Hi Sleepless
Router hiccup or central update from my ISP are the first things I checked but neither of these events happened because my modem was working as expected, with no changes, plus I could still log onto the Internet with my Tablet.
You know, I'm thinking it was some sort of hiccup within Win8.1 because everything else, i.e. all my hardware and software, were working properly, only Win8.1 had suddenly lost all it's w-fi settings and properties.
I know I cannot say with any kind of certainty why this problem suddenly occurred while my son was on the Internet but the problem is now cured.
Unless someone else can come up with a plausible explanation then this will (forever) remain a mystery.
