Computers won't find BT home hub.
All the other devices are connected but none of the computers can find the home hub on wifi. They can detect all the neighbours but not ours. BT say it's not a problem with the hub despite the fact the latest drivers have been installed by plugging into the hub. Any suggestions other than a new ISP?
