OK, the details:
Epson PX720WD.
Plusnet Hub 1
Printer worked PERFECTLY on BT HUb 3
Current situation:
Printer prints BUT..
A] I have to go to the printer and re-enter the SSID and password each set of prints (meaning: once done it will print all after that until laptop is switched off again and printer goes into sleepy-byes)
B] Printing is almost ceased when downloading - e.g, if I'm downloading a *cough* movie and try to print it won t print until I pause/stop the download.
I've tried changing the channel from auto to 1 or 11, It was on Auto - 6 before = no luck.
The odd thing - even when the printer isn't responding to print commands I can still connect via the browser to http://192.168.1.71/ (printer IP) BUT - ALL of the problems started with the PNet hub, on the BT hub 3 it was perfect.
Any ideas?

Additional:
I have tried WPS - it sets up and saves me having to re-enter the SSID and password every time... but it doesn't stay (the SSID and password are still in the printer but the Hub1 doesn;t see it.
