I consider this topic completed.

Could be down to modem router interaction. You have to reboot these in the right way to get on line.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
Out of interest, what modem is in front of this router?
Knowing that might throw more light on the issue for future reference.
