Hi Mark..

Good suggestion with WPS. I failed to try it.

The router/modem has a "wifi" button at the back which is supposed to work with
WPS.  But since I was not able to login to the router, I could not see if the
feature was activated.

But I did two other things which has solved the problem: [1] I configured the
Win7 pc to use a specific local IP address, [2] I noticed TWO entries for the
home router SSID in the wifi list/tables, and removed what appeared to be an
older one that represented a previous router from the same provider.

It still surprises me how easily another device joining the network could bring
the whole DSL service down!
