Tested by Tim, wifi signal adequate throughout kitchen/dining area.
Internet radio works OK although there have been a few outages which
seemed to coincide with Openreach installing some additional cabling

Ancient i phone will not connect saying the Wi-Fi password key is
incorrect. Router 12 months or so from installation, not running hot
or any other symptoms. Hardwired connection to desktop OK.
Any ideas?


Has it ever connected in the past.

iThingys can be very fussy about what Wifi shipsets they will talk to.

Once every six months my network decides it won't talk to iPhones etc.

Power cycling everything fixes it.


Hmm. That sounds possible. I'm sure it has connected in the past.

I'll get her to try a fresh switch on within range. If that fails try a
power cycle.

It is loaded up with photos/videos etc. Surprising it can work at all!

Tomorrow!
