BT Broadband WIFI cutting out overnight
nd after periods of inactivity. Is it going to sleep mode?
As soon as I touch the mouse/ keyboard on my fixed connection PC, WIFI resumes as normal.
Any ideas?

Re: BT Broadband WIFI cutting out overnight

What other devices do you have on WiFi, if only the PC is showing the problem then it is likely to be the settings on the PC. My laptop can take a few seconds to re-establish WiFi after being left untouched for a while.

Re: BT Broadband WIFI cutting out overnight
The PC is hard wired to the modem - no problem there.
I have an iphone and an ipad and also the TV uses WIFI when needed. The iphone and ipad behave the same way: they seem to loose connection at some point (even though the WIFI signal is strong in the whole house) and when woken up, its failing to re-establish connection with the circle going round and round for many minutes.
When I get fed up waiting, walk down to the PC, do something - mouse move, 'return', etc, the connection comes back almost immediately.
Slightly annoying after a bath!
Any ideas?
