Have you checked with your router switched off, in case it is hiding
another network on the same channel? Also there are other devises
that can use the same frequencies but do not show up (wireless CCTV
cameras for example) so it would not do any harm to shift to another
frequency as
Colin,
It only takes a few seconds to change the channel at the router.
There is no need to change anything at the PCs, they should
automatically re-connect at the new frequency.

No, mount doesn't create a mount point, you have to do that. /media is
