Hughes DW6000 User Manual

The DW6000, in combination with an antenna, can provide satellite 
connectivity for multiple computers on a wireless or wired (Ethernet) local area 
network (LAN). After the DW6000 and network are installed, every computer 
on the network can surf the Internet via the satellite signal. 

Connect multiple home computers and laptops to a single DIRECWAY 

Internet connection at no additional cost. Home networking equipment required but 
not included. For network setup, support and configuration, contact your network 
hardware manufacturer and/or operating system software developer (HUGHES is 
not responsible for home network management or troubleshooting). Simultaneous 
use of high bandwidth applications by multiple users may result in degradation of 
speed. Actual speeds may vary. Speed and uninterrupted use of service are not 
guaranteed.

If you connect the DW6000 to a LAN, you must:

• Install and configure an Ethernet hub (or a router if you have a static IP 

address) or wireless network base station.

• Install and configure a network interface card (NIC) (also called adapters) 

in each computer you want to connect to the network. The NICs must be set 
to auto-negotiate. Refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

• If using a wired network, connect the computers to the Ethernet hub with 

Ethernet cable.
