Hugesnet told me any router will work. (As usual, ask the same question to different phone reps and you'll get different answers). I purchased a $50 TP-Link and Netflix doesn't bog down or disconnect anymore. The router portion of the Hugesnet modem sucks and the install tech even told me so. He even tried to sell me a router off his truck! I ordered mine from Amazon and had it next day free with prime.
My Hugesnet modem measures 35 to 40 kbps coming in from the dish as measured here. I receive most of this speed only if I hardwire my desktop into the modem. WiFi speeds are more like 4 to 5 setting up right next to the modem. (Forget about uploading). My installation technician told me the router they supply sucks and I'd say he is right. Would purchasing a separate quality router help me receive more of the speed the dish is sending to the modem?
