Re: [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade promotion?
$600? Is that for the dish and modem, or just the modem?

I believe that is the price if someone currently not a customer calls up and wants to get satellite Internet.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we have any information yet about upgrades for current DW4000 users. Surely it will be quite a bit less than $600.

| I sure hope so. I wanted to upgrade and filled out the upgrade information with DirecWay but then I saw that 600.00 and it didn't state exactly what it was for and quickly got the upgrade outta my mind. Hope to hear some more info soon.

Thanks for the link, Mike.
Is it just me, or are they being coy about pricing for the upgrade?

Re: [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade promotion?
Since the software is on the modem itself, am I correct in thinking that this will be a non-tweakable setup? Will the RWIN and other DrTcp settings on a computer actually be used by the modem? What about the max connections setting in the registry? PetDude?

Good question. I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know ?

Re: [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade
If you go back to the myDirecway website and look at the page, there's a link in the middle that takes you to another page and there's a tab for upgrading the modem. You can fill it out and you will be notified when it's available. What I read was that you only replace the modem and nothing else. You can still use the same dish. It will use ethernet cables.

Since PetDude hasn't checked in yet, the DW6000, like the DW4020 is pretty much untweakable from what I've heard. 
Just the LAN tweaks like the LCCU does for the clients.
It is (they are) a stand alone modem that is connected to the computers over ethernet cables. No USB connection or host DAK software required.

So technically they could limit download and upload speed with the modem itself and there be nothing we could do to change that? |

Yes, but they can do that now on the SRS and DRS systems and you can't change them. I refer to AOL+ being capped to around 600 kbps and the DW CE FAP at 169 megs.

| Yes, I know about FAP. So as they cap AOL Plus around 600kbps down they may/can do the same thing with our current setups, IE. DW4000 along with the new 6000 model?

I'm not going to speculate on the future and start rumors, but the system is capable of many types of controls.
Consumers have wanted an all in one box that is OS platform independent for a long time and the DW4020 and DW6000 are to fill this bill.

My Boss is getting the new DW6000 Wednesday. So hopefully I'll have a chance to understand it better. I have also "inquired" about the upgrade for myself.
Reading this thread, I understand that it isn't "tweakable." Does that mean I can't do a thing with the Dr.TCP tweaks, or what tweaks can't be touched? How could this effect the performance I have now... better or worse?

What would you tweak? There would be no more satellite USB device to dance with.
