Re: Modem doesn't connect to internet
Liz, the new modem works. I mean, it actually works. Like, there's stuff out there on the interwebs!! :D Seriously, all I had to do was plug it in and change the WiFi SSID and password to what I was using before, and we're back up and running. The connection is pretty slow (I stopped timing the load time for the myHughesNet front page at 90 seconds), but at least it's there. I've created an account at testmy.net, and I'll post when I have some results, or if the connection improves on its own. In the meantime, I'll go mark your previous reply as the solution. THANK YOU!!5KViews3likes2CommentsModem doesn't connect to internet
I can access the modem via IP (192.168.42.1), but not via systemcontrolcenter.com. No internet connection when connected (via WiFi or direct ethernet cable), and the "system" light on the front of the modem is not on. I've powered it off (unplugged for 10 minutes) and also used the "reboot" feature in the control panel. Anything else I should try before concluding the modem is shot? Is there any chance this is anything other than a modem failure?Solved6.2KViews0likes15Comments
