Okay, this one has me stumped, so perhaps someone else can help me.

I live in a reasonably sized house, with a granny flat on the side, in which my parents live.

Historically we had a Superhub 1 (then a 2) covering the main house, with a powerline adapter providing a connection to a separate router located next to an adjoining wall so that my parents had internet too.

This worked fine, but was a little cumbersome, so once we got a SH2 and realized the wireless was much better, we switched to using that to cover both houses.

When it works, it works great, however we've started getting some odd behaviour from both of my parents Windows laptops.

Every few days, they'll get booted from the wireless and told their password is wrong, even though it isn't. Nothing they can do at their end fixes it, leaving the only solution as power-cycling the hub at which point both laptops magically decide they *do* have the correct password.

I've tried everything and am getting no where, any suggestions?
