What caused the power interruption? Power cuts in thunder storms are good at frying electronic equipment, with all that lightning flying around.
Have you tried swapping the host/guest plugs around?

I shut off the power supply to the room where the receiver was located while an electrican worked on the wiring. When we restored the power the problem started.
At first I suspected that something the electrician had done had upset the supply to the socket where the receiver was located so I brough the receiver to the same room as the transmitter and plugged them in side by side, but this has made no difference.

I am not conviced that the electrician did not do something that broke your network. That does seem to be the trigger.
But it is hard to suggest how you could check that out.
