Can you connect your Macbook using an Ethernet cable, to prove that it is a wireless problem?
Also, do you have a spare wireless router, or similar device with wireless?

I have tried using a cable. In this case I had no problem and was able to connect - however the problem even with the wireless is intermittent. In the past (last week) I have used a cable and have had absolutely no connectivity with the router whatsoever!
I have a spare router however it is an ADSL router and not sure how (or whether) it will link up with Infinity. If it will then I would much rather be using it than the HH3 as it has many more features which I'd like to see!
I have contacted BT and explained the issue, and was a bit hurt to be told that there would be a chargeable fee should I wish to continue with the diagnosis, and to call a different number to do so.

The fact that its an ADSL router still means that you can just use the wireless part only as a wireless access point.
If you tell me the make and model, I can tell you how to do it. That should solve the wireless problem

It is a Belkin F5D7632-4 (version 5000uk). I hope that this is useful.

Yes it should be, I will take a look at the online manual, and let you know here.
If I am reading the manual right, that is a dual ADSL/CABLE router, as it has an option to change the ISP connection from PPPoA to PPPoE.
If that is the case, then it can replace the home hub 3 totally.
I am reading the manual here http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p74725uk_f5d7632uk4_manrev.pdf
The side of the box indicates support for both the PPPoA and PPPoE protocol. I'm not sure where this fits in with Infinity as I have limited knowledge here. The box mentions itbeing an ADSL modem only and has no reference to Cable, and the rear of the router has 4 Ethernet ports and an ADSL port only.

Leave everything else as it is for the moment.
My Adobe reader does not display the pictures, but it possible that the ADSL socket will fit a RJ11 or an Ethernet cable.
If you have the proper manual it should tell you which to use for the WAN port.

Which cables should I be plugging into where?
