Thanks, I'll give one a try

I said earlier that this happens from time to time.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09N72FMH5 on offer at the moment.

£32 for a USB-powered WiFi router/repeater/access point/3 socket gigabit Ethernet switch, running a variant of OpenWRT. Comes with PSU and a short Ethernet cable.

After a remarkable amount of stupidity on my part I finally got this sorted. Initially I thought I'd created spaghetti also known as a network nightmare...

• modem/router > cable > network switch > cable > patch bay > cable > network switch > cable > WiFi Router

As it happened everything was probably working as intended except this muppet forgot that the WiFi router was not only on a different SSID but I'd also managed to stop it broadcasting.

Anyway after a factory reset and a more measured approach to changing the settings, I'm up and running. Interestingly the WiFi router downstream is faster than my ASUS modem/router 105.22/18.72 vs 77.84/18.96 on a 115/20. That's pretty impressive.

So thanks to everyone who helped out with this, I got there in the end
