Correct me if i'm wrong but that dish looks like it used for open spectrum wireless it looks like to low of a shot for a sat dish look at the angle of the Feed horn

Maybe you guys can help me here. I have a DW 4000 and am only able to get to certain sites. I cant get to my Banking accounts and sometimes not even my  hotmail or yahoo.

I am looking at a 93 signal aimed at SATmex 5 and am in Cancun.

I have an DW 6000 that was bought on Ebay and need to get it going here any solutions? I can aim them and set the Xpol with know problem

many thanks for the tweaking lessons will apply them as my signal dio just drop to a 73

Please email me  as I am sure we are not supposed to use our email addresses directly

Thanks,

Mike

Duh. never thought to hit the modem direct (using a DLink router reconfigured to 172.16.0.1 BTW).

How is signal strength of 77? Overcast evening here near JAX.

What are awesome, good, bad and ugly strengths?

Thanks a lot.

Awesome would be in the 80-90's (you won't see this unless you have at least a .92 meter dish probably), good would be from about 60's-70's, and bad would be from about 40's-50's, and ugly would be anywhere in the 30's.

Right now I'm getting a 45 (I'm thinking there's a tree in the way).

BTW, you can't get a signal under 30.
