Replacing a HT2000W modem with one I'm buying

I would like to purchase a Hughesnet supplied HT2000W modem to reduce my monthly bill. I found one for sale. Is there a guide showing the steps needed to replace my modem?

    As far as I know it doesn't work that way.  A lease account stays a lease account.  You can't replace the modem with one you've purchased and have the account converted into a purchase account.  

     

    Though I could be wrong about this, I believe the only way to change to a purchase account is to cancel your current leased service, wait for 45 days after the service has been terminated, and then sign back up with a purchase rather than as a lease.
