This process will work on most DirecWay and HughesNet Ku band modems!
Force-ranging a DirecWay or HughesNet modem allows it to optimize the connection between the satellite in the sky and your satellite antenna. HughesNet recommends that you force-range every new installation or after moving your system or re-commissioning.
1. Open your browser (Internet Explorer is recommended) and enter http://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html into the address bar in the browser.
2. Scroll down to find the Installation link then the Force-Ranging link and click “Ok” to Force-Range your modem.
3. When the status in the pop-up box shows TX 8 – Transmitter Ready, your system has been force-ranged.
4. You can close out those boxes accordingly and we recommend power cycling your modem to wrap up all of the changes.
