    We're with Virgin broadband in Dublin city.
    There 2 tablets and 3 phones in house...
    Ever since I bought a samsung TabS2 a while back I have to disconnect my work phone from network to be able to connect via tablet...the reverse also applies..
    This seems crazy?

    You may need to check the DHCP settings on the router to ensure that the range of allocated addresses is big enough. Also check the devices are actually using DHCP rather than working with the same fixed IP address..
