Got it.
Is you phone by any chance an Apple Device?
Reason for asking is there are known Wi-Fi bugs currently in iOS 16 according to the forums.
Please check this out if so: (1) iOS 16.4.1 (a) WiFi issues : ios (reddit.com)
If you do not have an Apple Device, then I have a few questions:
Did you experience loss of internet for at least 30 seconds max 1 minute when the issue occur or was it just that the Wi-Fi icon disappear then came back?
Did you lose connection again within 10minutes of issue occurring?
Which is closer to your bedroom, router or satellite?
Has it happen again every since you experience this issue?

Hi, since you have iPhone there is a probability you are running into the issue above that I stated with current iOS. On the other hand if you suspect your issue is different, please answer the following questions:
Did you experience loss of internet for at least 30 seconds max 1 minute when the issue occur or was it just that the Wi-Fi icon disappear then came back?Did you lose connection again within 10minutes of issue occurring?
Which is closer to your bedroom, router or satellite?
