In fact, that's a very good point...! It wasn't even sleeping now I come to think of it which make it all the more bizarre. I turned off sleep a week or so back as running Folding@Home. All it does now is turn the monitor off, and log me out. Checked the IP lease time is working OK - I have a...

Happened again today when waking from sleep. It does seem very strange. Hard to put any logic to it. Thanks for the link @SpyderTracks - if that relates to the issue I have then there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this and will see. The fact it still did it with the second router suggests it may not be the router that's at fault - though admittedly that second router isn't Linksys and I haven't altered the settings on it at all from standard ISP ones.

I can't be 100% sure, but just tried connecting to a second router in the house and it did the same thing on that too.

Thank you for your reply UBUYSA. Apologies for not spotting it before. I still seem to be having troubles - but it's hard to isolate it to know whether it's a router issue or a W10 issue. I've just taken a look at the router settings as you suggest and have changed it to 525600mins i.e. 365...

Latest update: Never really had a problem in the last week or so. That's good enough for me. Thank you very much all.

W7 PC, W10 Laptop, iPhones, Samsung TVs, usual kind stuff. Nothing else seems to have much issue. The W10 laptop sometimes starts with that globe for 10s after waking from sleep, but it soon changes to a proper wifi symbol. Not as far as I'm aware. No static IP addresses set at all.

Sorry to break the news.....

Fingers crossed....!

Monday update - woke from sleep again this morning without issue.

Haha! Welcome to borrow it if you're in the area :p

Update for today - so far so good. Woke from sleep this morning without a problem. Keeping my fingers crossed......

It is indeed, and it could be even better still......it's supposed to be 300mbps symmetrical FTTP. ISP tells me that you can't measure such speeds properly using a conventional speed test.

Three options - all have a bit of variability between them it seems.

Noted, thank you! Have just done as you suggest. When I swapped it the Ethernet connection changed. Pulled the plug on the ethernet and the wireless showed as public still (No internet, secured was showing). Ran troubleshooter, it connected properly again, and it automatically showed the...

Ideal, thank you. I've solved the TAP issue. I saw it in "Networks" the other day and Googled for it as I couldn't understand what it was so your explanation is helpful. Your VPN comment made me go look at Dashlane - when I installed the new version the other day it mentioned something about...

No VPN - wouldn't know how to set one up tbh. Will uninstall Bullguard now. Do I need to replace it with anything?

Sorry, missed these posts as I was sorting the screenshots out again after not copying that one command right Still have Bullguard installed. Happy to uninstall though.
