Chris, go to the TalkTalk help pages, look for 'problems with wireless' the instructions should be there. They're easy to follow honestly

Thanks karma.........I've been on that & changed the channel to auto.....see my post above ^

Sorry Chris, I shouldn't skim read and multi task reading the forum and sending work e-mails

Is that working better now? it sorted my problem out!

My connection is working upstairs, but I can't open IE on the pc downstairs, which is my housemates. She is probably online at work or on her phone, but that shouldn't affect the connection here should it?

So if the PC downstairs does not have problems then it will be the wireless, I would however pick a channel rather than set it to auto, I normally use 7 or 11

I would restart the router and the PC downstrairs to see if that fixes it first before trying anything else.

If the downstairs PC is wired, these changes should not effect it's connection. Restart the router and the PC
