Been so busy past few years, grandkids seem to keep you on the run. I hadn't chatted with EWO in a while but he did send me some pictures to compare when he got about 4 inches of snow one time. Had wanted to take a ride and meet in person but kept putting it off, now I'll have to wait a little. -
Biggles, you speak wise and gentlemanly. Would U be my friend?

I have never found anything to reduce the power of the modem, I don't think you would want to though and as for lasting longer, who knows.As for the micro waves we are constantly bombarded with them anyway, all you added is the transmit. I do know I had a speed problem when I first got my setup. I called Sprint and got an engineer who told me I was directly between two towers and I may be jumping back and forth. He told me what tower had the faster throughput and I placed the modem (plugged into the Linksys with a Trucker antenna attached) in a position that blocked it somewhat from the

So if these truckers are going faster that means we can go faster too

Sure is, supposed to get to -2 degrees tomorrow and is snowing right now.

That is all the things I have gone trough since I bought my first when PII's came out and I may have not listed them all. I have 4 running PC's at home and a laptop I use on the road all put together or refurbished by myself and after being self taught. Started with dial-up, then added one-way satellite, then going to 2-way satellite and now with Sprint EVDO and finding free. WiFi with the laptop. ll this to make some use of the PC. I seem to like it when problems arise though, keeps me thinking.

Here is a site that has much of the information that you need and I had to find out before it became FAQ's http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite

This is a network switch not a TV switch. It automatically routes computers on a network. I think your research is yet to continue.

Your right, transmitting makes it more precise and the larger the dish also. I found it best to use a switch connected to the modem if you don't want to use a wireless router (can also double as a switch). It also adds more connectivity plus they can be added in down the line extending your networking distance (footage).

I'm not sure about what you mean about using a splitter. You can only use one modem per account, meaning you cannot use a splitters to run 2 modems from one satellite dish. You must know what satellite you will be on and only Hughes assigns that no matter what a dealer may say. I'm not up on current satellites since going to Sprint over a year ago. You cannot do your on install but you can set the pipe mount after you get an account with Hughes and know the satellite your on. I did experiment with my system moving my dish locations at home, very sensitive adjustments and hard even unders
