Watchdog Violation
I think what Damian is trying to say is that the modems are now running 802.11ax by default. In theory, devices designed to see older protocols (e.g., 802.11g) should recognize it, however some aren't even recognizing there's even an available wifi channel.
Try logging into your wifi settings: (http://192.168.42.1/wireless_main.htm?t=1707568432118) and changing the protocol for the wifi band that you're trying to use from 11ax to either 11g, 11n, or 11ac (whatever you were using before) and see if it now works.
I cannot do anything with that link. It asks for an administrative password. My hughesnet password doesn't work.
The wifi admin password is usually on the back of the device. If not, it's usually just 'admin' until you change it.
neither works and no option to change
The only way 'admin' (without the single-quotes and all lower case) isn't the appropriate password is if someone changed it and never wrote it down, nor told you it was changed from the default. That's a real problem, because resetting it will most likely be a convoluted process that may require one of the HughesNet administrators.
Try this password: admin
doesn't work.
