Hi Rick and all

I have reconnected the MC200 directly to the BT Hub 2 with an ethernet cable and connected the BT Vision + with the supplied ethernet over power adapters, all ethernet connections with fixed IP address and all appears to be working fine.

Will report back if any further issues crop up and will try the ethernet switch when it arrives

Thanks all for the help and advice
