Hi,
Thank you for the response. I was at work when i wrote the post.
The router is a R6300 and the modem is the VirginMedia Super Hub which is also a Netgear product.
I tried the reset button and power cycling the modem but without any luck.
Thank you and all the best,
Peter

Hi @PeterH1976,

2. If yes, is it also broadcasting it's own wireless signal?
3. Are the laptops connected to the Wi-Fi of the R6300 or the VirginMedia Super Hub?

Dexter
