I like your thinking. Except next door are doing a really big favour and 
and I'm a bit reluctant to presume on them more than I have already.

The deal with the ISP is that they provide the router. Their diagnosis 
is that the existing one is shot and the one they are sending in the 
post will fix everything. I suspect they will find out differently 
tomorrow. We'll see.
