The router and satellite were about 25 feet apart for 19 months, with the signal having to go through 2 walls and a floor. Now it's about 15 feet apart, separated only by 1 floor. If things stay settled for the next few days I'll try to put the satellite back in the old position and see what happens.

Can try 30 feet or more if you can as well.
