Hopper with external sling problems

[wippernm]

I had Dishnet installed on Nov. 1 and attached the modem to my Belden N+ Router, I get internet everywhere the router is authorized. I ran a Cat6 cable from the router to the Hopper to have a better connection than to use the dish wireless adapter.

My problem is that the sling loses connectivity with the hopper on a regular basis. I had problems with a sling adapter and Dish replaced it with the current one. I have to unplug the sling and re-plug to get it to connect to the hopper and the red light to activate.

I try to access Dishanywhere and I can not establish a connection. My laptop is connected to the router with a wireless internal adapter that verifies the connection.

I don't know whether the problem is with the Hopper, the sling adapter or the Dishnet modem and connection. What advise does anyone have that might address this issue?

Did you try another usb port for the sling? If you have dish net sat Internet and sling, you could burn all your data in a single day of use depending on your viewing habits.
