A strange case.

Hello, I'm new to this satellite internet thing but from what I have read this system works well for email, web browsing and even some video viewing. First, I have a primary internet service provider ...

    Good morning ArchMDD,

     

    Thank you for this update. We're working on expediting a tech visit to address the sparking. In the meantime, please unplug the modem's power cable from its power brick to be safe.

     

    I'll keep you updated if I have any other news on this dispatch.

    Hello, as a last post I'd like to share what we found.  I resetted my entire Network on both my PC and phones.  I deleted Crossfire DNS from both the IPV4 and 6.  I left both of the settings to be decided by provider.  Configuring the router of my primary internet service I chose Crossfire DNS.  Configuring Hughes Net router for Googles DNS.  The DNS are on the routers, not on my PC settings.  This solved the problem.  Thanks! I really, really wanted this service to work. I'm glad.

      Good morning ArchMDD,

       

      Thank you for messaging me the requested info. I ran diagnostics on your site and I see that it is online. Currently I see there's a Samsung and a Xiaomi device connected.

       

      Are you able to browse the internet on the Samsung? It only has a fair signal strength so you might want to test it while closer to the modem, or switching it to the 2.4 GHz network which has a larger range.

        That is interesting, the Xiaomi is not responding to the network. Yes, I can browse the internet and YouTube on the Samsung. However, the wireless icon says "Internet may not be available. "

        My other Samsung phone says the same no internet. When I connect the PC i can browse 1 to 2 pages before the connection times out and then I can't access anything.

        A technician will come on Sept 22, but I'd like to do everything I can to fix this up. When I run the Speed test on that one phone I got 11mbps today, but no upload.
