I left out four words- it should have read:

Modern routers prevent the forwarding of any port to the broadcast address [e.g. 192.168.0.255] for security reasons.

Superhub 1 and 2 both support port forwarding - see attached.
My point is that WOL worked perfectly with the superhub 1. It may be that the LAN connection to the PC must be handled differently in that the connection is in a different state when the PC is in sleep mode. I know the WOL packets are getting through when the PC is on.
On the subject of using a different router with the superhub in modem mode do Virgin do a separate modem - they used to? I'm not sure if I would want two full sized routers on my desk.
