I’m not sure what that arrangement is but isn’t there some way you can try an alternative long enough to confirm that’s not the problem?
As an aside, Pi 4 and Pi 5 need more muscular power supplies than previous models. I stick to the official RPi supplies and have never had a power-related problem.

That is so often the case isn't it
. I use the official power supply with both my Pis but the lounge one is plugged in behind the TV cabinet so it's a right pain to get to.On the plus side the office Pi has been working fine all day so I think that pretty much confirms it's some kind of hardware issue as opposed to the network. Once the new micro SD card arrived I will try swapping them over and hope that fixes the problem. It was a fairly old 32GB card that was in a couple of other devices before so I wouldn't be surprised if it is dead.
