    The code generally means your dish couldn't find a signal from the satellite. Usually that means severe rain was degrading the signal, but if it intermittently persists during good weather it could also mean foliage or tree branches/leaves blowing into the signal path. Might want to check the vicinity of the dish to make sure nothing's growing around it or into the area between the dish and transceiver (I recently had this happen) and/or there is no new tree growth in front of the dish.

     

    Doubtful that swapping modems did anything other than rebooting it by removing power, then re-powering it (note: never press the red reset button which could zeroize it, requiring a call to phone help in order to get it re-registered into the system).

     

    I would also advise you to edit the SAN out of your images. The SAN is your full account number and could be used in a phishing scheme to get your account information.

I was researching that code on HughesNet support that is where I figured it was a weather related code it was there for several week but we had intermittent use.  Yes we are in Spring break up and have had some minor snow, rain & cloud cover but yesterday all I had on the Modem as far as lights was the Wi-Fi & LAN.  Even at 6:45 am PST this am it was still not working until I did the following:   

I connected a spare modem we had recently cancelled. Let it set up but not re activate, then I removed that modem and put this one back online and it worked.  Maybe modem is going bad??
