DISH - can not connect to server

[lucky86]

No worries! Thank you. We bought a new modem (Netgear 500) and connected it tonight. Comcast recognized we had a new modem and reconfigured our service, which then showed the server connection ok for a bit (we were even able to rent an on demand movie). But it then failed less than 3 hours later... so we are at exactly the same point.

Via WiFi? Were you able to try hard wiring it and retest? It sounds like the router isn't "seeing" the request for the Hopper to connect for some reason. You could always try enabling DMZ and see if the Hopper remains connected.

Also shows trying to hook to wallys when I reset but all I have is a lone Hopper3

Try putting the Hopper into the DMZ list on the router for a little while and see if it connects and stays connected. I still think its an issue with your router/network.

What did you do to resolve it? Is it staying connected now?
