If you back up your router configuration (which you should be doing!) on any big change, resetting the router is no problem, you just restore the configuration. Further, if a device goes bad and must be hard reset - such as my Onkyo receiver a while back, many a people's Xbox back in the day, etc. then you have to remember or try to find it's static IP to set it back up so all clients can still connect. With DHCP reservations you just reset it and boot back up and it will pick up it's assigned address.
I find devices go out FAR more than my router...

Getting off the subject, but satellite wireless is a pain in the patootie. No matter how fast it is, you've still got the latency up and down that makes remote desktop a patience building exercise...
