A further update.

Same as usual today. Turned on the PC, network icon showed I was connected but no pages would load.

Ran diagnostics on the connection and error came back 'Your computer appears to be correctly configured but the device or resource (DNS Server) is not responding'.

As previously, the only way I could a complete the connection was to reboot the hub.

That sounds more like a DNS server issue.

If your ISP is no help, you could try to change the DNS server addresses in the hub/router config to the Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).

And if this does not work then try those same setting for DNS in windows, so that the router is taken out of the equation.

If this works then try and borrow a different router and see if that cures the problem.

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in updating this but I changed some settings a couple of weeks ago and wanted to make sure the problem was resolved before replying.

I installed the latest Intel drivers which gives more settings options in device manager than default drivers. I disabled some power saving settings within the options and so far the issue has not returned.
