I spent several hours on the phone with tech support last night. They have taken the case to Lvl 4 and will call me back with results in 48 hours. I ran the speed test from the Hughes Customer Help page this at 4:00am this morning before work got speeds of 900+/40+. I did not have time to run the testmynet speed test, but will tomorrow and post the result. I will let you know what tech support came up with also. Sharonkt

Tommie - I am downloading AVG as I type. The dish has been up for about a year. There has been a gradual reduction in speed, but I did not know enough to track the numbers, so I have no frame of reference over the year. I just got a new computer and was disappointed that the additional ram did not produce additional speed on my internet connection. I do not know how to find what Sat and transponder I am on. I looked on my control center page and did not find it there. Please tell me how to find this info and I will post with a speed test without the router connected. I am going to contact Hughes and see if I can get a tech out here for a check-up. Thanks All. Your help is GREATLY appreciated. Sharonkt

Download Connection is:: 110 Kbps about 0.11 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 13 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 55 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Upload Speed is:: 7 kB/s I cleaned up the system and ran Optimizer. I also changed the cable to another network port. This is a new computer and at this point I have nor installed Zone Alarm or any other security programs. My signal strength is 67. I am not FAP'ed at this time. I hit that level yesterday when I was updating software, but that is the first time I have ever ran over limit. I have not disconnected the system from the router, but will do to verify any changes. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and advice.

This is the first post for me. One question - Where do I find the info to educate myself and work towards getting the speeds this forum group is achieving? I have a DW7000 with a Linksys G router also.
