I work from home every day and one day my cable modem router just stopped out of nowhere. Everything is plugged in, and the buttons are all green. I checked with the nighthawk app it said that it needs to get the firmware updated, but HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO UPDATE IT WITHOUT WIFI? I tried calling the customer service but I’ve been on hold for 40 mins. This is outrageous

Moving to Astorville Ontario. Any locals know what the best internet is? I will be working from home.

Hi everyone,

I've moved my dish and I am wondering what app I need to get in order to align my hughesnet dish?

Thanks

Hello,

I am looking for a specific solution to change the physical connection for internet access—instead of using the local ISP’s cable—using only a phone or computer.

Can we force the phone to connect to specific frequencies (bands) not used by your local service provider, thereby switching you to less congested and more stable global frequencies, bypassing the usual "physical congestion"?

To the experts and those with deep knowledge in this field: Do you think this is accurate, feasible, and globally applicable,

or are there suggestions for more reliable methods in the long term, also using a phone or computer?

I’m exhausted from trying to find a completely accurate and practical solution.

Please, if anyone has the solution, help me with it.

Thank you all.

Newly built homes have water system installed, Electricity system installed, HVAC system installed, and Natural gas installed. But why not the internet?

Hi, please let me know your thoughts of the following internet providers in Taytay, Rizal area. We are moving there next week and unfortunately, no service na ang Globe doon, so I need to apply for a new provider. WFH setup kasi ako at may naka-online class din.
* Cheetah
* PLDT
* Converge

Thanks a lot!!!!

For the past decade or so we've been getting by on Double Dog with a rip-roaring 300kb/s, but even that's suddenly stopped working for the past month and they seem convinced there's nothing for them to do.

Calyx Institute looks like it's about the last promising, non-satellite thing we haven't tried, paired with an Invisagig or similar modern/router. Thing is, we don't get 5g. We have respectable, if spotty 4g LTE cellular, but T-Mobile's Home Internet gateway just doesn't work at all, regardless of connectivity settings.

As is likely apparent, I'm not particularly well-versed in how any kind of networking works; would Calyx connect in a way that's more like a cellular hotspot or..however TMobHI works..? If there's any distinction to begin with.

I'm thinking it's likely a dead end, but this is one case where I wouldn't mind being told I'm dumb and wrong.
