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?
Not sure if you're trolling.
BetterGoogleIt wroteNot sure if you're trolling.
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.
This is a geeks forum. Expect people to try to do the math ;)
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)
Ok, thank you for explaining. So it's like a long-range wireless transmission device? That's a good price too.
@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)
What if you want to download a 5Gb file in the morning?
And it doesn't support resume.

Most of security now is WPA which is hardly hackable

Wpa2 aes is practically uncrackable use 10+ mixed characters and symbols, theorically it would take sometime near 131,654 years with a modern computer

I got my Ogero modem 2 weeks ago. Password was same as SSID with the addition of @# . If the pass is easy to guess, I'm afraid the strongest encryption won't help

Your connection will get FUP'ed to 512K before 12PM and 254K after.
For optimum wireless security just use MAC address filtering, works like a charm

Not optimal when you can easily spoof a MAC address.

They will still need to know the list of whitelisted MAC addresses to masquerade their machine as one of the approved ones.

One should change his password.

Only if it was that easy... They don't give you the router's password, you have to call them
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.

it is possible however to get list of clients.
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...

How to break mac filtering
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... : )
