Here's a suggestion. Switch everything off completely. Switch on router and when that is fully booted switch on each device in turn and attempt to connect, starting with your Iphones.

Thanks a MILLION, that worked perfectly. All devices connected and all displaying 192 IP numbers on router page.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the advice and solution.

Sounds like it was simple IP conflict, ie, the same IP address being assigned to multiple devices, hence the need to shut everything down and allow new addresses to be assigned in turn.

Great to see the old stalwart turning it all off and on again has come through once more.

Having worked in IT for over 30 years more often than not this has been the best solution.

Having turned everything off and on more than a dozen times in the last 48 hours, I never thought to start connecting the ones causing the problems (ie the iphones) first.

Thanks again Neil

Are you using static IP addresses on your Iphones?

No, they are set to DHCP.
