You haven't switched on MAC filtering by accident have you?

Can you get in to the LAN logs on the router (via Ethernet) to see what is happening?

No.

Assuming youve made no real changes to the router....try a factory reset, could be quicker and easier than pissing in the wind without a proper look at both the router and pc config.

Tried it again - all now working :y

Thanks Jimbob :y

Be nice to have got to the bottom of it. But not very realistic. Service restored will do :-)

Not always possible as even if not a software bug 'normally robust software and hardware' can suffer from a multitude of problems due to very unlikely external events from cosmic rays, natural radioactive decay, soft memory errors, to emf and emp. Hard reset and start again is never a bad option to try. :y

Home Hub 5 type A

Just comes up with 'Unable to connect to the network'.

I've re-entered the password.
Windows 10 on an older laptop I presume?

If so, it will reoccur...

Is it Win 10 on an older laptop then? If so, I'll make the effort to walk you through a possible fix :)
