If the satellite will not create a 'wired' connection when in the same room, using a short Ethernet cable, then the satellite is defective. What process was used to determine that the existing in-home wiring is "working fine"?

    I was wondering about that "its working fine" statement to. 

    Some devices aren't as tolerant of sketchy cable as others. So trying the short 6ft cable as a test would be highly recommended.
