<title>[HN9000] Hughes lying about speed</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23322526</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have the HN9000 modem and subscribe to the ProPlus plan.....which advertises 1.6 Mbps down & 250 Kbps up.




My download speeds have been very slow, for example I download some audio drivers and Firefox reports 22.4KB/sec (about 179kbps).  




If you call Hughes, they make you run a speed test from their site ( http://satspeedtest.hughesnet.com/cgi/launch2.cgi ).  Of course, it ALWAYS reports great speeds.  Last test showed 1573 kbps down & 265 kbps up:  




If I perform a speed test from dslreports, it shows I'm only getting 129 kbps down & 186 kbps up.




And here is another dslreports speedtest: 78 kbps down & 176 kbps up.  




Obviously Hughes is not reporting the correct speed with their own speed test.....so that when you call for help they can tell you that your getting GREAT speeds and that nothing is wrong with your system.  BS! :mad:]]></description>

<title>[HN9000] Explanation from ECC for Slow Speeds</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23142956</link>
<description><![CDATA[Originally from a thread on testmy.net in the Hughesnet forum.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a phone call earlier today from executive support, heres what they telling me:

The engineering dept is well aware of the terrible speed drops and are currently working on the fix for HN9000 customers....the Ka band is getting swarmed by all the people moving from the older Ku systems and new installs. The beams are not overloaded but the hubs or gateways are the bottlenecks....more hubs are going to be used in the next 30 days to eliminate the congestion. 

WOW! the NOC didn't think that one out very good did they?]]></description>

<title>[HN7000S] Another lost evening? Server resets all over</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23287540</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am seeing a problem right now, 9PM Eastern and onward, that I have seen once before, in which very few web sites load and many attemts to reach major site like Google consistently fail with a 'server reset' message from my browser.

Seeing this on a Mac and an XP machine despite rebooting the modem. Can't even run HughesNet speed test, but I am posting this. Weird. It's like HughesNet has dropped or blocked a whole chunk of the net. 

I am posting this in case others have a similar problem. The last time this happened was a few weeks ago and others experienced it. Then, like now, I was unable to get email for several hours. Last time it lasted several days then things picked up a bit and got better (although i have not seen a download speed over 500Kbps in months, and I on the Pro plan where I should sometimes see 1.6Mbps).

<title>[HN9000] Problems accessing a network camera</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23298671</link>
<description><![CDATA[Greetings !  My first post, brought on in desperation as I try to setup a network cam to view on the web.  I've come to realize that I need a static IP, but am getting mixed info on whether or not it needs to be a public IP for me to access it.  Some have suggested that with a static/private I can still access the camera using a DDNS service, but I am clueless in that regard.  Any thought out there?]]></description>

<title>[HN9000] To Reboot or Not Reboot?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23289487</link>
<description><![CDATA[I notice a lot of the time when someone is having a problem with the service that a soft or hard reboot is recommended to try and fix the problem. I was wondering if it is necessary or a good idea to reboot occasionally whether you are having a problem or not. 
I arrive at this question in thinking about my computer, after it has been running awhile and I reboot it, it seems to run better. Is this a possibility with the HN9000 modem as well? 
FYI I have had my system for 2.5 months and it has only been restarted when the power goes out (twice to my knowledge) and have had only very minor problems i.e. the web response error and failure to connect error, so any advantages in doing a reboot at a regular interval or just leave well enough alone?

<title>[HN7000S] Continuing Signal Strength problem with HN 7000S</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23094421</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello all.  I have a problem that has been going on for almost 2 years now.  I first wrote about it to this forum over a year ago, and I thought we had fixed it, but it has stuck up its ugly head once again.

I have a HN 7000S modem, and a linksys wireless router, with 2 Macs on the network.

When I log on, everything is fine for about 10-20 minutes.  My signal strength is 77-80.  Then, for no apparent reason the signal strength will drop to about 12, and I am disconnected.  It will stay at 12 forever, never changing.

If I turn the HN7000S off, then right back on, signal strength is still 12, but if I turn it off for at least 10 minutes, then turn it back on, signal strength will be 77 once again.  And everything will be fine for about 10 minutes, then it will drop out again.

I had this issue almost 2 years ago, and I changed my cables and my router (I had a netgear router at that time). So, I thought I had fixed it, but it has started up again.  

The weird thing is that some days it doesn't happen at all, I can be on for 10 hours, no problems, then the next day, right off the bat, drops to 12.

So, I went ahead and changed my cable connections, thinking that might be the issue.  It was fine for about 5 days, then started up again yesterday.  So, I disconnected the router, problem still there.

All I can think at this point is that maybe a cable is bad somewhere or maybe the equipment itself is starting to go bad.  I have had it for almost 8 years now. 

I may go ahead and just replace the cables again and see if that fixes it, but it is tricky, cause like when I changed the cable ends, it looked like it was fixed for a few days, but then acted up again.

Any suggestions????]]></description>

<title>[HN7000S] Software Update: Main.bin: [5.8.0.66]</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23313159</link>
<description><![CDATA[Received update last night around 2:15AM Eastern.  .. This happened much like the update to 5.8.0.49 back in May.  ... The previous night of the update, the transponder went down for a few minutes, then back up, back down again.  I called Tier 3 and was told that there was "Emergency Maintenance" going on.  Later things returned to normal  ... The following night, I received the update.   ... Oh well, let's see what this one does.  The diagnostics page is that of the old 5.8.0.49.
