I dont have a landline and I have had Directv for two months no issues i have the Deca in the living room I did the reset on the hd receiver and unplugged the deca and I still have the problem. I didnt reset the WHDVR because i was not sure if i would lose my recordings.

The willy nilly approach to resetting seldom produces the desired results. If you want it to be effective, you need to do it all, and in the correct order. Don't worry about losing anything, it's just a reset.
First thing to try is resetting the DECA network....it must be done in this order. Before you begin, assure that DHCP is enabled on your router if your system is connected to the Internet. This is essential.
1. Disconnect AC power from each DVR and Receiver
2. Disconnect power from the DECA BB Adapter (black DECA BB box)
3. Disconnect power from the SWM dish Power Inserter (do you know where yours is located)?
4. Disconnect then reconnect AC power on your home network gateway/router and modem.
5. Wait a few minutes for the router to reset
6. Re-power the SWM Power Inserter
7. Re-power the DECA Broadband Adapter
8. Re-power each DVR and Receiver
Following that, press and hold the info button on one DVR, then select more system info. Scroll down and check that Internet is listed as connected.

For future reference, you can always try a red button reset on all the boxes as a quicker fix.
