Possible move to satellite internet...

English Network/Internet

Hi,

If I do this, there will be two computers I’d like to hook up to the one satellite modem (mine and my moms).

What would be best to use, a router or a splitter or…? Will it be very difficult to setup in opensuse 11.3? Any thoughts on the ease of this whole idea? (The area I live in has no cable, no DSL and even cellphone service is so limited I have to walk around in 4 acres to find a spot to get a signal, hence my wanting to move to satellite internet).

HI,
I did use satellite internet (hugues). It does not make any difference. The router receiving the sat signal remains a router…
You may have a 2-way sat internet or upload by land line and download by sat internet only. However, the latence is high and makes lag to VOIP. They usually have limited quota also.
