Does the host satellite have to be connected to a computer at all times? I am very new to any type of network. Please help!!!

This is a pretty advanced device. It is used for point to point networks. You need a computer to configure this device through its web interface. It does not need permanent connectivity to a host.

It needs to be hooked up to a computer to get set up. It doesn't need the computer to function. It is complicated to set up. I had my IT friend do it and it took him a few hours.

First, a satellite is something that orbits another object. Typically we think of something like the International Space Station which orbits the earth. The NanoBridge M5 or similar devices are terrestrial point to point (or sometimes point to multipoint) devices which essentially fake out having a CAT5 type cable connecting two network devices. Without devices connected, you're just creating heat.Bottom line, I have no idea what you are trying to connect but something certainly needs to be at each end.

I connect in tower, it works great. My tower is not set up for wireless, so just plug into USB on computer.

Its satellite based, it will work anywhere. During setup your need to set your region .

Because the satellite transmission would interfere with the moca box on your network, so your network would probably work but you wont get a signal, its only currently compatible with regular cable tv. Though I read there is a work around to make it work with satellite tv but that it was complicated for the average consumer so they market it as incompatible as of now until they come out with a work around.

You need your computer to set it up. After it is configured it can be off. Your wireless network is all that need be on.

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

You can use this device anywhere via: Bluetooth, Lan port (RJ-45 Ethernet socket), WiFi and HDMI. All those interfaces work regardless what carries the signal. What you need before to connect any type of computer is a modem and a router or mode/router device. Short answer is YES you can use this laptop on DSL+Satellite

This device is first and foremost for connecting your computer to a wireless network. It will not necessarily connect to a cable, satellite or over the air television connection. However, once connected to the internet or a network (such as one in your home), it is fast enough to allow for HD content to be transmitted. I personally have connected it to a WD TV-Live box, which then connects to my home network. I can then stream Netflix or video files I have on a computer on my home network.

I have set up to my home network and do everything through a PC or Laptop, so I don't know the exact answer to this question. Even if it is possible the way you ask, it is definitely handy to do it through a PC

While technically it may work, the lag will make it unusable. Let's say you place a call successfully- your voice has to be transmitted out to the satellite, back down to Hughesnet's ground station and then through the conventional Internet servers and routers. This option isn't worth your time or money. (Source: my 70+ year old parents have Hughesnet and I've handled a lot of connectivity issues for them and used the service extensively while visiting.)

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

It connects to one computer. Setup sharing on the computer it is connected to make visible across the network.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

yes it does have to be connected to your network to use airplay via ethernet cable also think that the net radio is incredible over 15000 stations you can bookmark your favorites you have to add themfrom your computer for them to be avalible on the receiver but its fast and easy love this feature

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.

Yes, as far as I can tell you need the base station to make the entire system work. The satellite stations are only chargers. You need to base station to connect everything together, but it works perfectly.

This is Kevin From ReplacementRadios. Satellite capability is required for this particular interface. You must have a button with SAT or XM on it to use this.
