As I last said I'd report outcome of this weekends trials:-
Everything worked fine over the weekend on the Huawei HG633 router, so
laptop wireless OK.
Late this afternoon re-installed the Sagecom Super Router (after router
reset) and after checking with other wireless kit it worked but still my
laptop did not connect! Looked as if it was trying to connect to next
door (Next door is on channel 6!!) but wireless details were incorrect
obviously! Looking around the settings the router was set on Channel
_11_, changed to channel 1 and all fine.
Don't understand why it tried channel 11 as it has never been set before
and the tablet had connected OK.
Will leave it all 'as is' and see if any changes take place in the next
week or so. Still not sure what caused the problem, which I don't like
but will stick with it.
Thanks again for all the suggestions and help. hope this is 'it' for a
few weeks and no changes to anything now until the OS Mint update comes
in April when I hope to upgrade to Mint 20.04 with a live disc.
See you next week on Jitsi.

I haven't been following this, but have you checked for a firmware
update for the router that might fix the issue?

Started a new email on this subject due to delays in replying. We have
been relaying our patio during the week between rain showers, so have
not had a clear time slot to 'play'.
Update today. 1200hrs.
Removed all connections from the TT Super(?) Router and replaced using
the very old previous Huawei HG633 router.
After reconnecting to old HG633 router and checking I had wireless set
up, it showed that Lily's Tablet had connected automatically via
wireless.
Then set up my laptop (wireless) and it connected OK; moved into the
Living room and still connected; proved that the _laptop_ wireless is
OK. Checked speed and appears no loss in speed.
Conclusion is that something on the 'new' router has upset 'my' link.
As we need the wireless connection for tomorrow morning, I'm staying
with the 'old' router till after lunch.
Next stage is to reconnect the 'new' router after setting it back to
default, will then check if wireless is OK again. Hoping that may
clear whatever upset my wireless.
If all goes well then end of problem. If I still can't connect the
laptop but all else is OK will get onto TT, report the problem and ask
for a replacement router (can but hope!). As Peter reported a while
back he had a similar problem with one item being rejected connection,
I believe that was also with a TT router.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help, will email when done
reconnecting tomorrow.
My problem was with the TT Sagemcom 'super'-router, and the one wired
computer not connecting. This was after I think TT had upgraded the
firmware and reset it to factory defaults.
