WIFI works fine.

Then when somebody connects their phone to the wifi. It drops all connections except the phone that connects. Then refuses to reconnect all other wifi devices.

Aside from blocking the phone access any ideas as to how to work around this?

Thanks

WRTU54G off the bottom.

Connections are usually:

x1 lappy
x1 Ethernet port connected to a mains power network which is connected to a set top TV box.

Both of these run at the same time no problem.

Except when a phone either of my sister's Sony phones connect (but not my crusty old one)

It drops the wifi connection to the lappy.
