Hughesnet provides satellite internet.
Find out whether Hughesnet knows about an outage at your address
- Sign in to the Hughesnet app on mobile data. Known outages for your address are shown on the first screen.
- Look at the report chart on this page. A sudden jump in the last hour means other Hughesnet customers are affected too.
- Ask a neighbour on Hughesnet, or check a second device, to see whether the problem is only yours.
Check your Hughesnet modem
- Open the Hughesnet app and look at the outage or obstruction screen. It tells you whether drops come from the network or from something blocking the dish.
- Heavy rain, wet snow or ice on the dish weakens the signal. Service usually returns when the weather passes.
- Unplug the dish and router from power for 60 seconds, plug them back in and allow up to 15 minutes to reconnect to the satellites.
- Make sure nothing new is in the way, such as tree growth or a moved dish.
Work out whether it is the internet or just your Wi-Fi
- Connect a laptop to the router with a network cable. If the cable works and Wi-Fi does not, the provider is fine and the router or its position is the problem.
- Test more than one device. One failing device points to that device.
- Turn off any VPN and try again.

Hughesnet outage questions
Is Hughesnet down right now?
The status at the top of this page is updated every few minutes from automated checks of Hughesnet's systems and from visitor reports. Our checks reach Hughesnet's website and sign-in servers, so a local line or mast fault in one neighbourhood shows up first in the report chart rather than in the checks.
How do I check for a Hughesnet outage in my area?
Use the Hughesnet app, which shows faults for your own address or postcode. Then compare with the reports on this page to see whether other customers are affected.
Why is my Hughesnet internet slow but not down?
Slow speeds with a working connection usually come from Wi-Fi, not the line. Test with a cable first. If the wired speed is also far below your plan, there may be a fault on the line that has not become a full outage yet, so report it.
Can I get a refund for a Hughesnet outage?
There is no federal rule that forces US providers to credit outages, but most will if you ask. Contact Hughesnet after service returns, give the start and end time, and ask for a prorated credit for the days you were without service.
How long do Hughesnet outages usually last?
Weather drops last minutes. Network-wide faults are usually cleared within a few hours.
