Re: Can’t connect to Apple Maps server
First and foremost, don't try to perform a factory reset unless instructed to by a rep or tech, as that can cause far more problems than solutions. When you power cycle the modem, make sure to do it in the right order, as if the cause is a corrupted DNS it could still be held in the network. First, unplug the modem. Then, shut down every device that uses your HughesNet. They have to actually be shut down, as being in standby can still retain DNS info. If you have a satellite TV receiver that is connected to HughesNet, you'll have to unplug it, as when they're off they're actually in standby and still connected. I know that's a pain, but it's the only way. After you're absolutely sure that nothing is still on that uses HughesNet, and after it's been a minute or two since unplugging the HughesNet modem, plug the modem back in. Then wait a few minutes to ensure it's fully back up. Then, if you use a separate router, turn that back on (or plug it back in), and then wait a few minutes again. Then turn your devices back on/plug them in. Again, doing this will ensure that all DNS entries are purged and nothing is retained on the network. All will be fresh, so to speak. Then try the Apple maps again. It's not a guarantee that this will fix the problem, but it's one possible cause that will be eliminated. Hopefully you'll hear from one of the reps tomorrow, as they aren't on during the weekends.83Views1like3CommentsRe: Cost of the home internet boosters
This isn't to dissuade you from getting one of the WiFi signal extenders, but keep in mind that they extend the signal in only one direction, as you basically put it halfway in between the HughesNet modem and where the signal drops out, extending it further in that direction. If you have a single area of your home where the signal drops out the extender may be the answer. But if you're finding it drop out in more than one specific area, you might be better off looking into a buying a router with better WiFi range, as you're not required to use the HT2000W's built in WiFi. You'd basically connect it to the HT2000W and disable the onboard WiFi so that it doesn't interfere with the new router's WiFi. There are decent routers with good WiFi range for under $100 on Amazon.124Views1like1CommentRe: Rebate ?
All you've done on this community is rant and whine. You complain about this and that, yet not a single time have you actually asked for help. The rants and raves of those who never asked for help for their alleged problems carry no weight. They're just pointless rambling taking up space on a web page.90Views1like1CommentRe: Stopped receiving notifications again
Ah, interesting. I do have access to that page, but it doesn't appear to be working properly, as there's no notification of your reply listed there. I have it set to "All", but the latest notification is from eight days ago. I did get an email notification though.60Views1like4Comments
