First Steps Before You Call

1
Check whether it is just you
If a neighbour on the same HughesNet service is also down, it is an area fault rather than your equipment, and the fix is different.
2
Power cycle the HughesNet modem & dish
Unplug the HughesNet modem & dish at the mains, wait thirty seconds, plug it back in, then give it two to three minutes to fully re-register before testing again.
3
Test wired against wireless
If a device connected by cable is fine but Wi-Fi is not, the fault is the wireless side rather than the incoming line — that changes what gets fixed.
4
Note what the lights are doing
The light pattern on the HughesNet modem & dish tells a specialist a lot. Have it in front of you when you call.
