Unfortunatley, this is the general section..mostly for 'off topic' (fun) discussions having very little to do with HughesNet...
With this being a possible technical issue, I think it would be in your best interest to post your question into a new conversation under the Tech Support forum.
I'll go ahead and tag @Amanda who is one of only two Hughesnet corporate level employees that moderate these boards...given that your mom is not tech savvy, Amanda may be able to run some diagnostics from here end and see if anything unusual is going on, checking your moms signal, and looking for errors etc...
In the meantime, you may wish to call your mom and see if you can't get some more information as to what exact problems your mom is having...is there a specific time of the day she is experiencing problems? Any and all additional info you can give Amanda will most certainly help diagnose the problem and get your mom's service back up and running.
If I do see that you have copied this to the tech board, I'll reply to that one too and tag Amanda again 🙂
your welcome..
p.s Is your mom on Gen 4 or Gen 5 service? if you know what modem your mom is using, or brand of router, all of this is usful information as well and should be included.
Now that I think about it...I'm sure Amanda will be able to see all of this info when she runs a diagnostics although, given that you are her son, she may need to send you a private message so she can get some additional information...like your moms name, email address location etc...
Do NOT give out this type of private information publically on the forums...or to anyone else other than Amanda or Liz (they will have a 'mod' tag next to their username)
