So I needed to switch out a single socket for a double socket in my garage. I must have touched the earth and neutral in the process of switching it as I have no lost all power in the garage, lights sockets, doors etc. Oddly none of the RCDs have been tripped in the process and are still in...

Thanks for all the replies. The issue with the puck is not wifi, as it's running off a powerline adapter plugged into one of the sockets behind the TV (though perhaos that is too weak - I'm sure it would be betetr with direct Cat6 cable). I've also been reading up on the issue on various sky...
