The trouble is that the customers will have different PCs and therefor different connections. I'd recommend USB units (eg. WUSB11) for general use, and keep a couple of Ethernet units (eg. WET11) for those with Ethernet but no USB, and some cards (ORiNOCO) for those with laptops. Changing is no big deal, the customer will need to run the install program for the first unit.

Satellite sucks due to lag, but if that's all you have, just warn the customers. Online gamers would notice the most. In fact it's almost impossible to game on a satellite connection.

Sure it's possible to have them roam to another location. That's more network planning than anything. If they do that, you might want to setup some type of captive portal with a walled garden to supply setup/signup info.

Your biggest problem may be the billing if they're roaming around.
