nope your problem is a software issue, not related at all to the tower. either the software shud be saying connected or not(or connecting) it shouldnt be saying connecting when are already connected which makes me think its software related

Have you got a lot of other devices connected to your network?

Nicco would know more than me about this but I had similar issues and we had 3 mobiles, 2 x iPads, 3 x computers and a lappy all connected and it caused issues until I removed some that we never use and the issue was resolved.

Not really, have a tablet and another pc, but nothing else was connected at the time but now that I think of it when Erin is on the tablet and on the net, I get the same problem so must be the wi-fi getting allocated the bandwidth when they are connected.

Anyway of changing who gets what bandwidth???
