I traced this to the channel that I was using. The router defaults to channel 6. I changed to channel 11 and the problem went away. I think that one of my neighbours must have bought a wireless device such as a base station telephone which was swamping the signal for channel 6. It is worth a try as it is simple to change and will not cost you a penny. Barry -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
