Give them a bit of grief cos they will argue with you but they KNOW the 5 is a bad router/modem...so they will give you the new model
I will ring them and report back.

I looked this morning and there were a few more hubs 'being seen' by the software this morning - they were on Channel 11. So, in the last 24 hours I have now seen various hubs in my vicinity on channels 1,6 and now 11. The signal strengths of these new channel 11's seems quite low (-84 and - 92 dbm) compared to my HH's signal strength (-66dbm) so I have changed my HH's channel to be 11 as you have suggested. I will report back - but would feed back that the laptop had not connected to the Bt-fon signal overnight and all appeared ok, but it has been ok for a few days in the past and then the problem returns so it is not time to celebrate yet.
As per the previous post I will try and get BT to send me a HH6.
Thanks to all the contributors for your help so far.
I spoke to a number of BT people, but despite my efforts an updated Home Hub was not forthcoming. I really tried I can tell you, they are sending a replacement HH 5 which should be forthcoming next Tuedsday.
