    Again, I would like to thank all that helped correct my problem.  I have a 13.6 download and a 4.8 upload speed tonight. It appears that my problem has been solved. I will accept this as the solution and close this thread. Thank you very much.

Liz and Gabe thank you for your help with my problem.  The installation technician came today and replaced the modem and the receiver thing on the dish.  I am back to speeds I expect which are in the 18-20+ range for download and 2.5 or so for upload.  I did not connect the laptop tonight but I am receiving these speeds through the modem WiFi. Y’all have been great helping with this situation and I thank you immensely for the assistance.  I am going to leave this thread open for a couple of more days before I accept the solution to make sure it continues to operate, as I am sure it will,  correctly.  Again, I appreciate your professionalism while taking care of my problem.

That's great news.  I'm glad it's back in working order.  It's always nice to have things working the way they should, especially when it's something we rely on more and more each day. 

 

And I was happy to help.  For the most part, I've had pretty good service from HughesNet over the 14+ years I've had it, and when I've needed help or had questions I've been able to get it here.  I enjoy paying it forward and helping others to experience the same.  :)
