If you are experiencing issues with your HughesNet service and you can’t get online, the first thing you’ll need to do is reset your modem to get things back up and running again. This process will only take about 5 minutes of your time, but the results should last you much longer. .
You may have forgotten the password that protects your HughesNet modem, and you need to access the user interface in order to make changes. You’ll be able to reset your modem in minutes if you follow these steps and use the default password included with your modem when you purchase it. If you don’t have this information, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) directly or reset your modem using the default factory settings. Here’s how to reset your HughesNet modem in three easy steps.
Step 1: Know What’s Wrong
If your HughesNet modem has stopped working or is acting strangely, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take before calling customer service. The first thing you should do is power off the unit by unplugging it and waiting for five minutes. Once the unit has been off for five minutes, plug it back into an outlet and wait while it boots up. If the device still isn’t working after powering on and restarting, then it’s time to call customer service. You may also want to try rebooting the modem, as that might solve any problems that have cropped up since you last did so. Step 2: Turn Off Power: First, turn off all of your other devices (i.e., computers) and turn off power to the HughesNet device by flipping the breaker switch or pulling out its electrical cord from an outlet. Wait at least 5 minutes before turning on power again and plugging everything in again. Now check if everything works correctly. If not, contact customer service immediately!
Step 2: Unplug the Device
1) Unplug the device. It’s important not to simply turn off your modem, as that will only reset the device and you won’t be able to connect until it is turned back on again. Unplugging it ensures you are disconnecting the power source and making sure it can’t connect. 2) Turn the device off by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds or more. 3) Once it has been unplugged, wait at least five minutes before turning it back on (or plugging it back in). 4) Plug the device back in when you’re ready to use it again. 5) If this doesn’t work, try steps one through three with a different electrical outlet. 6) If this still doesn’t work, contact customer service. 7) Let them know that your issue might need an engineer to take a look at it. 8) Tell them about the issue and what happened since you last contacted them. 9) In addition, provide details about what kind of error message you saw before the reset. 10) Keep your modem close so they can talk to tech support directly without losing any additional time looking for their information while they fix things on their end. 11) When you get disconnected from HughesNet customer service, please call back immediately if there was any change in status or resolve of problem issues!
Step 3: Plug it back in
Plug the modem back in and wait for it to reconnect. This can take a few minutes. The modem will automatically reset once it has reconnected. If you have an alarm system, please ensure that it is programmed before you restart the modem. If you are not sure how to program your alarm system, please contact your service provider. When you’re ready, click Reset and then Yes on the screen that appears. Now go ahead and plug the power cord back in (you might need an extension cord). Wait at least 30 seconds for any smoke or sparks to clear before turning off or unplugging your modem. If you need help setting up the new wifi name and password for this device, please follow these instructions:
