Thanks Sam. Port Forwarding didn't quite sound the ticket. I realise their free router isn't likely to be special, but out of interest, what is one paying for with a better quality Asustek? Signal strength? IP assigning etc? AP On Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at 12:16:54 PM UTC+1, Sam - MacAmbula

Port forwarding definitely won't help in this situation no. I would change your wifi router. Asustek are very good adsl routers, you'll just need to know your plusnet adsl connection username and password to set it up. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Ltd. Providing Affordable Mac/P
