That makes perfect sense - the config page came pre-filled with plusnet details......and thanks for the other info, I'll have to dust off my (limited) telnet knowledge and get cracking..oh, and p.s. got a link for that F13 C0 fw please?

Thanks for that ......but telnet won't connect, tries to and then just shuts itself down - has the plusnet fw disabled telnet in the router maybe??..answers on a post(card) please???...
Is telnet enabled in the Maintenance>Remote MGMT menu?
@GunJack any chance you can post your current settings for your 5ghz?I've just powered mine up, it has auto 100, 20/40/80mhz and I can connect at 866Mbps 5ghz from my phone, I do not have access to anything tri-band 5ghz at present
hope it's clear enough....
Yes, you are on a DFS channel, aka channel 52.There's a detailed article here: http://wifinigel.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-5ghz-problem-for-wi-fi-networks-dfs.htmlIf that's tl;dr (too long didn't read) in the UK/EU, channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 are not subject to DFS.Can you try channel 36 and let us know if that's any better, you may be experiencing False DFS Detection.
I do, and that's exactly what it's showing my issue is, why won't it operate on multi-channel unless it's in some way borked. The TT hub works multi-channel alongside the Q box, another reason I'm thinking it's the zyx.....the really annoying thing is that the 2.4GHz band will operate on multi-channel!!! as I did it by accident while trying to set up the 5GHz..
It sounds like the TT hub is working under protest if it resets itself to a higher channel every night. I think the Zyxel is just being less accommodating and is flatly refusing to work on the lower channels in the congested environment. Do you not have a single device that can work in the channel 100 range as that would prove or disprove the point?
