Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with the function of your modem, review the
following sections for information that may help you discover the source of
the problem and/or how to fix it.
Connecting the modem power cord
The HT2000W power cord connector uses a locking mechanism to ensure it
stays snugly connected to the modem. Make sure the connector is oriented
correctly when plugging it into the DC IN port;
the flat side of the plug
should face the modem’s side panel nearest to the port.
Figure 10 shows the correct position of the power cord connector. When
connecting the power cord, you must push the connector into the DC IN
port. This creates a locking connection between the power cord and the
modem.
Figure 10: Aligning the power cord connector
It is not recommended that you attempt to disconnect the power cord
from the modem, unless instructed to do so by Customer Care.
If you need to turn off or power cycle the modem, simply unplug the cord
from the electrical outlet.

The computer that connects to the satellite modem should meet the
minimum requirements specified by the computer operating system
manufacturer and the following networking and browser requirements:

A web browser with proxy settings disabled

Device must be Wi-Fi compatible, or
