    Hi Guys
    Bit of a strange one here I need help with, Buddy of mine is with a fixed wireless provider and he has a old Eir F1000 setup as as a bridge/access point to extend his WIFI as he has a large home, It all worked ok until he got a new phone, it will connect to the router but has no internet coverage, using an old phone smart tv laptop ect its perfect but on a newer phone (under 1 year old) it will connect but has no Internet???

    He tried a couple of new phones and none of them work, yet the phones will work on other peoples networks,

    Anyone have any ideas on what might be up,
