Log on to the PN router and double check you have WPA2 enabled and not WEP
Look at the SSID on the PN router and make a note of it, it has to be exact including capitals etc
Double check you know the right password for the wireless on the PN router
The settings in the instructions for the Heatmiser won't work as standard with the PN router as it is on a different IP address so I'd try the following :
SSID = PN SSID
SECURITY = WPA2
WEP FORMAT = ASCII or HEX depending on the password on the PN router
IP ADDRESS = 192.168.1.100
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.1.254
Fingers crossed that may help

I'm not familiar with the Heatmiser system, just going by what the instructions are suggesting

The multi-link is a different module to the thermostats this could explain why the thermostat will connect but not the multi-link, the wireless Band needs to be 56Mbps and the wireless Interface Type needs to be B + G not B G + N.
Can anybody advise how to change the band and interface type on my router?
Thank you

Personally I'd purchase a separate wireless access point, plug it into the Plusnet Router on a LAN port then configure the access point with a different SSID / Password and connect the heating devices up to that.

Aplogies as I am not that technology minded - are you saying to buy another router to plug into the Plusnet router and then connect by wifi to the new router. If so what router would you suggest to buy?

It basically just adds another wireless network to your connection which doesn't interfere or isn't reliant on the existing wireless on your Plusnet router.
In its simplest form, you can pick up a cable router, disable its onboard DHCP and give it a static IP address (2 minute job) connect one of its LAN ports to one of the LAN ports on the Plusnet router then try connecting your heating stuff to the wireless on the new router. If this works then set a password for the wireless and job done.
Your other option if you go this route would maybe to grab a cheapish (<£30) TP-Link router or similar, set it up to work on your Plusnet connection instead of your Plusnet router and see if it is any more compatible with your heating system.

This shows how to disable wireless n on the Technicolor router, it will then be wireless b + g as you ask.

If using telnet is a step too far for you, let me know and I'll post a telnet scrip to make the task easier.
