Thanks both,
I'll preface my response by saying it all worked beautifully for more than a year and the internet connectivity is always fine; it's purely the use of my mobile phone.

By the way - the problem started when my son returned from university for Easter. It's all his fault.

Yeah - the current gen is "all about me," including consuming all the bandwidth in the house.:smileyhappy:
You should see how much toilet paper my daughter uses - we have to buy ours from Costco!

Yes - I have that problem too here! He can try all he likes with the internet...I'm lucky to have fibre to the premises so even he can't ruin that, but he does like to tinker with the network.
