OK...here's the results from this morning test...first, the setup.   Satellite  > HT2000W  >  D-Link modem  >  Ubiquiti UniFi AP  >  Local PC Hopefully you get the picture...   1.) Connect PC to HT2000w direct via cable, 192.168.0.1 pops right up.       a.) Usage meter in sys tray works       b.) Usage meter shortcut on desktop clicks but never opens       c.) The hard cable connection would drop connectivity every minute or so and require replugging the                   cable. VERY strange.   2.) Connect PC WIRELESS to D-Link modem, 192.168.0.1 pops right up.       a.) Usage meter in sys tray works       b.) Usage meter shortcut on desktop clicks but never opens   3.) Connect PC WIRELESS to Ubiquiti AP      a.) 192.168.0.1 will not open      b.) HughesNet System Control Center opens....slowly.      c.) Usage meter in sys tray has no connectivity.   It looks like there is blockage at the AP settings that won't allow access to 192.168.0.1 I guess I could flip back and forth between the Ubiquiti AP and D-Link but I want it to work on the AP.   Any thoughts? THANKS AGAIN for all your time!! Paul ... View more

Here is some follow up info...a bit confused, I'm not seeing a conflict.  What page pulls up when you attempt to visit http://192.168.0.1 ?  Can you screenshot and show us the Dlink WAN Configuration page, as well as the LAN Configuration page?     ... View more

THANKS for the reply... The address on the D-Link is 192.168.1.1 Digging deaper into what apears to be router settings, I'm seeing 192.168.42.1 Can I or SHOULD I change that setting to 192.168.1.1?? and will that get me access to the meter software? ... View more

Can buy a DD-WRT router to use instead of the Hughes router but still a gamble if it will work.    I have a couple of routers laying around and could toss one on to see what happens...I was of the thought HughesNet needed it's own dedicated router. Is that perhaps NOT the case?? Could I replace the Hughes with one of my own...then call an have it initialized to the Hughes network??  Anyone ever done that??  ... View more

Ughhh, what a freak'n bummer...I must's asked the yahoo at Dish selling the SAT service a dozen times if the Gen5 supported security software systems like BI. Should have know, but I'm not too suprized...kind'a like asking a car salesman about something technical. The support guy in the Phillipines said he could get the advanced help group to add a port forward. I wonder if I wonder if using the IP of BI and have HughesNet give me a port forward on the Gen5, then assign it to BI if that might work??   Or am I dreaming?? LOL   THANKS GUYS!!  Paul ... View more
