Correct. To be honest I Would rather not use a second Router.The main
reason it does add a eyesore to my main HI-FI set up (UPSTAIRS). OK its
only a router-but add in the mains Socket wire and another Ethernet
Cable/s to the rest of already an array of wires/mains sockets and it
does look a tad bit messy...Its a last resort to solve my wireless
problem (Ironically creating MORE wires)..However Iam not ruling it
out..yet.

Your Correct in saying Iam making it all abit complex. But In my world
its not enough to say Turn off Your DHCP. I need to How, where it is and
why I need to...I need things in very Simplistic terms (Even Though Ive
Googled DHCP now)

I will get my SBT back running, Download Fing and try again !
