Not sure if you're trolling.hussam wroteWiseBox doesn't use a satellite connection.
It's 12xx ms single direction to the moon at the speed of light. A two way direction to a satellite close to earth can't be less than 300s ms.
Edit: Actually nevermind. Let us calculate this before making estimations. It could be 40ms if the numbers fit. How far is the satellite from earth?
No Landline - Best Internet Connection?

Why is it trolling? It is a legitimate question. Assuming this really was a satellite internet connection similar to what VISP had from 2004 till 2014, it would be interesting to calculate what the minimal theoretical (mathematical latency) which is the time light takes to travel from point A on earth to the satellite then point B on earth. In VISP's case, it was an almost constant 500ms.BetterGoogleIt wroteNot sure if you're trolling.
This is a geeks forum. Expect people to try to do the math ;)
Ok, thank you for explaining. So it's like a long-range wireless transmission device? That's a good price too.Johnaudi wroteIt's not really a satellite connection, pardon me, it's a Dish connection.
Since the cables are extremely bad in Lebanon, I am using a Sextant G to connect to my provider's headquarters, and he's giving me a 4-8M connection with 4GB/day traffic. Ping is amazing too. (for 100,000L.L a month)

@hussam yes, it most likely is just a transmission device since you can't trust Ogero's PO anymore, they never have room available and always overdriven. And let's not talk about the distance... My sextant G is placed on my roof giving about 30Mbps, and causing about 5ms of transfer time to the ISP. Distance to the nearest ogero PO is less than 2km and they can give me a maximum of for 4M speed. Whereas there's about 3-4km with my provider and can give me a higher speed for the same price. (Oh, and it's unlimited, too! End of day quota is 4GB, but doesn't cut you on your month)

For optimum wireless security just use MAC address filtering, works like a charm
Not optimal when you can easily spoof a MAC address.Salloum wroteFor optimum wireless security just use MAC address filtering, works like a charm

When i had ogero router, it was about user/user and pass changed.
Yes but you still need to know the MAC that are entered into the filtering system, so it's not that easy. Couple a MAC filtering with WPA2 and I doubt anyone could get in there.samer wroteNot optimal when you can easily spoof a MAC address.Salloum wroteFor optimum wireless security just use MAC address filtering, works like a charm

But anyway, if your password is wpa encrypted, long and mixed, you're safe.
I would bet on it, my ISP gives the best microwave non cached connection.


Speedtest is just fake... they cache common websites, now good luck with torrents, youtube, etc...


i, personally, won't do all that to get 1 or 2 mbps lol... i'm using mac filtering without any encryption for about 4 years... no one tried to hack my network in anyway... : )TheStunMan wroteHow to break mac filteringhussam wroteThey will still need to know the list of whitelisted MAC addresses to masquerade their machine as one of the approved ones.samer wrote Not optimal when you can easily spoof a MAC address.
