Thanks Toby, Swapping locations? I haven't tried this yet. It's like my reply to Gary above about powering everything down. Everything else has been working so well, that I don't really want to muck about with it. Also, as time goes by I'm just becoming increasingly convinced that the house isn't network friendly as things stand. For example, although it's on a different floor, the location where I want this 'problem' Touch to be is literally only 4 or 5 metres from the router. However, it only gets 40% signal. In between is a desk, a 'chipboard' floor with this foil insulation, and a concrete block wall. The same room also gave me problems with a Boom maybe a year or two ago. Another Touch, also downstairs, but three or four times further away from the router gets 55% or so - but while it's longer, it's signal path is maybe a little less obstructed.... So, after months or more of considering a wireless AP downstairs, I'm going to give that a go and see what happens. Static vs DHCP? I went 'static' for static devices, to address connectivity issues - which might be more to do with the house construction and layout than anything else. If a new AP seems to help that, I might go back to a straightforward DCHP set up, because like you guys, I suspect there's a glitch in the static IPs somewhere. Just waiting for Amazon to deliver the Cat6 and the wallplates and I'll tackle the AP installation.
