It depends on your setup.
How far from the router is the satellite? (they need to be at least 30 ft apart)
Also, even if they're closet to the satellite, many times they'll still connect to the router if they have a decent signal. Reason why is going through the satellite can cause slower speeds and increased latency. So if their signal is still "good enough" many times they can still connect to the router.
