Gen5 install this weekend?
Hello Community Support (and @Liz )
I am ready to convert Hughesnet service at our shared vacation home to Gen-5. (I have been a customer for 6 years, still on a very slow and limiting HN9000 and Spaceway 3).
We will be at the remote home in Zip Code 95346/95335 on May 26, 27 and 28 (Fri, Sat, Sun). Is there any way to find an installer that might be available to perform the installation then ? Hughesnet’s appointment & scheduling system isn’t designed for people with our type of "vacation home" schedule … our next visit is in July and their scheduling doesn’t go out that far.

Thanks!
Hi guppypond,
There is a local dealer that services your area called Satellite Daddy. Their phone number is 866-808-1059. Press 1 for sales. Give them your account number, and they will create an upgrade order for you, and then come install your new system. Currently, they have availability on Friday afternoon.
Thanks!
Hi guppypond,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the community! Normally after you upgrade to Gen 5, an appointment date is set at the end of the upgrade call. Then the assigned dealer would reach out to you to confirm the appointment before visiting the site. At that time, I would suggest discussing your scheduling concerns with the dealer directly to work something out.
I've also let the installations department know about this, and if there's anything additional or different you need to know, our installations representative, Freddie, will jump in this thread as well.
