Answer 2

I take it your router is a DSL router? Meaning the phone line connects directly to the input port. If that is the case you wont be able to accomplish what you are attempting without some work.

The easiest thing to do is get a standard cable/dsl router which has a cat 5 connector for the WAN/Internet port. Then connect your sat system to that plug..your now wireless.

do not do it. The loss would be intense, the impedance would be mismatched extraordinarily and the telephone strains will radiate the television alerts into each and everything in the community. at some point you will have the FCC knocking on the door to get rid of the radio interference to the police and ambulance radios and so on. on your community. not a good element and you're able to even get carry of a stout effective. Run new coax cables.
