Hello guys,
As of late (and since upgrading to Windows 10) I've had a wifi problem.
Here's my setup:
VMedia Superhub (downstairs) and Netgear WNR3500v2 Router Upstairs, used as extender for better coverage. (hard wired from Superhub)
The Netgear is hard-wired to a PC upstairs and in the past, (ever since Windows XP right through to Windows 7) if the upstairs PC was off, the wifi would still broadcast and allow wifi devices to go online. It was working ok on Windows 10 too until 3 days ago, but now, if the PC to which the netgear is hardwired too is off, there is no wifi.
Also, as a secondary question, I would appreciate some help with this niggle: If I'm downstairs, my iPhone shows I'm connected to the 'superhub' while upstairs the wifi is called 'netgear' it's all the same connection as 'netgear' is an extender to 'superhub' it gets complicated at times if you move around the house and it keeps chopping and changing between the two wireless networks. My question is this: Is it possible to make superhub and netgear networks work as one wireless network instead of 2 seperate ones? Obviously I can't just change the SSID to superhub, since I would still have two wifi networks both of which would be called superhub! I just want one wifi network for the entire house.
Also, I have not installed any new software or devices, my system is clean of malware and Windows 10 has all the latest updates. Both routers firmware are up to date too. I have tried system restore but no difference.

Remember! You should exercise complete CTRL and you ALT to think carefully before you DELete stuff willy nilly.
