I'm not blessed/blighted with the SH right now, so is there a setting (like Autodetect) on either the AE or the SH that migh be wrongly specified? That really shouldn't happen.

Tapping off a neighbour would produce instability. Normally you'd get a pull straight to the cabinet. Is the cabinet close by?
I haven't tried running a direct connection from the SH in modem mode to my Mac.
It isn't the easiest thing in the world to do as I'd need to move the Mac tower downstairs.
Worth doing, do you think?

My other computer is a Macbook Air which has't got an ethernet connection- wifi only.

The cabinet is at the top of the street.
Apparently they have to run a new cable form the junction box to my house which is why it will take a month to do.
