What is the difference between the DW7000 modem and the DW6000 modem?
The DW7000 is the next generation HUGHESNET System modem with a sleek new design. It makes connecting to the Internet easier by incorporating HUGHESNET software inside the DW7000 unit. So, there’s no HUGHESNET software to load on your computer, or upgrades to download. The DW7000 automatically updates itself via the satellite. Also, the DW7000 modem houses both the transmit and receive components in one compact unit, unlike the DW6000 that has a separate transmit and receive modem stacked together and linked by a 24-pin serial cord.
