NOW SOLVED 
I have a BrightBox router using fibre via wifi.
Over the last few weeks (no specific event comes to mind) I have had the weirdest problem and I really need someone's help please.
I am a member of one specific group where I spend 80% of my time when on Facebook. The issue is that my pc has taken to not loading the next post when I have scrolled to the bottom of the page. Same happens on my lappy and Windows phone .... nowhere else just that one group/page.
Here comes the odd part .... when my daughter brought around her iPad, connected it to the very same internet/wi-fi, suddenly the page works on my pc, phone and lappy. When she leaves it reverts so we repeated the process just to be sure.
I have wandered around many setting and haven't a clue. Rung the BrightBox router people and they say tough nothing to do with us but (to me) it clearly is.
I have ...
~ reset the router
~ tried the magical on/off at the socket
~ cleaned cookies, cache
~ extended disc clean-up
~ defragged
~ and cleared the DNS
~ rebooted at every stage
Using the wonderful tutorials here I tried downloading the Setup A Network link from Tutorials to see if that might help but it failed to list any routers let alone my BrightBox.
This is what I see in the Network and Sharing Centre ....

I wondered if starting again from scratch and making a new connection from router to pc might work but can't find out how to get rid of the existing one (if I should), how to disconnect the one I must be using or how to make a new one?
Cruel Daughter refuses to let me kidnap her iPad so I have turned to you my techy friends to try and help me please. I am techy dim but can follow instructions. Being stuck indoors with heart failure my pc is my most precious way to pass time and keep in touch with life
All any any advice hugely welcomed. (I took a cut'n'paste of my BrightBox page and sent it to myself as an email so can copy it here if that can help at all)
