so, I'll set out what steps I take to try and fix this..

Just powered everything down, and started again,  router first, giving
it lots of time to reboot before turning on the PC & vortexbox.

This time, in case there's any conflict between different versions of
LMS (now running 7.8 on both PC and vortexbox) I have stopped the PC
version, and set it not to start on system start. As I get more and more
music onto the vortexbox, I'm pointing all the players at that, and I
can see the PC version being mainly switched off, and as a back up only.
Do separate installations of LMS conflict with each other?

Next I turned on one of the players - Bedroom SB3 - which is normally
wifi connected. It wouldn't connect first time; did a factory reset; and
it still won't connect. Interestingly (if I believe it) the router's web
interface/control panel shows the player. It's correct mac address is
showing, but it doesn't have an associated IP address.

I had tried (last time I had issues) to use reserved IP addresses. This
was working fine until today. It's a high-end, Netgear D6200 router,
only about 5/6 weeks old. 

Also interesting is that all the other wifi devices in the house seem to
be working and connecting fine......

If there's nothing more obvious, then could it be a problem with the
router and the 'reserved' IP addresses under DCHP??

Going to try the Touch now.

As always, extremely grateful for any thoughts or suggestions.
