Losing connection

My Hub One is losing connection regularly (>once a day). The main light remains blue, but no devices connected to it can access the internet (websites report a DNS timeout). On restarting the router, it takes a while to regain a connection, including a stage with an orange main light and orange broadband light. However, it regains a connection without fail (so far). This is obviously an inconvenience I would like to be rid of!

Apologies that you're having problems with your connection.
The main light remains blue, but no devices connected to it can access the internet (websites report a DNS timeout).
Is this the same across wired and wireless devices?

Yep, ethernet and wifi connected devices all have the same problem.

If/when this happens again, can you try browsing to the router's admin pages and seeing if you can access them please, preferably from a device using ethernet to the router. To get to the router admin pages open a browser and enter 192.168.1.254 in to the address bar.

I've successfully navigated to the hub's admin pages on multiple occasions (whilst suffering this disconnection). It states that it is connected to broadband.
