CarolC, Many routers are set so you can plug in a couple of different types of plugs, usually DSL or phone. Look to see what kind of plug your satellite system provides and check the router for the comparable plug. Setting up a wireless network from the router is a separate operation, but you can do that regardless of the type of internet access that comes into the house. We've discussed this before at Mudcat, but I can't think of what the thread was called. Someone will turn up with it.
