Sister has had BT Homehub for a while and seems to work fine.

She recently purchased a Wireless doorbell (Byron SX-14

interfering with the Homehub's connection (the lights go from
normal/blue to brown/flashing/disconnected/reconnecting), so the Homehub
looses the connection to the net. (This is completely separate from any
issues that her laptop might have with the wireless connection to the
router).

Apart from changing the Homehub (which is slightly draconian, but could
happen in the future, but not immediately), does anyone have any
suggestions on how to ensure the Homehub doesn't loose the connection.

Disconnecting the orange wire on pin 3 of the telephone sockets ( which
is only used on old phones for a ring signal) can reduce interference
being fed into the phone wiring.
see:

for good instructions and explanations.

Given the interference appears to be rf and affecting the adsl signal on
the phone line this would seem a sensible approach.
