Thanks for the reply and apologies for the late update. The WAX204 is setup as an AP. However, did not think of looking at my Vriginmedia router until you mentioned it because connectivity, wired/wireless on my Virginmedia router was working fine when the AP was experiencing issues.

Thanks for your help.
