Care of your satellite router

Connecting a network – If you want to connect a network to the satellite router, this requires
an Ethernet hub or other such device. You must supply and configure the hub and cables.
Static IP address – The computer can be configured to use a static IP address if the HughesNet
service plan provides for one or more static IP addresses. If the computer is configured to use a
specific static IP address, disable DHCP. For additional information see
to use DHCP.
