Thanks for the link. If you're referring to the comment by pb about dual-band switching, it's interesting though I don't know how I'd check which band all the devices are using.
You don't know? This is what Google is for! :-) Sign into the router GUI and inspect the connection properties for each connected/ attached device. If you don't have access there, inspect the connection properties at each device.
Reading that does raise another issue though that I'd completely forgotten about. Shortly after getting this additional laptop, I also acquired a secondhand HP printer with wireless capability. I tried to run through the steps to set the wireless but like so many others using Linux and this model of printer, this didn't seem to work correctly. I did succeed in connecting the printer to the network but not the laptop to the printer, so I simply plugged in the USB cable. It was around this time that I first noticed the problems with the wireless. I did recently switch the wireless function off on the printer as it's not used, but perhaps connecting it in the first instance has messed something up in the router configuration.
This is feasible, I guess. You normally establish the network connection between the router and printer, first, and confirm it is visible (connected as a client, with an IP address) and *then* you install the printer driver on your system and configure it as a 'network printer.'
