[HN7000S] New Software Release

No change here yet...still on 5.6.1.35. After our last update, we saw some glitches and bumps for a few weeks and then things seemed to stabilize and improve a little over performance pre-reset. Let's see what this one brings....

5.8.0.49 came through to a lot of VAR customers, including me, a week ago. Both 7000 and 7000S

For hnFAPmon users, the modem def line for this release is:

'5.8.0.49' => '/cgi/execAdvCom.bin?Command=75',

Thanks dbirdman. That put hnFapmon back on track.

Prior to this update, I always had an Inroute Group of 11. Now I have two, 31 and 41. It sort of toggles back and forth. .. As well, I am noting an enormous amount of failed transmissions. I just ran HughesNet's speedtest three times after clearing stats and had 374 failed transmissions. .. Before this "change", my failed transmission rate was always in the neighborhood of 0.01% or better. Now it's running at near 1% at times. .. Anyone noticing anything similar?

Well, lots of changes over the past 10 days. First, the Inroute Group change to 31 and 41 (from 11), then two nights later the new software. Everyone keep an eye on your Inroute Group to see if it changes with the new software, or a day or two prior.

Thus far, I'm not a happy camper with the change. Transmit errors wayyyy up from the 0.01% I used to have. Sometimes, in diagnostics in the five minute windows, it says 6% loss. The loss seems to come in "bursts" .. sometimes browsing with no loss, then out of the blue 300 or more failed transmissions.

Another change I noted a few weeks back is the Firewall, in the System Info said "Enabled", but clicking on Firewall revealed it as "Disabled". Now it says:

General Config Bad fragment check: Enabled
Ifc Validation Check: DISABLED
Management IP Address: 10.XXX.XX.XX
Under Policy Stats:

ACL Statistics
--------------
ACL is Enabled from the NOC Side
Total num of valid rules: 2
Total num Packets Received: 2859329
Total num Packets Dropped: 0

So, I'm hoping they "fine tune" things, as browsing is sometimes Very sluggish, and I am getting "Marginals" and "Bads" where I always had "Good" in Diagnostics. Don't think it's anything on my end, as all these changes seem to correlate with the time I started receiving so many Nak'd transmissions. (Edit): Timing applications are suffering. And, when doing online transactions, I sometimes encounter difficulty. At this time, until things improve, I'm afraid to do any business online.

Here's my stats, and they ain't pretty. The loss percentage is just the average. As stated, the five minute windows have shown as much as 6% loss.

wa5sox1 I have found that after some Software updates I have to do a forced ranging to get things back to normal. Try it it won't hurt anything if it doesn't help.

Repeating what Tobicat said...Now that I think about it, it was the forced ranging that cleared up things for us on the last update.

Still no update here yet...

Still same.

Yesterday evening my HN7000S was displaying heavy download activity. I turned off all the computers and finally turned off the router and the activity did not diminish. I checked useage this morning and it was about 205mb in that timeslot. Was this the update? And why wasn't I fapped?

The only thing answerable in your questions is that it was not the firmware update. That is relatively small, and doesn't show in usage.

A huge Vista SP2 at 345MB has been hitting a lot of people, but of course that would stop when you turned off your router, and definitely would FAP you if allowed to run.

reply to wa5sox1
Got my update last night. So far the only change I have found is the System Status page now shows the Diagnostics Code hourly and recent. It would be nice if Hughes would let us know what the system upgrade's do!

Hubby was complaining about some computer issues when I came home from work. I told him that by his description, the internet wasn't working. Sure enough, he must have been getting the upgrade while trying to surf, cuz we have it too! Now to see what it "improved".
