Are you sure the modem is bridged? Mighy check it's configuration.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Try this alternative, configure the modem back to router mode. Disable ALL wifi radios on the modem.

I am not sure if it is anything to do with turning off daisy chain (don't think so) but now the internet is not working at all on the router (although it is on the ISP hub if I connect via LAN). This means wifi not working at all in the house at the moment
We have a meltdown situation which is causing me severe stress at the moment!

It turns out that the router was NOT set to bridge mode. Thanks for recommendaing i check again. I am sure it had been in the past, so perhaps it reset on an update. Once i sorted that, I reset the system and it is now working well
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
