Yes and one has to wonder if he had powerline adaptors to feed things rather
than straight wifi, Luckily these horrible devices are kiiled relatively
easily, as they are the scourge of the ham radio world.

We had a spike yesterday when a submersible pump tripped the main

Every thing came back up OK when reset ( including the LL phone)
except the internet connection.
I have tried the following:-

1. Swapped out the ADSL router with a spare.

Can you actually 'web into' the router management interface and see
what it is saying?

The first thing is to get a PC talking to the router with as little in
between as possible - a straight ethernet cable is best.

Then see what the router is saying.

I've had spikes blow routers partially and router PSUs, both.

Yes, I can get into the router interface using a standard patch cord and
putting 192.168.0.1 into the browser . All appears to be in order.

When you say that all appears to be in order, have you tested from the
router?

Most management web pages have some simple diagnostics such as Ping
tests.

At the very least, is it showing 'SHOWTIME' on DSL stats page

But of course he hasn't bothered to tell us what router it actually is
