Satellite internet is an excellent way to get WiFi if you live in a rural or remote area, but a satellite internet connection and a WiFi network are slightly different things. Satellite internet WiFi networks work just like any other WiFi network. Your satellite internet dish will connect directly with your modem/router, which will translate the signal from your dish into a WiFi signal for your home. Additionally, satellite internet makes it possible for you to get WiFi everywhere, providing WiFi speeds up to 500 Mbps, depending on which plans and providers are available in your area.
