HI David   I can't quite believe this...having cleaned the port, opened the modem (voiding warranty in process coz of that silly sticker), cleaned that, changed 5 cables...and then being asked to log in when I went into the wifi router url, I received an internet light...browser still could not find anything, so recycled the Huawei HG659 and suddenly I have internet...and I have no idea what that might have been, it could well have been the log in request that set it all off, but I have learnt something of trouble-shooting at least...thanks so much for your time, stay happy, healthy and distant...   Cheers Steven ...
