Just picking up on this again, as issue not sorted.

I did download Inssider and tried changing the modem channel, but this did not help.

We had already bought a Netgear router, prior to getting a Superhub, but had initial problems with password. Depending on exactly what model it is (will have to check), maybe people think it's a better bet than the Superhub.

As my Dad now has a laptop (but which will act as a Desktop at times) I want to try and get things sorted. I will wish to set things up so as the new laptop can have wired access. Presumably if I just connect the wires as per the old desktop I would just need to go to a modem set-up page and put the password back in?

I saw on Currys website they were offering various wi-fi extender/booster products for sale e.g. Netgear WN1000RP, TP-Link TLWA730. How good are these products, as I guess the advantage is there is less fiddle involved compared to installing a new router?

I'd appreciate any further thoughts.
