If you have a static IP address but don't use torrents, then all bets are off...
(ETA) Have a look at http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=5073.0 regarding the yellow entries.

I am on a fixed IP address and don't use torrents
If you are interested you can check the IP address they are coming from

FWIW, the router is reporting a successful block, so there is nothing to be concerned about.

I'd guess you do not have a Static IP address (WAN side) - you'd have to request this from Plusnet and it's £5 to set up. You might want one if you were running a server on your computer for example. Most regular users don't have a need for one.
These connection/intrusion attempts can be other computers running torrents trying to connect with another user that may have previously be using the IP address that you are now on,. they might be a user with a Game who's attempting connection with a user with the same Game,
Whether these "connection" attempts are innocent or potentially malicious, there's nothing really to worry about as the others have said, your Firewall is doing it's job, and the attempts aren't that frequent. If you were repeatedly getting several per minute over a sustained period, that might be a different matter.
So there's no need for static IP addresses WAN side or LAN side unless the latter happens to suit the way you use your own network.
As far as the login wireless station attempts go, without some further detail, it's difficult to comment. Do you have any wireless devices of your own? Is it your daughter's iPhone? I'm not sure your daughter's email address would have any particular bearing on this, can you explain why you think it might?
Is your wireless security set as WPA2?
If it's not one of your own devices, a wireless printer maybe? then again if it's infrequent it probably can be ignored.
If you have any further detail let us know.

Do the following as soon as possible - log into your 582n and in the Internet box click "Disconnect" this will drop the PPP session. Wait 30 seconds and then click "Connect". As soon as the session is established, check your IP address, it should now be different. Use What's My IP check before and after to see if it changes (but don't post the address). if you ever need to post information containing your current IP address, obliterate the last 2 octets ie. post as 87.112.xxx.xxx
I'll just post this for you so that you may see it soonest, and will respond to the rest in a moment.

You cannot set static public (WAN side) IP addresses from your modem/router. Those settings are purely for your LAN side (your network) internal IP addresses. Best not to publish them either - obliterate the last octet ie 192.168.1.xxx
The fact there is a school close by may give you problems with congested wireless channels as they'll probably have a WiFi network, it may also mean that some mischievous individuals may try connecting to your network, but as long as you aren't using passwords that are names, dictionary words or the like - anything that can be guessed - then you should be ok, and of course not given them to anyone outside your immediate family. Your previous ISP sounds as though they were slightly passing the buck as far as giving help on the use of your WiFi.
It's all sounding to me as though your daughter or both of you may each have a virus on your phone. I would be very careful about what personal information you have on your phones at this time and not do anything that requires high security (eg. banking) until you have them checked out.
You need some expert assistance to deal with this problem (sorry iPhones are not my speciality).
But there is another check you could do which might have a bearing on the apparent changing IP address from your screen grabs, and that is your phone line.You may have an intermittent connection causing the broadband to drop. Use a corded phone - Can you hear/have you heard any crackling or other noises on the line when using the phone? Have you had any problems with incoming or outgoing calls? Dial 17070 use option 2 the Quiet Line Test if need be.
As far as your iPhones go, you will need to clean the phone(s) of any virus and delete that old email address. Do not post email addresses or IP addresses in publicly visible places. Don't give email addresses to people you don't know well or trust unless it's one you can dump if you start getting problems. Never use you main email address for things like Facebook or anywhere else that it may get into the public arena, that can include giving it to certain retail or other companies. Use other email addresses you can dump when needed.
As I've said you are going to need some expert help, if any information you have on your phones, ie contact numbers, addresses etc can be easily be replaced, that will probably make life easier. If the phone is the only place that information is saved, make a separate note of it now.
I'll see if we can dig up an expert or two that can come and advise the best way to deal with the iPhone(s), but you may have to go to a local expert, preferably one that you can trust and/or comes recommended by someone very trustworthy (not some wizz-kid boyfriend!)
