Appreciate the assistance. I tested using my cellular phone as a mobile hot spot with USB tethering. It worked well so I bought a hot spot and will be attempting to use that now. Thank you for responding.

I live in a rural mountain area with many trees. Satellite is my only internet option. I have upgraded to the best dish offered by the provider, use an Orbi router, have a WeBoost for my cellular phone instead of using the wifi. I work from home and reliable internet is essential. I still have intermittent issues. Tech support tells me it is the trees (Fresnel Zone) and go to summer vacation plan (i.e. have no internet) but it is not a constant problem. I am testing every 30 minutes through the day and it seems to happen maybe 3 times per day (we have been having severe thunderstorms daily lately as well) and lasts for about half an hour that my connection is almost useless. I am running a ping to check for request time out/destination unreachable also. I must connect to the company VPN which requires a good consistent connection. Any suggestions regarding what I can add/change/. . . . to push me over the hump and get my connection to be solid throughout the work day - other than clear cutting trees? Thank you.
