Dont confuse a ROUTER and a MODEM as they are 2 different devices.
If the two are separate units, the Router should 'go anywhere' because you can buy one from any retailer, bring it home and IF its compatible with your MODEM, connect it up.
I am using the NBN Skymuster satellite for the internet and because of a 'None compatibility' problem with a 'Wireless' Modem previously , I chose to use a Router supplied by my ISP that I knew would work with the NBN Modem.
The Tech Gurus should be able to advise you but moving a 'Router' only from A to B should be no different to replacing one that has failed.
I didnt know but Routers can be made to suit specific Modems which is what happened to me. I had a NettComm router working happily on a Dial Up Modem, but when I changed to the 'Wireless' modem, it would not work and that's when I found a whacking great list of what Routers worked with what Modems.
Now I am using a Netgear Router that seems to be able to connect with all types of Modems irrespective of how the Modem connects to the Internet.
So when I was changing over to the NBN Skymuster system, I took the option from my ISP to use the Router they recommended.
Foxtel/Optus cable STB's obviously wont work in non cabled areas but those on Satellite can be relocated (with certain limitations) to anywhere so long as there is a suitable operating Dish available.
