    Do you think it's the web browser? I could try another one. Ok I have tried Mozilla and Safari and I still have the issue. My broadband supplier was able to confirm I was connected so I am at a total loss, as he could not help me he suggested someone here might be able to help

    What wifi security options have you selected on your router?

    Hi Degsie My iPad, and phones work all work perfectly well. The security is set by the internet provider. Paul
