Jay, thank you again.
My understanding, from what I've seen on this site when HN sends a new modem to a subscriber, is that the subscriber does the activation.

How do i do that?

If you're referring to the original modem from your installation, this is normal. It's a different process to install a modem for the first time than it is when a modem is being replaced. The tech has to do it the first time.
For the replacement modem, it's automatic. Basically, connecting the new modem and waiting an hour for it to activate, during which time accessing the internet won't be possible. Then, after that hour, check to to make sure everything is okay by using a device to go online.
However, that you waited for four hours and it still wasn't activated indicates an issue.
Edit: For reference, the HT2000W replacement guide is here.

I looked at it and I think that if for the technician to do all that. I just want to replace my old modem to the new one.

I have tried it several times and followed all the instructions but still won't work. I'll keep trying.

Im not sure but maybe the new modem is bad????

Deb, Gabe posted the 12-page guide for replacing the modem, and it's the one the subscriber needs to use. Doesn't look difficult.

Oh, well, that's different. Maybe the reps here will have an answer for you. EDIT: it looks like all you do is connect the new modem, power it on, and wait an hour for it to activate itself.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out here in the community! After taking a look at your account, I see that we had a new modem shipped to you on Sunday. Have you received this modem?

The original post is referencing the modem we sent on the 24th. We sent another on the 29th (Sunday), so I want to check to see if the newest modem didn't work either.

Last night I once again followed all the instructions and let the new modem on all night. I still only has the 3 lights on. (power light, wifi light and lan light). I'm at now and have left the new modem on for the day. I am attaching a picture of the Hughes Net home page as of 8:00am this morning. Thank you for anything that you can help me with.
- DEBPOSTON6 years agoJunior
yes, but i will not set up. Please further down in the thread.

Jay: I have not yet received the 2nd new modem. When I get it I will try to get that one set up.
- Jay6 years agoModerator
Let us know if the new modem does not work and if it does not work for you, we will have a tech come out to resolve the issue for you.

~Jay: I sure will and thank you.
- DEBPOSTON6 years agoJuniorThey sent me a voice modem. Not the satellite internet modem. Can you see if they can send me the HughesNet HT2000W? Thank you for anything you can do to help.
- DEBPOSTON6 years agoJunior
I received a voice modem instead of the HT2000w. I'm still without internet and using my mobile data which is costing me a small fortune. Please advise.
- DEBPOSTON6 years agoJunior
Thank you so much.

Jay, I work 15 hours a day at our Tax Preperation office 6 days a week until April 15, 2020. Can you make the appt for April 16 in the afternoon? Thank you so much.
- Jay6 years agoModerator
DEBPOSTON,
Is there anyone who may be able to meet the tech there or are you able to take a few hours to complete the repair? I do not want you to have to wait two weeks to get back up and running.
