Using Netgear N600 with Viasat Internet

I am using Viasat as my internet provider.  My modem provided by them is dead.  So therefore I can't log into the IP to disable the modem.   I purchased a Netgear n900 this evening and obviously can't connect it with the Viasat modem since that modem is dead, right?   (( While I am computer savvy, I am not a techy when it comes to connection ))  I disconnected the Viasat equipment, connected the netgear and still can't connect.  HELP!

       Is that accurate?  (Not "a Netgear n900"?)  Note that neither "N600"
    nor "n900" is a model number.  Look at the product label.

       Are you offering any clues as to what this "My modem provided by
    them" is (other than "dead")?  Has it a maker and model number?

       What, exactly, was connected to what, exactly?

     

    > [...] connected the netgear [...]

     

       What, exactly, did you connect to what, exactly?

    I would ask your ISP to see what modems are supported on there system. Some SAT ISP have and use specific modems for there system and services.
