Sorry about your sister - I like cheese too but my beeber is currently in for repairs. LOL!
I have a cable modem connected to a desk top on the second floor of my house and I have that hooked into a wireless router so I can connect my wireless laptop downstairs as I use this most often.
I often get connectivity issues mostly in the early evening when other wireless users in my neighborhood are also connecting (I can see them when I try to view wireless networks and I'd love to know who "bhome" is because I'm about to go kick his a$$ for crowding my band width. I bet he's a liberal and subscriber to DU. I think it's my creepy next door neighbor).
Anyway, I either get disconnected entirely or get the dreaded "limited connectivity" message. I have to disconnect and reboot my router, select another port and even then it doesn’t always solve the problem.
I don’t know much about satellite internet but I would ask your provider about network traffic issues in your area.
