The wireless switch, a Buffalo, is connected to a Netgear range extender. My laptop is connected to the same range extender (which is connected to the Virgin hub).

I do not experience any problems maintaining my connection to the network/internet from my laptop.

(And thank you, both, for helping.)

UPnP uses multicast communication which isn't the same protocol that is used to talk to the internet from a laptop.

The problem with multicast could be related to the range extender, the Virgin hub or the Buffalo switch. To find out which of these is causing the problem, you would need to experiment with different configurations, perhaps using long Ethernet cables to replace some components temporarily.
