Internet down sqf 15 no transmit, receive, or system lights

Hey there. Internet has been down for over a week now. Initially the issue started about a month ago and I could power cycle the modem and it would temporarily fix the problem, this no longer works. System, receive, and transmit lights are not illuminating. Signal quality is at 15. Checked all coax connections, I even brought modem and router outside and hooked directly to coax going to transmitter with no signal change ( to rule out connection issues due to long length of cable). I also should mention I have the ht1100 modem. Attempted to reset modem and now it is stuck on the pointing process due to the low sqf. I’m assuming my modem is the problem, or possibly the radio considering the sqf will change 1 or 2 points if I “nudge” the satellite, and occasionally jump to 29 or so sporadically for a second or so. Any help would be appreciated

@Jakelawrence,

 

Thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this. I also apologize for the delay in response. I took a look into this and ran diagnostics on your equipment myself. I can definitely confirm that your signal strength is extremely low but the modem itself does seem to be functioning properly. This means a re-point is required and a possible radio replacement as well. The radio replacement depends on the results after the dish has been re-pointed. If you do end up having a technician come out, they will have a radio transmitter replacement ready to be installed, just in case. While I do wish this could be resolved remotely, a re-point of the dish and possible replacement of the radio would need to be performed by a technician on site. 

 

At this time, your options are to have a technician sent out either by calling our support number or having me process one specifically, or upgrading to GEN 5. Both of these would resolve this issue but based on your previous comments, I'm sure a repair is what you are leaning more towards. Please let me know what you would like to do going forward.
