I was about to point the finger of suspicion at the wifi router. Any
odd behaviour, reboot that, is my general maxim.

I mean, I forget myself sometimes, but it's _always_ worth a try.

I am not a fan of HomeHubs. I replaced them at a couple of client
sites, some years back, with more standard/customisable devices (e.g.
DrayTek).

Normally I also issue what is become a tiresome catchphrase of mine --
"update the firmware!" -- but HomeHubs do that sort of thing
automagically. (In theory.)
