If you're talking the complete router/satellite kit, it can work with hughes net. It isn't going to increase your speed because the bottleneck in that system is the hughesnet connection but it can increase your coverage area

I am in a rural area. HughesNet is the best Internet provider I can get here. I wanted to use my Orbi 753S system to extend the wifi throughout the house. I was able to connect the system and get it running, however, the router uses all of our data very quickly. Our HughesNet Modem is also a router, so, apparently I do not need another router. ?? Can my satellites connect to the HughesNet HT2010W modem/router? A HughesNet rep told me I could disable the router within the HughesNet modem, however, we have a guesthouse/rental on our property which accesses internet provided by this modem/router. The guest house is about 100 yards from the main house. I am afraid my Orbi system will not project the signal that far. Therefore, I do not want to disable the router part of our HughesNet modem and end what little internet connection there is at the guest house. Yet, I still need to extend wifi throughout the main house. Can my Orbi satellites extend wifi from the HughesNet modem/router without the Orbi router?
