STOP PRESS !

I would like to apologise for any confusion, misunderstanding and erroneous remarks made on my part concerning my Wifi PC
and associated connections. I am sorry, but it has all been quite a shock after 14 years on XP to be confronted with
a brand new OS system - Win 10 and WiFi, a feature entirely new to me other than I knew it was a wireless system.

I am now clear about the relationship between WiFi and Ethernet.

My previous interpretation was wrong - you cannot have both Ethernet and WiFi connected at the same time - I now agree that it is impossible. I was wrong.

My present state is that my PC is Ethernet connected from my router/Superhub and my printer wireless connected via the
PC and router to the same network.

WiFi is exclusive to the PC itself and if I go this way, I will disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect my PC
to my wireless network. The printer will stay wireless connected to the PC and router.

Thank you all for your comments and I hope this clears the matter up and you will all forgive me for being rather a pain at times.
