    Wifi dongle may be rubbish so try powerline extenders they are better.
    Box downstairs going off as turning off or losing channels?
    What type of lnb are you using single/dual/or quad and are you trying to split cable?

          You can't run 2 boxes from a single satellite feed. Each box needs it's own feed from the LNB.

          If you use the loop connector to feed another box they will interfere with eachother as each box sends 4 control signals to the LNB (hor/vert/hi/lo).
