Modem still not working
I was meaning the nightmare of explaining what is going on and no one understanding on the phone my explanation that the router/modem is getting no signal at all. No one could understand what I was trying to say to them I truely appreciate them sending a tech, he changed the transmitter and it is still not getting any signal. He is trying another new modem/router. Still not getting a signal. He has tried 3 different routers and each one has done something different. He just keeps plugging away trying other things now. Ok, so the transmitter was bad was why the modem was getting no signal, and then once the transmitter was changed it wasn't getting a signal due to the dish had moved slightly. So if anyone ever experiences the modem cycling through the lights like that. It is a bad transmitter! Thank you hughesnet for finally getting my internet back up and running after a month without!
Hopefully if others encounter similar issues and frustrations they will come here, post a well-mannered post , and will keep in mind the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
The "nightmare with their service" includes them being kind and understanding and sending you a tech for free, saving you $95. They didn't have to do that.
gokartergo24 , you're an installer -- what else could be causing the OP's issues? Could it be her computer, software, hardware, etc.?

That was the cause in your instance. A cycling modem can be caused by a few different things.
I'm just glad they were able to get it fixed and get you back up and running. :)
