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.
