I hadn't had this problem in the two months I've had my hub either... until yesterday. Ever since, I get a few minutes' web browsing and then the hub 'dies'. I can ping, even getting a response from 192.168.100.1 but I can't get any sites to load in the browser. The hub's WebUI doesn't load or respond either, it just times out.
I've reinstalled Windows 7 x64, tried from Linux, tried on my phone... same thing. I even uninstalled my firewall and AV suite and rebooted, but to no avail. It's just randomly started denying web access (or access to itself) on a whim. Sometimes a reboot of the network adapter fixes things, but mostly I have to reboot the "super" hub itself.
Frankly I'm getting bored of this now. I want to use the internet, not spend 12 hours a day investigating and "fixing" the super hub just to load Google.
If I ring the 0800 50 meg support line, will they reactivate my modem MAC so I can ditch the hub? The engineer didn't take it (the modem) away when we moved house, so I still have it sat here waiting to restore decent service!...
