Wireless isolation is definitely 'off'. I did come across this issue
previously. My 'guest' network is also switched off - no need to have it
available.

However I hadn't considered the different MAC addresses for wi-fi or
ethernet connections. Given that the Touch which was failing to connect
via wi-fi went straight through on ethernet, I'm wondering if the fault
here isn't in the allocation of IP addresses for wireless clients/hosts?
That's why I'm considering a factory reset of the router - to try and
wipe away any conflicting settings.
