. Before you bring up a Chrome browser or another application (if possible, some things kick off automatically), try doing a ping and/or traceroute like you did before using name, not the IP address, to see if it resolves.   I'm concerned something is running that is either blocking or rerouting your DNS lookups. Had already left DNS on auto. Cleared browser cache. Turned off main linux system. Reset modem.  Turned system on.  Went right to Terminal.   tj@Maingear:~$ traceroute https://discuss.haiku-os.org traceroute: unknown host tj@Maingear:~$ ping https://discuss.haiku-os.org ping: unknown host https://discuss.haiku-os.org tj@Maingear:~$   Add some more oddity to this...
