741 TopicsOnce again connected without internet
We had a bad storm here last night and while for the worst of it our internet worked fine. Once the storm was over and only strong winds remained we lost our service. I have reset the modem multiple times with no luck. Sometimes the transmit light is also not on. Its everytime the clouds roll in or we have some wind, now we are stuck with connected without internet again. We are so frustrated and would just like to have this fixed. I can't afford another charge. After reaching out to customer support several times today with no response, I am ready to change providers. It is too ridiculous that Hughesnet doesn't have some sort of customer care representatives. I should not spend countless hours researching diy fix my internet and a million internet searches on how to get hughesnet to respond when their service doesn't work. They would be quick to respond if the bill wasn't paid.48Views0likes1CommentWiFi box
I got hugesnet recently when I moved into a rural area and I was really hoping I would love it. Within the first 2 days my modem would stop displaying any lights besides lan. I spoke with support around the time and they did troubleshooting nothing got fixed I finally reset it for about the 20th time and it worked. Fast forward 5-6 months later I have still had the issue persistently and I had not been recommended a new WiFi box. I want to note I work from home and have no cell phone service so I heavily rely on my WiFi. Come about 2 days ago my WiFi went out and I tried it all! Troubleshooting, rebooting, power cycling, everything. I finally was recommended to get a new WiFi box (should’ve happen from the start mine was used and shows obvious signs of being previously used/damaged). Come to find out unless I want to wait 7-10 business days it would be a 25$ shipping fee for 2 day shipping which is still ridiculous. I asked if a technician could come out as I HEAVILY rely on my WiFi and was told it would be a 150$ fee. So long story short I have been without WiFi for days and am unable to complete my jobs assignments. I assume I will wait on the new box as I have no other option but I am highly disappointed. Has anyone else gone through this?22Views0likes0CommentsHughesnet internet modem

My Hughesnet modem completely stopped working. The only lights that come on anymore is Lan and Wifi. The power light doesn't even come on. Technical support couldn't fix it and factory reset doesn't work. It was not a new modem when our service was installed a few months ago. Please send a new modem to replace this outdated and faulty one. Thanks...95Views0likes2CommentsHorrid speed and connection issues
Can someone please run a diagnostic test on my equipment? Like, before I run out of priority data. I’m at less than 40gb left!! Since getting service in October my priority data and standard data have always been slow.Priority data and standard data are always the same speeds and I need to prove it. I posted this Friday, and tonight with updates! Due to my internet being slow or out means even my hp pc and hp laptop do not give me the option to message or even reply to a PM! I just updated on my priority data, and 30 minutes of online gaming I went from 20% used all the way up to 80%. We have ran 5-6 devices throughout the weekend, and was fine until the game for 30 minutes? Is that normal? I pay for fusion and feel like I’m not getting that. Ran speed tests on testmynet and they say 97% of the WORLD has BETTER internet than I do. It also says my average is lower than hughsnets average? How/why is that? Should your subscribers not have minimum speeds at your average on standard and faster on standard? Now onto the original post … since October 29th, I have had nothing but issues with speed and outages. Ive been told by a tech that my boxes were too far apart. I’ve literally spent over 5 hours with customer support chat and fusions tech department, I have spent hours upon hours of troubleshooting. I have over 5 reference calls and I’ve been a customer only 3months and a few days! Its unfortunate how quickly we use data and I’m no expert but the slow speeds contribute to that! Just had 2-3 days of NO internet at all. I’ve had LTE blackouts, and no service BUT THE APP SAYS EVERYTHINGS perfect. Even when I’m on the app and supposedly have no dead zones and excellent signal quality! I have called customer service numerous times, and am told “your out of priority data” I have spent so much money on data tokens trying to see if that helps but it doesn’t and I went thru 20 on Thursday, in less than an hour! I don’t know how seeing as the internet was out all day! Please help us! My daughters dual enrolled in college and unable to get high school or college homework done due to the fact internet working properly only 1-2 days a week. I can’t send out invoices for my customers, I can’t even get on the satellite page to look at the system issues because my internet is constantly down. I have been through about 30 hours on the phone, got sucked into a special plan that was going to cost me 250 dollars a month and still dealt with the slowest internet ever when it works, with zero help from customer service and the fusion department. I have stated in phone calls over and over and over that there’s something actually wrong with the equipment but nobody actually helps! It’s not even guaranteed a tech will be scheduled or anything gets processed and full notes taken correctly when I waste my time troubleshooting for hours, and still have no solution. I can’t have these issues! maybe I just need new router and modem?! I know that I have a lot of devices on it but even when I use 1 item at a time I still have issues with speed and performance. I do have a mesh node, but the WiFi signal tests say I have excellent signal but I can’t do anything online. I have had issues since October 29th when the installation guy said there was a problem with installation. The last tech told me there was nothing that he nor hughsnet could do and did not replace any equipment even tho the lady at customer support said a box needed to be replaced, tech asked why but never replaced anything! I could go on, but if you look at my account you’ll see all the calls and troubleshooting.Solved1.6KViews0likes17CommentsDNS Issues
I called tech support 4-5 times by now over the last 4 days that my connection to multiple websites never happens. I’ve went through all the troubleshooting to determine why some websites and others dont. I tryed my other internet connection on those same websites and it works fine. When I call and explain I get gaslit and lied too that the websites are currently down, while im on the website in question on a different internet connection. I’ve been hung up on twice now and have had nothing resolved.175Views0likes2Comments
