Hello all! Lizzie is enjoying a beach, or a pool, or something far away from here in cold, snowy Denver and asked me to post the link to this week's Wifi Friday!
This week is a quick overview of the Viasat Wireless Gateway, Viasat's new modem exclusive to the Viasat 2 satellite. The article goes a bit into the bones of the device, as well as the reasons behind its unique shape.

Okaaaaay, and I want to know this why? Existing customers won't see viasat 2 until 2020 (probably) , and by then it will be just as congested as Viasat 1.
How about useful info like some actual customer reviews of the gateway? It's all garbage if the unit has enough limitations that you HAVE to use a router behind it to get the job done. Pretty shape does not make a good unit. I want to know "Where's the beef?"

How about useful info like some actual customer reviews of the gateway?How about customers supply those and not Lizzie, Matt B or the Marketing and Corporate Communications department? Try Wendy's for the other question.

I am not sure there are many customers out there that can supply much of anything. We have onky heard from a couple on here and they are not very active.
So let's berate Matt B and Lizzie for doing their jobs, I guess...
Everybody's grumpy because they aren't at liberty to provide a detailed roll-out schedule - let's shoot the messengers.

I'm having beans and rice tonight.
Wrong forum and exactly why I am not on Book Face.
And cookies for desert.

I'm having it for dessert, not advocating for desertion, a lethal practice in either approach.
This will all make sense if you study if for a bit, but suffice it say that in lieu of attempting to understand the totality of my ravings, know that they are in essence merely a spelling correction.

Viasat's modems are more interesting looking than what I get with HughesNet, especially the previous model with all of the different colored lights.

A lot on here like to call the VS2 Wireless Gateway modem "The Toblerone" modem (after the triangle shaped candy). Keeping in with the "pyramid shape" this is a early sneak peak at our Voice phones:

Ten million zillion points goes out to Brad!
Does it have a wired connection?
It has two wired (Ethernet/LAN) ports. See page 2 at:

Oh, perfect!
File saved just in case they ever get me a VS2 beam.
Thanks.
