I would still try connecting via ethernet to see if there is indeed a problem with the wifi on the router or the entire router.
My broadband connection keeps dropping out. Spent the best part of an afternoon talking to BT, who assure me that they've run tests and that the fault lies inside the home. They helpfully suggested that I should connect to the router via an Ethernet cable !! The router is 8 feet away from my laptop in line of sight, on a shelf with no other electronics nearby. When the connection is playing up all the lights on the router stay on full, no flickering. The wi fi signal to my phone is affected in the same way as the laptop. I've played about with the router connections - they all seem sound. Does anyone have any bright ideas? Duff router?

Cheers for that, I'll try it, although I'm not clear on what it achieves. Next stupid question. I don't have an ethernet port on my laptop - just HDMI and USB. I'll need to buy a cable so ethernet on router to which one on the laptop? Thanks again.
Really no ethernet? no other device to plug in?
Back to BT then for another router
