Hi all, just looking for some help on this. Whenever I turn my laptop on and connect it to my wifi network the whole wifi then goes down and I can no longer connect to it on any device. It requires a reboot of the router to bring it back. Any idea what's causing this?

Check that your laptop wifi card is configured to use DHCP (ie. obtain an IP address automatically) and that you have not coded a static IP address in there. If you have, and if there is another device on the network with that IP address, you will have problems. Also make sure that the DNS address is set to be obtained automatically too (so don't code any addresses in those fields).
