Does Hughesnet Work with My Wireless Thermostat, Security Systems and Lighting?

Hughesnet^® does support remote home devices that allow you to control your lights and thermostats (such as Nest and Philips Hue) from your smart phones. Security devices that allow you to watch video in the cloud are also supported. Devices that require a static or routable IP address will not work. Reference the device manual to learn if a static IP address is required for the product.

What is SmartTechnologies?

A feature, previously known as SmartBrowsing, that optimizes your Web experience.

Hughesnet^® automatically compresses and optimizes web content with built-in SmartTechnologies^™, to make Web pages load faster while using less of your data.

The feature, previously known as SmartBrowsing was available in limited areas.

What happens if I use all the data within my plan before the month ends?

Hughesnet^® Gen4 and Hughesnet Gen5 service plans feature Unlimited Data with No Hard Data Limits. If you exceed the amount of data in your plan, we won’t cut you off or charge you more. You stay connected at reduced speeds, typically 1-3 Mbps. Major streaming providers state on their websites that watching videos with DVD quality (aka Standard Definition) is possible at .5 to 1.5 Mbps (you can refer to the chart below). In periods of network congestion, speed may be slower and could be less than 1 Mbps which may mean that some applications will be slower to run, and you may see buffering in video playback. You can purchase extra data, called Data Tokens, to bring you back to full speed.

Streaming Service	Recommended SD Streaming Rate
Netflix	1 Mbps
Amazon Prime Video	1 Mbps
Hulu	1.5 Mbps
YouTube	.7 Mbps

How do I Schedule/delay Windows Updates?

You can delay automatic Windows updates from installing on your PC until the Bonus Zone hours to maximize your Service Plan Data.

Why does Windows update automatically?

With automatic updating, Windows automatically checks for the latest updates for your computer. You don’t have to search for updates online or worry that critical fixes for Windows might be missing from your computer.

You can fully utilize all of your Hughesnet^® data by rescheduling your updates to occur during the Bonus Zone (formerly Bonus Bytes) of 8 PM and 2 AM.

How do I schedule Windows Updates?

On Windows 11:

Select Start > Settings > Windows Update .
Select the amount of time you’d like to pause for.

Note: After the pause limit is reached, you’ll need to install the latest updates before you can pause updates again.

Your device will need to restart to finish installing updates. If you’re asked to restart your device while you’re busy using it, you can schedule the restart for a more convenient time:

Select Start > Settings > Windows Update .
Select Schedule the restart and choose a time that’s convenient for you.

Note: You can set active hours to make sure your device only restarts for updates when you’re not using your PC. Get updates when you’re away from your PC with active hours in Windows

On Windows 10:

Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update .
Select either Pause updates for 7 days or Advanced options. Then, in the Pause updates section, select the drop-down menu and specify a date for updates to resume.

Note: After the pause limit is reached, you’ll need to install the latest updates before you can pause updates again.

Your device will need to restart to finish installing updates. If you’re asked to restart your device while you’re busy using it, you can schedule the restart for a more convenient time:
