For a large ship the actual useable channel is only a few metres wider than the ship. Stray beyond the limits and the bottom starts to attract the ship quite strongly. If a small correction is made early then there is no problem, but you are late, or make a violent correction then the chances of getting stuck rise very quickly indeed and one ends up in, at best, a very embarrassing position, at worst stuck fast.

(I hope....) Due to the Hopper3 continually dropping off the network, we had another Technician out on Sunday. I informed him of ALL the troubles we've had since the original installation on 2-24. I also informed him of the troubles I resolved through the new Linksys Velop Mesh Network. The FINAL issue with the Hopper3 DVR was that EVERY NIGHT after the 3AM Auto-Updates, that the DVR would 'lose' its valid IP Address of 10.x.x.x and go to an 'Internal' Non-Routable IP Address of 169.x.x.x. So he went into the programming of the DVR to find the Auto-Updater and 'deactivate' it. (Not recommended, but would in fact stop the loss of the valid IP Address from/for the Mesh Network.) I also have the DVR wired by Ethernet - Cat5e Cable. When I watched him get into the Auto-Update area of the DVR, he scrolled through the clock timer settings. Unfortunately the 'Never' update selection has been removed by DISH.... So, we manually went back to 3AM. NOW here's the 'funny' part.... Since performing a manual selection of 3AM, the DVR has NOT lost its IP Address!!! So, to restate, I 'think' the DVR problem has been resolved. NOW, we FINALLY have 'perfected' DISH Network TV service. :-) TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 2072166 ·

Especially so using cat6 cables or even fibre. Cat5e works for Gigabits so long as the cable isn't too long and no nasty 90deg sharp bends or kinks. Good luck!

Cat5e works for Gigabits so long as the cable isn't too long and no nasty 90deg sharp bends or kinks. Good luck! Thanks, Martin. Yes, I agree with being Wired vs. Wireless, too. In fact, the nice thing about the Linksys Velop Mesh Network is that ALL the Nodes have Wired Ports. (Gigabit.) So, we have one Node at each Wireless Joey STB. I added a Netgear GS-108, 8-Port Gigabit Switch at the Family Room Node, and the Samsung 65" Smart TV, the Sony Blu-Ray Player, AND the Wireless Joey STB are ALL connected by Cat5e Cables to the Netgear Switch. Then, the Netgear Switch on Port 8 connects by Cat5e to the Family Room Mesh Node. Streaming Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have GREATLY improved over the Wired Port on the Switch-to-Node connection from/to the Samsung Smart TV. ONLY our computers are connecting via WiFi to the Nodes. One Node in the Master Bedroom, one in my bedroom, one in the spare bedroom, one in the Family Room, and the Master Node/Router in my Attic-Computer Room connected by Cat5e to our AT&T U-Verse Gateway. My bedroom now has a Netgear GS-105, 5-Port Gigabit Switch. My 32" Samsung Smart TV, my Panasonic Blu-Ray Player, and the Joey STB are all on Cat5e to the GS-105. The GS-105 on Port 5 goes to the Mesh Node. TL [EDIT:] Edited to add the Family Room Mesh Node. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 2072175 ·
