Nah, a single 240v live along with a neutral/earth is supplied to residential premises here in the UK and my reference to circuit means an internal distribution supply from the fuse box/consumer unit through one fuse/circuit breaker (circuit breaker - the clue is in the name!) . No idea what system Australia use. (Terry stated Telstra Australia as his ISP, so I've assumed Aus). But let's move on from this, was just trying to give Terry, a non-techie, some relatively simple clear paths forward in resolving his particular SB Radio wifi issues, which I think has been achieved with the two options suggested, it's now up to him to choose, try and report back for further help if he needs it.
