Thanks you FURRYe38 for replying to me.
The router and the satellite are about 20 feet away from each other. I have no coaxial in living room. So main router in bedroom hardwired to modem. Next room over, I have the satellite behind my tv, hardwired to my PC.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you. I will relocate the router to anoher room and place the satellite a little further away. I will report back tonight after work.
