Again this kinda goes with my little rant about Hughesnet giving to little space to see what is needed. I did go to Preferences tab and I did click on the mail. However I did not see the scroll to get down to the  "Composing", "Signatures", "Accounts",  "Filters", and "Trusted Addresses". Seems there is alot of fluff that could be addressed and make Hughesnet site more user friendly.    Thank you again Liz ... View more

I'm guessing that there is no way to edit e-mail filters.  Yes/No? ... View more

I'm actually reading the books first. I'm halfway thru book two right now and I'm a slow reader. I figured that if I watched one episode a week I should be alright for a little bit til I catch up with where I am in the books then I'll have to wait to watch more. Luckily I found a place a can watch GOT without paying. Now I just gotta figure out how to make this download manager download the file during the nite. ... View more

Am I correct in thinking that two devices connected to the wireless will slow down both connections? My thoughts are that the data transfer is like a bucket brigade. You have 100 people handing down buckets of water to put out a fire. If another fire breaks out, you now have 50 people per fire which will slow down the amount of water on the first fire. Kinda a very simply way of looking at it, but is that correct? I'm thinking so, but with what Corrisive said, I'm questioning that. One last question and should probably be put on Windows forums, but I'm here so I'll ask. Is Windows 7 Home Premium really Windows 8? Kinda confused on this as well.  ... View more

So . . . if I am understanding you guys correctly, when the installer guy was here, he got it to show as hug5g by fluke or some trade trick. Also that I should stick with what I have and stop working at getting it to show hug5g. Connect using the ethernet cable and not the wireless.   All is said and good . . . . except for one small detail that I didn't think would need to be brought up which started this whole thing. I am looking at getting a smart tv come black friday. In order for it to pick up the signal I need to enable my wireless connection. When I enable my wireless connection, even though I am currently connected thru the ethernet cable, my computer automagically switches to my wireless. As I live out the in boonies I can not get cable, so my thought was to get netflix or somethhing similiar and stream shows to watch. With both devices using the wireless (not sure way my computer seems to like the wireless) it will put a big drain on my usage.   Is there anyway to force my computer to stay on ethernet while the wireless is enabled? or does this not matter as well? ...

I just did a upload/download test on testmy.net, after reading the thread Hughesnet SUCKS.  Download was 27.7. Upload was 1.5.   I'm guessing that that isn't bad, but if hug5g is better . . . . ?  . . . but after reading that post . . .  ... View more

Hewlett Packard Pavilion 500-314 PC Model Number: 500-314 Control Panel tells me I'm running Window 7 Home Premium, but the side of the computer tells me it is Windows 8, hmmmmmm Home Network in the Network and Sharing Center shows hug2g. Adapter settings for both my Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter Shows the hug2g.   I can connect both wirelessly and thru the ethernet cable, but neither one is the hug5g. My computer is right next to the router/modem as it has been since install which was about 1 month ago. At that time I had the hug5g on my Realtek and the hug2g on the Qualcomm. This is the only device here that can connect to the internet. Nor any blue Ray, cell phone, Refrigerator or Toaster Oven that sends out or recieves any signal. OK, well maybe my remote for the TV, but that is infra red I believe, right? ... View more
